#lieutenant double-yefreitor harry du bois

[healthydoseofhedonism]

just finished my first full play through of disco elysium and holy shit. wow. what the actual fuck. art is real.

[autismsupersoldier]

this post man

i dont know why i thought idiot doomspiral has a manbun and long hair. im pretty sure he doesnt. whatever have fun be free...

[tipsygnostalgy]

i think it's hilarious that harry du bois, the man who had to be reminded by a series of hallucinations and his own reptilian instinct that he had an ex-fiance to begin with and couldn't figure out her name until his coworkers eventually flat out told him, recognized distinctly and first thing post-memory loss how a Coupris Fucking Kineema sounds

[pvths]

Your weapon is a block of solid iron in your trembling hand. Ahead of you, a demon roars behind its ceramic mask. Smoke and fire erupt from its weapon and the world turns gray. You hear it impact something behind you.

SENSUS PARABELLUM [Challenging: Success] — It was aimed for Harry. Already, he is taking aim again. He will fire in a matter of seconds.

1. Check on your partner.

2. Take aim.

VOLTA DO MAR [Godly: Success] — There is no time--the mercenary will kill them all. Put him *down.*

1. [Hand/Eye Coordination - Impossible 20] — God, please...

-2 Mega Binoclard

+1 Eyes would be proud.

+4 Protect Harry.

HAND/EYE COORDINATION [Impossible: Success] — The time for thought has passed; your mind clears, the ocean waves calm and still. You can *do* this.

1. Shoot the Merc.

HAND/EYE COORDINATION — The skin of your shooting arm tingles, like little lightning bolts. Your trigger finger twitches, then pulls. A lion roars, an angry bee soars, and blood pours like water from the 12 millimeter eyehole in the mercenary's helmet. *Hit.*

RUUD — The mercenary screams a piggy death, writhing like a salted slug on the cracked pavement. His helmet stares you down.

PEACEMAKER [Easy: Success] — Accusingly.

GLEN — Behind you, there's a grunt. One of the Hardie Boys is hit, judging by the sound. Dying.

HARRY — You see the Detective pause, then shiver in the midday air. Your lungs go frosty in your chest when you see...

KORTENAER — The burning merc gurgles, his pistol raised. His face melts in little, fatty strips and his eyes meet Harry's. You will *not* be fast enough to save him.

ESPIRIT DE CORPS [Impossible: Failure] — Another partner buried, Detective?

HARRY — The shot connects and the Lieutenant falls in a pile of ceramic and cloth. Blood bubbles from a spot near his crotch. Quite a lot of it.

1. Help Harry!

HARRY — Your hands compress the wound, as they have done before. He mumbles something incoherent.

1. "You are bleeding out! Keep talking to me!"

2. "What?"

HARRY — Then, his hand is around your wrist. His wild, party eyes meet yours and you feel the Viliers' weight being pressed into your palm.

HARRY — "NO!"

QUICKDRAW [Formidable: Success] — You turn on a dime to find that ugly, ginger thing gaining on you, her weapon raised.

1. End this.

HAND/EYE COORDINATION [Easy: Success] — The bullet pierces her throat and she chokes a bloody cough. Even still, she steps forward and her weapon comes down on you hard. The world goes dark.

1. No... Harry...

2. Sleep.

-------------------------------------

Decided to write the action bits of the mercenary tribunal from Kim's perspective. Hope you enjoyed :)

[emptyjunior]

I appreciate the wave of the disco Elysium fandom making every character trans (cause they are and he is and she is and they all are and you're Right) but I think you really truly need to consider the consequences of trans Harry Du Bois.

That man woke up with a lost gun, a lost badge, a lost car, had forgotten the concept of Money and his Own Name.

