Summary
Maybe he realises that actually, for once, you were being sincere. He joins you in cloud watching, the silence comfortable. You’re so often on edge around others, a learned response. One of your early guardians had likened you to a feral cat, in constant fight-or-flight, and perhaps they were right. You can’t remember the last time it felt like this. Easy. Comfortable.
Safe, maybe.
Who the hell is this man?

Summary
You’ve been here before. The new you, the one that smokes like a chimney but doesn’t drink or shoot up, has been here before; 2 or maybe 3 months prior, riddled with insomnia, performing the usual ritual of walking the streets until something made sense or pulled you in. You’d stood in the early morning haze and felt something unknown and external tug at the centre of you, like an unpleasant hook through the bellybutton.
Standing here now, deeper inside the carcass of this long abandoned warehouse, swarmed at the edges by RCM patrolmen, the pull comes again, unusual and unsettling. You don’t have enough words to speak it through with your partner yet, and you hadn’t wanted to think about it before either; for once the desire to explore had been unceremoniously extinguished.
You weren’t so lucky this time.

Summary
It’s snowing again.
It’s becoming something of a recurring joke between Harry and Jean at this point. Every time it snows, Kim is at the window, frowning, furious in his usual understated way. ‘Maybe he thinks if he glares at it enough, the snow will melt away’, Jean had offered. Harry’s not one to join in when it’s at Kim’s expense, but it is, genuinely, so funny how angry he gets. About snow, of all things.

Summary
Jean is somewhat correct. The lack of sleep (and nothing else, Jean confirms, and you flush with relief) has made Harry…well. It’s made him…something.
He stands in your apartment doorway, propped up by Vicquemare, and pulls a face somewhere between ‘eating a lemon’ and a smile, all crinkled eyes and pursed lips. Jean’s face is just the lemon.
“Where d’you want me to put this oaf, then?” Jean asks, and Harry mutters ‘fuckin’ rude’ whilst Jean manhandles him towards one of the two chairs at your tiny kitchen table. He slumps there, and you stand over him with Vicquemare, until the combined image of the two of you causes Harry to blush, to cover his face with two hairy paws and giggle.
“S-stop!” He hiccups. Jean audibly sighs and looks up at the ceiling. You excuse yourself on the basis of making tea, so neither one of your guests sees your smirk.

Summary
Before, you would have doubted it. But it’s been like this for long enough to know that it’s yours. You are no longer giving with both hands to someone who wants none of it. He receives and gives in return.

Summary
Bertie goes to a rather rummy sort of club, the last place one would expect to find one's brilliant valet. What follows is more rummy stuff, lots of drinking, much too much smoking, and some other unmentionable things.

Summary
There's an itch behind your eyeballs, deep in the pit of your stomach. It lives in your spinal fluid and in your knuckles, at the bottom of your lungs and at the back of your throat. It's relentless. It wants the hits to land, wants the bruises to form, wants the blood to drip down. It only stops when fists hit flesh, when the adrenaline hits the receptors. Then, for a blessed while, it’s gone.
Harry gets restless, and tries to handle it by going pit-fighting. Kim tries his best to show him other ways to take care of his urges. It works, for a while – until everything gets complicated.
