    If worse came to worst, he’d just fry whatever fucker attacked them.

     

    And hope Ethan wouldn’t get caught in the crossfire.

    Summary

    Ethan--a capable, young(ish) man--knew himself. He knew his quirks, his faults, his abilities. Knew his daughter too, her smile, the shape her face made when she was hungry, or angry, or sleepy.

    He no longer knew Mia.

    And for his safety, as well as his daughter's, leaving her was his only option. But there was no running away from his past, only embracing it or die trying. No matter what, he was always destined to end up in The Village of Shadows.

    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

    To devour, and be devoured, he thinks, as he slips the key into the lock. To devour and be devoured, he muses, as he helps unclasp Laios’ cloak with hands far steadier than his nerves; this close, he catches the vague scent of candle flame, the iron tang of wet ink - the fresh, crisp smell of a new book. To devour, he thinks - as he catches Laios’ gaze, tracking his movements, before the other averts his eyes - as if he as been caught, cheeks a pale shade of pink; and be devoured, he thinks - as Laios sits on the edge of his bed; thinks how easy it would be, simply to step forward, to tilt his chin up and kiss him, what might happen if his feelings were reciprocated -

    - arousal lances through him; white-hot, fist-clenching - his stomach lurches.

    “No,” he says, instead - keeps a respectful arm’s length apart, as he watches Laios tug off his boots, his eyes tracking the flex of muscle under his tunic sleeves, the careful concentration in his eyes, as he works to unlace the tops. “No, I think I understand what you mean, when you say that.”

    Or: the adventures of Kabru, master overthinker.