You can't tell me he's gonna get through that fateful morning without, at some point, Violently grabbing his pants and going "Kim I've Lost My Penis"

[dysphorie-draws]

Safe home

(Quick attempt at something painty that got waaaaay outta hand. I might upload the sketch at some point cos tbh i prefer it)

[mrtequilasunset]

No because listen to me listen. Thinking about Kim feeling conflicted about his name Kitsuragi because of the way it ties him to his ancestry, the family he doesn't know the racism it's subjected him to his entire life, considering severing himself from it entirely at one point before untimately deciding not to. Harry knowing objectively he is Harry Du Bois but not really feeling like Harry Du Bois because he doesn't know who that is, the man he was before is not him anymore beyond slivers of memory. He would ask to take Kim's last name in marriage because he does not know the Harry that existed before Kim, and Kim is stunned because suddenly the name he'd spent so long doubting and loathing sounds so different and wonderful when paired with the name of someone he loves so much. It's not just the name for a family he never knew, it's his family's name now. Harry is the family he's made for himself. And. And Harry says it so proudly to anyone that asks, corrects people with his full chest ("actually it's Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Kitsuragi now") and and. Grrrr Do you get what I'm saying do you understand

[revacholianpizzaagenda]

3sentence, Harry Du Bois, "there'll be peace when you are done"

(x)

Another case closed, another perp dragged off the streets: at the end of the chase, lieutenant double-yefreitor Harrier Du Bois limps into his empty apartment at fuck in the morning and he is cold, so very cold, and the clanking and hollering outside his window tells of a city that still aches just the same across its streets, which are poor and restless and endless.

Outside the window, a pulsating, nauseating yellow billboard promises "there'll be peace when you are done" - words meant to sell you dish soap, somehow, and some feeble spark of Harry's battered neurons knows that it's a quote and knows that it is wrong, it used to say "there'll be peace when we are done", Ignus Nilsen's promise at the gates of the Parliament building, then repeated as his Graadian exiles re-emerged from the pale on the coasts of Samara's reality (legend has it that as he spoke his uniform was still stained with blood).

Harry's own face looks back at him from the window's reflection, ghastly, distant, hollowed; an old exhaustion fills his lungs with wet, coughing sobs until he mercifully falls asleep on the bare floor.

[autiezo]

HARRY DU BOIS - "Kim, you're my best friend, I'd do literally anything for you."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Oh? Anything, really?"

HARRY D.B - "Absolutely."

KIM K. - "Then how about doing your work. For your job, Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor?"

HARRY D.B. - "... You're such a spoilsport."

KIM K. [with deadpan sarcasm] - "I'm so sincerely sorry for being the 'Fun Police'. I should be shot dead, for my sins against the Spirit of Lollygagging.

EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - He's definitely not sorry, but you didn't need me to tell you that.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [Challenging: Success] - He knows you love him, and he appreciates it.

[jodjuya]

One of the best genres in fiction is the noir-core convergent evolution collection of profoundly alcoholic, utterly dysfunctional, dangerously unstable, tormented, and wildly out-of-control chain-smoking renegade super-detective geniuses named Harry who cause ludicrous amounts of property damage in their obsessive and self-destructively-reckless fixation on Solving The Case and Getting Their Man, NO 👏 MATTER 👏 WHAT 👏 IT 👏 TAKES 👏

Irrevocably anguished in equal measures by the scumbags that he couldn't put away, the innocents that he couldn't save, the systems that failed him, and the dame that broke his soul, it's been 0 days since his last internal monologue, 1 day since his last fistfight, 2 days since his last sleep, 4 days since his last shave, 8 days since his last shower, 16 days since his overdue rent was due, and 32 days since his last bender.

COUNTERBALANCE WITH SAFE/SANE/CONSENSUAL SIDEKICKS TO TASTE

Shown here:

Lieutenant double-yefreitor Harrier "Harry" Du Bois, of the video game 'Disco Elysium'.

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, wizard and private investigator, of the 'Dresden Files' series of novels.

Inspector Harold "Dirty Harry" Francis Callahan, of the 'Dirty Harry' film series.

Norwegian police officer Harry Hole, of the eponymous novel series and film adaptation.

(I discovered this guy exists only, like, an hour ago, but I'll be damned if he doesn't fit in perfectly right alongside the rest of these Loose-Cannon Lawmen)

"Dirty Harry" came along first, so I suspect he set the mould and the other three are in homage to some degree or another... 🤔

[ph-cutie]

im sorry this is mean but im so amused by those de players who end up with like actual vendettas against evrart SHEERLY because hes an antagonistic character. "i hate evrart one of the worst characters hes slimy and manipulative and made me sit on the chair" hes not real.. and he did those things to lieutenant double-yefreitor harrier du bois not to You personally. not even asking these people to consider story and plot because clearly theyre beyond that but his shenanigans with harry are just funny. how do you manage to have beef with such a chucklesome fellow

[browniefox]

The Very Best Fics - 2

I am making a second 'best fics according to me' because it is very long. You can access the previous post from here.

