The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes

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
Summer in Revachol blooms like pond algae. Kim installs those helium headlights, and Harry re-finishes a 20-hour mind project. In eighteen days, they'll open the container. In eighteen days, they’ll push themselves and their work to the brink. Low on the horizon, a reckoning slavers, snarling and pulling on its leash.
In eighteen days, the case will release it.

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
At the stony look on Mo Xi’s face, Murong Lian’s lips take on a sly tilt. “There’s no need to worry. Even when he prefers my cooking, he won’t be any less besotted with you.”
Mo Xi does not miss the key word, there: when. “What does that mean?” he asks.
“Nothing at all,” Murong Lian says as he slides a stock pot onto the stove, next to Mo Xi’s bubbling porridge. “Just that there’s no shame in being a spoiled young master. It’s not as if you can help it, Xihe-jun. It’s how you were raised.”
Mo Xi is grateful, as he so often is, that the boil of his spiritual power has settled since he was a child. Gu Mang loves this kitchen. It would be a shame to burn any of it.
(Or: when Gu Mang falls ill, Mo Xi and Murong Lian take it upon themselves to cook for him. A few insecurities boil themselves to the surface along the way.)

Summary
“I thought,” Mo Xi says, “you might like to look through it together.”
He’s already pink in the face. He’s still no good at flirting, still gets embarrassed so easily, and Gu Mang loves him, loves him, loves him.
“All right,” he says. He thinks he might be pink, too, and smiling in a foolish way. “But only if we do it properly. Mo Xi, listen to your shixiong, huh? He’s going to teach you.”
