    i'm here, i'm yours for a moment

     

    -

    He’s handed you his heart, and you don’t think he knows he’s got yours too. “I’d give up cigarettes if you asked me to.”

    “I know.” You assure him; you do know.

    A pause, and then he asks hesitatingly, “You’re not asking me to, right, Kim?”

    “No, Harry,” You say, a laugh in your voice. You laugh harder when he sighs in relief, shaking your head against his shoulder.

    Summary

    Navigating their lives after Martinaise proves complicated for Harry and Kim as they attempt to balance work and personal life, but things get even more complicated when they have to confront a series of cases that bring more questions than answers, like 'is it normal to care about your partner this much?' and 'so what if I love you, what does that matter?' and 'can all of these cases really be connected?'

    A slow(fast?) burn casefic with low stakes(except for minor peril) and minimal angst(except for one chapter). I promise there's spice, I really surprised myself with how long it takes us to get to it but it's there.

    Summary

    Harry Du Bois is struggling to re-integrate himself into his old life. His home is full of empty Pilsners and speed bottles, memories of the worse man he used to be. Work has Kim Kitsuragi and Jean Vicquemare and the increasingly complicated relationship between the three of them. The streets of Jamrock speak of childhood traumas, of ex-somethings, of old attempts - but also of a stirring, a change, something new on the breeze. Everywhere seems impossible to be right now - and Harry's the one who has to start putting all the pieces back together.

    Summary

    “No,” Jean says. His voice is gruff. It hitches. He’s getting angry again, working himself up over something. You don’t know what it is exactly, but you feel your hackles raise in response, your impulse to survive pumping through your organs and limbs. “No, you want to know where my boogie went, shitkid? I’m fucking pissed at you. That’s where it went. It went wherever all the fucks I have to give went.”

    “You still have fucks to give,” you counter. “I think.”

    “And that’s the fucking problem, isn’t it? I can’t keep covering this shit for you! Goddamn it, Harry, you’re a walking liability! You have no idea how close you are to losing your job, do you? You could have lost it just now, for all you know!”

    He isn’t helping you up. Your leg is hurting. The only thing to do is to lie on the ground, wincing as the entirety of your body tries to straighten itself out. You’re too tired to fight or argue. Your ugly crying has wrung you out. Your head feels stuffy and tight but there’s a quiet relief settling in your chest. It’s nice.

    “You aren’t even listening to me. Again. You don’t even fucking care.”

    “Of course I’m listening, Jean. It’s just the same shit, different day.”

    Summary

    After the disaster/miracle that was the Hanged Man case, a badly injured Harry du Bois is kicked out of his apartment. His temporary partner Kim Kitsuragi very kindly offers to take him into his own home until he gets back on his feet, all too eager to keep an eye on a man who both fascinates and somewhat repulses him, a man who he might have become a bit too attached to over the course of a week.

    It turns out that keeping a mentally unstable addict who receives visions of the apocalypse safe and occupied as revolution brews in their city is much more harrowing than Kim ever could have expected.

    Summary

    SAVOIR FAIRE: You pick the dice up, delicately as you can, and roll it across your palm before dropping it onto the table. It rattles and bounces against the takeaway containers before landing, its gold-inked number displayed proudly.
    Kim’s Beautiful Stained Glass Dice: See? I told you I was good luck, darling! That’s a natural twenty four. The best you can do.
    KIM KITSURAGI: He peers over you. “I thought you’d like that one,” he says.

    Kim and Harry play Wirral Unleashed. Harry has complicated feelings; about Kim, about the RCM, about his place in the world. Roleplaying games are an excellent form of therapy.

    Summary

    HALF-LIGHT: A thought occurs to you.
    VOLITION: Don't say it. Please. You don't have to say everything that comes into your head.
    You: "Kim," you say, your voice plaintive. "Am I a criminal? Did I do a crime in the last twenty-four hours? Is that why the RCM are sniffing around a high school gym?"

    Following a minor concussion, 28-year-old gym teacher Harry Du Bois finds himself missing the last 24 hours of his memory. He teams up with Patrol Officer Kim Kitsuragi from the Juvenile Crime Division to solve the case of his missing memories, a minor theft, and a first degree murder. Both of them get a whole lot more than they bargained for.

    Summary

    DRAMA- There are little pieces of golden microglitter sticking to every inch of your pale and bloated flesh. Like you’re trying to turn yourself into an aquatic disco ball.
    CONCEPTUALISATION- This is your home now. This is where you live. In the bath tub.

    Harry is getting better. He is trying his hardest to do better. He's bathing regularly and reading self help books. He's focusing on his cases, like the recent murder of a suspicious investor at a local restaurant. And he's desperately trying to forget the unfortunate kiss that he shared with his partner Kim in Martinaise nearly a year ago. Somehow it's still not working.

    Summary

    You like it when they talk in their sleep, even when it's about you, muttering your name interspersed with curses and what sounds like 'it's okay, easy now' on repeat, the same soft tone they use on the horses. It does it's job well enough; even if it doesn't get you to take the gun out of your mouth, it usually makes you laugh long enough to give Jean a chance at wrestling it away from you.

     

    Harry takes a moment to reflect instead of improve.

    Summary

    "Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun." It's nothing but awful noise. Guttural and messy, stretching out each vowel before the words collapse in on themselves towards the end, slurring together horribly. You sound every bit like the alcoholic you are. Three days sober haven't changed that in the slightest, you'll always be what you always have been.

     

    Harry tries and fails to hold a normal conversation.
