A/N: ...This fic makes a hell of a lot more sense if you've read these RP threads: first meeting (sort-of), REAL first meeting + Chloe joins up with the Knights, (classic/cliche-but-cute) Mistletoe Thread, Absolute Honesty Thread which leads to The Date. It sells the idea of Flynn/Chloe, and also explains...uh, why it's possible. TY RP-verses. Though I suppose due to those 'Tales of the World' games, just about ANY sort of 'Tales Of' crossover is at least slightly plausible. Still, I gotta say, supposing Senel and Estelle never wise up, these two would just be too cute together. ♥

This fic came to be because we all know that Flynn probably can't/won't really fully commit to anyone without his BFF's approval. :] But of course, Yuri just takes it as another perfect opportunity to gleefully and unrepentantly troll his childhood friend...for the most part, anyway.

Totally written for its_game_time btw. btw. ♥ And yes, part of this was also somewhat inspired the first episode of the BBC Sherlock. :3

[A/N: ...Man, I did not even mean to write this. I am SUPPOSED to be writing Original Story Stuff, but this idea took over my brain and WOULD NOT BE DENIED, and before I knew it it was 26 pages in Word. True story.]

[A/N: MAJOR APOLOGIES FOR SLOWNESS, NO THIS FIC IS NOT DEAD. I’ve just been very busy with work, class, and RL, and before that I had to focus all my attentions on getting this little number ready for Dragon*Con 2011. :3 (…Uh, I’m the one on the left, in case you were wondering, haha. And yes, I am a huge geek, but if you’ve read this far then I don’t doubt you already know that full well.) /ALL THE REGULAR LAME-ASS EXCUSES, orz

Anyway, just two more chapters after this one, then it’s on to a few other (probably mostly one-shot) Thor-fics for me! I can only hope that my writing has found favour enough with you, gentle readers, that you’ll give my further attempts an equal chance. :]

Also…the way this chapter ends is admittedly a little silly, but the mental image made it too funny for me to resist.

A/N: Sorry for slowness! This ended up being another long chapter, and that other one-shot fic ate my brain for a few days there. Anyway--any Discworld fans out there? :3 If so, maybe you’ll catch a certain something, and maybe you won’t since it’s super-tiny.

And if you’re not a Discworld fan, then SHAME ON YOU YOU SHOULD BE. Or else we can’t be friends. Just sayin’. |3

…Also, the slight (very slight and one-sided, because this is GEN!BRO-FIC, with no pairings rly) Loki/Sif hints in this chapter are blamed solely on dedicated to fialleril. ;3

Summary: Police Inspector Kurt Wallander is struggling to accept having shot and killed another man, even though it was clearly self-defense…so he turns to a colleague whose hands he knows are no more clean than his own.

A/N: Written in response to the events of “Faceless Killers”, with the end of “One Step Behind” kept in mind--this will make little sense to anyone who isn't familiar with the show and what happened at the end of Season 1: Episode 3. It's a ‘missing scene’ of sorts, perhaps. Because I process things through writing, apparently.


[Wallander, Martinsson. ‘Mens Rea.’]
-

“How do you do it?”

Magnus Martinsson, busily typing away at his computer, glanced up briefly, but didn’t pause in his typing. “Do what?” he asked after a short pause, his eyes focused on the glowing screen before him once again.

Kurt Wallander just stood there for a second, looking even more rumpled and lost than usual. “I…I dunno,” he sighed, seeming almost ready to drop the subject before he’d even breached it. “Just…live with yourself, I guess. I mean, after…” He cast about the room, looking everywhere but his younger colleague, rubbing his two-day stubble unconsciously. After a moment the rubbing shifted to cover the rest of his face, his eyes in particular; then he dropped his hand to his side and released another heavy breath. “It’s just, I never thought…I never thought I’d take the life of another man. Ever. And now I have to live with that for the rest of my life.”

Martinsson was quiet for a long moment, but his fingers had gone still over the computer’s keys. “Well, in my case,” he said at last, still not looking over at the other man, his voice soft, his words clipped and clearly carefully chosen, “I just think about what would have happened if I hadn’t pulled that trigger.” Now he did look at Wallander, his expression set and grim; but his eyes were steady, if harder than they’d once been, and there was no blame, no guilt there. “I mean…what would I have to live with then?”

A/N: …And as I wrote this chapter, I discovered that there was a LOT more story here than I’d first thought. I was planning on sort-of glossing over their ~GREAT QUEST~ but…I liked the idea so much that it took off and carried me with it. So apparently we’re gonna have this crazy ZOMG YEY ADVENTURR detour, and then have a go at the more crack-y aspect.

A/N: Super-short chapter. But Chapter III is shaping up to be pretty long to make up for it.

A/N: Set in the “Just So You Know” AUniverse, after the events of that main story. :]

…Yeah, I can’t quite seem to leave this AUniverse alone--there is just too much potential for both hilarity and awesome. This is just a one-shot tag-on fic for now, but if I get more ideas... |3

And, just like anything and everything set in this AUniverse, this is for its_game_time. ♥
