Detroit Become Human/Ships

=Carlski=  Carlski is the slash ship between Carl Manfred and Elijah Kamski.

Canon
Carl and Elijah aren’t ever seen interacting with each other on-screen, but we do know that the two of them are friends. The game’s character gallery describes them as such in one of the descriptions of Markus, and one of Carl. Alongside that, the gallery mentions that Markus was a gift from Elijah to Carl. That information can be also found in-game, while playing as Connor in the chapter “Public Enemy”, where upon scanning Markus’ face on a recording, this fact appears to Connor alongside Markus’ name and model number.

In the chapter “Meet Kamski”, we can see another evidence of Carl and Elijah likely at least knowing each other in the form of a painting made by Carl hanging in Elijah’s house. A copy of that painting can be found in Carl’s house as well.

Fanon
As a romantic ship, Carlski isn’t popular, having below 10 works on AO3. Despite that, it is the second most written romantic ship for Carl (with many platonic ships exceeding it). On Tumblr, there’s also only a few pieces of fanart with the ship to be found. However, a slightly bigger amount of people in the fandom are interested in exploring their dynamic in the platonic way, creating content about what their friendship could be like – for example how they met, or how did Elijah gifting Markus to Carl go.

Works involving Carlski in the romantic sense sometimes take place pre-canon, presenting it as a relationship that used to be, but fell apart before the events of the game. Carlski also sometimes gets written in some sort of a combination with Leoski.

Canon
Should the player thwart the android uprising, Connor will arrive at the Zen Garden to debrief with Amanda. She'll tell Connor how “glad” she is to see him and that with the past events, CyberLife will have to rebuild its costumer's trust. Amanda tells Connor she has a “surprise” she wishes to show him. She then gestures to Connor RK900, telling Connor of this new Connor's abilities; faster, stronger, more resilient, and equipped with the latest technologies. She continues to tell him how the state department just ordered 200,000 units. Connor asks what will happen to him, to which Amanda says, ''“You've become obsolete. You'll be deactivated. You can go now.”'' As Connor walks and Amanda goes back to tending the garden, RK900 Connor turns his head to watch RK800 Connor walk away.

During this entire interaction, both Connors don't speak to each other, but rather merely stare at each other.

Fanon
This ship has really begun to take off. Though debated against, some fans believe Connor RK900 to be evil, while others think he's still Connor RK800 (just with more abilities, and slightly taller). RK900 is most often portrayed as “the top” in their relationship.

On AO3, RK1700 is the eighth (technically tenth) most written ship within the Detroit: Become Human fandom tag; RK800 Connor's fifth most written, and RK900 Connor's third.

=Sikus= <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Sikus is the non-binary ship between Markus and Simon.

Canon
When Markus first finds Jericho (a refuge for androids), Simon is the first to welcome him. After speaking with Lucy, Markus finds Simon, telling him he knows where to find spare parts for the other broken androids. Simon argues against it, saying the humans will never allow it. Once North comes up and says she's with Markus, Simon then says, "Maybe it's worth a try."

Markus, Simon, Josh and North are at the CyberLife facility for new parts. Markus volunteers to take down a drone the group needs to pass, when a successful Simon will ask if he's okay.

Markus sees how androids are being treated while sitting outside on a bench. He heads back to Jericho and tells the others that humans need to hear what they have to say. Markus (along with North) infiltrate a broadcast building. They meet up with Simon and Josh once inside. After giving his speech to the humans, the group is attack by armed security. Simon is shot in the leg and tells Markus to go without him. In reposes, Markus runs to his aid, helping him walk. With security closing in, they must jump. But knowing Simon won't make it and Markus refusing kill him, saying he won't kill one of their own, he hands Simon a gun to protect himself.

