    Summary

    They play it.

    Then they play it again.

    The recording crackles with static, like the signal was barely strong enough to push through.  It’s not just the white noise of a bad connection in the background.  There’s the sound of something groaning, like metal that wants to give way to gravity.  Something else that makes Jesse think of smoke passing through ventilation.  

    Once, just before the audio cuts off, Jesse would swear he hears laughter.

    Summary

    Gorou sighs, resigned. “That Hina-san?” he says. “It’s me. She’s me.” 
    Itto laughs his stupid laugh. “Okay,” he says, chortling.
    “I’m not joking,” Gorou says.
    Itto laughs again. But then he meets Gorou’s eyes, and abruptly stops laughing. “Gods,” he says. “You’re serious?”

    love in the time of advice columns.

    Summary

    Hanzo Shimada is an expatriate student of the Fine Arts, attending college in what he assumes to be a reasonably sedate corner of the American southwest. Jesse McCree is an occasionally leather-clad NPS ranger whose duties extend somewhat further than shooing lost tourists back onto the clearly marked hiking trails. Something weird is going on in the desert south of Santa Fe and their lives unexpectedly come together in the middle of it.
