Summary
FREEZING BEACH – The icy wind whips at your face, pushing hair into it. It catches your coat and gets in under it, sending a fresh chill over you.
1. - Surely there’s an alternative?
2. - I know what I’m doing.
3. - Fuck this. [Go back inside.]YOU – Surely there’s an alternative?
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Medium: Failure] – You come up blank on alternative methods of coping with withdrawal symptoms. Maybe the cold is making it hard to think.
-Harry walks into the ocean to try deal with his problems, entirely missing the implications of this.

Summary
The world is going to end; you could get started early. Tip off the roof, splatter the ground in communist red, let the sunset hit your corpse like a bicentennial art piece to a bygone era that died when the revolution did. Maybe you should do it now.
Instead, you take a long, steadying drag, sprinkling cocaine for flavour over the tip as it burns. You don't fall off the roof. You still picture it.
You're starting to think you might be fucked, actually.
(a study in self-destruction; a study in Harrier du Bois)

Summary
ANCIENT REPTILIAN BRAIN – There's calm within this room. A peace that can only be found in familiarity. But where does this feeling come from? Something appeases the black void that lives deep in your soul—a man. But then it's only fear. Of hurting. Of loneliness.
Let the Disco out.

Summary
Words have never served them in moments like these. Harry has too many and Kim has too few. Harry never seems to run out; Kim can never find the right ones. They have talked and talked and talked, circling each other and their desk lamp for months, their orbits steadily decaying. They know what this is about. They have both known for a long while now. And there is something unearthly about the silence tonight. That Harry has not chosen to break it. That he only looks.

Summary
This is not the first time Kim has had to be careful. Not the first time he's deployed subterfuge when arranging an encounter with a man in a hotel room.
But this is different. Because Harry is an officer of the RCM. Because Kim has already been more careless, more public, with his emotions than he can really afford. Because this is the first time he's opened himself up to this kind of risk, capable of collapsing the foundations he’s built his life upon for twenty years.
Kim flattens down the tremor that passes through him at the thought. Makes an effort to recalibrate, to return himself to baseline.
Better not to think of it that way, he tells himself. Think of it, instead, as one of many such arranged encounters. One of many calculated risks you have taken in your life.
Set your expectations accordingly. Just enough relief, just enough connection to make the risk worthwhile. No more than that.

Summary
Kim is frustrated to admit that, when it comes down to it, what all this draws out in him is not exasperation, not really, but something protective. Almost warm, at moments.
He does not like this part of himself, the one that pulls toward the woundedness in others. This is why he no longer works with children.
It makes him worse at his job. It makes it harder to work the puzzle box of the case, and harder not to care what will happen after it finally clicks open.

Summary
"Please. Please, sir. Oh, god..." you whimper, writhing under his sole. Begging? For this? You've hit a new low, son.
Ignoring that thought is simple. This is not a new low. This is a very ordinary, garden-variety low, and Kim is nice enough to answer your plea.

Summary
LIMBIC SYSTEM – The sensation rises from deep within you, spreading like a rash all over the chunk of meat you like to call a *body*... Pierces your heart with its claws, squeezing it tight.
YOU – No, no, no, stop it, please, I cannot bear it!

Summary
When an oddly familiar murder victim shows up in Precinct 41's morgue, Detective Harry Du Bois is plunged back into his traumatic past. Still grappling with addiction and mental illness, Harry must unravel a mystery tied to the Fifteenth Indotribe and the dark events that tore them apart.
Accompanied by Kim Kitsuragi, Harry’s investigation leads to a sinister asylum where unethical pale experiments were once conducted on young patients like Harry and his friends. As more memories resurface, Harry resolves to confront the childhood abusers who made their lives hell.
With Kim’s help, Harry infiltrates St. Achille's Psychiatric Center, evading dangers both human and unearthly and putting his sanity and sobriety to the ultimate test in a tale of trauma, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds between outcasts.
---
The first chapter can be read as a standalone case fic.
The author has personal experience with the "scarier" types of mental illness and involuntary commitment, and will do their best to treat these difficult subjects with respect.
Also, harrykim fluff eventually! I promise.
