    Summary

    “What you're looking for is called a minimal pangram, detective,” Trant says with a smile.
    “What we're looking for,” Kim retorts, “is the killer.”

    As Harry Du Bois’ new partner, Kim finds that his duties now include keeping the wild creativity of the detective from interfering with ordinary investigation. But in some cases, ordinary investigation is not enough.

    Summary

    Usually, when faced with one of Harry's non sequiturs, Kim would intentionally force his face to remain neutral, carefully hiding either confusion or a grin.

    This time however, he opened his mouth to speak, then stopped himself before a single word left his lips. His eyebrows creased in a look of intense concentration, while his gaze went right through Harry, then snapped back into focus. Before the lieutenant was able to reign in his expression again, something flickered over his face.

    HALF-LIGHT - Fear.

    ___
    Or: Kim is once again confronted with the Skills - this time, his own. Harry of course doesn't know any other way of being - but to Kim, it becomes a question of identity, and a rather urgent one at that.

    Please read "A Spilled Kaleidoscope" first!

    Summary

    Lighthouses are the next little celestial bodies. Lightmen all learn this at some point as they become a regular feature of the electromagnetic architecture. They do not become like clockwork, they become like seasons, consistent, rising, yet variable, yet unknowable. It is a shame that the lighthouse keepers have no way to sit down and tell stories with each other, or else, there would be a pantheon of Lightmen, for the sun, moon, and every star.

     

    or

    Harry is a lighthouse keeper, Kim is a sailor on an aerostatic engine. They never meet.