On this list is: Daredevil, Disco Elysium, Trigun, Psych, Mob Psycho 100, Undertale, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy VII

Daredevil

My Guardian Avengers (Can I Get A Refund?) - prettybirdy979

Daredevil needs to protect a certain law firm in Hell's Kitchen. He's a little slack about protecting this Matt Murdock fellow though, and the Avengers are only too happy to step in to help. Matt is SO not okay with this. (Shut up Foggy, so what if it's his own fault!)

Prettybirdy979 has done 'Daredevil meets the Avengers' like ten times, and you know what? they hit it out of the park every time. Hell yeah! This one is just as fun, and it's always nice to read a new (uh, new-ish) fic from an author you love :D

Disco Elysium

Excerpts from the Case Notes of Kim Kitsuragi - Hosekisama

Excerpts reference Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Du Bois' belief that he can (and does) "reload" his own life after failing, like some kind of video game character.

Disco Elysium plays with so many fun video game mechanics, like the 'jamrock shuffle', so honestly the idea that Harry would think in terms of 'reloading' is way fun! I love the ambiguity of whether or not there actually are saves or loads.

Trigun

Start here - AsterAspera ( @aster-aspera )

The first time he wakes, he is in a room. Heavy curtains hang over dusty windowsills and there are crumpled sheets on the bed and crumpled sheets on the floor. The world is quiet while his body screams. Every soft, fleshy, vulnerable part of him is on fire, writhing and roiling in unbearable agony. He wants to move, get away from the mattress that digs into his skin like fingers, like knives, like roots, but his body is frozen without his consent, time stretching endlessly around him as he fights an ocean of pain. And suddenly there are hands on him and worried grey eyes and he wants to scream but his throat is already scraped raw.

We love QPR Vash/Meryl/Wolfwood, and we love stories that drop you into something and you have no idea what's going on. Such a good and interesting fic that drops ideas of what has happened, but also you're not totally sure, and it really puts you into Vash's head for the fic.

I Just Want To Slow Dance With You by easternCriminal

"Wolfwood swears at the radio, and then finally the static parts like the sands after a storm and the warm, slow sounds of a guitar comes out from over the dunes and fills the small room." oOo A soft domestic moment, inspired by Start Here by AsterAspera

Inspired by the fic above, a scene between Meryl and Nicholas (and Vash) as they try and figure out what their dynamic is now. Wonderfully domestic.

Rinse and Repeat by easternCriminal (@the-east-art)

Somehow, Meryl can head the monotone flatline of his heart. And she wakes up again on the road. Meryl starts to realize what is going on.

Time loop, time loop, time loop! Time loops where you're trying so despeartelyl to save someone! Time loops where you start realizing some sacrifices have to be made! Time loops that make you hate and love someone like you never have before!

Press my Corpse against the Wall by Rayawastaken

Meryl kept thinking back to Tonis, small and still so young in his mothers arms. She kept thinking about the fact that if she held onto him a bit stronger, if she had more conviction, he might still have both of his arms. And about how if she had any less of it, Wolfwood might have not woken back up again in that bar. Surely, getting a bit scratched up was worth saving someone’s life. But that’s not how Wolfwood saw it. To him, she’d forever be just some defenseless little thing that stumbled around helplessly and had to be protected. And for all that he complained about Vash having a self-sacrificial streak, he'd rather bleed out on the floor than admit he had needed help. - Wolfwood almost dies, Meryl saves him and gets hurt in the process. They have a fight about it.

I love Mashwood, but the dynamic between Wolfwood and Meryl is often under represented. I especially love this fic's exploration of the fact that Meryl, of the trio, is the most human and the position that puts her in a lot of the time.

CHANGING NATURE (‘TIS THE SEASON) by ainosyn (@tristamp-gunpede)

“How could anyone kill you without killing a part of themselves?” and “I can’t help it, it’s my nature.”

An exploration of all the different ways the story of Trigun could have gone, or could have been told, and about what is inherent to someone's nature. I love this, such a great character study of Knives and Vash.

