    Summary

    Safety was the chain on the apartment door and the deadbolt above it. Safety was the kettle on in the morning, the cheap one with the loose lid that rattled softly as it boiled. Safety was the folded blanket at the end of the couch, Emily’s socks drying on the radiator, the stack of coloring books someone from Victim Services had dropped off as if crayons were equal to the things the child had seen. Safety was the hall light left on through the night because Emily woke crying if the dark settled too completely in the corners.

    Safety was routine. Tea, toast, medicine, curtains half open. Questions asked gently. No sudden movements. No men in tactical gear. No bright white corridors. No gurneys. No rooms with drains in the floor.

    Grace kept arranging these little objects and habits around them as if she could build a wall from repetition.

    The wall held until the thirteenth morning.

    Summary

    Below, Wesker moved like water. He didn’t dodge so much as flow a fraction out of its path, his hand snapping up to strike the underside of its jaw. Bone cracked. The head snapped sideways—but the beast recovered instantly, claws swiping with blades the length of butcher knives.

    Claire cursed and slung the rifle aside. She pulled both pistols, bracing them on the balcony rail. The muzzles flared in alternating rhythm, her fire stitching across its flanks, forcing it to track her as much as Wesker. Every shot was another half-second stolen for him to reposition.

    “Oh, sure, why not make it bulletproof,” she muttered, firing anyway.

    Summary

    What if the events of Resident Evil 1 and 2 never happened in 1998?

    A Christmas party at the RPD, one too many drinks, and a very bad idea. Claire Redfield and her brother’s Captain share stolen beers, stolen glances, and a kiss that absolutely should not happen, especially not in his office. Flirty, festive, and full of interruptions.
