    Summary

    I’m crammed into a burrow so small that my knees are up around my ears and the boom mike keeps slamming into my head, inhaling the potent scent of toffee-apple brandy and trying to drink a talking mouse under the table.

    Summary

    Kim realizes Harry’s afraid of touching and being touched. So Kim starts, very slowly, enacting his plan to make the detective more comfortable with being touched. He starts small. A hand on Harry’s shoulder when he’s done well, or when he needs to be bolstered. He leans into him to whisper confidentially into his ear. Once, the detective has mustard on his shirt, and Kim wets his handkerchief and dabs at it while the man stiffens and his face goes scarlet. He allows his hand to brush Harry’s when they play Suzerainty, handing off the die. But Harry doesn’t touch Kim. No, the detective keeps his hands to himself.

    And then in May Harry touches him of his own volition.

    Summary

    “There’s something wrong,” Orfeo says. He’s agitated, shifting his perch, beating his wings. “Where’s his daemon? I don’t sense it anywhere.”
    Kim says, “Detective, where’s your daemon?”
    The detective frowns, finally averting his gaze from Orfeo to Kim. His eyes, when fixed on Kim, are a direct and blazing green, made greener by the redness of the whites. Kim does not react at all, but it is a very close thing. “My what?”
    And that’s how Kim discovers the detective from the 41st has lost his daemon.

    Summary

    Hans choked out a laugh as he took in his dear friend’s bashful expression and the urgency there, the red tips of his ears. Thank God for Henry, always saving him in his time of need.

    “If you recall,” Hans said. “I didn’t just pay for myself, Hal. I bought her for you, too.”

    (Set between KCD1 & KCD2. An intense shared experience at a bathhouse reveals more about their relationship than Henry or Hans could've accounted for.)

    Summary

    Kim strains against the hold on his hands and relishes in the resistance, the burn of pushing his muscles, the scrape of his hands against the wall as he tries to gain purchase against Harry's unrelenting grip. His wrists, so thin and narrow in this contrast, are pinned above him by just one of Harry’s hands as the other is left free to run slowly and firmly up and down Kim’s body at a leisurely pace...