Never understood a single word he said by aboxthecolourofheartache (@aboxthecolourofheartache)

Meryl drums her fingers on the steering wheel, and Wolfwood gets the sinking feeling of spotting bullshit at a hundred yarz and being unable to do anything about it. “Is it really buried treasure? I don’t believe you,” Meryl sniffs. “You’re stalling or something.” Vash’s lips curl up at the corner and, yes, there’s that mischievous little dimple that heralds doom. “Only one way to find out. If it is buried treasure, next night at a motel is on me. What do you say?" “Hot showers and everything?” Meryl squints at Vash sidelong, she the very picture of suspicion and he of innocence. “Cross my heart,” Vash vows, making a solemn X over his chest. ~~~ A detour turned nightmare, water from the rock, Three Dog Night, and unconventional gestures of trust.

MUST READ MUST READ MUST READ!!!! Best Trigun Fic I think I've ever read, with perfect characterization of Meryl, Vash, and Wolfwood that all feel distinct and accurate, a lot of fun interactions, and just a hint of the good good 'Vash isn't human' stuff I live for.

Psych

All We Are by jumpfall

"I want eyes on Spencer ten minutes ago!" Shawn thinks that maybe another hostage situation is just what they need to bring the team together again.

Love when you find a fic that captures the vibes of the canon so well! The team-as-family in psych is so good and fun, it's what makes it all worthwhile, you know? The characters in Psych are really good, and I'll be honest I live for the times that Shawn manages to actually be selfless and care about others.

the robbed that smiles steals something from the thief by EclipseWing (@shadow-of-the-eclipse)

That one in which Shawn is a con-artist, a liar and a thief.

Hell yeah, EclipseWing, all my homies love EclipseWing! This one is so fun! It's nice to see a Shawn who doesn't get into crime solving but still needs to find something to preoccupy him becoming a theif instead, it's so in person I love it!

Mob Psycho 100

Come Morning Light by NotHereForIt

Reigen is standing in a world that exists, but doesn't, in front of a house that is Mob's, but not, with a man that's dead, but isn't. In which Reigen thinks he's dreaming, and he very much is not.

Dream walking time, hell yeah! In which Reigen helps Mob through is dreams. Poor Mob has PTSD, but at least he's not alone.

knife trick by ruthwrites (@ruemilley)

There wasn’t a rule, exactly, that said that Ritsu wasn’t allowed to spend time with his brother. It was just something that was understood, like how Ritsu understood he wasn't supposed to press his hands along the sharp edges of his mother’s kitchen knives. (or: an age swap where only Mob and Reigen's ages are changed. Shigeo asks his little brother if he wants to walk him home after school. Ritsu should say no. Ritsu does not say no.)

The ending of this one sticks with me, ugh it's so good. Swap au's are so interesting, and I love the way it's done here, especially with Mob and Reigen being swapped, but Ritsu still being the same age.

citrus by orphan_account

He can just barely see Reigen pacing, purposefully quiet. He’s not smiling or laughing like he usually does on the phone. He looks sad. No, he looks upset. Shigeo doesn’t get a chance to wonder why before Reigen is walking back out, eyes carefully trained on his phone before he flips it shut. “Mob, we have a client to go to. I would have taken you home, but your parents aren’t there.” “Why would I have to go home?” Reigen goes quiet for a moment. “We aren’t dealing with a spirit.”

Reigen getting to deal with big problems through his job, and baby Mob learning important life lessons, what more do you need?

I know who I am when I'm alone by RedWritingHood

I'm something else when I see you. The world revolves around the suffering of Kageyama Shigeo. It fails to anticipate the determination of the Greatest Psychic Detective of the 21st Century.

In which Reigen is in Mogamiland and is as stubborn as a mule - even if he doesn't know what he's fighting against or for. A great moment of Reigen being able to comfort Mob - more or less. There are struggles that come with trying to accomplish that.

Undertale

Second Contact by Ononymous

To the participants, monumental days in history rarely feel very monumental when they wake up that morning. A young man at his summer job in the middle of nowhere was about to learn this the hard way.

I love this fic, of Asogre and Frisk meeting the first human outside of the Underground, told from outsider pov. It's a fun continuation of the story, and of how a poor service employee has to be the one to deal with the mess first.

