    Summary

    Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.

    In which Shepard doesn’t want to be found, and Garrus, of course, has other ideas.

    ────
    One polished pauldron bobs. “How does the Earth idiom go? No use beating a dead—” A long-suffering sigh. “What was it again?”

    “A dead horse. And yet, you’re here. Beating it.”

    Pot, kettle. She wishes he’d just fucking say it.

    Summary

    What would have happened if Kiryu had stayed on as the Fourth Chairman? Besides, Yumi survives here. And I'm sure you can imagine what that means...
    But Majima will also be around, continuing this strange relationship that Kiryu and he have... whatever that is.

    Basically, it's a *VERY* long fic, reimagining every scene, exploring their relationship in depth (from how it started to when they're already an established couple, with the typical couple problems).

     

    **Since this fic is quite long, I wanted to add more information in case someone doesn't want to waste their time. (This will be in the notes in the first chapter of the fic. It was too long and I couldn't add it here D:)

     

    *** The tag for "implied past rape/non-con": It's open to interpretation. Like in the game, I won't make it clear that it happened, but some people might read it that way, and others might read it as he was just tortured. Majima doesn't remember so just pick the version you prefer, but the tag will be there for those who can be triggered by the implication.
    Either way, Majima is traumatized and will have to deal with his trauma, so keep that in mind.

    Summary

    "Kiryu would have never used the word 'delicate' to describe Majima, but at that moment he swore that he was. Delicate like the cherry blossoms tattooed on his body, sharp and hard like the snakes, like a dagger. Like the unspoken question that lingered in his eye."

    Kiryu and Majima experience the development of a deeper bond between them amidst Majima's downfall as the patriarch of his family.

    Summary

    In these rare moments of quiet, when Kiryu was left on his own with nothing ahead and nothing behind, his mind always strayed to the same thought like an animal licking a wound.

    What was he doing?

    (Kiryu's accumulated a bit too much heat from the cops and is forced to skip town for a while. Luckily his caring superior Majima is around to help him pass the time.)
