    Summary

    Kim moves to Central Jamrock and transfers to the 41st, partnered with Harry. The two of them are pining for each other, but neither have taken the leap to initiate anything.

    For one, Kim is hesitant to involve himself romantically with a coworker. Additionally, he's trans-sexual - and he's not sure he can trust Harry to handle finding out that information about him (Harry not being super queer savvy, and new to his own queerness and all). It feels potentially too emotionally vulnerable on its own, on top of how that could affect his work.

    Kim gets the idea that if he can find someone else to date, then he can let Harry down easy - if he's even into him (which, he is) - and avoid a workplace relationship. He decides to place a personal ad at the neighborhood queer club to try out the dating scene again.

    Little does he know, the club is nearby Harry's place too - and Shivers and Esprit De Corps let him in on Kim's ad writing. Drama pushes him to respond.

    Summary

    '“Uh, hi. Martin, right?” Harry asked. He looked nervous, but excited, like an overeager schoolboy. “I mean, I know that’s not your real name. Do you have a real name?”

    “Yes,” said the Smoker. An enigmatic smile played across his full, pouty lips.

    “Oh!” Harry perked up considerably. “Will you tell me what it is?”

    “No,” said the Smoker. His smile now teetered dangerously toward genuine.'

    ~~~

    Harry decides that in order to reach a definitive conclusion on his latest thought project, he needs to *experiment*. Luckily, Martinaise's very own Smoker on the Balcony is up for the challenge.

    Kim feels absolutely nothing about this turn of events.

    Summary

    It's too hot to do anything in Revachol, except maybe make it hotter.
    ~~~~~
    "He puts a hand out to steady Kim's face, and Kim's eyes are wide, his heart is pounding, but Harry is so focused on his cigarette. Harry touches the burning end of his to the unlit end of Kim's, and inhales, the cherry lighting up a fiery red, and Kim inhales, and it works, catching his as well, a thick trail of smoke winding down into his lungs. Harry lets go of his face, a triumphant smile spreading across his lips, cigarette balanced between his teeth."

    Summary

    You figure out a lot of things when Kitsuragi transfers to the 41st Precinct.
    The first thing is that Kitsuragi is as queer as a two reál piece.
    The second thing is that Harry wants to fuck him.
    The third thing is that Harry has not figured this out yet.
    The fourth thing is that Kitsuragi has.
    The fourth-and-a-half thing is that Kitsuragi also wants to fuck Harry.
    The fifth thing is that Kitsuragi is a patient man.
    The sixth thing is that you also want to fuck Kitsuragi.
    The seventh thing is that Kitsuragi figures this out the day you lean in to light his cigarette on the station roof. Your hand is shaking because Harry almost got the three of you fucking killed that day by being his stupid fucking bullheaded self, who cares if you caught a fucking murderer, and while he’s downstairs getting stitched up, you and Kitsuragi are up on the roof smoking. Your hand is shaking badly and Kitsuragi reaches out and grabs your wrist to steady it, the warmth smooth leather of his gloves on your bare wrist where your sleeve’s pulled up. You draw in a sharp breath and he looks at you and you can see from the sharpening of his eyes that he’s figured it out.

    Summary

    "What if nothing is okay ever again?”

    Jean hums in thought, then replies, “Saying that implies things were ever okay in the first place. Life is bad and it only gets worse.”

    “You’re not being very helpful.”

    “Yeah, well, I can help you load your gun when we decide to blow our brains out.”

    -or-

    Jean and Harry get distracted while working on their latest case.

    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

    It’s spring, it’s Jean’s first time leading the task force, and Harry swings an arm around him. The paperwork is nearly done and elation is still fresh on everybody’s face. He ruffles Jean’s crow black hair and announces to the bullpen day’s over boys, we’re doing dinner, drinks and strippers, gotta make this one one to remember. 

    Jean doesn’t usually enjoy joining such nights - he prefers drinking in the dark quiet of a worn out dive with regular bathroom pitstops for lines - but today is a special day. He leans his shoulder into Harry’s chest and knocks his head against his, laughing . Sure, he hears himself say, do your fucking worse, Du Bois. Harry winks. Thought you’d never ask.

