    Summary

    Ever since she’d been small, Hermione’s reward for good marks had been a rampage through a bookshop, so the day she tore open her O.W.L.s results and triumphantly brandished the eleven Outstandings, her beaming mother said, “We’ll go to Foyles tomorrow,” without any discussion required.

    Summary

    "Anne had thought herself quite finished with wanting, but this want, once stumbled upon, would not quietly lay itself down in the grave with the others."

    Eight years changes a person, but not beyond all recognition. Fred Wentworth and Anne Elliot, years after a final break, find that they are more alike, in some respects, than they thought before.

    Summary

    “I was thinking… it’s about time I start to, uh, put some of the theory into motion, you know?”

    Harry has Kim’s full attention now, eyes surprised behind his glasses. “You mean like dating?”

    “Eh…” Harry runs one broad hand across the back of his neck. “Less than dating, more than talking about it. I was thinking about going to a club I heard of. La Fontaine?”

    ENCYCLOPEDIA - La Fontaine is an underground homosexual club that was established back in ‘01, even before the legalization of homosexuality. It is one of the oldest to still exist, only spared by the bombs of the Revolution by sheer luck.

    SHIVERS - IT WAS NOT LUCK.

    ENCYCLOPEDIA - But La Fontaine is not just an underground homosexual club. It is an underground homosexual club for those with deviant sexual appetites. You have heard that while it appears to be an ordinary club in the front, the back is lined with private rooms, fully equipped with all the carnal delights one could ask for.

    Harry wants to explore more of the Homosexual Underground. Kim helps.

    Summary

    HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — You’re never Harrier at work, just like you’re never Detective at home. You’re in trouble.

    CHESTER MCLAINE: “Uh oh!” the sergeant singsongs from where he’s sitting with his feet up on his desk.

    KIM KITSURAGI: “Oh, I have your attention now?” he asks. His tone sounds casual, almost friendly.

    HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — It’s not either of those things.

    Summary

    "Kim?" Harry says. He clips the cap of the pen back on. "Centim for your thoughts," and then he actually flips one across the table, which Kim manages to snatch out of the air before it hits the back of the booth and vanishes somewhere under the floor.

    Kim walks the centim across the back of his knuckles and then thinks: fuck it. They're off the clock as much as they ever are; the waitress is over at the other side of the diner; nobody's in the booth next to them. He says, "What's your opinion on being tied up, detective?"

    -

    Kim teases Harry, and himself.
