Summary
Pre-Martinaise, Harry had just been dumped by Jean after an ill-advised and toxic affair of six months. Now, as Harry returns to life in Jamrock, Jean is tasked with explaining to his partner what happened between them and who they are to each other — all while reconstituting Harry's task force under the leadership of the 41st's newest lieutenant, Kim.
Kim, Jean and Harry head back to Martinaise after tensions flare between the Union and the RCM, and the three of them work to subvert corporate and Coalition interference in the region while Jean and Harry rediscover their feelings for each other.

Summary
Jean laughs. “You’ve always outranked me. You were late to the force, but you’re ten years older than I am, and you were a psychopath about getting promoted. I couldn’t keep up with you. I rode your coattails, and then the ride ended, and I started cleaning up your mess instead. I’ll be a Satellite-Officer until one of us dies.”
RHETORIC: There’s a bittersweetness to the way he says this. This is the closest to marriage that he’s ever wanted to get.

Summary
Three hundred years ago – with the birth of this isola – a countdown began. Slowly ticking. An hourglass with sand borrowed from a future that will never exist. Like a tear through time, a hole to compensate for all that is not supposed to be here yet.
The problem does not lie within the silence of the church. It lies within us.
Human consciousness.
Maybe the presence of a simple priest is what’s holding the world together. The low whisper of continuous prayer like bolts in the substance of humanity.
--
Jean Vicquemare is a dolorian priest in Martinaise, battling with unwanted desires while simultaneously dealing with the porch collapse at his literal doorstep. Harry bumps right into Jean's carefully balanced temperance with the grace of a drunk bumblebee.
