Summary
The smoker leans back against his door and surveys you both, narrow shoulders rising as he laughs at one of Harry’s jokes. Some patently bizarre observation that is nevertheless surprisingly astute and irresistibly funny. Usually he saves his quips for you.
Usually. How long does it take something to become usual? You’ve only known each other for a few days.
(Kim is jealous of the smoker on the balcony.)

Summary
"If you’re going to take something from someone who wants it, you need to be stealthy and you need to be quick. Otherwise…” Here, Doric lets her tail float up behind her, “you’ll end up a kebab. Capiche?”
In the bright morning sunshine, it’s easy to see the line of Kira’s throat move as she swallows. She nods once, and then mutters, “Sorry, Doric.”
“Yeah, yeah. You’re forgiven.” Doric sighs. “You can do what you want, Kira. You just need to do it better than that.”
(In which Kira wants to be a rogue, Doric is the closest thing around, and she's not exactly pleased to be playing mentor. She gets over it.)

Summary
“Yeah, sensei, do we pass?” Sasuke dangled the bells from the tip of his finger, a smug grin on his face. He was a bastard, Kakashi decided.
Actually, all of them were. Little shit bastards. Feral goblins. Hellspawn. If it wasn’t Sakura literally changing the landscape of the field underneath Kakashi’s feet, it was Sasuke swinging a sword crackling with lightning, both of them subtly herding him towards Naruto’s hundred shadow-clones, all of which were so fast he could barely track them even with the sharingan.
Kakashi was starting to think his team definitely didn’t have the same problems as the others.
***5 times Team 7 confused/terrified the shit out of everyone +1 time they explained why (ft. Time Traveling Team 7)***

Summary
From the smell, there was a lot of blood. But why was his father bleeding? Kakashi felt like he was going to panic and could barely move. Pakkun tried to push him to, with a sense of urgency. Gathering enough energy to put one foot in front of the other, Kakashi slowly made his way to his father’s study, where the horrible smell of iron came from. His father needed him. He had to help him. His life could depend on it.
Kakashi has a recurring nightmare that his father dies in his study room.
A series where Kakashi has time-traveled to when he was 5 years old, except he does not remember his future self’s life. Instead, memories come back through dreams, flashbacks at inconvenient times, and feelings of déjà-vu. Something he does not realize yet…

Summary
“Alright, detective,” Kim says, as you pull up to a stop, with the voice of a man who has been waiting for an interruption. “What is it now?”
You blink, realizing your eyes have gone a little dry. It’s not a rare occurrence. “Your jacket is orange,” you say, looking away from the sleeve back up to his face. Eyes on the road.
“My jacket is orange,” he confirms.
You go quiet again, and Kim doesn’t react to this except with a split-second glance over at you, paired with the slightest twinge of amusement at the corner of his mouth. He knows you’re chasing a hunch, turning a thought over and over in your mind until its edges wear smooth. He thinks this is probably one of the frivolous ones, and he’s probably right.

There's something about Kim's jacket.

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
The gist of it was this: infiltrate La Puta Madre, get key names, dates and locations, and get out. As if this was an easy task, and not something the RCM had been struggling to achieve successfully for decades.
The Moralintern’s present, Benjamin Setsuna, was a recent addition to the Madre, previously not physically present within the Jamrock locale. La Madre knew a name, that he was Seolite, his necessary business dealings, but had never actually seen the man.
Kim resented that this task had fallen to him, as the precinct’s only high ranking Seolite officer. He had accepted the task, mask carefully in place, but he felt Harry shift angrily next to him at their secondary briefing.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes

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.
