Summary
"Suddenly, the light is warm and bright, yellow like the sun even within the water. Kim looks up. His eyes widen as his face is illuminated. And from somewhere above him, a voice calls down—deep, resonant, rattling Kim’s bones. He knows even before he comprehends the words that the voice speaks the truth. So he listens, with bated breath, with beating heart and light eyes as the voice speaks the final and ultimate truth:
YOU HAVE TO FUCK HARRY DU BOIS."
Kim decides he has to have sex with Harry.

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 They don’t think he’s cool for his silly smoking ritual or outdated dance moves.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

Summary
It is dark. The sun had set hours ago, leaving only the bright end of the lieutenant’s cigarette in its wake. You finished your own smoke already, having sucked it down to the quick almost immediately.
HALF LIGHT: You do that to everything. Consume it, destroy it, leave nothing after.
VOLITION: Snap out of it.

Summary
His thumb traces slow circles around the nub of bone in your wrist.
“Kim?"
He pulls his hand back. “I’m sorry, I’ve been drinking.” He smiles. His pupils are dilated and the warmth coming off of him is feverish and so tempting.

Summary
PROPHETIC ESPLANADE – It is not yet the dead of night, but it is dark, dark enough that the few street lights kept on by the Union this far out (for safety reasons, of course, for all the good that it does) are the only thing keeping the endless black at bay. That, and the single flashlight between the two of you: the RCM's finest, ready for anything. The full force of the People's Militia poking around the spindly legs of an abandoned boardwalk. With one single flashlight.

Summary
Somebody has been spiking drinks along Boogie Street in an attempt to make quick Reál by mugging their unconscious victims. However, when a batch of drugs turns sour and causes three casualties, it's up to two of the 41st's most *geriatric* Detectives to hit the strip *undercover*.
One: HARRY DU BOIS; newly sober and *itching* to bust moves a good two decades out of date.
Two: KIM KITSURAGI; self-proclaimed 'spoiled sport' and more cop than man.Oh, and there's an extra spanner in the works. The Detectives seem to have had a *COLOSSAL* falling out two days prior that has rendered them... Not on the best of terms. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Of course these weren't dates. Kim was just being efficient, or requesting assistance when needed, or helping Harry reacquaint himself with certain basic aspects of human existence. Dates were purposefully planned affairs that involved things like flowers, a fancy meal, maybe a kiss goodnight—and perhaps most importantly—an understanding from both parties that they were on a date.
Too bad nobody thought to tell Harry that.
or
5 times Harry thought he and Kim were on a date, and the 1 time Kim took him out on a date for real.

autumn of '60 and the end of the world by pressuretoparty

Summary
A simple, silver ring lies in the middle of Kim's palm. And Harry, his heart on his sleeve, staring, boring holes right into the center of Kim's face, reading everything he's feeling.
"So uh," Harry laughs, scratching his head. "Should I get down on one knee now or?"
(Autumn of '60. The world is ending maybe, Revachol is dying definitely, everything is finally going to shit, and Kim and Harry have been alive for a little too long.)

Summary
A lot of men are tall. A lot of men are boxy. A lot of men have blue eyes and wrinkles. A lot of men are brunettes starting to gray. A lot of men are in their mid-40s. There are simply a lot of men out there.
So it seems a little cruel and unfair that Greg's come across this specific one, considering the circumstances.Bookmarked by astervenus

Summary
When Tom's three am alarm goes off and he hears Greg's pitiful whine from somewhere in the dark, he becomes instantly aware that this is going to be a long day. He switches the bedside light on, which bathes Greg's sleepy face in soft, yellow light. Greg has his eyes closed, but his face is wrinkled like an oyster receding from the spritz of lemon.
"Get up chucklefuck," Tom says, swinging the duvet back, "we've got a To Do list longer than a fucking Leonard Cohen song and if we're late, our contact will disappear into the woods, forcing me to have to put a muzzle on you, and have you scramble around in the undergrowth looking for truffles."

Summary
After a classic Waystar Two night out Tom finds himself in particularly tender and giddy mood, reaching his hand out to Shiv in a light hearted attempt to dance away their recent argument. Unfortunately, when she accepts the hand, he blindly puts on a sad ass ukulele cover of Hey Ya! sent to him by Greg.