    Summary

    Jamrock, November ’49. Jean and Harry go undercover in La Puta Madre.

    “Vic, this could be dangerous.”
    Jean takes a long drag of his cigarette, not breaking eye contact.
    “Yeah, I know you’re tough, Vic, but-” and something breaks on his face, something raw and open and pained comes through, and he spreads his hands wide, cigarette smoldering between his fingers. “You could get hurt, Vic. Or killed.”
    “Du Bois, I’ve been a cop for fifteen years. I don’t fucking care about that.”
    “I fucking do.” Harry smacks his hand flat on the table, knocking over a bottle, which falls, noisily. Talk stops - the guitar misses a beat - and Harry flushes, and picks it back up, setting it exaggeratedly on the table.
    “Why?” Jean says casually, once talk in the room returns to normal. His heart is pounding. “Why do you care so much?”
    For some reason, Harry flushes even more. “I hate training new partners,” he says.

    Summary

    You’re both extremely drunk the first time it happens.
    The same with the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth times.

    YOU: Why does this keep happening?
    HALF LIGHT: Because it’s scary to do it sober.
    YOU: For Kim, too?
    COMPOSURE: Sure. But for different reasons. The lieutenant is tightly repressed. Imagine all that longing crammed into his 167 cm - 10 stone frame. It is unspeakable.
    CONCEPTUALIZATION: It’s tangled in there so tight he can’t even pull it out and go through it. It’s all just…there.
    YOU: Doesn’t that hurt?
    PAIN THRESHOLD: Immensely.

    Summary

    Kim calls Harry when he’s drinking.

    Most of the time, you call him sober, late at night after looking over your case notes out on your balcony, smoking a cigarette and staring down into the dark courtyard. “Kim,” he’ll say, voice deep in your ear. Often, the radio in the background of his apartment, always playing something different, as he rediscovers his tapes. Disco and rock and jazz and, once - which you ask him to turn down - Iilmaran throat-singing. Or, you will call him when you listen to WEATHER FM at night and find the weather will be bad the following day. You tell him, on these calls, that you will pick him up in the morning. Often, when you do, you find he has gone down to the corner kiosk and picked you up a newspaper, or gotten the two of you pastries, and he will be drenched, which defeats the purpose of picking him up. You tell him this, and he just winks at you.

    Jean turns to look at him and says, "Can I blow you?"

    "Hey, why won't you blow me?" Harry interrupts. Jean rolls his eyes, shifting onto his front on the couch.

    "Because your dick stinks, and I hate you." He looks up at Kim, tugging on the waistband of his day-off sweats, and Kim nods, bewildered

    Summary

    “I have no secrets after our beloved human-can-opener Harrier du Bois. You’ll have none too, you’ll see.” Vicquemare straightens out, his gaze becomes sharper for a few seconds, more focused, slicing into Kim. “He’ll open you up in no time and eat everything that’s inside.” He closes his eyes, his head lolling back on the backrest. “And then he’ll spit it out in your face. And you know what’s the worst part?” Kim finds his eyes locked with Vicquemare’s again. He can’t look away. “You will love every second of it. Because when he’s good? Oh fuck me, he is the best.

    “And then it all falls apart?” Kim can’t help but ask. He doesn’t want to know. He doesn't.

    Kim and Jean talk about the only thing they have in common – who might or might not be also the man who they're both pathetically in love with. A significant amount of pale-aged vodka helps.

    And then it happens again. And again.

    There is a hole in the world in the library, and there is a hole in the world in your head, and there is a hole in the world in your former partner’s chest, deep in his lungs. Maybe you can do something about it, before it is too late.

    JEAN VICQUEMARE: An exhale, a flutter of his lashes. “Huh - Harry - time is it-”

    SAVOIR FAIRE: It is the sweetest and softest you have ever heard him say your name.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: It makes your knees weak.

    YOU: You lean on his desk, palm flat, leaning over him. “It’s early, Jean.”

    COMPOSURE: Your voice as soft as his.

    JEAN VICQUEMARE: He opens his eyes slowly. They track over you, one pale, one paler.

    VISUAL CALCULUS: The lamplight makes them nearly see-through. If you could just gaze into them a moment longer, you will remember everything.
