Summary
Probationary Constable Peter Grant met me for the first time when I walked up to him by the portico of the Actors' Church on a freezing winter night and said, "Hello. What are you up to?" However, I first met Detective Sergeant Peter Grant when he jogged up to my doorstep on a mild autumn afternoon and said, "There you are, sir. It is you, isn't it?"

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.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)

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
The Bachelor—man of science, child of the capital—has no ritual in him. No way to excise the growing tumor in his heart. Artemy should have seen it building. Expected something drastic. No ritual, but he doesn’t lack for drama.
“Oynon.” Artemy reaches for him. The Bachelor finally looks up.
(the Bachelor has realized that this is all a farce. the Haruspex helps him through it.)

Summary
“My work here is not yet done,” she says, voice smoke-rough. “Choose another to return.” Then, anticipating the Reader’s dismay, making an effort to gentle her voice: “So eager to see the back of me, are you, Reader?”
“Certainly not,” she retorts, and, to Jodariel’s surprise, she edges closer, resting a light, uncertain hand against the ridge of Jodariel’s shoulder. “If you do not yet wish to return, I would not force you. And our victory is not assured, anyway. I’d—only wished to encourage you to think on it.”
“I have thought,” Jodariel says, tersely, though she makes no effort to pull away, to move aside, to break contact; indeed, some of the tension is draining from her at the Reader’s touch, as those gentle fingers curl against her shoulderblade. “I have thought a great deal.”

Summary
Achilles stood up. He had been expecting the stranger since Megaera had stalked past him, elegant despite the anger and blood dripping from her.
An AU where Zagreus was raised by Demeter and ends up fighting his way through the Underworld regardless - just in the opposite direction. Guarding the entrance out is the terrifying monster Cerberus, but guarding the entrance in is Achilles, best of Greeks. And he has strict orders not to let anyone in.

Summary
To the naked eye they look no different from ordinary trinkets, lucky charms perhaps, simple objects the dead often keep on them in the grave.
Maybe they are. Maybe it’s Zagreus that makes them hold power.
(concept: god's keepsakes and blessings change zagreus' appearance and behavior during an escape. thanatos takes notice.)

“Know what’s the most depressing thing about this brave new world?” Nate asked, as Danse trudged up the grassy slope to the landing of the ruined house. “I wake up two hundred fucking years into the future and the music’s still the same. What the hell? Everyone’s just been listening to the same songs for a couple’a hundred years?”
