    Summary

    Kim squints at Harry while processing this information. “Okay,” he says. “That actually does explain some things about your… dynamic. So, you two were intimate? This wasn’t a, khm… unrequited situation?"

    “On which end would you expect it to be unrequited, Kim?” Harry says, offended.

    Summary

    On devotion, religion, and love. Harry and Kim solve a case, watch movies, and go to church. Among other things.

    PERCEPTION: The stained glass behind the altar and to the right - lit with a thousand suns glimmering and shining -

    INLAND EMPIRE: It’s him.

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He’s come for you.

    PERCEPTION: Lit from behind, from within, from all around, clothed in orange and light, his head bent down towards you - reaching out with one hand, the other behind his back -

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Always holding himself back, always helpless but to reach out.

    PERCEPTION: His eyes blind with light, his lungs aglow, a halo, halo -

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Saint Kim Kitsuragi.

    Summary

    Harry loves Kim's apartment. It's perfect.

    Except there's only one shower.

    Kim’s showers are efficient, usually five minutes or less, except -

    VISUAL CALCULUS: Except sometimes they’re not.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You know what he’s doing in there!

    INLAND EMPIRE: You do.

     

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: You’re both men, are you not? Men in your early forties, but that’s nothing - and twice a week, Kim takes longer than usual in the shower.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Fifteen minutes. Usually in the mornings, before you drag yourself off your couch.

    DRAMA: He likes the plausible deniability. You’re not up yet, he doesn’t have to feel guilty.

    INLAND EMPIRE: Sometimes, though, he does it at night. One night - the dog days of summer, he can’t sleep, no one in the entire city is sleeping, if the irritability of the precinct, the circles under everyone’s eyes, and the crime rate is to be believed - he gets up and goes into the bathroom. You’re almost asleep, drifting, but wake to Kim’s bare feet padding through from bedroom to bathroom.

    PERCEPTION: You hear the groan of pipes, the sound of water hitting the tub. The pull of the shower curtain.

    Summary

    “I know this is difficult. I know you do not like this. But you are starving yourself, Thomas, and God would not see you starved. I would not see you starved.”

    Thomas wonders what it says about him that one of those means more than the other— and what it means that this does not bother him as it should, this blasphemous thought, this sacrilegious reprioritization.

    “I do not wish to argue with you, my dear Vincent,” Thomas says, voice quiet. “Your concern is kind, but— I am afraid this is only how I am.”

    Vincent squeezes his hands.

    “You are not your punishments,” Vincent tells him, firm, warm, insistent. “You are not your denial. You are not your sacrifice, Thomas, nor your hunger. You are not your starvation.” His hands shake Thomas’s, a rattle to keep his attention. “You are Thomas. You are human, and you are starving, and you should not be.”

    Summary

    As Bilbo sat smoking in his empty hobbit hole, he couldn’t help but wonder – when did his life become so boring? Or better yet – when did his old life stop being enough?

    He suspected the answer to that question lay somewhere around the time when he had refused Thorin Oakenshield’s offer of marriage.

    Summary

    In the years since Bilbo left Erebor, he has lost his respectability, gained a nephew, and gotten on with life at Bag End.

    He'd left aside adventure for the comforts and peace of his little Hobbit hole, and for the love of a child who needed him. Though perhaps, adventures can yet find him.

    Summary

    "Bilbo never bothers denying that he is a slight, little bit, probably infatuated with Thorin. It’s not something that bothers him. Really. He’s pretty sure that everyone very likely has a little flutter in their chest for the dwarf. He’s something grand and unattainable.

    And it’s really much safer if it stays that way."

    Summary

    “Am I mistaken or are you banging the Vault dweller?” Piper whispered harshly, one hand suddenly having seized his sleeve.

    He startled and glanced back to her involuntarily. “What? No!”

    “Coulda fooled me!"

    Summary

    The deal with Rouge was simple. All Shadow had to do was go with her to five parties, and she would purchase him a brand-new motorcycle to replace the one he had wrecked on a mission.

    Somehow finding himself trapped alone with Sonic at all five of these parties, however, was never a part of the plan.

    [AKA, five times Shadow wound up alone with Sonic at a party, and the one time they wound up alone with no party.]
