Summary
Ishmael’s a rookie officer in a city without order, riddled with crime. She doesn’t even want to be here, but it’s her job, her duty. What kind of maniac would think about cleaning up this place?
Rodion is running for District Attorney in a city without justice, courtrooms riddled with corruption and injustice.It’s insane, trying to stick to the law in The City of all places. What kind of person would even try to wring out justice in this place?
Hong Lu is the rich kid upstairs, doing absolutely nothing as he watches the dirt downstairs. It’s pointless anyway, people in this City are born to die. But yet, something inside him urges him to action, it’s hard to ignore the night cries. But how can he do anything hopeful in a city without hope? He needs something more than a person….
TLDR; Ishmael is Officer Gordon, Rodion is Assistant District Attorney, and Hong Lu is The Batman.

Summary
Ishmael's a low-grade Fixer in a dead-end startup office known as the Jade Ring. When her rival gets the promotion to Office Second that she'd been gunning for, Ishmael doesn't know how to handle it. Sure, they call a truce, but who knows how long that could last?
Heathcliff never expected to be the Office Second. Having power over his little family is a strange feeling, but he's determined to do right by the Office. He just needs to stay focused, but Ishmael seems to be determined to distract him.
Hong Lu doesn't care about gender dysphoria. He has a job and isn't a person. With two Maestros and a Capo showing particular interest in the town where the Jade Ring is stationed, there's a wonderful show to be made. That's all he has to do. Observe. Play the game. Don't think about it.
Ryoshu's trying to raise her daughter while also dismantling as much of the Fingers' influence as possible, and she's taking Hong Lu along for the ride. If it results in putting her on estrogen in the process, all the better.
This fic is a somewhat canon-compliant slowburn romance designed for a mature audience and assumes you are caught up in Limbus Company.
