    Summary

    Himeko and Kafka had actually started looking into various ways to have a child together almost 2 years ago, and after heavily considering various options, everything from IVF to a sperm donor, they eventually settled on adoption, deciding it would be the best option for starting their family together.

    And now, after 11 long months of waiting, and going through the whole process of contacting an agency, completing a home study, submitting the application, waiting to be selected, and finally, finally meeting her, they were driving to the adoption center for the last time.

    Or:

    Kafka and Himeko finalize the adoption of their new 6 year old daughter Stelle, and experience the joys and pains of parenthood in their domestic married life. (Kafhime week day 7: Family, at last)

    Summary

    “Do you…need something else?” She finally asks, quirking an eyebrow as she pours the coffee in the cup.

    “Oh no,” Kafka replies with a shake of her head, and she rests her chin in her hands and her elbows on the counter, looking up at Himeko. “Just watching. Don't mind me.”

    Or:

    When a mysterious customer starts regularly showing up at the 24 hour cafe she works at every night like clockwork, Himeko tries to befriend her and discover the cause for her nightly visits.

    Summary

    It's a child—no less than six or seven years old. Her stark grey hair sticks out in comparison to Kafka's purple. Hand in Kafka's, she quietly scurries along with the woman until they reach the counter.

    Just what was Kafka up to?

    Her questions are soon answered when Kafka, now in front of the Barista, clears her throat—as though unnerved at the absence of Himeko's response.

    “Yeesh, tough crowd today, huh?” Kafka hums, leaning in closer towards Himeko. “Don't worry, I like when they play hard to get. It's a fun challenge.”

    Himeko furrows her brows, a frown beginning to form. “Have you resorted to kidnapping children in your attempts to woo me?”

    -OR-

    Kafka's incessant charm and embarrassing pickup lines don't seem to be working on Himeko. Luckily, Kafka has another trick up her sleeve—bringing her daughter, Stelle, to Himeko's café.

    Summary

    Caelus and Stelle are having a petty online argument. Their banter escalates until their parents notice and start “coaching” their kids on how to roast better. Eventually, they get drawn into the verbal sparring themselves, realizing they’re not dealing with kids anymore but with each other.

    Summary

    “Damn it.” Karlach grits her teeth. “Look, Blade, Mister Frontiers, whatever the Hells your name is—I didn’t ask to be here. If my life had gone a bit differently, better, I’d still be walking the streets of the Gate.”

    And there she sees it: a small, sudden thing, the slimmest shaft of surprise falling over his face like a stray sunbeam. Hesitation.

    Thing is, Karlach can’t really remember what such things as sunbeams and blue skies look like anymore. Maybe it’s just stupid, false hope. Or maybe it’s something real.

    Wyll and Karlach's first meeting, in another world.
