A/N: I'm surprised how much Kal'tsit's popularity has exploded, despite only existing within the story. Probably because of the idea that she's the Doctor's (ex-)wife.

On another note, I've been giving a longer-term Arknights fic a think for the past few weeks - I mentioned it briefly before, and pondered the idea in a Hololive fic's notes; mixing Arknights with the old The Gamer-style system, with a few tweaks of my own.

I've got a rough outline of it and I might end up giving it a shot once Whispers of Saturn is over with. Granted it'll take a few months until I'm satisfied with it enough to release it, but hopefully by that point there'll be at least 10~ chapters written, so the wait'll be worthwhile. Though considering the project will likely be longer than Whispers of Saturn, I have my own personal doubts about being able to finish such a long series - but, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, eh? Better to try and fail than not try at all.

Ramblings aside, enjoy~

Make You Remember

Memory loss was an odd thing.

When he first awoke in Chernobog his mind was empty and clear, not a single thought reverberating around his skull. When he was introduced to Amiya and the others he got little flashes in his mind; fleeting memories of who they were, but never enough to determine his relation with them and more importantly, who he was before he lost his memories. It didn't help that many referred to him as 'Doctor' and seemed insistent on it, leaving only a scarce few aware of his true identity, and those that were refused to tell him. All on Kal'tsit's orders.

'Why though?' The Doctor wondered, his footsteps quiet as he wandered down the long halls of Rhodes Island, heading straight for the green-haired woman's office.

He didn't know what reasons she had to hide his identity, and he wanted to know them. In the past she had just brushed him off, saying that it was better to let things progress naturally lest the sudden burst of information triggered a relapse or something – but he had a feeling that was more an excuse than a true reason. His instincts told him there was more to the story.

Dimly he glanced back over his shoulder, making sure he wasn't being followed. If Kal'tsit did have a reason for keeping his real identity secret then he didn't want anyone overhearing, not even Amiya – though the demure bunny-girl clearly knew as well. He just didn't have the heart to force the answer out of her; she clearly looked up to him greatly, and he'd hate to ruin that by acting like a desperate man.

''Hah...'' The Doctor sighed behind his mask, ascending the set of stairs that led to his fellow doctor's room – the door located at the end of the short hall, two labs on either side of the hall that were barely visible through the frosted glass.

He had just reached her door and was raising his hand to knock – when the door swung open inwards, revealing the unamused visage of Kal'tsit.

''What do you want?'' Her tone wasn't cold, but it was certainly displeased.

Still, he held his ground. ''Sorry for bothering you, Doctor Kal'tsit. I wanted to ask you some things... in private.''

Kal'tsit stared at him for a long, long moment – before breathing a deep sigh, stepping aside. ''Very well. Come in.''

The Doctor dipped his head slightly and obeyed, stepping inside. The door locked shut behind him near-instantly but he paid it no mind, his gaze roaming over Kal'tsit's office – the silver-white interior polished to a clean shine so intense it could make a surgeon jealous. Counters with numerous drawers lined the room and a large table was in the centre of the square room, the projector above said table allowing it to be used either as a work table, a medical table or even a holographic map. He always wanted to call it overkill; had he not done that before, and got a flat stare from Kal'tsit for his efforts.

His eyes slid over to the aforementioned woman, watching her idly shift some papers around on one of the counter-tops – two half-empty coffee mugs sitting next to it alongside a few small trinkets that she had clearly been working on. As if sensing his gaze she looked back at him and raised a brow in silent question, gesturing for him to speak his piece.

''How do I get my memories back?'' He got to the point immediately.

Kal'tsit huffed quietly, looking back at the papers. ''I've told you before, Doctor, letting them come back to you naturally is the best and healthiest course of action. Have some patience.''

He wasn't discouraged. ''Why?''

''...I don't believe you capable of understanding the intricacies of cerebral biology.'' Kal'tsit countered, tone even.

The Doctor grimaced and was about to try and argue more – when she continued.

''Though if I may ask... why are you so insistent on recovering your memories?''

He paused for only a moment, looking down. ''...to remember everyone. Amiya, Dobermann... Ace... and, you too. You all knew me, but I don't know you... and I want to. I want to regain all the lost time we spent together, all the good and the bad. Even if it might be painful, I want to know. I need to know.''

Kal'tsit was silent for a long few seconds, her back turned to him. Slowly she shifted around to face him, her expression distinctly stoic but her green eyes failing to hide the growing indecision that was warring inside her – giving him hope that he was getting through to her, that she would understand. A hope that she swiftly crushed.

