Summary
"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

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
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.

INLAND EMPIRE [Challenging: Success]- Something drained out of them, and something foreign placed inside.Or: A strange murder mystery spirals into something bigger than anyone could have imagined. Harry and Kim think a lot about Revachol, the future, and disco along the way.

Summary
EMPATHY: Here it is: *There’s no such thing as a good cop.*
YOU: Kim says I’m a good cop.
SUGGESTION: Then Kim isn’t a good cop, either. And if this job can make someone like *him* think a bit of head-bashing is acceptable… then what is it doing to *you*?
YOU: Oh my god.
HALF-LIGHT: You need to fucking quit.
VOLITION: You need to fucking quit.
EMPATHY: You need to fucking quit.
ESPRIT DE CORPS: Wait, what??

You've been drowning for years. Martinaise was your rock-bottom. And if you go back to the life that killed you, you'll never get better. But job-hunting? in THIS economy? When you don't even know what a "resume" is, and there's a sequence killer running loose?Bookmarked by pyrexprodigy

Summary
Education isn’t for people like Harry, though he’s not sure why. He knows he can’t sit still and he sings in inappropriate places and that makes him less intelligent than others, and others are more intelligent and they don’t dance or do silly things, and that has something to do with it.
Puberty hits him like a freight train, hair and fur and stretch marks, and he always feels too big and he knows he is stupid and poor, but girls seem to like him all the same, and people tell him that’s a good thing and he believes them.

Summary
JEAN VICQUEMARE - “Have you seen my partner?” Jean leans against your desk, his arms crossed.
YOU - “No, I haven’t. Why?”
JEAN VICQUEMARE – “She’s been acting weird today. Distracted. She said she was going to use the bathroom an hour ago, and I haven’t seen her since.”
YOU - “Maybe she went to get lunch?”
JEAN VICQUEMARE – “No, her lunch is still in the fridge. And she can’t afford take-out.” He pinches the bridge of his nose, exhales.
ESPRIT DE CORPS – Satellite Officer Judit Minot is sitting on the floor of the records room, hidden behind a row of filing cabinets. Her breath comes fast, tears roll down her face. She clutches a calculator to her chest, a piece of paper containing a row of figures scrawled in shaky script on the floor next to her.Series

Summary
“Fuck.” Kim leverages his body as a prop for Harry to lean on, letting him brace himself against his shoulder, and darts his eyes down to Harry’s hip almost expecting to see blood pooling out. That’s ridiculous, of course. The wound is more than three months old now, what with his medical leave and Kim’s transfer and everything that has happened in this weird transitional space. It won’t reopen itself. Not after all that time. But it’s clear that it troubles him; something internal, hot and searing. He winces when Kim wraps his fingers around his forearm to stabilise him, too. “Khm. Sorry, was that-”
“No, no, you’re fine. Sorry. I feel like one big bruise today. Skin hurts.”
“You don’t have to apologise for me hurting you.”Kim and Harry head back to Martinaise to investigate the disappearance of a Wild Pines negotiator who appears to have walked of his own volition out into the sea. Harry struggles with his chronic pain in the wake of his gunshot wound. Despite all of this, they continue to silently pine.

Summary
HARRY DU BOIS - “Maybe I’ll forget again,” he says. "Maybe I can fuck myself up bad enough. Pass me off to some other poor fucker too good for me.”
YOU - “Don’t.” Your tone is sharper than you intend it to be.
HARRY DU BOIS - “First Jean, and now you. Looks like he was right. Fuck.”
YOU - “With all due respect, detective, do not compare me to Satellite Officer Vicquemare.” That sentence comes out exactly as cutting as you meant.
HARRY DU BOIS - He looks at you— squints at you, really. “You don’t like him?”
Kim has words for Jean.

Summary
SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.
