    Summary

    God, he loves Aziraphale. It’s the only thing he’ll ever be sure of. And he is so, so tired.
    Would it really be so bad to give up just a little piece of himself (another one)? To make Aziraphale happy (again)?
    There’s a box somewhere, deep within him, rotten and black and full of his pain and secrets. He pulls it out now, dusts it off, and gently lays the thought Aziraphale will never understand the real me within it. Then he bangs it shut, does up the locks, and lets it sink to the bottom. Enough.

    Or: Crowley makes a very different decision, and they communicate about it even less.

    Summary

    Softly, he smoothes the edges of the dark circles that ever linger under Kim’s eyes. The simple motion aches with a level of casual intimacy that sets Kim’s teeth on edge. A feral dog being offered a collar with a name he cannot read.

    “Let me go,” Kim whispers.

    This isn’t how these things are supposed to go at all. Men like Harrier Du Bois either fuck him (with a suspicious amount of interest) or they don’t (with a blatant but familiar level of distaste). They don’t mean it when they compliment him. They don’t think he’s cool for his silly smoking ritual or outdated dance moves. They don’t laugh when they kiss him just because they’re happy to be with him.

    They don’t hold him like he’s something precious.

    Kim faces his emotional repression. Harry tries to help.

But when the woman mysteriously reappears in Seol, the two are volunteered by the Moralintern to make an unprecedented trip to the Isola amidst a fraught political climate.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant loosely grips the wheel of his Kineema in one hand, his attention focused on the long, empty road before you. His other arm is slung casually out the open window as he savors the last vestiges of summer’s heat before Revachol settles into a bitter fall.

    EMPATHY - The last time he traveled this way was six months ago. It is as though nothing has changed.

    INLAND EMPIRE - Nothing *has* changed, and nothing ever will. Martinaise is a land out of time - even as the seasons pass, fundamentally it will never be any more or less than it is right now.

    VOLITION - Even so, it is enough.

    -

    Lieutenant double-yefreitor Harry Du Bois and Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi have been sent back to Martinaise, but after an incident with a pale latitude compressor leaves them stranded inside their own minds, a long journey down memory lane is their only choice for salvation - and redemption.

    Summary

    Rationale insists upon seeing the world as a puzzle, and insists even more that the puzzle not be a mess.
    Compassion is your tender heart, slick with blood.
    Your inner Torque Dork is what enables you to know and understand all the precious machines in your life.
    Houtu is when you’re in a chase, weaving through backroads and alleys, a lone cell racing through the veins and arteries of the Genius Loci.

    All the little things that make you, you.
