    In the aftermath of Martinaise, Kim grapples with the incursion of Harry into his life and his own shifting assumptions about reality while Harry struggles with the fallout of addiction.

    Summary

    This doesn’t bode well, you think. You’ve deliberately avoided all manner of hunches and fedoras in your career, but you know when a bad day is ahead of you.

    The woman beside you must sense it as well because she keeps sending you friendly, vaguely apologetic smiles. As if she’s somehow to blame for the indifference of the world to your individual affairs. Or RCM affairs. Or anyone’s.

    Summary

    Klaasje looks lost in thought, gazing out over the horizon with a sort of sad expression on her face. Ruby desperately wants to know what she’s thinking about, but doubts she’ll actually tell Ruby the truth. Klaasje has barely told her anything about herself as it is. Ruby doesn’t think Klaasje is even her real name. No, she knows it isn’t. That’s okay, everyone is running from something. It’s selfish of her to want to know more.

    Summary

    "'Most' historical events? Which ones do you remember?"

    Harry counted on one hand: "Sputnik 1, the Alamo, women's suffrage, and disco."

    "Well, four out of five isn't so bad." There was laughter in the pilot's eyes. "You're only missing the Breach, the beginning and end of all things."

    Summary

    SOLA, THE ANTI-INNOCENCE - Her silver, disco-dancer jumpsuit glints blindingly. “I know you resent me, for keeping what I know from you. To be the anti-innocence isn’t *flattery* from the masses.” Her smile is slight and wry, thin lipped. “Oh, I’m sure you wish I were your Dolores Dei, sweetheart. Your past and your future, to open the pale to Elysium. Sing the magpie song. But I wasn’t, and we both knew I would never be. The future wasn’t mine to give.”

    LEVERAGE - This is it. She’s done: speech over, rule over, game over. The people are held captive by the crinkle at the corners of her eyes and the sharp cut of blond hair against her thin back, the humanity behind her distance. They couldn’t protest to her resignation if they *tried.*

    PARAPHRENIA [Godly: Success] - You know, I don't think Sola was blond.

    -

    Ruby wakes up in an old Dolorian church and spends a few days with its inhabitants, steeling herself to leave.

    Summary

    (Written from Kim's POV / you're Kim)

    Around lunchtime is when you're most likely to catch a glimpse of him.
    *~ The gym teacher.~*
    You know it's ridiculous to harbor some silly crush at your age- and for a man you've barely said a word to- but you have no intentions of acting on it. All you'll ever do is walk through here and watch him for the couple of seconds you can manage without looking like a creep. It really is just harmless fun.
    Then you run into him at the school after dark and make him drop his... vibrator?

    Summary

    "Friends, right?"

    Ruby is on the run, thanks to Klaasje- someone she considered a friend, at least. Klaasje is on the run, from the Moralintern and herself. A chance meeting at a bar offers some opportunity for closure.

    Summary

    She sighs again, sounding like birdsong. No, not quite. That’s the kind of thing Tommy would say. If he were in your position, he’d write about Klaasje like she’s an angel. He’d say she’s tall, graceful, and delicate. But you know her, really know her, better than anyone else in Martinaise knows her — better than any of the Hardie Boys, better than that piece of shit. You’d write her as what she is: a monster.

    Summary

    You raise your pistol but you are too late. Harry stumbles back, the bullet flying past you as a deep sangria rose grows out of the exit wound on his right shoulder. It grows more and more with each heaving breath Harry takes. He's been shot.

    He's been shot.

    Summary

    The problem is that Klaasje is the exact opposite of Ruby’s type. Ruby’s always liked women with big voices and bigger tits; women who see her and zero in on her and want to be fucked by her. Ruby’s liked that power since she was a teenager; it makes life interesting. Klaasje wears makeup but she does it poorly, a performance on purpose. She dashes blue mascara through her eyelashes and blue eyeshadow into the sockets of her eyes, accentuating the bags underneath. It isn’t that Klaasje doesn’t have sex appeal; she clearly does. But she’s out of control and Ruby likes women who know what they want.

    Summary

    ‘Does this mean I'm a coward?’

    Kim's eyebrows rise. ‘It takes much more bravery to face violence without a gun—or without using it, officer. It's not the brave ones who shoot the most.’

     

    I'm not a dumbfuck. I'm a real, respectable police officer.

     

    Kim considers the single dot.

    ‘Either you're the type to put the burden on your partner, or you're brilliant enough to navigate your way out of very tight spots.’

    Harris almost asks, Which do you think I am? He almost says, I don't want to kill anyone. But I don't want to make you do it either.

    Instead, he says, sotto voce, ‘I'll have to aim for brilliant, then.’

    *

    A man wakes up in a trashed hotel room with no recollection of who he is, how he got there and whether he's responsible for the massive bender he's coming down from.

    He's given a name (Lieutenant Harris Du Bois), an occupation (investigating a murder) and a partner (Kim Kitsuragi).

    He finds that, perhaps, this is all that he needs.

    Trigger warnings for the whole fic will be included at the beginning of Chapter 1. You may choose to skip them altogether if you wish.

    Summary

    “… is expected to rise by two points by tomorrow morning. That’s it for economics. In other news, radio personalities Harmon Gates and Heo Si-yeon, known for their controversial talk show ‘Beyond the Pale’ on Radio Free Revachol, were found dead yesterday in their downtown Jamrock studio. The RCM are quoted as saying that officers are investigating the case. No word as of yet if they are suspecting foul play, but Channel Nine will be following this case with interest. Now: sports. The Villalobos all-female rugby team Las Halcones won big yesterday against…”
