Master-List of Active Detroit: Become Human Writers On Tumblr
New to writing fiction for the fandom, or your name isn't on the list? Comment/Reblog and I will add your name to this post! Note that I am adding writers with fics already up on AO3/Wattpad only, but I will continue to add more as we grow!
Apologies for mass tagging people, but I wanted there to be a list of active DBH Fanfiction writers to make it easier to find each other on here! LINKS TO fanfic source and Tumblr are included!
I also would like readers to take note that EVERY WRITER that I post here will appreciate positive comments on their fic! Even if it's just a heart, emoji, "I enjoyed it", or "Second Kudos", it will MAKE THEIR DAY! Please comment on fics that you enjoyed no matter hold old they are!
Also stats such as Hits, Kudos, or the fact that I have read the fic is in no way a reflection of the quality of the fic, but I will be noting whether or not I've read their fic as a checklist for myself. I will put the writers in alphabetical order based on their Tumblr name for organizational purposes!
Also if you wish to be taken off this list, just shoot me a DM and I will do so. It is so awesome that there are not only so many active DBH writers but also - if you made it to this list, that means you haven't blocked me yet, so Kudos to you for that! :D
[Update pending: Will add relationship/family/character tags in a future update on December 5th, 2024. (You can also feel free to comment your fave ship to write about in the replies) Sorry this is just a list of names with any distinguishing of category, but this already took so long, you will just have to try your luck! Please notify if one of or more of the links is wrong/broken; I am a human; I will make mistakes!]
Color coding:
(In the Tumblr names)
Recent - Updated within the past 3 months
Active - Writing for the Fandom (Updated within the last 13 months)
Hiatus - Updated over 13 months ago/Leaving Fandom
??? - 2+ Years Since Last Update/ No Longer Writing for the Fandom, but still replies to comments!!!
[Sometimes I'll mix colors 'cause they wrote recently but are leaving the fandom or something]
(In the AO3 names)
Pink - I've read every single one of their fics, and perhaps re-read some!
Blue again (not enough colors) - I have read a good portion of their fics
Red One - I have read at least one of their fics/they only have one or two
Pending - I haven't read anything from them... YET!
[Example of my color system would be:
@kissoflightning because this writer has posted a DBH fic in November, 2024
KissOfLightning because I have read every single one of this person's fics for fun; they write all of my favorite tropes! ]
Okay, brace yourself for a LONG LIST below the cut!
Reappearing after disappearing for like two plus months like hello 👋 LMFOAO the end of the year is always busy for me and I got married teehee. Busy but not gone yall—I love and miss you all ❤️
Oh my gosh, apologies for being like two weeks late 😩 Life has just been nuts but I’m hoping to get on a regular uploading schedule of at least once a week soon 😤❤️
But all that aside, here it is ‼️ New chapter ‼️
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
Sorry for the delay on next chapter of yours and mine—I was hoping to have it done on Sunday, but wanted to make it longer so I added more on Monday, and now I’m in the editing process as time allows :)
Should be up today or tomorrow at the latest! So excited to share it with you 👀❤️
AHHH Further delay cause my fiancé (can’t remember if I announced the engagement btw?? Anyway I’m halfway to being a husband so slay) has to go to the urgent care the other day :( he’s okay we’ve just been preoccupied!!!
Hello, it's been a while since I've sent something lol. Had my birthday and a bunch of other stuff in the last few weeks, so my month's been busy lol
I've been debating on if I want to make a sideblog for DBH or not for a little while (I haven't posted much on my main in a while and feel awkward just posting random stuff again lol, plus I'd like to start organizing my fixations into side blogs or whatever lol), plus I've kinda wanted to rewrite DBH or something (though I'm not the best writer).
Anyway, I'm curious on some headcanons you have about androids themselves? Like any functions or lifespans or what?
Also watched the Tech Demo with Kara and such, where she says stuff like how her "battery" can help her run automonously for, like, 173 years? That's a long time, especially since it seems like the rest of their body (or at least several) has planned obsolescence?
She also mentions she's a third-generation AX400, which also makes me curious about how "generations" of androids work.
