Chapter 1 - Trap Detection
Chapter 1 - Trap Detection
“What the hell are you reading that for?”
Steve glances up as Robin leans over the counter to look at the cover of Kali’s book.
“Not that it’s your business, but I’m studying it in class and I thought I could do with some more in-depth reading-”
Robin reaches out and yanks the book from Kali’s hands, tossing it over her shoulder and into the trash, “Bleh, yuck,” she shares a disgusted look with Steve, or tries to, because he just shrugs in response.
“I’d appreciate you not damaging my property, thank you,” Kali says and fishes the book back out, “And what’s it to you? What have you got against soulmates?”
“Got to say, I’m not a fan of delusional crap like that. It’s like horoscopes, right? It’s all made up.”
Kali laughs, “You think it’s made up?”
“I know it is,” she says back, “It’s all bullshit stuff made up to get you to buy crappy books like that one.”
“And all the movies? All the literature? Classical art and plays based around soulmates? Romeo and Juliet?”
“Come on, Kali, don’t tell me you actually buy into this shit.”
Kali shakes her head, “I suppose you think that Jane being able to locate people is also bullshit? Or how about the Upside Down? Or /my/ abilities? You’ve seen it all yourself.”
“Yeah but that’s different.”
“Is not.”
“It is, because I’ve actually seen it for myself.”
“Fifty percent of the human population sees their soulmate strings, as well as /others/, and you really don’t believe it?”
Robin rolls her eyes, nudging Steve, “What about you? You believe in soulmates?”
Steve shrugs again, “I mean… yeah.”
Robin laughs, dropping back into hysterics and then collecting herself when she realizes he’s not laughing with her, “Wait, are you serious?”
“Well, yeah.”
“Well, you’re an idiot.”
“I am,” Steve agrees easily, smiling sadly back at her, “But I can also see my soul strings, so… of course I believe in it.”
Robin sobers entirely at that, “Wait, what?”
“I believe it’s real.”

Hey I've just finished reading The Poetry Killer and see that the next part is unfinished. Have you abandoned this fic or do you think you'll continue it one day? The first two parts are so incredibly good I think I could read stories for this 'verse forever :)
The final part of it isn’t complete but it does kind of.... have a sort of semi-conclusive last chapter that I posted. I want to fully complete it, maybe one day.
You know, every so often I think I should update my pirated copy of CS2.
Then I see things like this, and remember that I don't need it more than I need it, you know?
