    Summary

    A classic Harry-relapse, Kim-confession fic. We all know it, we all love it.
    ~~~~
    "Kim, do you hate me?"

    He has to take a moment to steady himself, to keep from throwing himself at Harry's feet and promising him he will never leave. Harry's voice is so raw, so terribly sad that Kim feels something pulling in his own heart.

    "Far from it," he whispers, unable to find his voice. "Now let me get your chest."

    Summary

    CONCEPTUALIZATION - With the new brain, you should have got a new name, don't you think? What kind of name is Harrier?

    EMPATHY - It's the name of a deeply emotional person.

    ENCYCLOPEDIA - Actually, it's a wartime name. Revolutionary.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - The name of a warrior, then.

    AUTHORITY - The name of a leader.

    LOGIC - It's just what you were called after you woke up. A name. Nothing more. No need to romanticize it.

    SUGGESTION - I believe we like "Harry" better. It's soft. It fits in your mouth like it belongs there.

    HALF LIGHT - But Harrier knows things. He was in the crash. He might be all that's left of who you were.

    ______________________________

    After a motor carriage crash leaves Harry Du Bois with no memories, he’s sent to the Saint-Batiste Dolorian Orphanage. There, he meets Kim Kitsuragi, long before the events of Martinaise.

    heartbreakingly beautiful. if it doesn’t get a sequel, just keep daydreaming about how it might go.

    Summary

    His voices must be going at it, because you watch as he furrows his brow, looks at you and nods, steps closer, steps back, steps closer again.. and then he smiles a little bit. It’s small and unlike his usual brilliant grin or the sleazy grimace he once wore in Martinaise. It is kind, and open, and warm. For some reason, this ugly and imbalanced part of you has made his day better. You feel as though something is being given to you, even though you were the one who volunteered personal information. You feel as though you should hold it in your hands and learn to feel it without shying away. You feel the telltale shiver of a moment, as they say. You feel the undercurrent of a choice.

    Will you try today?

    Summary

    This is more like being damned to hell than pulled upwards to heaven. People don’t believe in that sort of thing anymore; just as no one marries in Revachol, nobody really places faith in any pre-Dolorian religion. Her Beautiful One, Her Kind One, Her Terrible One Dolores Dei doesn’t assign a place for you to go after death, no waiting rooms or thoroughfares or downturned/upturned thumbs signifying eternal peace or punishment. When you die, you die, and that’s all there is to it.
