Summary
“Taking in consideration that we agreed to engage in a social activity together, forgoing other obligations, on what is widely considered an important day, even…” Heathcliff watches as she spins the tuning fork in her hand, then drags her pinky up the junction of the new part on the barrel, squinting at what he has to hope isn’t leftover damage. “Then it would be considered a date, wouldn’t it?”
The mug nearly slips from his hands.
-
In case of weapons breaking down under the holidays you might want to phone in a Workshop friend. At the risk of ending up stuck at work all night, and getting caught up in dangerous situations like "defining the relationship".

Summary
“Combat smoke connects to the centre of functionality directly, and so the influence can reach any body part, even missing ones.”
Heathcliff listens attentively, glancing between her and his tea, though his eyes land back in hers when he speaks again.
“Would it take long to try it out?”She explains it simply. If the feeling returns and there’s any kind of hardware problem, it’s going to shut down the motion chips and possibly fry his brain, as he’d put it, so first must come the maintenance. When that’s done they will start. It will hurt and it will hurt regardless. He does not sway.
-
Old friends, private maintenance session. It takes an expert engineer to know which buttons to push after all.

Summary
It’s still a relief when the woman finally looks away and finds the reservation in the list, faint blue eyes squinting at his name, the symbol of the Clan scribbled to the side.
“Ah,” she says. “She mentioned you.”-

Summary
Whenever he stepped through that oaken door, he knew that it was bound to appear, in some form. It had a face he’d never seen with his own eyes, a name he was not allowed to speak. It was useless to linger, when it would be time to move on soon, and the presence would never follow a step beyond the door.
But now he felt it.

Summary
He’s learned not to expect conversation once the robe drops. In the morning, before the port starts to wake up, there’s only the sound of the ocean, the call of the songbirds, so of course the siren listens.

Summary
“A’ight. Enough,” he said, and she hit the brakes. The pedals before the parking one this time, good job, Catherine. Was he finally going to tell her something nice? She turned around, quite hopeful, to find him staring ahead instead, honestly heartbreaking, though it was never unpleasant to get to see his profile, and then he started, “so we… we’re here for a reason.”
“Um.” That was sudden. Why was he so serious now? She hadn’t even broken anything. “Because you say I need my licence.”
“Of course you do. But no, not that.”Driving lessons in the Leeds outskirts.

Summary
Der Freischütz tends to be trigger happy with new people, and he kind of spent half of the session praying whatever form of Repression work that woman was doing by talking its ear off wouldn’t end in bloodshed. Would’ve been pretty messed up if he asked for assistance only to get a near-stranger killed, when Atziluth is always running out of agents to begin with, and she’s clearly a good asset.
Her name is Catherine and she is seriously weird. Though then, that’s why it could only be her.End of the workday in Facility X-394.

Summary
He thinks back on her words as the uncoiled it, how intense she made it sound —for tonight, these are my hands on you, everywhere you allow them, I will hold you— which he laughed at, at first, but now it feels thrilling to think of, and picture her behind him, keeping his whole body down with just those two fingers.
“Too tight anywhere?”
“No.”Despite what it may seem, this work has not been sponsored by H Corp.

Summary
At least Demian had logged on while she cleaned up after dinner, having just finished his script on gnostic cosmology, and they’d filled a good part of the evening discussing it. It had kept her perfectly distracted.
Until he went and ruined it, obviously.maxdemian19 [00:37 AM] - How would you describe romantic attraction, in your experience?

Summary
Nobody accosts a stranger in Association uniform, no matter how exhausted he looks or how terrible his headache is, which is a real blessing after a day of extra shifts: he parts with Rodya at the streetlight, makes the last turn alone, then he’s up the stairs and at the front door, and there’s some peace. Or is there?

Summary
There had always been something in those rooms, a sense of stillness that lingered by each door, each window. If a haunting could be nothing more than a feeling, the shape of something that had been there, then maybe it was fair to say it was a ghost.
