Summary
Shepard stares as that mouth keeps moving, and eventually works his own to form words again. “Kaidan…” His voice is raspy, scrapes at his own nerves, the pain building as language eludes him. But what he’s about to say is necessary, so he furrows his brow and ignores it.
Immediately, Kaidan cuts off to listen. “Yes?”
"You're...the prettiest. Most pretty.”
[Or: Shepard gets a concussion and Kaidan takes care of him.]

Summary
Nathan Shepard has more than enough on his plate: end of the world, new Spectre status, the crushing weight of everyone's expectations, without having his ex assigned at his Staff Lieutenant. Thankfully Kaidan doesn't seem to recognize him. Which is fair, Nate's come a long way from the scrappy thug that used to sell pretty boys red sand for cheap in exchange for a bit of attention. Now, Shepard just needs to remember that Kaidan /doesn't/ remember.

Summary
It was difficult to choose just one way of killing Enver Gortash. Maidris had devoted hours to the careful art of consideration, daydreaming all the ways he could bring him to heel, to break that easy confidence, to leave him numb and begging, panting on the floor like a dog. To destroy, to utterly dismantle, Lord Gortash would be a ceremony, a holy ritual in itself. And at the end of it all, regardless of his method, Maidris would have his blood dripping over Bhaal’s altar, a final offering before the world was broken and made anew.
The Dark Urge arrives at Gortash's door for a reason he can't yet admit to himself. There's bickering, a little bit of spice, and some bittersweet pining for a future neither of them can have and don't even know that they're dreaming of.

Summary
Though many claimed the war had ended, the remaining Templars refused to lay down their weapons and cease their savagery. Instead, they sought vengeance against the ones who incited it all, the rebel apostate Anders and his beloved partner Garrett.
Anders escaped with his life, but Garrett paid the ultimate price for his safety, succumbing to a fate more cruel than death: Tranquility.

Summary
Anders has collected all the ingredients he needs for the bomb. Now follows the emotionally heavy task of actually making it. And he can't help thinking about his life and Hawke.
* * *
Anders closed his eyes tightly, trying to trap the forming tears before they had the chance to fall. He wished he had more time with Hawke. He wished it hadn't come to this. He wished he wouldn't die at the hands of his lover who would for sure think him a monster. That, he thought, would hurt the most.

Summary
Isabela advises Hawke to just confess after 3 years of pining after Anders because if he doesn't, someone else might snatch him from under his nose.
Hawke, however, knows better (except he doesn't), and with Isabela's words now haunting his thoughts, does the exact opposite, which is making a fool and an ass of himself in his jealousy.

Summary
“I’ve been doing this a long time, kid. Back before the government was taken over by the corpos, when the CIA still functioned with impunity. Back when this place was still called New York and not New Empyrea. And this man you’re going to get close to—Shepard? I’ve seen my fair share of dangerous, so believe me when I say: this man is dangerous.”

The Pied Piper of Martinaise by Folle for TwoBrokenMirrors
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)

Summary
Tucking his arms behind his back, Kim leans over the rat, only a little weary and frustrated. It is quite cute, with its twitching nose and little hands. He distantly wonders if there's another rat around somewhere.
TRIVIA – After all, rats are social creatures, much like humans.
SACRE COEUR – They get terribly depressed without a friend.
"Hello, cher petit rattie. Do you know where the detective from the 41st is?"
Look at him, talking to a rat of all things-
["Is that me? Are you looking for me?"]
Kim jumps, suddenly hearing a voice, as if it is speaking to him directly inside his mind. Deep, raspy, like whoever it was had been smoking a pack a day. A bit of a Messinian accent. Kim looks around the room, but there isn't anyone else, just the rat.
He stands up on his hind legs, sniffing the air. ["Um, down here."]
No. No way. "Erm... Petit rattie?"
["Yes! That's me!"]
"You're... You are a rat."
["I'm aware. But I'm also a police officer. I think?"]
Kim sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "It's the stress, I'm finally losing it..."

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.

Kim Kitsuragi and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace by ezlybored
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
07 Nov 2021
Tags
Summary
"I'm not exactly religious," Du Bois says, more diffident than Kim would've expected given the rapt attention he paid to Dolores Dei's image. Then again, it doesn’t take a religious man to appreciate art, especially of an objectively beautiful woman.
"Every believer starts somewhere," Kim says diplomatically, choosing not to react to the skepticism written all over Du Bois’ face.
In another world, seven years before Martinaise: Kim Kitsuragi isn't a priest. Harry Du Bois isn't married. That's about as simple as it gets.

Summary
Kim Kitsuragi went to solve a murder in a long-abandoned corner of town. He found much more than he expected: a disaster, and a miracle. A new partner, and a fresh start.
He has, by most sensible measures, objectively terrible taste in men.
Harry Du Bois woke up with no memories, helped solve a murder, got shot a little bit, had a sexual epiphany, and fell head-over-heels in love. He thinks he might have been a bad person, before. He's trying to be a good person now.
He's also exactly Kim's type.
