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 They don’t think he’s cool for his silly smoking ritual or outdated dance moves.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.

"Someone's going to kill you one day, Cecil. And it will involve a mirror."
They come in twos. You come in twos. Kill your double, and become one. Kevin has some... unorthodox ideas about how to do that.

Summary
You smoke because it looks cool. You smoke once a day because it gives you an excuse to show off your incredible amount of restraint. Getting to show it off to Harry? Even better.
In which Kim puts his daily cigarette to good use.

Summary
Excerpted from the diary of Kim Kitsuragi:
"As I've said, I have a fascination with hopeless, complicated, broken men, and Harry was all that and more. The way the detective moved through the world had me transfixed before I even knew what was happening - he was like an automotive accident personified. There was something tragic in his very nature, but I couldn't help but stare at the mangled metal shape he wore stenciled to his face, the strange expression that sealed away everything he dared to feel. It was only a matter of time before we became entangled."
Somewhere between a journal and a memoir, this canon-compliant retrospective penned by Kim recounts his temporary partnership with Harry du Bois - and the feelings that resulted.

Harry works up to the courage to proposition Kim, a man he doesn't realise he's already dating.
(The second chapter is sexually explicit. Note that several sections of the first chapter will be more meaningful if you've read the two previous works in the series.)
