    Summary

    Tarquin had never considered himself the sort who was suited for change. Even change for the better. He was better suited toward keeping his head down, protecting his own, and staying out of trouble. He had to. Minrathous was a cesspit and nothing he could do would change that. He believed in that, if nothing else.

    Then the damned, handsome Chantry Brother decided to show up in his archives like a stray cat.

    Summary

    Sylvain gets it. He’s tall. He’s muscular. He’s the best substitute at hand.

    And it’s okay, really. He wants to be so many things for Felix: his friend, his shelter, the bedsheets that wrap around him at night.

    He can be Dimitri if that’s what Felix needs.

    Sylvain can read Felix like an open book. It’s a pity he doesn’t understand what he’s reading.

    Summary

    “I bet I could figure out the buttons. Give me a week and I’ll have you as desperate as... as Purple Shirt. Mark my words, Akechi, it’s about the buttons.”

    Goro stops walking. His wide eyes glisten under the streetlights—glossy like the twin buttons on a teddy bear’s face, glossy like the buttons on his crisp linen shirt, glossy like the metaphorical buttons that Akira aches to push. They stand still long enough for a car to rumble past, long enough for Akira’s pulse to skyrocket, for his palms to clam up with sweat that has nothing to do with the heat.

    “If it’s only a matter of buttons,” Akechi whispers, “then I could say the same about you. Seduction is just... altering your behavior, tailoring it, putting on a show. Give me a week, Kurusu. I’ll make you the ‘desperate’ one.”

    (Or: Goro and Akira make a bet.)

    Summary

    Felix watched as Dimitri gathered up his papers, shuffling them slowly, absently. Something was wrong. There was something he wasn’t telling him. “What else did Sylvain say?”

    The silence lasted a second too long. "He said —" Dimitri stopped, hesitating for another excruciating moment, before he lifted his head to meet Felix’s gaze. “He said he was getting married.”

    Felix stared at him, unable to even muster up anger at the sight of pity on Dimitri’s face. It felt as though a sudden wind had blown over him, extinguishing the growing flicker of hope he had pretended he didn’t have. “Oh,” was all he managed to push out of his throat.

    Summary

    SPR takes on a case that has a short timetable and a lot of specifics. The kind of specifics that send Ayako & Bou-san to a romantic villa 1,200 miles from Tokyo to investigate a spirit plaguing vacationing couples. The real question for SPR isn't if Ayako and Bou-san can survive the haunting, but if can they survive each other? Birthday gift for my lovely friend RaisedOnRadio