''...there is no natural way besides time, to bring your memories back.'' She stated simply, her even tone taking on a stiff, stilted edge. ''Please don't make me repeat myself, Doctor-''

''There has to be another way!'' He cut her off; taking her hand and squeezing it – conveying the desperation he felt. ''Please, Kal'tsit. You're a genius. You have to know.''

Kal'tsit stared up at him in surprise, her eyes wide for the first time he had ever seen. Her lips moved but she made no sound, almost-cutely stunned, before she seemed to snap out of it and looked aside – though didn't pull her hand out of his grip. Instead she chewed her bottom lip, thinking hard; and her shoulders almost-unnoticeably sagged.

''...there is a way...'' The medic said in a slow voice, her green eyes flickering back up to meet his. ''Though if you are willing to endure it, is another question.''

''Anything.'' He murmured, squeezing her hand. ''I'll do anything.''

Kal'tsit hummed quietly, her right hand sliding up his chest until she was cupping his face-mask – and with a click she undid the mechanisms holding it there, pulling it off his face. Her gaze took on a softer edge, the delicateness in her eyes almost startling him with how sharp a contrast it was; the warm shine so drastically different to the cold hardness usually present.

So distracted by the swirling emotions in her eyes he didn't notice he shift closer to him, her lithe hand stroking up his jawline until her fingertips curled around the hinge of his jaw. ''...you persistent idiot...''

He opened his mouth to speak – and was utterly unprepared for Kal'tsit to yank him down, and crash their lips together. The sudden lip-lock was rough but passionate, her small pink lips wonderfully soft against his own, the taste of coffee still present and enticing him to kiss her back, something inside him compelling him to rest his hands on her lower back. Kal'tsit twitched at his touch and reluctantly leaned into it, deepening the fiery kiss for several long seconds until the need for air forced her back, sucking in a quick gasp of air.

''Hah... hah...'' Kal'tsit licked her lips, leaning back against the desk behind her. ''We were close, before you were forced to be put in cryo-sleep...''

As she spoke she traced his ring finger, triggering something in his mind – a brief memory flashing through his mind. Of a silver wedding band with a jade inside it.

''...powerful stimuli, combined with familiar sensations...'' Kal'tsit continued in a low murmur, unaware of his internal thoughts. ''...that should be enough, for you to remember. If you truly wish to remember who you were, then I'll help you.''

The Doctor swallowed, squeezing her hand almost reflexively. ''Please.''

''...hmph.'' Kal'tsit huffed softly, leaning in – a slight, almost-tender smirk twitching at the corners of her lips.

Then in a heartbeat she darted up, connecting their lips in another rough kiss. The Doctor was slightly more prepared this time but that wasn't saying much, shuddering as the slightly-shorter woman easily dominated the kiss. It felt so familiar that he couldn't help but kiss her back, their lips meshing together with strange familiarity and enticing him to deepen the kiss, his hand leaving hers as he wrapped his arms around her back.

Kal'tsit replied by snaking her arms up and around his neck, growling softly into the kiss. She broke the kiss off for air and he immediately reignited the kiss the moment he could, groaning into her mouth as he pushed himself against her – forcing Kal'tsit to tilt her head back to keep the kiss going, her nails digging into the back of his neck. The slight pain aroused him more than it hurt him, something familiar bubbling in his chest.

''Mn... that's it...'' Kal'tsit breathed against his lip – biting down on his bottom lip not a second later, forcing a groan from his throat.

Despite being pushed up against the desk Kal'tsit was the one controlling the flow; her lips roughly meshing against his own with almost-wild passion. He had never seen even a hint of such passion before and he was quickly becoming addicted to it, kissing her back with equal fierceness. Memories flashed through his mind as their lips smacked together; hazy images of Kal'tsit beneath him, her expression contorted in pleasure as he moved his hips, her head thrown back and mouth wide open, her messy hair clinging to her sweaty forehead.

The memory was gone by the next kiss, yet it filled him with a burning desire – eager to see her make such an expression again. His hands went to the strap around her collar and hastily unfastened it, eliciting a hot groan from Kal'tsit as the velcro came loose; causing her oversized jacket to fall off and hit the floor with a muted thump. Her slim shoulders and smooth arms were laid bare to him, the black straps of her green dress looping over her shoulders alluringly.

''Bold...'' Kal'tsit murmured against his lips, sucking on his bottom lip – before retreating, and burying her face into his neck instead.

