    Summary

    He still sleeps with that quilt. It still smells like her—light, a little floral. Sooner or later it won’t reach his feet. Sometimes light catches the embroidery needles on his nightstand just right—they’ll glint—and the needle pricks his finger as it slides out. Doesn’t quite draw blood. Still stings as he pulls the edge towards him.

    It’s not the play at pain that draws him to it. Not entirely the commitment to his mother, either. No, it’s some crude curiosity—or compulsion, as it were. Forcing his hand. This isn’t what a son does; this is women’s work. This isn’t what a son does. This has nothing to do with avenging his father or his mother.

    The needles disappear from his nightstand. So do her projects. Tucked away somewhere in some corner of a closet. It’s not what a son does. It’s not what he needs to do.

    Summary

    “Erm, it feels a bit like you’re walking on a cloud, doesn’t it,” Ryunosuke Naruhodo half-laughs, a little breathless. He scratches at his cheek, eyes wide as they dart to and from the camera. “I mean, you know, the second you get used to being in England at all, you somehow get tugged into applying for this, and you somehow get accepted, and—”

    “I mean, wot’s the worst that could ‘appen? Ya make a fool out o’ yerself on the telly?” Gina Lestrade asks, crossing her arms as she stares dead into the camera. There’s an edge to her gaze, like she expects the production team to confirm or deny. They don’t. A beat, then: “Nuffin’ much different than most your day-to-days, innit?”

    Or: watch the world fall in love with this season's contestants of the Great British Bake Off, The Great Ace Attorney-style.

    Summary

    Barok only wanted to establish Iris as the main benefactor of his will. No feelings, no reminiscences about his brother, no mention of the threats to his life.

    Is it life that gets in the way? Or is it just Sholmes?

    Summary

    Kazuma almost doesn't believe in fate. It was through will, and will alone, that he managed to befriend Ryuunosuke, and make it to London, and fight with his greatest friend and partner to shed light on the truth one year ago. And it is the same means that he vows will give him the courage to confess his undying love to Ryuunosuke when they meet again.

    Kazuma almost doesn't believe in fate, except for one little caveat:

    The universe seems very intent on fucking with his plans.

    Summary

    After one of the worst lays of his life and an even more awkward morning after, Ryuunosuke manages to escape from his one night stand with the comforting knowledge that he’ll never see the other guy again. Except “the other guy” just lost to him at their university’s speech competition, and is really, really determined to become better at tongue twisters.