What Little Monsters Are Made Of by Mangaluva

Nobody understands why you keep Flowey. You're not always sure why you do. But you found a way to save everybody else.

A story about love, and a story about believing in someone or something, and about how it's never too late. Post-Game, exploration of the relationship that builds between Flowey, Frisk, and the rest of the monsters over the years.

Kingdom Hearts

Scar Tissue - mimiplaysgames

Terra doesn’t remember certain things. He’s not in control. Even after everything they have been through, he still has the Guardian to contend with.

A little confusing to read sometimes, but super interesting look into after effects of having one's heart stuck in various places, and how it impact Terra without him even knowing it. At the end of the day, Terra is a guardian.

Umbra, Penumbra - end_alls

Roleswap where Vanitas is the one raised with care and compassion in the Land of Departure, and Ventus… is not

A fun and interesting role reversal. In general, the concept of 'too much light' is not explored enough in Kingdom hearts, so a fic that goes into how Ventus is left so incomplete without Vanitas is great.

Affecting Eternity - b-na_hime

One new Keyblade Master. Two new Keyblade wielders. Three thousand ways it could go horribly wrong���

Riku trying so hard to train Lea and Kairi when he's never been formally trained either. Great relationship building between them and how each of them feels about being a keyblade wielder.

reflections, refracted. - vvingblade (@vvingblade)

It's been ten years since then. Time has passed, and wounds are slowly healing. Ven thought he'd moved on, that the memories no longer bother him. All it takes is a single muddled spell to prove him wrong.

Ven has some serious PTSD and it rears its ugly head. Also, Ven can kick ass when he believes his life depends on it. Great Ven characterization that fleshes out Ven a bit more than he usually is.

Final Fantasy VII

The Fifth Act by Sinnatious

Cloud has an accident with a Time materia, and finds himself in the middle of the Wastes at the start of the Wutai War. There are people to save… and for that, there are three people who need to die.

My favorite time-travel fix-it for FFVII I've found so far. Good characterization, fun interactions, and I love how much it grapples with the question of 'should Sephiroth die, when he hasn't done anything'.

A Feather's Edge by Boomchick

Rescue arrives for Sephiroth while he is still a child. It arrives in the form of a blank-faced blonde-haired hero who cannot look at him; Who tends his wounds, and speaks kindly, but whose eyes are filled with hate and fear. If only Sephiroth knew the rules of this world outside the labs, maybe he could figure out how to stop making Cloud so angry...

An interesting look into, even if Sephiroth was saved, how messed up he is since childhood and how that impacts how he views people, sitautions, and relationships with other people. Kinda wish it was a little longer, but also I think it ends where it needs to end, if that makes sense. Really love Cloud trying to grapple with being a good adult for a child while battling his PTSD over said child.

In the Woods, Somewhere - DoveFanworks

On an ordinary day, two against one would hardly feel fair. But today was not an ordinary day, and Gods damn if this man wasn’t proving to be worth every bit of their combined effort. It was ludicrous. Unheard of. Before today, he would have thought it impossible. But somehow, someway, this man, this stranger who had come from out of nowhere, was fighting off two of the most powerful fighters in the world. At the same time.

Unresolved Time Travel au where Cloud takes on the three Firsts and kicks ass! I love how thought out the fight scenes are, taking into account the abilites of everyone involved and what they're capable of. Wonderfully orchestrated, wonderful to read.

Rebound - emrald_writes

Genesis knows the moment that they step into the little town that whatever it is plaguing them it isn’t a curse.

I Love fics that have surprisingly in depth worlds that makes you feel like you're looking into a world so much bigger and more thought out than you expected. Such an interesting magic system and a fun mystery to boot. I will say, the ending feels a little strange, but the rest most than makes up for it.

As They Bask in the Material World - Traxits

Every year, Reeve tours the outer reactors. This year, Veld is unable to escort him, so Tseng gets the job. It's just his luck that the car breaks down, and perhaps the best idea was not to spend the night in Cosmo Canyon…

Hi welcome to the beginning of the 'brownie falls in love with reeve' section of this. Anyway, great and interesting relationship between Reeve and Tseng, and EXTREMELY cool take on how young Reeve would react to Cosmo Canyon.

