    Summary

    Martinaise, spring ‘51. There is a dead man - and two police officers who have been sent to investigate because of a phone call to Precinct 41.
    The body is none other than the one of Steban, the Student Communist. What seems like a suicide at first quickly escalates into a dangerous game within the self-declared independence of Martinaise, all amidst blossoming feelings, dark secrets, and the existential question: how far are you willing to go?

    Summary

    Did you, like me, wish that Harry could romance Kim during the game? Then this fic may be for you!

    A few months after closing The Hanged Man case, Harry and Kim return to Martinaise for work. It's a simple case, not even homicide (ugh), but they still have to spend a night at the Whirling-In-Rags. What happens that night is up to you.

    Summary

    After The Case of the Hanged Man, Harry and Kim are both working at the 41st, and they take their first real case that involves leaving their desks. No detective solves every murder, not even Harry Du Bois, and this one doesn’t look to Kim like the sort that gets solved.

    “Kim, is it possible that I forgot that some girls have penises?”
    “Oh.” You blink at each other. “Yes, that does happen.”

    In series, but stands on its own (as do the others).

    Summary

    What do murder, fastidious record keeping, and cars have in common? That's for Revachol's finest to figure out. When Harry discovers a sequence killer has been stalking the streets for nearly a year, he must look outside the 41st for help cracking the case.

    This is the second story in the Orange and Green series. If you haven't read the first story in the series, you can find it here. I recommend reading that first, otherwise some things just aren't going to make sense.

    Summary

    COMMAND—He’s not wrong. You don’t give up anything.

    RESTRAINT—That’s not how you were raised

    COMMAND—You do not yield to anything or anyone. You never let anyone take from you. You can give up power, hand it away like you’re passing a baton at a relay, but it is on your terms.

    GROUNDING—Okay, but you told them what you wanted, you talked this through, you are offering yourself with open palms.

    VICE—Oh, but this is different, this isn’t stretching out on the bed for them, having your wrists held over your head, this is giving yourself over, completely, forcing yourself to be limp in their hands as they move you where they want and use you how they want.

    NIGHTINGALE—It is unlike you. That’s how you know it could be wonderful.

    Summary

    Lieutenant double-yefreitor Harrier Du Bois is a dangerous man. He is a disease; he gets under your skin and spreads, awakens that old gnawing hunger in you.

    You put a hand to your face, pinch your nose. “Violation of the peace - battery - littering-”
    “Go on, then, arrest me, Kim,” he says, smirking. He’s loose and large and looks down at you. And you think about it. You really do. Turning him around, slamming him against the wall, face-first. He’s larger than you, but he’s drunker, and he gets clumsy when he’s drunk. You’ve practiced, years and years of it. You can have the cuffs on him before he even realizes what’s happening.
    You think, ah, fuck it, and then you’re on him, one hand on his shoulder, the other on his waist, spinning him around, shoving him, and he loses his footing on the curb, stumbles, and you get him under an arm, pick him up, and push him face first into the wall, reaching for your cuffs. You’re breathing hard against his neck.

    Summary

    THE DEAD GIRL’S FILE- The corpse is in her early thirties. Mondial, at a glance. Eye color slightly obscured, but most likely gray. Slim build, average height. A birthmark at the base of her neck- a wide diffuse patch of paper-white and hairless skin.
    ENCYCLOPEDIA [Legendary: Success]- This is a voidmark. When a pregnant mother is over-exposed to the pale. Other potential symptoms in the children include inconsistent growth patterns, higher sensitivity to psychoactive substances, autoimmune disorders, and chronic anxiety.
    INLAND EMPIRE [Challenging: Success]- Something drained out of them, and something foreign placed inside.

    Or: A strange murder mystery spirals into something bigger than anyone could have imagined. Harry and Kim think a lot about Revachol, the future, and disco along the way.

    Summary

    Nix Gottlieb has been working for the RCM for thirty-nine years - since its very inception - and never has he seen a bigger bunch of idiots than the current cohort.
    You have the twin fools McLaine and Torson, who are constantly in for the stupidest things, a real revolving door. Gottlieb suspects they like the company. Then, you have McCoy, who has never met a fight he wouldn’t pick. There is Minot, who tends to hide things until it’s nearly too late. There is Kitsuragi, who is the stubbornest man Gottlieb has ever met, and there is Vicquemare, who, when he is not actively trying to die, is not working very hard to prevent it. The consultant, Heidelstam, who is worth too much for how often they let him go out on calls and get stabbed. Even the horses which Gottlieb takes care of are exceptionally stupid this year.
    And then, Gottlieb sighs, you have Du Bois.
    Well, at least there is never a dull moment.

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    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

    You’ve been here before. The new you, the one that smokes like a chimney but doesn’t drink or shoot up, has been here before; 2 or maybe 3 months prior, riddled with insomnia, performing the usual ritual of walking the streets until something made sense or pulled you in. You’d stood in the early morning haze and felt something unknown and external tug at the centre of you, like an unpleasant hook through the bellybutton.

    Standing here now, deeper inside the carcass of this long abandoned warehouse, swarmed at the edges by RCM patrolmen, the pull comes again, unusual and unsettling. You don’t have enough words to speak it through with your partner yet, and you hadn’t wanted to think about it before either; for once the desire to explore had been unceremoniously extinguished.

    You weren’t so lucky this time.

    ——

    In which Harry and Kim work a case and fall down a rabbit hole.

    Summary

    In the beginning you dream about a shard of light, illuminating the path ahead of you. It wavers; sometimes it’s unbearably bright and warm, other times it struggles. It takes you longer than you would like to admit to realise that it always relates to him. When he has a good day, your dreams are steeped in gold. When he flirts along the edges of relapse, the light isn’t quite there, like a faltering lightbulb on the brink of burning out. He stumbles in the waking hours and you stumble in the dark.

    Little by little he is becoming something in your rote routine, breaking it apart in a way you aren’t quite prepared for. You’re frustrated by it, by how quickly he had such a hold on you. You’ve never needed another soul in your life.

    You’re beginning to need him.

    Summary

    Kim Kitsuragi never had a problem controlling his wolf. Harry was always calm and well behaved for him. He could do paperwork and Harry would be sitting still with just his tail wagging. In fact, he was often better behaved then, a modern miracle. “Lieutenant Kitsuragi,” people would ask, “how do you do it?”

    And Kim would just raise an eyebrow and say “Discipline,” because they never saw Harry nudge his nose between Kim’s legs, looking up at him with large eyes, inviting him to grind down. Never saw how his ears would press against his head because he could smell when Kim was wet and he was trying desperately to ignore it. Because they never saw how often Harry would reach for Kim’s hand to hold.

    Because they mistook Harry’s devotion for patience.

    Summary

    Time has come to wrap a lot of things into a package of secrets, all loaded onto Kim’s shoulders, like the fact that Harry is not the only one who’s had to piece himself back together from scratch, that he’s never been to Martinaise, and that he has spent the first twenty years of his life preparing to leave the only home he’s ever known.

    Summary

    Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi got into an accident the first day he arrived in Martinaise, fell into a coma for two more days, and then woke up without remembering a goddamn thing. Not ideal to say the least, especially when you have to solve a lynching with a man as obnoxious as Harry Du Bois.
