So much win! Really I can’t say anything other than "This is awesome! and you should read it! Now! Millions of stars!
I’ve read all of the "Knight Sagas" posted and despite the editor’s note, it’s less "futuristic cop with robot buddy", and more "Magical, alchemical cop bound to enigmatic supernatural creature with implications of slavery."

The first part of the story I read was solid, with a futuristic "cop on his first day" kind of feel. His partner is a robot and the woman he reports to knew his mother. He’s cocky and his new boss is a traditionalist. The robot takes everything literally.

What fun!
I came to this hoping to find a mainstream (i.e. adult) story among all the high school monsters and zombies, but the hard-boiled ‘tec bit quickly slipped into SF, at least to the extent of a robot client.
But it’s not really SF, it’s humor. A close cousin would be Roger Rabbit, with the detective involved in something not at all real, but a huge lot of fun.
Once that’s established, things move along, then blow sky high. This is the sort of story that tends to get under-rated. The light tone and faux deadpan makes it look easy. But it’s the real thing, albeit wild and crazee
My favorite line so far: (and an example of the understatement I mentioned) "Her face was unreadable- robot emotions can be hard to interpret."