The Doctor groaned as her lips attached themselves to his jugular, her teeth grazing the sensitive skin. At the same time her own hands left his neck and slid down to his jacket, rapidly undoing each button with practiced ease one by one until his jacket spilled open – allowing the medic to run her hands up and under his shirt, dragging her nails up his chest. He groaned into her ear and she replied by sucking harshly on his skin, the pleasurable sensation sending shivers through him.

Swallowing his nerves he grasped the back of her head, pulling Kal'tsit back. She met his gaze for a split-second before he dove in, crashing their lips together in a clumsy but heated kiss; earning an approving groan from the medic as she kissed him back. His hands dropped to the buttons of her dress, his fingers fumbling to get the tiny buttons out the cloth holes, repeatedly failing as her dress shifted with her subtle movements.

Kal'tsit chuckled against his lips. ''You always... had such difficulty with this dress...''

The medic slipped her hands out of his shirt and laid them over his, pulling his hands of her dress – before doing it herself, her slimmer fingers easily fitting into the holes and allowing her to undo the scarce few buttons keeping her dress closed. In seconds they came undone and her dress spilled open, revealing her smooth stomach.

Kal'tsit flushed as his gaze intensified, glancing aside as she pulled her dress open fully; revealing her plain green bra and panties, her medium-sized breasts fitting perfects into the cups. Despite the plain design they fitted her lithe frame perfectly, her panties hugging her hips nicely and her bra emphasising her slight cleavage; the demure tilt of her head making the medic seem infinitely more cute than normal.

''...are you just going to stare?'' Kal'tsit quietly questioned, demureness giving way to arousal.

The Doctor replied by leaning in, capturing her lips in another kiss – and grabbing her ass. Kal'tsit groaned in surprise at his boldness, her jade eyes fluttering shut as she immediately gave into the kiss; sliding her lithe arms back around his neck. He fondled and squeezed her panty-clad ass with fiery passion, feeling her soft skin barely hidden beneath the fabric; prompting him to slide his hands down to her smooth thighs or up to her lower back, groping and touching wherever his hands went.

His hands soon slid further up her back, working their way up until he reached the back of her bra – eagerly fumbling with the strap. It only took him a short few seconds but it felt so much longer when he was making out with her, all but ripping the latch open when he gripped it right. Kal'tsit shuddered and helpfully wiggled her shoulders, loosening her bra enough that he could easily grab the front and pull it off her.

''Haah...!'' He retreated from the kiss swiftly, sucking in a breath and gazing down – soaking in the sight of her exposed breasts. Round and soft-looking, and tipped with pink nipples that had grown perky with arousal.

Kal'tsit was halfway through opening her mouth to speak when both his hands darted in, groping her soft-looking tits. Instantly her words were replaced by a surprised moan, hot pleasure flooding her visage as his fingers sunk into her skin. He squeezed her boobs and rolled them around, quickly becoming addicted to the feel of her breasts and only growing more eager by the second; extracting more lustful groans from Kal'tsit as he pleasured her.

The medic wasn't wholeheartedly submissive however; her right hand dropping down and palming his crotch. The Doctor shuddered at her touch but didn't stop fondling her chest, kissing her passionately as she ran her fingers up and down his clothed cock, tracing the shape of his shaft with clear experience. Even more memories flashed in his mind, of Kal'tsit using her hands or mouth to please him, gazing up at him with big green eyes as she bobbed her head, anticipation glistening in her pupils.

''Mn...'' He groaned at the memory, his lips parting.

Kal'tsit took advantage immediately, shoving her tongue into his mouth. He didn't resist; pushing his tongue against hers and wrestling with it, the taste of coffee still lingering on her tongue as the appendages squirmed against each other. Her palming grew more intense as she pleasured him, going as far as pushing her palm against his crotch and rubbing, sending sparks of arousal through his swelling shaft.

''Hah... hah.. Doctor...'' Kal'tsit breathed between kisses, her free hand gripping his shirt.

Instinct compelled him to act and he trusted it, crashing their lips together in yet another fiery kiss. He groped her boobs and pushed his crotch against hers, eliciting a pleased moan from Kal'tsit as he started grinding their lower parts together, the gentle pressure making the green-haired woman shudder. Blindly she fumbled with his zipper before pulling it down, allowing his hard cock to spring out into the open; and making her jade eyes gleam with reawakened lust.

Without hesitation he acted, pressing his cock against her green panties and grinding against her – forcing a mutual moan from their lips as erotic sparks teased them both. He did it more aggressively, rolling his hips and sliding his length along her clothed pussy, enticing Kal'tsit to grind back against him; her breathing growing heavier as they rubbed against each other.

