    Summary

    If you were to ask Benoit Blanc, the famed private detective, what the worst part of his job was, he’d reply with an appropriately poetic and somber declaration of the deterioration of the human soul to greed and malice.

    However if you were to ask Phillip, non-famed husband to Ben Blanc, what the worst part of his job was, he'd say it was the broody moods his love fell into during the court stretch of his cases. Luckily, after many years of marriage he'd gotten quite talented at finding distractions for the both of them.

    Summary

    There is a hole in the world in the library, and there is a hole in the world in your head, and there is a hole in the world in your former partner’s chest, deep in his lungs. Maybe you can do something about it, before it is too late.

    JEAN VICQUEMARE: An exhale, a flutter of his lashes. “Huh - Harry - time is it-”

    SAVOIR FAIRE: It is the sweetest and softest you have ever heard him say your name.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: It makes your knees weak.

    YOU: You lean on his desk, palm flat, leaning over him. “It’s early, Jean.”

    COMPOSURE: Your voice as soft as his.

    JEAN VICQUEMARE: He opens his eyes slowly. They track over you, one pale, one paler.

    VISUAL CALCULUS: The lamplight makes them nearly see-through. If you could just gaze into them a moment longer, you will remember everything.

    Summary

    It’s when you see Harry in Martinaise after two weeks - two weeks of holding the fucking fort down, two weeks of silently - or not so silently - fuming about detective fuckstick doing jack-all on his seaside vacation - that you remember the old bit you had going on for awhile. Back when you were horse cops, before he started his Cop of the Apocalypse shit. You used to tease Harry about the white horse he used to ride, back when you were first partnered together. How in his patrol cloak, he used to look like the Dolorian personification of death. A tall gaunt figure in a cloak on a white horse, because the cloak hid his beer gut. A bad omen, a harbinger of doom. Children, idiots, and old women used to skitter away from you as you’d ride through the streets of Jamrock. Would hide in their shacks and watch you ride by. He liked it.
    So did you.
