    Summary

    “Kim,” you say, and he blinks at you in the middle of putting out his hand. “There’s something fucked up going on.”

    “You must be from the 41st. I’m Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi—though you seem to know that already.” He seems tense, for some reason—and his hand is still out. “I’m afraid I wasn’t told who you are.”

    “It’s me, Harry! Kim, don’t you remember me? Fuck, there’s something really wrong happening.”

    “If you’re referring to the dead body that has been hanging from a tree for seven days—then yes, I agree. It is pretty wrong.” Kim is looking at you with his mouth slightly pursed. There’s no recognition in his eyes—he looks at you like you’re a stranger.

    “This can’t be happening." Kim clears his throat.

    “You are clearly going through… something. But I would appreciate it if we could focus on the case for the moment.”

    “Oh my god,” you say. “We did it already, Kim, but for some reason I’m the only one who remembers! This is some—some cosmic joke from the universe, I’ll tell you that.”

    “Okay,” Kim says, slowly. “I’m going to give you a moment while I talk to the manager. You’re going to sit down and sort out whatever it is you’re doing. And then we’re going to take down that corpse.”

    Summary

    "No, it's fine," Julian said automatically. "But, Garak, is everything all right?"

    "Captain Sisko wanted to see me," Garak said—which was so conspicuous a refusal to answer the question Julian had asked that it almost didn't qualify as an evasion. He pulled out the chair opposite Julian, and sat.

    "Captain Sisko? Why?"

    "Well, apparently," Garak said, "Cardassia has lodged a formal request with the Federation for my extradition."

    (Or: Garak has a problem. Julian marries him to fix it. Except that means Julian also has a problem, albeit of a very different kind.)

    Summary

    He knows he's afraid, and sometimes it doesn't mean anything at all and he can go about his days without even thinking about it. Sometimes he goes months without thinking about it. He's thinking about it now, though. It's burrowing through his brain, under his skin.

     

    He wonders if he's afraid of Hongjoong too, the way he is afraid of everyone when it comes to this – including himself.

     

    Especially himself.

    Years go by and I'm still thinking about the metaphor at the heart of this

    Summary

    “You’re not actually nervous, are you?” Hongjoong asks. “You’ve done makeup in worse conditions. Remember the car ride to Incheon? No staff, zero lighting, potholes every five seconds.”

    “That was survival,” Seonghwa replies without looking away from the mirror. “This is presentation.”

    Hongjoong raises a brow. “Presentation?”

    Seonghwa dips a finger into a pot of shimmer and gently taps it to the corner of his eye. “You made something for me. I want to do it justice.”

    Hongjoong’s offer to design something custom for Seonghwa slowly unravels the threads holding their friendship in place.

    Summary

    "If you want to get me married, then I have a condition."

    Chenle’s throat is dry and he briefly considers backing out before the format of a matrimonial profile flashes in his mind. If he needs to read the words outdoor person and family-oriented once more, he might throw up a few vital organs.

    “You have to marry me off to a man.”

    [ Alternatively: The one in which Chenle marries for family, Jisung marries for the economy, and between a ton of cut fruit and animal post-it notes, they stay married for each other. ]

    probably the best take on the whole marriage of convinience trope
