    Summary

    YOU: They tell you you’re worse in winter.

    DRAMA: Maybe you’re some kind of cryptid. The Revacholian Gutter-Drunk, turned by the winter moon, stumbling and moaning through the streets. Particularly affected by blonde welkins and wiry and authoritative dark-haired men. Leave a half-drunken bottle of Commodore Red out, they say, and The Revacholian Gutter-Drunk’ll puke on your doorstep. His natural enemy is the sea, and he is regularly foiled by motor carriages…

    Summary

    Radios, recovery, and romance.

    Or, Harry starts listening to the radio. It gives him something to hold onto. (And maybe discovers the lost island of Atlantide while he’s at it.)

    Featuring: WEATHER FM, SAD FM, MIRRORBALL FM, and SPEEDFREAKS FM

     

    KIM KITSURAGI: “You know, when I was a child, I used to pretend I was flying an aerostatic through the pale and had discovered Atlantide. Mostly when I was trying to fall asleep.”

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He still does. Nights he really can’t sleep, he soars low, skimming the city: its tall clear buildings sparkling in the sun, the river snaking through the plain. Far below, a man looks up at him, shading his eyes. A child waves at him. A dog chases his shadow, snapping at it, never catching it.

    Summary

    When Harry's job takes him to a crime scene with the body of a young boy who looks just like Cuno, his despair over the state of the world sets in again, and he starts to drink more and more. But Kim - his new partner - cannot lose someone he cares about again. He is determined to show Harry what it truly means to have a purpose.

    With obvious expertise, Kim walks Harry through the immediately diagnosable faults with the car. For starters, she’s missing both her engine and battery, and her interior has been thoroughly picked clean of anything valuable, leaving her riddled with empty wounds where a radio or mileometer would be. Her paint is scratched, presumably from minor crashes or general damage at the scrapyard. Her windows are smashed, and one of her doors has such a large dent by the handle that it won’t close fully.

    If she were Harry’s car, he’d probably leave her running with the unit door closed and let her pass away peacefully. But Kim’s hands are all over her, pointing out her every flaw like a surgeon determined to save her life.

    ...So then what the hell are you?

    Summary

    COUCH OF IMPENDING DEVASTATION - Yes. Something wrong with your brain. Your poor, fucked-up brain, which didn’t think She was worth keeping when it vomited your memories onto that sticky Whirling floor. How do you know your brain won’t pack up your memories of Him one day? Pack them up and throw… them… away?

    YOU - It won’t. I won’t. He’s too precious.

    COUCH OF IMPENDING DEVASTATION - But you don’t get to decide that, Harry-boy. You don’t get to decide that at all.

    ***
    Harry becomes convinced he'll forget Kim, and in the ensuing panic attack believes he already has.

    Summary

    Kim doesn’t call for backup, which is why it’s strange that he hears a Coupris 40 pull up - distinctive engine sound, the low muted growl like a kitten in a paper bag that he’s got tuned up on his own Kineema to 11, Dom had helped him with the muffler work - don’t think about that now, don’t think about that now - and he knows it’s a fellow RCM officer, because he can hear the shitty squeaking brakes that seem to be so standard to RCM garages. Someone from the 57th driving by, he thinks, or maybe the neighbors called in the gunshots. Concerned citizen. It’s likely Officer Cotillard, he thinks, or Officer Moreau, please, not Fontaine, he thinks, or I really might kill myself. He is a little hysterical, he thinks, but it’s hard not to be with Dom’s hot slick blood coating his hands, his arms, his knees.

    But it is none of these officers. Instead, he hears, impossibly, the clatter of high heels, an unfamiliar voice, cursing. High and rasping, Vespertine accent. He’d be able to pick out that voice anywhere. “Vic, call for help to the 57th,” the unfamiliar voice says. “Code 58, officer down.”

    Summary

    Harry loves Kim's apartment. It's perfect.

    Except there's only one shower.

    Kim’s showers are efficient, usually five minutes or less, except -

    VISUAL CALCULUS: Except sometimes they’re not.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You know what he’s doing in there!

    INLAND EMPIRE: You do.

     

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: You’re both men, are you not? Men in your early forties, but that’s nothing - and twice a week, Kim takes longer than usual in the shower.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Fifteen minutes. Usually in the mornings, before you drag yourself off your couch.

    DRAMA: He likes the plausible deniability. You’re not up yet, he doesn’t have to feel guilty.

    INLAND EMPIRE: Sometimes, though, he does it at night. One night - the dog days of summer, he can’t sleep, no one in the entire city is sleeping, if the irritability of the precinct, the circles under everyone’s eyes, and the crime rate is to be believed - he gets up and goes into the bathroom. You’re almost asleep, drifting, but wake to Kim’s bare feet padding through from bedroom to bathroom.

    PERCEPTION: You hear the groan of pipes, the sound of water hitting the tub. The pull of the shower curtain.

    "That you weren't a-alive," he said, "After September eighth…"

    "Oh, Lestat."

    "It is f-fine."

    Summary

    It's been a full year of living in close quarters on the Hail Mary. Grace was bound to mess up eventually.

    If Grace was still on Earth, he would have plenty of options for places to go. A quiet park, maybe a movie theater, a walk on the beach. Something like that. As it is, stuck on the Hail Mary, he just doesn’t have that many options of places to go after a fight with his roommate.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.
