    Summary

    The death of his wife in childbirth leaves Yuujin Mikotoba with severe depression, a mountain of guilt, and a daughter he is ill-equipped to care for. An attempt to put six thousand miles between himself and his grief doesn't work as well as he'd hoped. Maybe repeatedly putting himself in mortal peril alongside the most insufferable man in London will do the trick.

    --
    I.e. if Capcom won't give us "TGAA: Investigations: the Prequel" I will write it myself, as self-indulgently as I want.

    Summary

    Jamrock, November ’49. Jean and Harry go undercover in La Puta Madre.

    “Vic, this could be dangerous.”
    Jean takes a long drag of his cigarette, not breaking eye contact.
    “Yeah, I know you’re tough, Vic, but-” and something breaks on his face, something raw and open and pained comes through, and he spreads his hands wide, cigarette smoldering between his fingers. “You could get hurt, Vic. Or killed.”
    “Du Bois, I’ve been a cop for fifteen years. I don’t fucking care about that.”
    “I fucking do.” Harry smacks his hand flat on the table, knocking over a bottle, which falls, noisily. Talk stops - the guitar misses a beat - and Harry flushes, and picks it back up, setting it exaggeratedly on the table.
    “Why?” Jean says casually, once talk in the room returns to normal. His heart is pounding. “Why do you care so much?”
    For some reason, Harry flushes even more. “I hate training new partners,” he says.

    Summary

    It has been one year since his parents died and three weeks since he has agreed to stop using drugs. He's halfway through his second attempt at a senior year and he is failing every single class. He needs a tutor.

    A tutor in the form of the coolest guy he has ever met: Kim Kitsuragi.

    "PERCEPTION [Easy: success] - Your phone, which you left face up on your bed, is blinking with a notification. It is from someone you named ‘KK Slider’.

    LOGIC - That is the nickname that you secretly gave Kim. Kim is texting you.

    COMPOSURE - WHAT??

    EMPATHY - WHAT??

    SAVOIR FAIRE - WHAT??"

    Summary

    After Kim’s permanent transfer six months prior, Satellite-Officer Vicquemare became increasingly bitter and volatile around Harry, who always sought out the Lieutenant for second opinions during their cases, which gnawed at Jean’s sanity.

    The screaming matches were nothing new for them. Some people would have even said that anything too quiet was suspicious, but since his amnesia, Harry didn’t fight back, just apologized, stayed silent and looked at his shoes. The kicked puppy routine made Jean go nuclear for a myriad of unpleasant reasons. The main being that anyone witnessing these exchanges would instantly feel sorry for Harry, as if his amnesia absolved him of all the sins past and future, as if he was not the catalyst responsible for this dynamic.

    It lasted three more miserable months before an opportunity arose. And when it did, Jean asked Pryce immediately for the roles to be shuffled : that Kitsuragi officially be paired with Du Bois - he’s already doing all of his work with him anyways - and Vicquemare joining McCoy - Satellite-Officer Simon just went on indefinite sick leave didn’t he? I can take over.

    Summary

    You figure out a lot of things when Kitsuragi transfers to the 41st Precinct.
    The first thing is that Kitsuragi is as queer as a two reál piece.
    The second thing is that Harry wants to fuck him.
    The third thing is that Harry has not figured this out yet.
    The fourth thing is that Kitsuragi has.
    The fourth-and-a-half thing is that Kitsuragi also wants to fuck Harry.
    The fifth thing is that Kitsuragi is a patient man.
    The sixth thing is that you also want to fuck Kitsuragi.
    The seventh thing is that Kitsuragi figures this out the day you lean in to light his cigarette on the station roof. Your hand is shaking because Harry almost got the three of you fucking killed that day by being his stupid fucking bullheaded self, who cares if you caught a fucking murderer, and while he’s downstairs getting stitched up, you and Kitsuragi are up on the roof smoking. Your hand is shaking badly and Kitsuragi reaches out and grabs your wrist to steady it, the warmth smooth leather of his gloves on your bare wrist where your sleeve’s pulled up. You draw in a sharp breath and he looks at you and you can see from the sharpening of his eyes that he’s figured it out.

    Summary

    You're so hot, Kim, you think. So fucking hot. How'd I get so lucky.

