    Summary

    INLAND EMPIRE – There is symbolism in objects, but only what we put there. It changes depending on your perspective. Can you imagine the symbolism wrapping an entire world? An isola? A country?

    SHIVERS – A city? Sprawling, vast… breathing, twinned along the banks of a river. Many-lobed, connected by bronchial twists and turns. Congested with traffic but flowing with life.

    INLAND EMPIRE – Watch as if it were a film reel, caught on tape and forgotten in an archive. We can wrap it in a conversation, because some things need the context of familiarity – filtered through a mind that is uniquely suited to giving it the meaning it never possessed. Something so open to every thing and every impulse, every idea, that it's forced to wrap it up in turn – in shapes, in voices, in names.

    SHIVERS – Watch here, now. Watch the smallest, plainest piece of me…

    Summary

    Look at him. He's sitting here, waiting for you. He must have agonised for hours while you slept, not doing anything – just trying to ignore it and make himself presentable instead, hoping, maybe, that when you woke up you might...

    The air in the room is thick as soup. You can taste him on your tongue, at the back of your throat – sweet, salty. Your leg burns where he touched it.

    You're not succumbing to anything. You're choosing to be the object of his desire, on your terms.

    Kim thinks he's managed to stay stealth at his new precinct - until Harry breaks down, begging to be allowed to fuck him.

    Summary

    The club is almost unbearably hot tonight. A throng of bodies in satin and sequins move under the strobing lights, humid air mixing with sweat and alcohol fumes. You squirm on the chair. It sticks to the back of your thighs, reminding you of the choices you made just before heading out the door. You're waiting for something that may or may not come.

    Make me feel desired. Make me feel cheap. Make me feel dirty. Make me feel...

    Summary

    Jäger pilot Kim Kitsuragi loses his best friend and his reputation on the same horrible day. He almost gets kicked from the force, but is given one last chance - to work with the legendary Harrier Du Bois. The opportunity quickly turns out to be much harder and more important than either of them could have foreseen, and with far more hanging in the balance than just their own lives. Unfortunately there's a lot in the way of them managing to drift...

    Summary

    INLAND EMPIRE – Knowing the reason for something isn't necessarily panacea against its effect. If it was, there would be far fewer sad and sick people in the world. Most people in Revachol know perfectly well the reason for the months of protests, trade sanctions and blockades, the continual sabotage and collapse of all civil services and the imminent threat of open armed conflict.

     

    COMPOSURE – When pressed to reflect over it, it's been all too easy for Kim to connect the state of the world to the state of his own body.

     

    Harry does his best to get Kim to relax - but ignoring your impulses can be hard, artistic or otherwise.

    Summary

    Kim groaned quietly. Absolute fucking shit day on all accounts. Maybe he could go out in the communal garden in the backyard and dig himself down beside the potatoes. Just shovel earth on top of himself until his brain shut up. He needed... something. Just something heaped on top of him. Just something to force all the anxiety out. Just something big and heavy and warm...

    "Harry. Sit on me."

    Kim has had a shitty day, and needs some gentle loving pressure. Luckily, Harry is glad to oblige.

    Summary

    Kim manages to handle it for nearly two days. Two days of the officer from the 41st spacing out constantly. He talks in stops and starts, stares out into space. His already florid face goes a darker shade of red as he shifts uncomfortably, licks his lower lip, chews on it until it resembles a piece of raw beef. Two days of having to prompt him into doing anything but fixating as the case grinds to a halt. Two days of returning to the same topic...

    Harry gets fixated on the smoker on the balcony, and Kim decides that Harry needs to take care of business for the sake of his own sanity and to get the case going. No need to get weird about it. No need at all.

    Summary

    It begins with microorganisms – bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes eventually. The evolutionary biologists agree, if evolutionary biologists can be said to ever agree on anything. Let's not mention the taxonomists. It's harder to disentangle that knot than to disentangle the royal bloodlines of Revachol.

    No, wait, a little earlier... it begins with attraction.

    (love?)

    (You can call it love if you want to. It's fine. It can be other things too, of course.)

    Summary

    "... a what?"

    "A spa day! Or rather, a day and a night, as it were."

    An awkward silence spread through the main office of the 41st precinct. Kim stared back at Trant's beaming face, and at the handful of crisp, neatly folded leaflets he was holding up. The rest of the C-wing was was staring at him as well, most of them from across reports containing more or less horrific tales of murder and human misery. Kim gave them a scrutinising glance. Yes, Mack was most definitely holding an evidence bag with what looked like human hair in it.

    Precinct 41 gets to go to an upscale spa. It has cucumbers.

    Summary

    Harry in motion is... distracting. Long legs built for endurance, bulky upper body built for feats of strength – he moves like a machine that's been running in the same grooves for years, stances and lunges and foot placements etched into his nervous system early on and then solidified by continuous repetition.

    Working out after a long day gives Kim some... ideas.
