Summary
Every so often, even years after Olruggio had accepted Qifrey’s I can’t, that tension between them pulled taut. Olruggio’s eyes were a deep, dark blue, and at night they looked nearly black, even with the lamp casting light onto his face.
“Sometimes,” Olruggio said, “I feel like you’re hiding something.”

Message in a Beetle by ConalltheLibrarian
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
30 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…- Language:

Summary
Kim refuses to kiss you until you’re sober. Unfortunately, Kim’s so cool that you tend to resort to a bit of the old Oranje courage to get the job done.
Sometimes, you don’t even do it on purpose.
A 5 + 1 story. Drouamine, Commodore Red, Cocaine, Pyrholidon, ????, + Sober
Excerpt:
YOU: You feel good. Everything feels hazy, just right, and Kim’s sitting at your kitchen table, leaned back, one leg propped over the other knee, cool, cool, the coolest thing in your apartment right now, and you feel like the old Harry again. Which Harry, you don’t know, but a good one, if such a thing is possible. You have the feeling that the world, when it gets this hot, is soft and malleable, and so are you, and this summer night, it’s very possible this man loves you.RHETORIC: Woah. What?
INLAND EMPIRE: It’s true. Just look at him. His jacket unzipped, stomach rising and falling as he brings the cigarette to his mouth.

Summary
DRAMA- There are little pieces of golden microglitter sticking to every inch of your pale and bloated flesh. Like you’re trying to turn yourself into an aquatic disco ball.
CONCEPTUALISATION- This is your home now. This is where you live. In the bath tub.Harry is getting better. He is trying his hardest to do better. He's bathing regularly and reading self help books. He's focusing on his cases, like the recent murder of a suspicious investor at a local restaurant. And he's desperately trying to forget the unfortunate kiss that he shared with his partner Kim in Martinaise nearly a year ago. Somehow it's still not working.

Summary
"This is good. You just need Kim to put his fingers right down into the back of your throat, and then he’ll be able to feel that there’s no bullet lodged in your brainstem, and everything will be okay. This is a normal conversation, and you’re doing well at it. You’re winning, even. This is great."
In which there is a great change coming to Revachol, Harry tries his best to conduct a normal conversation, and Kim is not, in fact, psychic.

Paddling Out (THE REPEATER CORPSE CONUNDRUM) by transhitman
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)

Tags
Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.

"I'm sorry, John," Root says abruptly.
John draws in a slow breath and shifts his weight in the passenger seat. His right thumb twitches. He could clear the weapon at his hip before she took her hands off the wheel.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
29 May 2022
Tags
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.

VOLITION — When she smiled at you, you could do no wrong. You wanted to be her comfort. You wanted to make her dinner. You wanted her to think of you when you were gone.
SUGGESTION — It was the first time you’d ever felt like that.
LOGIC — Now, it’s the first time all over again.Bookmarked by pyrexprodigy

Summary
Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.
A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.

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.
