    Summary

    Solstice is an important night, the longest of the entire year. It's a time of cheer, anticipation, the Planet making her final round before the days will start getting longer again, so they stay up through the entire night to wait for sunrise.

    It was also something of a trial, a last hurrah, at least in Nibelheim. Families all together bundled in the same house, making enough merry to forget the raging cold and the preying wolves. To see each other through and, failing that, see each other for the last time.

    If you made it through the longest dark, then you were ready to survive the rest of them.

    Or: Cloud and his family, healing gently

    Summary

    The death of his wife in childbirth leaves Yuujin Mikotoba with severe depression, a mountain of guilt, and a daughter he is ill-equipped to care for. An attempt to put six thousand miles between himself and his grief doesn't work as well as he'd hoped. Maybe repeatedly putting himself in mortal peril alongside the most insufferable man in London will do the trick.

    I.e. if Capcom won't give us "TGAA: Investigations: the Prequel" I will write it myself, as self-indulgently as I want.

    SO GOOD

    Summary

    Kazuma stands—graceful; you’d never suspect a thing was wrong with him—and collects his things. He hesitates at the door, though, gaze lingering on Ryunosuke.

    “Do you… need something?”

    Something crosses Kazuma’s face—surprised and frustrated in equal measure. His mouth twists—presses into a line. “I don’t… need anything,” Kazuma says. Slowly; carefully. Then, like whiplash: "Goodnight."

    Or: Kazuma, and the terrible act of wanting.

    Summary

    Van Zieks rises from his chair, pacing over to his window. “You are to take a sabbatical. As long as it takes for you to go to your homeland, get your head together, and return.”

    Asougi stares at his back, taking a moment to process it – Van Zieks had spoken calmly but in full seriousness, his typical tone, as if he were doing something as simple as telling Asougi to read about the case he’d just gotten. “Pardon?”
