    Summary

    Pryce laughs robustly. “So we’ve got some sort of a love…polygon, a union vote in five days, fourteen shots fired by Vic’s count, three stiffs, one destroyed firearms locker that we’ll probably have to reimburse Delta Logistics for, a random betting slip, some necklace that cost a king’s ransom, and a whole safe full of naughty notes.”

    “…Yes.” Kim confirms, trying to hide a smile. “An apt summary, really.”

    “You know, I became a junior officer at nineteen–” The captain flourishes his hand toward Gottlieb, “–Ah, Nix could tell you about those days. I’ve been a cop almost forty years, and this? This takes a whole bakery full of cakes, boys. What next, an escaped lion from the god damn zoo?”

    Pryce’s shrug is exaggerated; the lieutenant is mildly amused.

    Summary

    Jean"s meds can"t lift his depression, his devotion can"t stop his best friend circling the drain, and his adoration can"t change the fact that the woman he loves is already married -- but he goes on. (Just don"t quote Le Million at him. He *hates* that guy.)

    Summary

    PERCEPTION: The pink imitation feather boa, coiling like a long-necked bird, hanging down from the coat stand beside the door, is loudest. It talks in a soft hissing voice. It is soft and beautiful and when you take it down and touch the soft feathers to your skin it coils itself around your neck like the most beautiful hug. It shimmies around your shoulders. Beautiful.
    RHETORIC: Fake feathers, of course.
    SAVOIRE FAIRE: No cockatoos harmed in the making of this glorious vision.
    BUBBLEGUM PINK FEATHER BOA: Look at yourself, darling. Look how wonderful you look.

    Harry dresses up for another performance.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI: One hand comes up to cling frantically at your neck. He’s scrambling for some shred of composure, some scrap of authority, but he’s breathless and laughing and it goes straight to your head like a second-hand high. “Put me down!”
    You: “Gotta carry you over the threshold,” you grunt. “It’s good luck.”
    ENCYCLOPEDIA: An old Ubi Sunt? tradition. It’s a symbol of devotion, of the sickness-and-health part of marriage vows.
    LOGIC: You’re never going to get married. You’re sure of that. It’s not legal, and anyway Kim wouldn’t enjoy the spectacle of it. This is as close as you’ll get.
    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: This is pretty fucking good, though.

    Kim and Harry are finally moving in together.

    Summary

    “‘Oaan li ee riiah’t aice oo.”

    “What was that?”

    Harry spits blue froth into the sink. “Sounds like she’s trying to entice you.”

    “Like a witch in a fairy tale?”

    “Like a stray cat. You know,” he waves his toothbrush, “leave food out for it everyday until it gets used to you being around. Maybe she wants to be friends.”

    Kim wraps his towel around his hips. “What would an old Seolite woman want with me?”

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can"t allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    Summary

    Here’s how shit was supposed to play out:

    Ingerlund ditches Du Bois. Du Bois tanks. Du Bois meets Vicquemare. Vicquemare tanks. Vicquemare ditches Du Bois. Vicquemare gets better. Du Bois heals, or doesn’t, or moves to Graad, or paints an exterior with his interior, some Saturday evening, when the wind smells of ice. Anyway it’s not Jean’s problem.

    Instead, here’s how it’s gone:

    Harry, one month sober. Harry’s hundred days. Harry’s brand-new optimism. Harry’s brand-new partner.

    Summary

    In the aftermath, these are the things Mithrun is told most often: that he’s been rescued, that he is no longer Lord. That dungeons are in his past. The date, the year. What he’ll be eating today.

    He is being cared for. He’s safe.

    Summary

    Alright, Kabru thinks, trying very hard to ignore the solid press of Mithrun’s deceptively lean body against his own, the small puffs of breath brushing warmth against Kabru’s cheek, and the really pretty way Mithrun’s fine gray hair falls into his eye, Okay. Something in this dungeon is definitely fucking with me.

    Summary

    Kabru finds his eyes glued to the video. Most people who defend monsters online, he’s found, know shit about them. They live in sheltered cities, far away from any actual dungeons, and the closest they’ve come to seeing an actual monster is in an Elven-made VR game. They’ve never died from a basilisk’s fangs in their throat.

    But this guy seems different.

    Kabru taps over to the comment section of the video. Normally he avoids them, but this might actually be relevant to his research.

    wait lol isn’t this the dragon dildo guy

    Kabru blinks at the top rated comment.

    (Or: Laios reviews monster sex toys online and Kabru is a tired grad student.)

    Summary

    Stepping on Tacks
    How the Pioneers of Hextech Battled Cancer and an Impending Energy Crisis
    by Maddie Nolen

    The article — this issue"s feature story — starts with a full-page portrait of Jayce and Viktor, a black-and-white thing shot in some Piltover studio six months into Viktor"s remission. He’s sitting on a clean, white armchair, the kind that makes his back hurt, and Jayce is leaning on the side of it. It makes him look older than he is. Jayce, as usual, looks like he’s still twenty-five.

    Viktor had agreed to it mostly because the publicity would bring them more funding. Looking at it now, though, the whole thing leaves a bad taste in his mouth.

    Summary

    Viktor lays awake, listening to the steady breathing beside him. The breathing of a man sleeping on his husband’s side of the bed, in his husband’s clothes, with his husband’s face, but who is most certainly not his husband

    or

    Jayce hasn’t been acting like himself and Viktor is determined to get to the bottom of it.

    Summary

    “You look ridiculous, by the way,” Viktor says. He gestures toward Jayce with a deliberate wave of his hand. "The beard. And the hair."

    Jayce blinks. “What?”

    “It is overgrown. You look like a poorly maintained garden.”

    “Are you calling me a shrub?”

    “It is not the worst thing," Viktor teases, wry. Then his smirk fades into something more thoughtful. “You have … changed, yes. You are rougher around the edges now. You look—” He hesitates, words faltering before settling on, “—like you have lived.”

    And Jayce wonders how much longer he’ll be able to hold himself back.

    Six months after they destroy the Hexcore, Jayce and Viktor try to settle into a new life as friends. Partners. Turns out they love each other a little too much.

    Summary

    Friends make friends stuff all the time, and Jayce did break Viktor"s cane. It"d be a nice thing to do. A cane, plus some cool tools, and Jayce will be able to know he"s a good friend. He likes this plan.

    (Or, Jayce makes a new cane for Viktor. He then makes some more stuff. It spirals from there very, very quickly.)

    Summary

    "Have you tried looking for them?"

    Heimerdinger suddenly stops strumming. The final note ends on an off-key chord Ekko can"t help but wince at. Furry brows knitting together, the professor tilts his head, apparently confused by the question. "For my old glasses?"

    "For Jayce. Or Viktor," Ekko clarifies, though he"s pretty sure Heimerdinger knew what he was getting at. "Even if our Jayce did end up somewhere else, one should still exist here. In this timeline, what happened after the explosion?"

    Heimerdinger frowns, mustache wriggling in displeasure.

    "Ah, yes, the incident. Well, you see—"

    Or, Heimerdinger doesn"t want to disrupt the peace Jayce and Viktor have built for themselves in the alternate timeline, and Ekko learns Powder has something to do with that.

    Summary

    [ spoilers for the arcane season two/series finale!! set immediately afterwards. ]

    This is real, he realizes, the whirring of his mind at once intact, thoughts sharp through the fuzz of the technicolor landscape.

    He’s younger, a lot younger. He can tell by the lightness in his shoulders, the uninjured strength in his knee. The hexcore, he thinks, before it was destroyed it must have shunted us to another world.

    It means many things and one thing: he’s been given a second chance.

    Viktor, his mind shouts.
