Fics like foolish as I am, follow my lead

Laurent may have figured out he was in love a little earlier, but the process wasn’t easy. It went a little something like this. (Or: a character study through cases, only it's never really about the cases at all. ) This is a companion piece to Like the Waters I Cannot Drink through the eyes of Laurent, unpacking some moments leading up to the events in that story that went over Makoto’s head. Please read that one first, it sets up the cases revisited here! This is a slightly darker/more intense take on the mutual pining— putting the burn in slow burn— and not as much of a romcom as the first story, but thanks to that one you already know they figure it out in the end.