Before She Hangs Her Head to Cry - Traxits

Reeve had been reasonably certain that no one was in his office. It seemed like a logical assumption to make, given that he was not there and that no one short of the President had a key. One day, he would learn to stop assuming anything when he counted the Turks among his friends.

Not enough people talk about Reeve and kidnapping Marlene! Love the backstory that is hinted at for Reno here, getting to see Reeve's thoughts and such, and how Marlene's upbringing shows up throughout her actions. The characterization is just, *mwah*, beautiful.

Little Birds by katineto

Marlene's Papa is gone, and she is scared—or, the kidnapping, from Marlene's perspective.

Reeve is terrible with children. I love seeing Marlene's POV in the whole mess, trying to make sense of what is going on and feeling so scared.

Through Another's Eyes by CorsairOriginal

Elmyra Gainsborough had only wanted to live a life in peace, but war keeps coming to her door. She had only wanted her arrangement with Marlene Wallace to be temporary, but now that she's a part of Elmyra's life she has to face the consequences of that decision. Director Reeve Tuesti didn't choose to become a spy, but orders from President Rufus Shinra are not to be refused. He didn't choose to admire a group of renegades, but now that they're a part of his life he can't walk away so easily. ~ "Through Another's Eyes" is an in-depth view of the major notes of Reeve's story in Final Fantasy VII, starting from Marlene's abduction by Shinra to the end of the original game--rewriting some concepts and adding elements from the Compilation of FF7, including Before Crisis and FFVII Remake.

THE PINNACLE OF REEVE FICS. So so so good! Great relationship of Reeve with everybody, and how he deals with the events of FFVII. The moment at the end when he finally meets everyone? FUCK YEAH, that's what it's all about baby! Fic that got me hooked on the inspire!Reeve characterization.

I'm Fine - WinterEvenings

“Cloud!” His eyes snap open, but it doesn’t do much good. All he can see is darkness anyway. They were trapped. It was his fault. It was all his fault.

Cloud is so fucked up as far as priorities and his own health is concerned. it's terrible and wonderful at the same time. Gotta love a good dose of whump.

[bowyooo]

so i was thinking about married kimharry

i like when they get a double last name, it’s humongous. like imagine being called lieutenant-double yefreitor kitsuragi-du bois

and i headcanon that in the process of choosing the last name harry would suggest that kitsuragi-du bois sounds like a rank with an addition to it, similar to lieutenant-yefreitor and kim would laugh and ask how would one receive ’du bois’ title and harry would suggest something like ’by being very disco, it’s the honorable title for all crazy men’

i need to write a ficlet about it....

[limbobilbo]

If I see another piece of art of female harry where she looks sexy and cool I am going to steal something.

Harrier Du Bois looks like this

This man is a mess, his own mind literally can not figure out how old he is. As such if you are to draw lieutenant double-yefreitor harriet du bois she should look like a fucking mess.

Thank you.

[teddypoi-qd]

thinking abt harry meeting kim's boyfriend when theyre still in the "we can make mid distance work" stage and the bf being like "oh you must be Leiutenant Du Bois, Kim speaks highly of you!"

harry like. who is this. EDC failure. it's kim's partner. Authority. Hold on, YOU'RE kim's partner. pull rank on this upstart, NOW.

"lieutenant double-yefreitor, actually"

and just generally being So Possessive over His Partner until kim appears like "oh, i didn't know you were in jamrock today. hello." and smiles Warmly at him and empathy kicks in like OH. partner like.... Electrochemistry voice: like the homo-sexual kind. you're normal about this, harry boy.

[en-garte-au-cafe]

TLDR on what happened to Lieutenant double-yefreitor Du Bois and Lieutenant Kitsuragi; a man dressed as a Skink broke into Harry's apartment and started taunting him. He filled the apartment with some gas after stealing Harry's phone. He claimed that he 'turned Harry and Kim into copper'. He's currently in RCM custody and Jean is looking after the two because they're incredibly high.

Lol.

Perhaps now the detective will understand how it felt to have him at the Whirling.

Send Officer Vicquemare my condolences.

— Lawrence

P. S.— I am glad to hear they caught the man. I do hope the Lieutenant and… the detective recover soon. That is a dreadful violation of privacy.
