It Will Scar by snapdraqons

Summary
“I am not… some sort of invert.” Barok hates saying it out loud. His denial feels like a confession in and of itself; if that were true, there would be no need to insist upon it.
“I never suggested you were.” Sholmes says as he stops in front of him and places his hands on his shoulders, applying the slightest amount of pressure. It's by no means a push, but Barok sits back down on the settee nonetheless and lets Sholmes straddle his lap, his body a familiar weight against his own. “All I meant was that as long as you are willing, I see no downsides. So, I'll ask you again. Were you hoping for a repeat performance?”--
In which Barok van Zieks is repressed and miserable, Sholmes is bored and lonely, and the two of them are objectively terrible for eachother.

Summary
Kazuma shrugs, "Besides, it's none of our business where it came from."
"... Maybe not, but…" His friend lowers his voice, furrowing his brow in thought. "You're curious though, aren't you?"
On the surface, Kazuma has no interest in van Zieks' personal life, nor does he indulge in gossip about his superiors. At least, he tries not to. But this is… different. Oddly enough, this sort of mundane rumour is the exact opposite of what he's grown accustomed to; workplace chatter about relationships and marriage feels positively ridiculous when compared to the usual talk of corruption and murder. Ryunosuke is right. It does feel weird, even if it is just because van Zieks is being accused of marrying someone he just met instead of the usual legal misconduct. And he would be lying if he denied his friend's accusation.--
In attempting to untangle the truth behind his superior's sudden engagement, Kazuma finds himself untangling his own relationships - with others, himself and the world around him - and it soon becomes clear they are more complicated than he'd ever realised.

Summary
He'd spent seven years wearing the same thing every day – a scratchy prison uniform that he could only take off when prosecuting, showering or changing into another, identical jumpsuit. The handful of old sweatshirts and jeans he wears in his free time is luxury compared to that.
Plus, wearing the same thing over and over means avoiding this.
This being a grim reminder of why he exclusively shops online as he stares at his reflection under the fluorescent lights of a changing room.
--
In which Simon and Athena go shopping, and Simon comes face to face with something he'd rather not think about; himself.

Summary
Still hesitant, Ryuunosuke inches a little closer to the death trap that takes the form of a bicycle, feeling Kazuma's grip on his hand adjust so their fingers are intertwined. “You’re absolutely certain you know what you’re doing?” he asks warily. His partner nods.
“Of course,” he answers. “You trust me, don’t you, Ryuunosuke?”--
A late night bike ride turns into something more.

a terrible influence by snapdraqons

Summary
Ryuunosuke’s gaze hardens for a moment and Kazuma can see him weighing up the pros and cons in his head, his decision no doubt clouded by the same lust that had influenced the suggestion in the first place. Then, after a short silence, he leans in to press a kiss to the corner of his mouth, smiling against his lips. "You're a terrible influence on me, partner," he says, pauses, then adds, "You remember the safeword, don't you?"
"Autopsy," Kazuma recites with a nod before asking, "Is that a yes, Ryuunosuke?"
"... It is."--
Kazuma and Ryuunosuke put an empty office to good use.

Summary
The other woman furrows her brow. "Ah, perhaps I worded that incorrectly," she says, more to herself than to Courtney. "I suppose what I meant to ask was… do you ever feel… isolated? Like you don't belong?"
"At work?"
"At all."--
In which Courtney Stevens gets to know Lady Baskerville, finding far more in common with her than she first realised.

an act of reclamation by snapdraqons

Summary
Before Kazuma had regained his memories, self-pleasure had been one of the only things he had control over. It had been a chance to use his voice, to find out who he was if only in the context of how his body would react to being touched. It had felt new and exciting, discovering which angles would make his back arch and how a moan would sound on his otherwise-silent lips. Back then it had been a way of satiating his own curiosity about who he was as much as it had been about scratching an itch.
Now it's an act of reclamation. Of taking back what's rightfully his, regardless of whether he deserves it or not.
or
Kazuma Asougi on desire, ownership and regaining control.

Summary
Even now, as he watches his partner waltz around his suite just as he’d done when he’d lived here, there’s a sense of rhythm to his movements. A rise and fall as he goes from his desk, to the kitchen, to the door to collect this week's paper and bills that have been shoved through it. A chassé as he approaches the table to pick up his drink, a lilting melody in his voice as he asks his Mikotoba if his beverage has been to his tastes. Even the kiss he presses to his lips – brief, chaste and subtly flavoured with coffee and tobacco – has a certain fluency to it as if choreographed to a piece of music only the detective can hear, before he glides back to his desk and returns to whatever scientific endeavour he’s currently working on.

