Summary
A few days before he is due to return to work after the events of Martinaise, Harry Du Bois receives an unexpected offer to travel to Seol cité for a week to assist in research of the Pale. Skeptical at first, he is convinced by his captain's approval and the news that the researchers became interested in him after reading the article on him and the Insulindian Phasmid. Harry is even more excited when he manages to convince lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi, whose transfer schedule happens to match up with the trip, to go to the city with him.
Seol cité at first feels alien but hospitable. But soon uncomfortable histories, mistranslations, and Seol's own political unrest begin to unravel the detectives' lives. Will this trip, uncomplicated at first glance, kick into gear events that will change not only their relationship but the course of history of the city they left behind?
A dual-language fic about belief, love, and fear.

Summary
To the left of her is a hard-shell suitcase. Which is, well, it’s new. Somehow it has materialised, the handle covered by her palm. But her face seems to say, this has always been here. Haven’t you ever noticed it? That, and…a sort of weariness. Her eyes look softer. A rare wrinkle, one of the few you’ve given her, forms a crease around her left one.
“You look tired, sweetheart. You should spend more time sleeping and less time thinking of me.”

Obligatory hot springs episode by randomisedmongoose for Sommerrev

Summary
"... a what?"
"A spa day! Or rather, a day and a night, as it were."
An awkward silence spread through the main office of the 41st precinct. Kim stared back at Trant's beaming face, and at the handful of crisp, neatly folded leaflets he was holding up. The rest of the C-wing was was staring at him as well, most of them from across reports containing more or less horrific tales of murder and human misery. Kim gave them a scrutinising glance. Yes, Mack was most definitely holding an evidence bag with what looked like human hair in it.
Precinct 41 gets to go to an upscale spa. It has cucumbers.

Summary
If the cop is bothered by Tetsu glancing at him from time to time, his posture doesn’t show it. Back straight, face neutral, arms clasped behind him. In fact, he doesn’t look at Tetsu at all.

"No."
"No?"
"It's Kim. End of discussion."
Your husband has the audacity to scoff. Stubborn oaf. "You tell me that we need to work together on this decision and come to an agreement, until I have my objections. We can't keep belaboring this point-"
"I am not, you are ." The words are laced with steel, you need them to be - punctuating the sentence with the tilt of your head and the quirk of your brow. You are unflappable, you will match his stubbornness tenfold while digging your heels into the floor for as long as it takes for your husband to stop fucking arguing for once and –
Kim chooses to kick your bladder now.

Summary
From where he’s slumped on the couch, everything but Leslie is swimming. The walk back and the food and water sitting in his gut helped him sober up, but he doesn’t even know what he’s saying when he blurts out: “You’re handsome.”
“Thanks.” She raises her brow at him, gives him a little smirk. He was right. It’s very handsome. “You into girls too, kid?”
“No. Are you into boys?”
“No.” She raps her knuckles against the side of his knee. “But if you were, I was planning on letting you down easy.”
“I’m not into girls.” He squints at her, trying to think of why her looks had struck him. It dawns on him, all at once. “I’m not into you. I’m just jealous. I’d like to be handsome.”

Summary
The Cryptozoological Society’s gala is, technically, an RCM assignment. It is also an excuse for Harry and Kim to go party on the precinct’s dime.
“We are not partying, detective. We’re representing the RCM at a community event.” Kim’s shiny dress shoes squeak quietly against the kineema’s pedals as he drives. His black suit jacket sways on a hanger from the roof handhold in the back seat.
“Well, I don’t remember anyone saying I couldn’t represent the precinct and flex my disco moves at this ‘community event’.” Harry shoots Kim with a singular finger gun.
---
The one where Kim is subjected to the mortifying ordeal of being known, Harry tries to get a handle on that deifying thing he tends to do to people, the Insulindian Phasmid has all the answers, and Gary the Cryptofascist gets what he deserves.

Summary
He likes Harry right away. Really likes him. He’s fun. He’s smart. He’s surprising. He’s sweet. He’s cool. Kim’s old enough to stop questioning why he likes who he likes. That there’s any feeling left in him is something to be grateful for.

“你说什么？”
哈里朝水池里吐了一口蓝色的牙膏沫：“听上去她像是在召唤你。”
“像童话故事里的女巫那样？”
“像在叫一只流浪猫，懂我意思吧。”哈里挥动着牙刷，“像是每天食物引诱，直到流浪猫渐渐习惯有人类在身边活动那样。或许她只是想跟你交个朋友。”

Summary
“But I don’t even know your name.”
“Yes, you do.” Kim finds the whole situation very funny now. He gently pulls his hand out from Harry’s grip. Then pops two sterile gloves on. Snap. “Come on. Think, Harry.” He looks at Harry patiently. This Harry is worryingly soft at the edges. A preferable twin to the man who stumbled drunk down the stairs that first day in the Whirling. Sweet.
Harry gives him a lost look. “I’ve no idea. I feel like I know everything about you but that.”

Summary
The Emperor’s Seal – the divine symbol of the Emperor in Seol – had been missing for ten centuries. Now it's back, and leaving a trail of bodies in its wake all through Jamrock. Everyone who touches it is murdered--brutally. It's Harry and Kim's job to find this priceless artifact, the prize of literally every criminally minded citizen in Jamrock, avoid the shadowy syndicate, avoid getting shot in the head, and most of all avoid aggravating the delicate political situation between the isolas. Great. Sounds sooo easy.
