summary: Desire; the root of all evil.

Someone is coveting Kaitou Kid and will go to any lengths to procure him. In the backdrop of this chilling tale, blossoms resiliently a tale of love.

The first time Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi come face to face, sparks fly—sparks of intense suspicion.

Shinichi: Yes, that man is my primary suspect for the murders—no, not thievery, murder, I said!

Kaito: Chat, I’m being stalked, need advice—what do you mean “doesn’t count if he’s a detective”, it’s still stalking!

Or, in which Kaito and Shinichi have the most disastrous first meeting possible, in the midst of a horror-murder-mystery that is their life, but sparks somehow still manage to fly.

Pairings: Jon/Martin, Jon & Martin & Tim & Sasha

“Oh, uh, no, sorry, I was just wondering if- if you needed anything else? Biscuits, or help transporting anything?” Martin gave another flash of a nervous smile. This was normal behaviour, Martin was behaving normally.

Jon shook his head, but he did pick up the mug of tea, which Martin counted as a win. “No, Martin, all I need is your research on cases #0121102 and #0112905. Thank you very much,” Jon said primly, taking a sip of the tea.

His face promptly scrunched up. His eyebrows knit together, he drew up his nose in disgust, and the twist of his mouth couldn’t be interpreted as anything except utter distaste.

Martin was ecstatic.

He watched with hidden glee as Jon struggled to swallow the small mouthful of tea he had drunk. It must have hurt to swallow that much salt. Martin had waited and stirred the tea until the salt was fully dissolved. God, Jon’s face. This was better than he imagined.

Okay, act normal.

“Oh my god, Jon, is something wrong?! What just happened?” Martin asked, maybe laying the concern on a little thick.

Jon spluttered, confused for a moment before glaring at Martin, “What happened is your bloody tea’s-”

Time to sell it.

“The tea?” Martin said, cutting Jon off quickly. He swiped the mug from Jon’s desk, took a swig and swallowed it. God that was awful. He’d need to wash his mouth out after this. “What’s wrong with it? It tastes fine.”

as an adamant lover of bitchy martin, the thought of tea revenge came to me one day and i decided it needed a whole fic about it

@franzis-frantic-thoughts

Writing a fic for this BB myself wasn’t enough responsibility, so here I am adding my opinion to others’ works.

are you buried treasure? (because digging into you and your secrets is my idea of a good time)

author: @vanroesburg artist: @kaydeegiraffe rating: T warnings: no warnings apply summary: Finally, he happened upon disaster guy. On the ground. Facedown. Oh fuck. Kaito wasn’t going to be involved in the second murder case of the day, was he?! He could not afford that happening! Kaito was a criminal, but he wasn’t that kind of criminal, and he certainly wasn’t following this guy to kill him! In fact, he would say he was concerned for his safety! AKA Kaito picks up Conan at Tropical Land. Somehow things don’t go too badly.