Rambling a lot, lol, but yeah, I'm just curious about what your thoughts or ideas are on how they function and whatnot :0
- Connor-#51
It’s so nice to hear from you again! :) And happy belated birthday 🎉
You should definitely make a side blog for DBH! It’s so fun, you’d love it. And a rewrite would literally be so awesome! Having a sideblog is really useful for promoting your fics and other content too 🫶
OOH LOVE THIS QUESTION ‼️ Here’s a few Android head canons I have when it comes to functionality and all that:
More “common” androids (such as caretakers, houseworkers, and receptionists) have much longer lifespans than more “advanced” models like combat androids or those made for special cases—like Connor. I think this because those “common” models tend to be quite personable. They’re usually in a home, form routines that humans close to them rely on, and even as times change a maid’s program barely has to be updated. Cleaning, cooking, and babysitting stays pretty consistent. Whereas more special case androids are usually in fields that change wildly and however they were made or appear probably won’t suit the conditions for long. So I head canon those common androids probably are built with the intention of longevity (even if new models become available, upgrades aren’t required) whereas models like Connor are built with the intention of a shorter shelf life.
I know rationally it’s accepted (and maybe confirmed? Can’t remember) that their skin and hair is a hologram. But I personally headcanon it’s not and that they can coat themselves in a layer of synthetic skin and hair. I feel it like makes more sense to 1.) make people more comfortable with the androids (it’s gonna be way easier for a child to bond with a caretaker android if when she takes its hand, it feels like human skin rather than hard and cold) and 2.) when considering sex work androids, who is going to want to pay to be intimate with something hard and plastic-y feeling to the touch yknow? I’m sure people would, but if it doesn’t feel human, I doubt it would be as popular. And I’m sure they would make the others in the same way even if they’re not doing sex work cause I additionally headcanon that pretty much all androids (except for children and maybe a few others) have some kind of genitalia. Because we know how people are, I’m sure any android that works in the home is probably equipped for intimacy. And there are the life partner androids as well. Etc, etc.
I know a lot of people head canon them to be very heavy cause they’re walking machines full of thirium, but I don’t think androids are any heavier or lighter than standard human weight. I imagine the weight of their blood is the heaviest part as their bodies are probably made of something sturdy but lightweight. And the inner mechanisms coming in at the second heaviest. I just think that would even out to being more or less pretty standard
Sorry for the delay on next chapter of yours and mine—I was hoping to have it done on Sunday, but wanted to make it longer so I added more on Monday, and now I’m in the editing process as time allows :)
Should be up today or tomorrow at the latest! So excited to share it with you 👀❤️
GUYS JUST HEAR ME OUT DO U SEE THE VISION. DO U SEE THE VISION.
“measure 53 to 61 — can we take that a little slower?”
“of course. i’m assuming it’s a dramatic moment?”
“yes! the character is — i am — realizing the truth behind this lie that was told and it’s very emotionally stunning. after those measures, you can go back to the original tempo. maybe ease into playing more… passionately?”
“i can assure you, i am very passionate in my music”
“i didn’t mean it like that! i misspoke—”
“i know, i know! you’re so easy to worry connor. i understand, i’ll play with more… gusto!”
“markus.”
“what??”

Still rewriting some Seeker Chapters, but I'm happy with the results so far!
🌐7 Circles🌐 Ch 4: You're Very Welcome
By the time Seeker reconvenes with Duke Vayne, over an hour has passed and they're feeling leagues better. Their skin was washed and moisturized, their hair meticulously cleaned, dried, and re-braided. They even allowed themself a small emotional breakdown in the shower before returning to their role of poised diplomat.
Tagging @katenewmanwrites @smellyrottentrees @wyked-ao3 @fortunatetragedy @cowboybrunch @zackprincebooks @urbiggestfan-01 to share some recent writing! (no pressure) + Open tag!
The pirate king of deaths redemption Chapter 9 "we meet again"
Oisìn said, “I would appreciate the help but what is the cost?” Narrowing his eyes.
Daimhín laughed, “come aboard and we can discuss that.” He should have known it was just a distrust of pirates.. He wondered what crew Oisìn had run into before.
thank you for the tag @jev-urisk
I was literally working on it when I got the notification (my Tumblr is acting up with some delayed notifications???)
