Summary
"You fucking rodeo clown American prick!" Jamie shouts. "This is bullshit!"
He crosses the room and kicks Ted's suitcases, which tumble over like dominoes. Ted glances over and seems startled, but not all that scared.
"Well, heck," he laughs. "I'm starting to think there might be a ghost in here."

Summary
Hungry for companionship, Kim found an equally as lonely homo-sexual by the name of Thomas, living not too far from his humble little apartment in the GRIH. He too had a steady job, better paying than Kim’s, working not with the great big machines of the harbour that Kim held such fascination for but in coordinating hours and shipments. He liked Kim, but not too much, and never demanded what he couldn’t give. He had no eccentricities, no strange hobbies, and was perfectly acceptable company to discuss radio programs with, to introduce friends to with his sharp suit and perfectly honed small-talk, and occasionally went with Kim for dinner in which he reliably ordered steak and potatoes without horseradish. In short, he was perfect.
Two years later, Kim stood in the entryway of hostel in a miserable little town and watched in horrified fascination as a man in mustard-yellow trousers and the most hideous tie he’s ever seen staggered down the stairs, smelling of piss and spirits, and declared himself Raphael Ambrosius Costeau.After giving up on true love, Kim finds it again in an unlikely place -- all he has to do is let it in.

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a professional musician, not a detective. So when the orchestra conductor is arrested in the middle of a concert, he wants nothing more than to stay out of it. Especially once Anakin Skywalker starts snooping around, convinced Obi-Wan is involved—he always knew trumpet players were up to no good.
Somehow, Obi-Wan finds himself in the midst of it all: a maybe-friendship with Anakin. A maybe-romance with Cody. And the possibility that perhaps life can be more than just getting by.
But life is also unpredictable. And so Obi-Wan, Anakin—and their secrets—might be more connected than they realize.
And the only ones who can really keep their secrets—are the dead.
(or: the orchestra au. music, a mystery, and lots of found family.)

Summary
Fourteen years after the end of the Dominion War, Bajor and Cardassia are finally poised to enter the United Federation of Planets, together. But when Castellan Garak and Military Minister Kira find the body of Julian Bashir—with a heavily encrypted datarod containing the last fifty years of covert operations by Section 31 in his hand—on the eve of the treaty signing on Deep Space Nine, negotiations fall apart.
There is some nuance to it, of course, but what is nuance when your friend’s dead body has been found in a stasis container in Cargo Bay Four?
Or, Julian dies in the name of service to the Alpha Quadrant, but does a poor job staying dead. It does get his friends back together in one place, though.

Summary
“What I have been trying to ask, is —" Edgeworth breaks off, takes a deep breath, and then says, as slowly and as clearly as if he's reading his own death warrant: "Would you like to have a drink with me."
Phoenix stares at him. Edgeworth stares back, face red and growing redder with each passing second.
“Uh,” Phoenix says. "Sure?"
—
Edgeworth asks Phoenix out on a date. Phoenix doesn’t realize. But hey — to be wise and in love exceeds man’s might…right?

Summary
Three years into his role as Captain of notorious pirate ship The Defence, Phoenix Wright has surrounded himself with a crew he would lay down his life to protect; those without a home, without a family, without a hope, are all welcome aboard his ship.
The life Phoenix now leads, one of freedom and joy, is everything he could have asked for, more than he ever thought he’d be allowed to have after he escaped the hangman’s noose seven years ago.
But there’s a traitor aboard his ship, and Fate has decreed he shall pay a high price for his foolishness, in the form of a face Phoenix never thought he’d see again.

It hurts. It hurts that SHIELD thinks it owns his death as much as it already owns his life. It hurts that Nick can walk away from his partner bleeding on the ground, can tell the Avengers he’s dead as if Phil meant no more to him than any other agent.
As if Phil meant less to him than any other agent.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
29 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.
It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.
And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

Summary
Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.
A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.
