Summary
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - He doesn't *need* to be in control, he *is* as in control as can be. He just needs to stop *thinking*.
LOGIC - This excellent executive function of his is getting in the way.
VOLITION - I second that.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Come again?
VOLITION - ...in *this* specific case.
ENCYCLOPEDIA - He needs to shut his prefrontal cortex down. It's not meant for sex.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - So how do we do this? Alcohol? Drugs? Blow to the head with a blunt object?Bookmarked by MarsReads

Summary
Most people are elastic. With little push and pull they stretch. They do as they're willed then bounce back. This flexibility grants them second chances. Like letting yourself fall when you slip down a mountainside: if you don't resist you won't be hurt as badly.
You are rubber. Firm and strong. You know exactly who you are. You insulate. You do not bend to the whims of others. You are rigid. One day you will break.
He is other. Something else. He is something that cannot be defined in simple, man-made, terms. He is esoteric and fluid. He is both the insects you feel in the hairs on your legs, after bad night terrors, and the arms holding you as your shaking stops. He will be what breaks you.
Let it be in a way that renders you flexible.

Summary
It was supposed to be a simple case: A crashed motor carriage. Two casualties. A handful of witnesses in a resurrected district.
But as Detectives Harry Du Bois and Jean Vicquemare are about to discover, it's the simple cases that have the most to hide. In the course of one week, they’ll uncover a community-wide conspiracy, descend into the dog-eat-dog world of organized crime, and meet the mysterious mechanic who seems to be at the heart of it all...
(AU where Harry has his sh*t together, Jean's his partner in Martinaise, and Kim isn’t a police officer)

Summary
The things that get you going have changed now.
Three months after Martinaise, three months of working with Kim (not as partners though, Jean’s your partner and he won’t let you forget it again) and the things that just get you, set your sometimes stuttering heart into overdrive, have changed.

Summary
“Shit,” Titus said, looking down at Kim with something approaching admiration. “The attitude on you. Like you got the whole world figured out.”
Kim pulled away. His tone was professional and direct, as though he hadn’t just been endeavoring to shove his tongue down Titus’ throat. “Have you ever had sex with a man before?”
“Thought about it,” Titus said roughly. Ah, Kim thought. Glen. He would do them both the service of not following that path any further.
“All right,” he said peaceably. “Would you like to?”

Summary
You almost forgot about Cuno, as impossible as that seems. You really weren't thinking ahead when you enlisted him, nor when you made the decision that you would take him back to your apartment. Jean had some good points about the wisdom of letting Cuno stay with you. His father is half-dead, but not actually dead. Your life is clearly a fucking mess, and not one conducive to rehabilitating a drug addicted delinquent.
The day after solving The Hanged Man case is easier to handle with Cuno at your side.

Summary
You could bribe her, you could threaten her, you could torture her until the brink of death and she still wouldn't ever call Pig 1 or Pig 2 'dad'. They're just a pair of freaks who decided it was in their best interest to put her through school and feed her.
If you bribe her just enough though, she will eventually admit that she likes Bino Pig slightly more.
(A collection of snapshots focusing on Cunoesse, the girl who never anticipated having normal problems like sleepovers and homework, and Kim, the man who never anticipated having to look after kids of his own.)

Summary
The gist of it was this: infiltrate La Puta Madre, get key names, dates and locations, and get out. As if this was an easy task, and not something the RCM had been struggling to achieve successfully for decades.
The Moralintern’s present, Benjamin Setsuna, was a recent addition to the Madre, previously not physically present within the Jamrock locale. La Madre knew a name, that he was Seolite, his necessary business dealings, but had never actually seen the man.
Kim resented that this task had fallen to him, as the precinct’s only high ranking Seolite officer. He had accepted the task, mask carefully in place, but he felt Harry shift angrily next to him at their secondary briefing.

Summary
KIM KITSURAGI — He takes one step past the threshold, staring down at something in his hands, and then he looks up and startles. “Harry?”
RHETORIC [Medium: Failure] — Your name tastes sweet in his mouth—even when it’s shocked out of him. You open your mouth to make an excuse—any excuse—and then actually get a good look at Kim.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Heroic: Failure] — He’s wearing leather. So much leather? Everywhere? You have no idea where to look.
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Challenging: Success] — It’s not quite a full biker suit, but it looks styled after one. The jacket is a little too big in length but snug on his shoulders and wrists, with padded elbows and a flared collar.
DRAMA [Formidable: Success] — He’s wearing tight leather pants. You manage to *not* stare at his crotch too much.
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] — The thing he was holding is a motorcycle helmet. He’s wearing biking gloves, too—big and cushioned. Kim owns a *bike*.
KIM KITSURAGI — “Detective, is there a reason you’re standing outside of my house at eleven P.M. on a Saturday?”
