    Summary

    “See what I mean?” He said, placing a hand on his shoulder. “She’s gonna need all the support she can get this time. And you…” His tone softened, but his gaze was firm. “You’re gonna have to toughen up. It’s not gonna be easy.”

    Right then and there, Yeonwoo made a silent vow. He would be the one watching over Haesol this time. No matter how rough things got, no matter how tired or overwhelmed he felt, he would be there for her every step of the way.

    What he didn’t realize – what he couldn’t realize – was just how difficult that promise would be to keep.

    ----

    Three times Yeonwoo tries to be a doting husband to a pregnant Haesol, and the one time Yeonwoo realizes that being a doting husband may mean than just doing favors.

    Summary

    Valisthea is dying.

    While kings and countries vie for dwindling resources, the Bearers who make up a small portion of the population live and die by the whims of their owners. Clive, a Bearer slave born in Rosaria, couldn’t care less about the political machinations happening around him: the fall of his home country, the political alliances of Dominants, or the wars between nations. He cares about one thing – the freedom network known as the Road which aims to save as many Bearers as possible.

    Unfortunately, it’s never that simple.

    Or, Clive is born a Bearer. This changes some things and doesn’t change others.

    Afterall, Ultima is still out there waiting on their Mythos.

    Summary

    Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.

    A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI – "Well, there's nothing wrong with feeling nervous. Especially in our line of work."

    CONCEPTUALIZATION [Trivial: Success] – It comes with the territory.

    KIM KITSURAGI – A delicate pause. "And it's okay if you're having trouble coping with that."

    "We all have our vices…"

    SUGGESTION [Medium: Success] – Seems like he might've caught onto the fact that you're not entirely sober.

    AUTHORITY [Trivial: Success] – Oh, don't let him *preach* to you.

    YOU – "I'm not even drunk."

    KIM KITSURAGI – Kim doesn't say a word, but you can *feel* him raise an unimpressed eyebrow in your direction.

    YOU – "Okay," you immediately concede, "I'm drunk."

    ---

    A couple of weeks after Martinaise, Kim calls Harry to check in on him. Harry has not been coping well with his reintroduction to reality.
