    Summary

    Louis was trying. But that superior tone of voice made him grind his teeth. As though Armand’s age, or even his familiarity with a dead era, offered him any advantage over Louis in judging the market potential of beauty.

    Summary

    “Does it take the pain away, Lestat?”

    Humming, Lestat shrugs, tosses his hair over his shoulder and winces when it pulls at the wounds in his neck.

    “What pain?” he smiles.

    Summary

    On the hunt for a story to get himself out of his current funk, Daniel Molloy is drawn to the tragedy that has struck a small community in rural Louisiana.

    Meanwhile, Louis de Pointe du Lac is trying to keep his head above water despite all the occurrences threatening the calm of his domestic life: a classmate of his daughter's is missing, his father-in-law has just passed, he suspects his husband has been unfaithful, and now a journalist is snooping around his family home.

    As Molloy's investigation progresses, Louis feels increasingly less safe in St. Augustine's Parish.

    Summary

    By the time the storm passes, and Flint returns sea-soaked and gleaming to the cabin, Silver’s in a state.

    “I see you’ve found the rum,” remarks Flint, and he’s fucking smiling, and his voice is too damn loud, storm-loud, not yet acclimated to being indoors. It grates. Everything about Flint grates.

     

    [Set between seasons 2 & 3. On the voyage back from Charlestown, Silver finds out it's Flint's birthday. He's not quite sure what to do with this information. He's also missing a leg, and he's not quite sure what to do about that, either.]

    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

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

    CHESTER MCLAINE: “Uh oh!” the sergeant singsongs from where he’s sitting with his feet up on his desk.

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

    HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — It’s not either of those things.

    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

    Had his friendship with Jofron meant so much more to him than what we had shared? A startling thought pricked me. Had she been more to him than a friend or follower of the White Prophet?

    “Would you have begrudged him that? That for a time, he lived in the now and had something that was good when all hope had left him?”

    How did the Fool and Jofron meet? And what did they really mean to one another? A story taking place during the Fool’s year in the mountains, mourning his Catalyst.

    Summary

    “Do you remember the safeword?” Louis asks, mouth close to the shell of his ear. Daniel controls a shiver by the skin of his teeth.

    “Harder?” he says because Daniel Molloy, as a twenty-year-old man, is nothing if not one thing (besides a junkie and a journalist and a fucking idiot): an asshole.

    Summary

    The murmuring of the crowd withers into a concerned hush as Bennett kneels beside the body. He touches the preacher’s sun-scarred wrist, then his swollen neck. The congregation knows what Bennett will say before he says it; they can see it in the sudden deflation of his posture, and his low, stern exhale of disappointment.

    Bennet stands up slowly, leaning heavily on his cane to steady himself.

    “It seems,” he says, in a tone suggesting some great and terrible inconvenience, “that we shall have to find a new preacher.”

    Summary

    ‘So, you’re Nicky, I take it? I’m Joe.’
    ‘Sorry, I don’t speak English,’ Nicky says. It’s about the only sentence he knows in English, a dubious badge of honour he nevertheless wears with pride. Or rather, he did until about five minutes ago, when Andy said there was someone she wanted him to meet. In English.
    --
    Modern AU with language barriers: Joe speaks Dutch, English, and Arabic; Nicky speaks Italian, Spanish, and German. Andy didn't know that when she introduced them, but it doesn't really matter.

    As the poets say, love finds a way.

    Summary

    When Nicolò walks home from working in the orchards, pockets filled with the fruits Yusuf likes best, he passes by the large church in town. Sometimes he’ll stop outside for a while, listening to the sounds of bells and singing from within. He does not go inside.

    Nicolò is no stranger to longing, so he recognizes the sensation when he feels it, bone-deep and lethal.

    [From:] Journal of Medieval Studies ([email protected])
    [Subject:] Ad-hoc note from the editor

    I have noticed an uncommon level of animosity in your responses to your reviewers (or rather, one reviewer in particular). I am writing to ask if you would please do your best to keep your interactions civil. In fairness, I have also sent a similar request to the reviewer you seem to have this friction with. I trust you will both try and remain more professional in the future.

    Again, thank you for submitting your work to this journal.

    Sincerely,
    James Copley, PhD
    Editor-in-Chief

    Summary

    The boy who worked the graveyard shift at Brazenhead Books was bird-thin, and pale, and kind of scowl-y. He was always reading enormous dry texts with titles like Tort Law and Alternatives and Intro to Comparative Constitutional Law. He drawled like Matthew McConaughey and the hair just above his right ear never lay flat.

    Ronan was probably in love.

    Summary

    “You can’t know that,” Adam said quietly. Someone and their cart rattled behind him, probably trying to get past, but he was two weeks away from a letter that would decide the rest of his life and was also in crisis about being in love with his best friend and the person behind him probably wasn’t either of those things. So he felt like an asshole but also kind of felt like he had earned the right to have a private conversation in the baking supply aisle for a few seconds.

    (it's spring break at the gansey cabin, which is a much more emotional experience than adam would have expected)

    “This was as Ronan remembered it. Adam's ribs fit against his ribs just as they had before. His arms wrapped around Adam's narrow frame the same way they had before. His hand still pressed against the back of Ronan's skull the way it always did when they hugged.” - cdth

    How Adam adopts the habit of cradling Ronan's skull when they hug.
