Summary
In the wake of the Revolution, humans and androids alike are left to grapple with their respective roles as autonomous, feeling, equal beings. On a macro level, the infrastructure to support a free android race does not yet exist. Androids must continue fighting for agency and recognition: particularly over the production and distribution of Thirium 310, a substance as vital to them as blood is to their human counterparts. Humans, meanwhile, are forced to reckon with the implications of coexisting alongside a race created to outlive, outpace, and outdo them in all regards.
And the ramifications of these conflicts of interest impact all relationships between humans and androids -- even the most trusting and the most tender. Even the one that is slowly, reluctantly, desperately simmering between Hank Anderson and Connor.
But maybe there's a way to level the playing field. With new, confidential research underway, a means of eliminating mortality altogether may be within reach, rendering humans and androids truly unified -- and rendering death a preventable tragedy.
(Fic is completed and will be posted in chapters over the coming weeks.)

Summary
“I do find these humans rather interesting,” Q2 says with a shrug. “I’m beginning to understand what you see in them. After all the things you’ve done, they’re still intent on keeping you safe.”
Q frowns. “Really?”
“Really,” Q2 nods. They have a tiny frown on their face. “I don’t understand it.”
“Neither do I,” Q says. And then the realization hits him like a thunderbolt. “Oh,” he says with a low chuckle. “Oh, you’ve already begun to see what I see. Tell me who it is, Q. Tell me who’s been cursed with your interest.”
~
Q and Q2 on love, selfless acts, and mortality.
