Summary
Healing magic - the ability to stitch yours or someone else's wounds together with a touch - spreads, ironically, like a disease. Get healed by someone, there's a small chance you'll become a healer yourself. Perhaps this was intended by a higher power to be a nice gesture. Someone helps you, and then gives you the power to pay it forward.
For Singed, this was an exploitable loophole.
OR: Viktor finds another way to live.

Summary
Tenna was on the decline.
If he wanted to keep his name in lights, he would be forced to get a little help from an up and coming big name in Cyber City. While not particularly impressed by their first meeting, Tenna knows that this “Spamton” fella was his best chance of getting with the times or risk being left behind.
All he needed was a little guidance and all of that little mailman’s secrets to success. He would bring him in, give him a little sweet talk, stroke his ego, and get the guy to sing like a canary.
He’d been in this business a long time, while Spamton was just getting started.
This would be too easy, he thought.
But soon, he would realize that Spamton was a more worthy rival than he’d first suspected, looking to take just as much from him and more. The question was: who would win?
Who could play the long game,
And make it out to the other side in one piece?

Summary
The dance floor isn’t lit up, the barkeep doesn’t wear a bowtie, and the bathroom doesn’t have a door. The ceilings are low, but people still smoke, and a hundred health code violations fly through Majima’s head.
But, all of this information takes the backseat to the fact that Nishitani, patriarch of the Kijin clan, brought them both down to a gay bar where the folks who ran the joint knew him by face alone.

Summary
"He works all night and lies in his apartment pretending to sleep during the day but it creeps upon him, the neon lights, the parks and the yakuza roaming the streets. So much like Kamurocho, an uncanny valley of its absence: no Champion District alleyways, Theatre Square drunks or a draughty apartment to call home.
The illusion of freedom is a chain on its own; and Majima is a free man as long as he stays in the city, as long as he keeps doing his job; as long as he ignores the sword hanging above his head. If he just lets the sun pooling in his apartment, the serene river and gulls shrieking under his window lull him.
As long as he doesn’t pull on the leash."