Summary
A part of Mimi Miney wonders if the candlelight illuminating Khurain Village's Channelling Chamber is more than just coincidence: if the warm amber glow of the flames that flicker along the walls and cast gold-tinged shadows that dance over the faded tatami mat laid out across the floor are the universe playing some sort of sick joke on her. Laughing at her. Taunting her. Or, perhaps, this is simply its way of punishing her. A little karma for the extra blood that's now staining her hands.

Summary
I’ve reviewed all five of The Gavinners’ albums now, alongside several of their singles and EPs, and this is the first time since their debut single "Thirteen Hard Years For Love" (back when the legal references were an interesting lyrical choice and not a tired gimmick) that I’ve seen even a glimpse of potential from the band. "Atroquinine, My Love" is honestly a decent song, as well as proof that The Gavinners could be capable of making good music. Unfortunately, this is most likely a fluke. They’ll continue making formulaic, commercialised pop-rock that most people only listen to because the frontman is hot, because that’s where the money is. And I’ll continue to review their songs because I have rent to pay.
I can only pray that I’m wrong, but for now I can’t say "Love Without Parole" has been anything more than a disappointment.
4/10---
Apollo Justice is yet to write a single good review of The Gavinners' music, and Klavier is just about sick of him. What does he know about music anyway?
He hates Justice. The feeling is definitely mutual. And there's absolutely nothing else there. -

Summary
The defence attorney he's talking with looks just as exhausted as he feels, but there's still a definite sense of admiration in his eyes, a small sheepish smile on his lips when Klavier’s arm brushes over his own and a nervous laugh when he bends down to meet his eye level. That's always how it starts out: begrudging respect and an acknowledgement that, despite his flaws, Klavier Gavin is in fact worthy of your time.

Summary
Aura is the last to arrive (much to the dismay of her parole officer) and sat in the usual spot she takes by the window is a woman she's never seen before. She's got long, lavender hair with two small braids pulling it out of her eyes, and her face bears ornate markings that Aura can only assume have some sort of cultural significance. She's sat up straight, one leg crossed over the other with her hands placed delicately in her lap, and as Aura pulls up a chair the two of them make eye contact.
Her eyes are sad, in an oddly warm, wistful way. The eyes of a woman who's been through too much, Aura thinks. She knows that look all too well.
--
Aura attends group grief counselling as a condition of her parole - something she hates until a new face shows up.

Summary
“Need a light?” A voice draws Nahyuta from their thoughts. A horribly familiar voice that is, quite frankly, the last thing they want to hear right now. They narrow their eyes as they turn to face the speaker, who’s leaning against the wall a few feet away from them with a cheap-looking lighter in hand.
Usually they’d at least attempt to put up their usual guise of being a holy man, but right now they’ve had a long enough day and little enough luck with their late father’s lighter that the energy they’d usually have to do such a thing is long gone. With as much venom as they can muster, they say, “I don’t want anything from you, Blackquill.”--
In which lighter is shared and Nahyuta learns more about Simon - and themself.

Summary
When Klavier convinces Apollo to be his last-minute plus-one to a red carpet gala, he's not sure what to expect. But he certainly doesn't anticipate being pulled into a messy world of celebrity gossip and drama that threatens to tear his not-quite friendship with the prosecutor apart.

Summary
Simon swallows down a lump in his throat as his cheeks flush with a mix of embarrassment and (slightly pathetic) sadness. He hasn’t experienced this sort of dumb, low-level heartbreak since sixth form and he’s suddenly overcome with a gut-wrenching sense of deja vu as he remembers how stupid he’d felt crying over a girl in his psychology class he’d barely known, his chest tightening as he processes Athena’s words.
Nahyuta Sahdmadhi is dating Klavier Gavin.

In which Simon thinks Nahyuta is dating Klavier, Nahyuta thinks Klavier is dating Simon, and Klavier has no idea what's going on.

Summary
The challenge Simon laid forward is simple: A duel, one-on-one, a single blade each. With their experience having been raised be rebels, this should be easy for Nahyuta. Unfortunately, there's a problem.
The problem being that Simon Blackquill is very, very attractive.

Summary
Metis cups her face in her hand, then leans in to rest her forehead against her girlfriend's. "Look on the bright side, Aura," she says. "At least this time you'll get to say goodbye, right?"
Goodbye. It's something Aura had never said; before she'd gone out to get lunch that day, the last thing she'd said was 'see you in a bit'. No goodbye. No ‘I love you.’ Just a promise that they'd see each other again soon. A promise that, finally, has been fulfilled after eight long years.
--
In which Aura attends a spirit channelling and sees Metis one more time.
