    Summary

    Probationary Constable Peter Grant met me for the first time when I walked up to him by the portico of the Actors' Church on a freezing winter night and said, "Hello. What are you up to?" However, I first met Detective Sergeant Peter Grant when he jogged up to my doorstep on a mild autumn afternoon and said, "There you are, sir. It is you, isn't it?"

    Summary

    It should have felt more awkward, maybe, standing this close to Nightingale in public, the two of us staring into each other’s eyes--but all I could feel was that same bone-deep relief I had when I’d heard the Jag approaching--I was still alive, somehow, and Nightingale was here. (Future-fic.)

    Summary

    PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Challenging: Success] – Then it clicks. Here's something about Kim you have never really paid much attention to: His *gloves*.
     
    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Medium: Success] – What? We think about them all the time! Do all those fantasies I've brewed up about slipping your fingers into them not mean anything to you people? Did you not even listen?!

    LOGIC [Easy: Success] – No, he means something beyond how nice Kim looks in them, and how much you would like to sensually remove them.

    PERCEPTION (SIGHT) – Yes. It's easy to be distracted by how nice he looks wearing them, which is why you've only now just noticed that you've *never* seen him without them.

     

    (or: Harry tries to cope with a growing crush on his partner in the only way he knows how.)

    Summary

    Problem:

    Out on a lake in Central Jamrock that was formed by a meteorite strike, a little ship has been circling for years, searching the lakebed for something. This is its impossible, maybe even eternal task. Its helm stands empty. It can't move on, to open seas and open skies, until it finds what it lacks. It has to try, and keep trying. It's running out of time.

    Summary

    NORTH COURON PUBLIC ACCESS WATERFRONT - Stop me if you've heard this one: Two cops walk onto a beach in the middle of April. They've only known each other for a few weeks. One of them has only known *anything* for a few weeks, and swimming isn't on that list. He's wearing a ridiculous, 20-year-old bathing suit, and the city around him is teetering on the edge of warm spring bloodshed. It will never again be the same as it is now. He builds a sandcastle.

    Summary

    The back of the thin, cheaply bound paperback reads: “As a real life officer for the RCM I have drawn on my real life experience and love of the Dick Mullen novel franchise to put together this riveting ensemble of raunchy case files. Each one is more mysterious and sexy than the last.” There is a small square photo of a man with insane facial hair, winking and pointing two finger guns directly at the camera, beneath which reads a caption “RAC- novelist”

    Summary

    The lieutenant admits he hasn’t been smoking much lately. He stopped smoking out of boredom, and now not smoking is causing him boredom. You offer to break his streak with him. 

    He nods. “Mm. I would like that.”

    While you speak, you notice Kim idly rotating the puck of pyrholidon in his gloved hand, admiring the deep purple color. 

    “Have you ever tried pyrholidon?”

    Summary

    YOU – “I didn’t know you liked candy, Kim.”

    KIM - He blinks, a little surprised you noticed.

    EMPATHY [Challenging: Success] - He didn’t *want* you to notice. That’s why he popped it in while you were in the bathroom.

    KIM - He clears his throat. “Khm. I heard it helps with the cravings. To have something else to do with your mouth.”

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Medium: Success] – Oh, you can think of something for him to do with his mouth.

     

    It's been three weeks since the case in Martinaise, and Harry is struggling to stay sober. Kim offers to give up smoking to help, but it's hard for both of them; luckily, they have each other's company.

    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

    An officer of the RCM continues his self-immolation with cheap spirits while blaring disco music, thrashing apart his room in a fit of rage. He grabs his green snakeskin shoe and hurls it through the window, a primal need satisfied with the sharp crack of breaking glass. The cold night air rushes through the hole in the window, fluttering his sweat-damp clothes.

     

     

    "I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore!" He howls at the wind like it will hear and understand him. He sobs and screams into the night, haunted by a torment he can't name, only run from.

     

    He blacks out soon after, clutching a bottle of Commodore Red to his chest.