For some time, Simon's fate is unknown, until, two Markus' chapters later, as Markus is walking down the hallway, he sees Simon on the other side, returning to Jericho. As they see each other again, after it was unsure whether Simon would even live, they embraced each other. Shortly after, Simon joined Markus, North, Josh and the rest of Jericho in a march for android rights. As Markus converts more and more androids, who then join the march, the police block the androids, and threaten to shoot them if they do not disperse. While North sugests fighting the police and Josh suggests standing the ground, proving their point even if it means dying, Simon thinks they should just leave, as dying there won't solve anything. Markus agrees with Simon, choosing to leave, but even as the androids start to disperse, the policeman gives out an order to his men to start shooting. The androids run away, but still, a number of them is shot. (alternatively, if the player goes with Josh's idea, and has the androids sacrifice themselves for their cause, Markus gets shot, and under certain curcumstances, Simon can fight the police and sacrifice himself so the rest have enough time to save Markus and drag him back to Jericho.)

At the start of the next chapter, Markus, Simon, Josh and North are discussing the humans' reactions to the march, and what they should do next. Whether next step Markus says they should take, Simon supports him. If Markus says it should be confrontation, Simon will agree to his order to get more guns in order to be able start fighting. If Markus says he should go talk to the humans, Simon puts his hand on Markus' shoulder, and tells him to mainly come back. If Markus thinks they should lay low and resume their fight later, Simon will agree. After a conversation, everyone except Markus leaves, and Connor confronts Markus, but Markus manages to turn him on their side. Not too long after, a police raid on Jericho starts, and as Markus runs away, he frist re-meets North, He asks her where are Simon and Josh, which she doesn't know, because they got seperated. Markus goes to blow up Jericho, and afterwards reconnects with North, Simon and Josh as they jump out of the ship as it gets blown up.

In the next chapter, Markus decides what to next, and can talk to Simon beforehand. Simon will tell him that their people are counting on him, that he's the only one who can lead them, and that they'll all follow him whereever. (or, if North dies in the previous chapter, Simon becomes the one who Markus discusses the situation with in detail, and talks to about the death of North, and in case he also dies, Josh) Markus ends up deciding on a peaceful demonstration.

Simon, just like the rest of the remaining androids of Jericho stand by Markus as he leads the demonstration to a successful end, where androids gain, at least temporarily, their freedom as the president orders the army surrounding them to stand down thanks to the popularity the androids reached within the human populace, but one of the most notable moments between Simon and Markus happens if Markus goes for a violent revolution, attacking the humans with the goal to free androids waiting for destruction in camps. If, on that path, at one point, Markus is badly wounded, and Simon is closer to him than North, Simon gives his heart to Markus so he can keep on fighting for the revolution, noting that their hearts are compatible as he suggests this. Unlike if North suggests that she will give Markus her heart, Markus cannot refuse Simon's heart.

There is also a moment during the battle where Simon gets badly wounded and can possibly die on the battlefield, but Markus can devise a plan to get him to safety in time. A lot of other androids have to cover Markus, and thus die, so he can save Simon, and if Markus saves him, Simon tells him he shouldn't have sacrificed so many others just to save him, but it is shown he appreciates it through a big improvement of Simon's relationship to Markus, as shown in the top right of the screen as Simon reprimands Markus.

Fanon
On AO3, Sikus is the fifth (technically sixth) most written ship within the Detroit: Become Human fandom tag; Markus' second most written and Simon's most written. However, the difference between the amount of fanfiction for Sikus and for the fourth (technically fifth) most written ship in the fandom, RK1000, is (as of September 2023) extremely small.

In the amount of fan content, the biggest rival of Sikus is RK1000, but Norkus, despite its way smaller amount of fan content, is also a rival ship to Sikus, due to itbeing the optionally canon ship for Markus.

There is a theory/rumor running between the Sikus shippers that Simon was meant to be romanceable, but it was scratched due to that the game would have too many diverging paths as a result. It is based on a comment David Cage, the director of the game, gave as a reply to a comment asking whether Markus was ever meant to have other love interests, for example Simon, as the asker felt he paralled North in many ways. David Cage replied that Markus was meant to have more love interests, but the dialogue would then have an unmanagable amount of permutations, so they focused on Markus' romance with North. Cage said that if Markus had another love interest, a male character would potentially work. It wasn't said that a Simon romance path was planned, but some people interpreted it as such, and others might've not, but they feel like they see enough hints of it in-game.

Sikus shippers feel that the ship becoming canon in-game would make a lot of sense and maybe even work better than the romance between Markus and North. Some of them were so determined to see the ship become canon that they started a petition on change.org for adding a romance path for Simon.
