Summary
“Susie,” Kris’s voice deadpans from the other end of the line, “if you don’t call me back in five minutes, I’m killing myself.”
Noelle stares.
Susie coughs. “They, uh. They don’t mean that.”
Susie makes her first friend. Somehow, they're even more insane than she is.

Summary
She showed up at Kris’s door with her hood up and her tail twitching, smelling like smoke that wasn’t hers. She had one of her mother’s old flannels tied around her waist, the sleeves long and dragging. Kris didn’t ask. Just stepped aside.
Toriel, from the kitchen, poked her head out and said only: “Shoes off, dear. I just mopped.”
Like Susie belonged there.
Like she wasn’t a guest anymore.
Kris gave her the couch and curled up on Chariel. Susie protested, at first—“It’s your damn house, dude,” she said, “I can sleep on the floor, I’ve done it before”—but Kris was already half-buried in blankets and completely silent, which meant the conversation was over.
At some point, when the house had gone completely quiet and the shadows settled, Susie whispered:
“Hey.”
Kris shifted their head to look at her.
The moonlight caught her hair, the jagged edge of her teeth. Her eyes were clearer than they ever were at school. No posturing. No sneer. Just Susie. Bare and real in a borrowed T-shirt, her knees pulled up, her voice a rasp.

Summary
"Oh, who am I kidding, he hated you anyway, didn't he? Of course you weren't friends. No one makes friends with people like us, Frisky, unless they want something. And you just give him what he wants, don't you? All you have to do is not kill everyone and he'll pretend he cares about you. Isn't that fair, Frisk? Isn't that good enough, Frisk? Isn't that all you deserve, Frisk?"
You stand up.

Summary
Suddenly, it snaps into place. The weary way Lan Zhan has been holding himself is suddenly cast in a new, much more distressing light. Somebody is responsible for it, a real live, horrible, blind, stupid person. The combination of guilt, sadness, and anger that sets in all at once is hard to contain. Lingering wisps of resentment that remain from the night-hunt flock to him, like calling to like.
All four boys stare at him with wide eyes.
“Wei-qianbei,” Sizhui says. “You look...um…”
“Scary,” Zizhen breathes, beaming.
“Who has rejected Lan Zhan?” Wei Wuxian asks.
Or; during one of his visits to the Cloud Recesses, the juniors strike a blow to Wei Wuxian's certainty that his feelings for Lan Wangji are one-sided.

Summary
Everyone knows that Wei Wuxian died before the Sunshot Campaign even began.
Everyone knows that the Yiling Patriarch is a huli jing, a trickster fox spirit, that practices demonic cultivation for nefarious purposes.
Everyone knows that there’s no way a righteous sect, let alone the hidebound Lan sect, would accept the Yiling Patriarch into their clan.
...Everyone is wrong.
Or, when the notorious Yiling Patriarch marries Hanguang Jun to save the Wens, nothing in the cultivation world will ever be the same again.

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.- Language:

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

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

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

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.

Summary
Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

Four Million Miles from Here by LiteralWho
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
09 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
What has Viktor done to deserve this? At what point did Jayce come to value him so highly? Somehow, this bond of theirs grew so gradually, so subtly, escaping Viktor’s notice as it entwined itself into every facet of their lives, strangling all else with its roots until only its verdant bloom remained.
“Let me go, Jayce.”
The grip on him tightens. “I won’t.”
No. He’s made that quite clear. Viktor lacks the strength to shake him off; if he tried, Jayce would surely release him, but to rob Jayce of his sole source of comfort would not be right, nor good, and so Viktor waits. A minute passes, then two, then four.
The rune swallows them up, and abandons them in an unfamiliar land. Is this not what they wanted? With naught but the clothes on their backs, they are left to wander. To wonder.

She looks up at the sky, tilting the umbrella up.
It’s heavy, dark, the sound of raindrops on the fabric washing everything else out.
It’s a silly, fool’s hope but Caitlyn doesn’t have much else left in her besides a fool’s hope, a birthday wish.
Caitlyn climbs to the top of the Hexgate.

Summary
The good news: Viktor took a break at the right time for Jayce to watch him in the afternoon light, when he went to sit on the armchair by the window. It was an ethereal image - the sun caught the wild strands of his hair, dipping them in gold.
The bad news: there was no way to represent this without switching to toned paper.
The good news: Jayce bought toned paper.
The bad news: Viktor ended up looking more like some kind of bioluminescent hedgehog.