No pressure Tagging @mauannacreates @theaistired @lillybaaaka @sunglasses-in-the-bentley @gioiaalbanoart
They broke apart with a laugh.
“Fuck you very much, Tony!” Bucky yelled and Steve blushed mildly. “Language, Bucky.” “Oh please, you’ve got a mouth like a sailor.”
“Maximo, “ Liam gently scolded. “I tell you every time.”
He grabbed one of the small knives from the table and traced it delicately across his collarbone.
“Pleading won’t stop the pain.”
no pressure tags: @whumpdoyoumean @mirasmirages @cakeinthevoid and anyone else :)
Hey, thanks! I have a few active WIPs right now, but most recently worked on a rewrite of an old Suits fic I wrote back in the day. Mike whump and worried Harvey be upon ye!
"Mike!" Harvey lunges forward, catching his associate under the arms with a grunt. The sudden weight pulls him forward, but he manages to slow Mike's descent. There are gasps and murmurs and Harvey looks up, making eye contact with one of the security guards. "Call 911!" he barks as he lowers Mike to the floor as carefully as he can.
I feel bad cus these things always seem to die with me (I get anxious about tagging people haha), so please if you see this and would like to participate, consider yourself tagged! Or let me know if you'd like me to tag you in the future. (:
My last line is absolutely nothing special because this chapter's kind of dragging a bit in terms of the ~pizzazz~ but! Write first, revise later if necessary, yes?
"We appreciate it," Hank says before glancing at Reed. Technically Hank's the lead on this investigation, and although he has his own questions, Reed's the one who set the ball rolling here, so he's willing to let him take the first shot.
tagging @wamblings and @ltcolonelcarter and @deviantrevolution and @detroitbecomeonline and anyone else who wants to participate <3
thank you for the tag!!! ignore any grammar mistakes, pls!
A blanket drapes over Alice’s shoulders, dragging along behind her as she slides across the kitchen tile on socked feet just to ram into Kara. They both stumble into the counter, nearly falling against Rose, but Alice is smiling, more carefree than Kara has ever seen the girl allow herself to be.
no obligation to, but tagging: @glxyqst @temporary-enthusiasm @precursor-ao3 @leelany-world @sweeteatercat and anyone that wants to tag themselves, feel free!!
Gavin's lips slowly curl into a melancholic smile. His throat is getting alarmingly tight.
He's pathetic, so fucking pathetic. Because, he almost hopes he will never lose these bruises Hank left behind.
In the end, no one sees or hears him cry as his tears melt into the water and vanish down the drain.
@sunwarmed-ash @andthekitchensinkao3 @negative-citadel @connorboyyy aaaand and anyone who wants to 😊
Not really a line, but how about a little snippet from the upcoming chapter of yours and mine?
“Hmm? Oh, I’m going with Blaine today.” He said as casually as he could, not once making eye contact as he collected his things.
“What?” Hank demanded. He, on the other hand, was not trying to sound casual. There was no attempt to hide the shock and rising anger in his voice.
Connor cut his eyes over to him, sharp and burning. Finally looking into his eyes now Connor could see that they mirrored a similar expression. Hank had a lot of nerve to talk like that after what he did. “You seem like you need the space.” He snapped. He had no intention of hearing Hank’s response, turning and storming off without so much as a glance over his shoulder.
I’ll tag @remyderatz if he’s got any projects in the works! Otherwise, I’m not sure who’s writing right now and who’s not. So if you see this and wanna do it, please do!! :)
Thinking about deviant Connor looking in the mirror and seeing nothing more than a man-made appliance—just a case full of wires. Even his blood nothing more than a component to the machine.
And thinking about Hank’s gentle reminders that follow. Hell, I’m just a sack of veins and blood, just like you. Different stuff, but same design.
It’s the mind that counts, he says, tapping Connor on the LED still spinning yellow. All my emotions are just signals from my brain. Just like yours.
Hank could go on to say that Connor doesn’t have to be human. He can be this new, intelligent species that’s utterly separate. That his advanced intellect probably leads to more intense signals. Intensified emotions, quicker thinking, stronger body…
But he doesn’t. That’s not what Connor wants to hear yet. Connor just wants to feel real. While he holds Connor in his arms and feels very human-like tension in the body he’s cradling, he just smiles at that simple task at hand.