    But you know it's not what he wants to hear. You manage to swallow back the words, to replace them with this:

    "Okay. Enough fucking around. Take off your glasses."

    Summary

    You're alone in the C-Wing doing mind-numbing paperwork. Kim has been shot and is now resting at home, the home you two share. Your colleagues are outside doing fieldwork. This whole situation leaves you uniquely vulnerable to idiots like Chester McLaine breaking into your wing and announcing stupid, non-sensical news along the lines of:
    Hey, Mullen. They’re saying that, starting next month, homo-sexuals will be able to marry each other in Revachol. Isn’t that great? You and Kimball can finally tie the knot.

    A story about how it sucks to be poor, how it sucks to be a queer, and how delightful it is to love someone.

    Summary

    Radios, recovery, and romance.

    Or, Harry starts listening to the radio. It gives him something to hold onto. (And maybe discovers the lost island of Atlantide while he’s at it.)

    Featuring: WEATHER FM, SAD FM, MIRRORBALL FM, and SPEEDFREAKS FM

     

    KIM KITSURAGI: “You know, when I was a child, I used to pretend I was flying an aerostatic through the pale and had discovered Atlantide. Mostly when I was trying to fall asleep.”

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He still does. Nights he really can’t sleep, he soars low, skimming the city: its tall clear buildings sparkling in the sun, the river snaking through the plain. Far below, a man looks up at him, shading his eyes. A child waves at him. A dog chases his shadow, snapping at it, never catching it.

    Summary

    Aldo has never really been one to think much about penance.

    “We honor God in a multitude of ways,” he’d told Thomas once. “I agree that discomfort is useful. We learn to turn away from our sins and commit to do better. I don't understand what mutilating yourself in His name is meant to accomplish. We were not put in this world to suffer, Thomas."

    Thomas had been quiet for a long time. "It is a different thing, though," he'd said finally. "You will agree on that much at least. Self-harm is a sin. Self-flagellation has a place in doctrine."

    Aldo had winced. "Next thing you'll tell me is you've joined Opus Dei. You don’t think confession is enough? Prayer?”

    “I think mortification of the flesh has its place,” he’d said absently, eyes faraway.

    “Does it serve a purpose, though, apart from hurting you? Does senseless pain really bring you any closer to Him?”

    Thomas had barely flinched. Aldo had felt possessed by the urge to grab his jaw and direct him forward, look at me, look!

    “We must repent, Aldo,” he’d said simply. "By whatever means necessary."

    He’s always thought Thomas did enough repentance as it was for the two of them. He thinks he understands better now.

    Summary

    Tedesco had always been a particularly skilled man at hiding his thoughts; he had a strange way of strengthening his affect, his manner of speaking or opinions, that could not be said to mislead a person on his intentions—he was an honest man to a fault—but left others wondering where he would go next. It might still be working now; his expression is so easy to read that Aldo wonders if this too is a trick.

    Summary

    Decidedly, he thinks Thomas is horrible at making descriptions of people.

    There is the cardinal he was waiting for, but the thick fabrics of his vestments are bunched up and wrinkled, unlike how any cardinal would let himself dress. His usually hunched posture is heavier, and the beat of his footsteps sounds slower. One would think moving brought him pain, and Aldo has never seen eyebags deeper and darker than the ones on Tedesco's worn face.

    The man looked as if hell itself had descended upon him, but what shocked Aldo the most was the hair.

    It is long. Shoulder length, unkempt. Thick strands of silver tangling together to form a greasy, stiff mess. It didn't even sway as he walked on. Tedesco did not seem to care.

    Goffredo Tedesco returns after eight months of radio silence. Aldo Bellini finds more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    Turning to Tedesco, Aldo continued. He knew he was being brutal, he hated every second of it, and dreaded the next sentences he knew were coming. Nevertheless, it had to be said.

    “You want to stand here and talk about cleansing the Church? Then start with yourself. Tell them how you cried after sex. Tell them how you asked me to hear your confession and then kissed me before I could give you penance. Tell them how you said, ‘I don’t want to be saved if it means I have to stop wanting you.’ Go on. Say it. Tell them. I dare you.”

    A soulmate, by definition, was someone chosen for him by God, and whom he was chosen for in return. It signified love and respect, both of which Aldo never imagined having for Tedesco, or being received from him. He was confined to a soulmate who would never even dare try to love him.