''M-Mm...'' Kal'tsit shuddered, audibly swallowing. ''More...''

He silenced her with a kiss, devouring her lustful groan. His right hand left her breast and went down to her ass, groping her rear as he kept grinding against her. She replied by cupping the tip of his cock and started palming it; alternating between gentle squeezing or rubbing small circles with her palm, shooting quivering jolts of pleasure down his girth, and enticing him to thrust his cock into her palm.

A burst of lust shot through him and his left hand dropped to her ass too; picking her up. Kal'tsit had a split-second to gasp before he kissed her, pushing her down onto the table and dominating her mouth, forcing a hot groan from her throat. She bit his bottom lip but he replied he squeezing her ass roughly, causing her to wrap her slim legs around his waist; pulling his cock flush against her panty-clad pussy.

''Hah~'' Kal'tsit's warm breath tickled his lips as they broke apart, panting. ''Doctor... inside...''

The Doctor shivered, refusing to show how aroused her words made him. ''Are you su-''

She dug her nails into his shoulders. ''Are you going to fuck me or not?''

The way she growled her words sent a thrilling rush through him, and without missing a beat he complied – reaching down between their flushed bodies and pulling her panties aside. Kal'tsit cheeks warmed but the intense heat in her jade eyes didn't leave, anticipation bubbling inside them as he pushed his cock up against her hot folds, her pussy lips slick with evident arousal.

Memories touched his mind just as he lined up with her womanhood, vividly remembering their first time together in his bedroom, how tight she was when he first entered her. The memory left but he didn't forget it, purposefully pushing the tip between her folds slowly – and with a gentle roll of his hips, he entered her.

''Mn... ah...'' Kal'tsit shuddered, her head tipping backwards – unadulterated pleasure flooding her face. ''Yes... f-finally...''

The Doctor shivered and kept pushing, his hands flying to her hips and pulling her towards him. His cock sunk easily into her womanhood, her inner walls tightly constricting his length as he eased himself inside her with intentional slowness. Her slim legs tightened their hold on his waist and he gritted his teeth, resisting the inviting urge to simply bury his cock deep inside her hot tightness, to fill her with a single thrust and watch her writhe beneath him.

He leaned down and brushed his lips against her jaw, prompting Kal'tsit to tilt her head down – a hot groan escaping her throat as she smashed her lips against his, the rough kiss eliciting a grunt from him. In response he slid his right hand up to her breast and started playing with it; rolling it around or squeezing it, causing her inner walls to tighten around his cock repeatedly. The pleasurable sensation send waves of tingling warmth down his shaft, enticing him to rock his hips a little faster.

''Mn...'' Kal'tsit's lips broke off from his, gazing intently up at him. ''Move.''

The Doctor complied, rearing his hips back until just the tip was inside her womanhood – before plunging straight back inside her wetness. Kal'tsit spasmed and gasped, her back arching slightly as a jolt of raw pleasure lanced up her spine, enticing him to thrust again, then again; each strong thrust making the beautiful medic gasp or twitch with pleasure.

Slowly his thrusts picked up speed, lust bubbling inside him. His hands returned to her smooth hips and he settled into a quick rhythm, plunging in and out her wetness repeatedly and coating his cock in her honey, allowing him to pump his dick even deeper inside the moaning woman. Kal'tsit helped by rocking her hips, willingly impaling herself on his throbbing shaft and easing herself onto his cock, more of his length disappearing between her pussy lips until their pelvises finally touched.

''O-Ohh~'' Kal'tsit bit her lip hard, pulling him flush against her and running her nails down his back. ''Keep going... k-keep going...''

He gladly obliged, unable to stifle his groan of pleasure as Kal'tsit tightened around him – bucking his hips faster and faster by the second. The tip of his cock hit her deepest parts over and over again, repeatedly stuffing her pussy full to the brim with his shaft and earning a slew of hot moans from the medic, her voice tickling his ear and her nails running ragged down his back, clawing at him like a cat in heat.

An idea struck him and he acted on it, slowing his thrusts to a stop. Kal'tsit broke off the kiss and gazed at him in confusion, something approaching lustful indignation crossing her visage – before he groped her ass, and picked her up. Her green eyes widened and she gasped, clutching onto him and tightly wrapping her legs around his waist lest she fall; cutely biting her bottom lip as she sunk all the way down his cock.

''Kal'tsit...''

''W-Wha- Mm~!'' The medic moaned as he claimed her lips in a fiery kiss, the aggressiveness so familiar it turned the cat-woman into putty.

With instinctual passion the Doctor bucked his hips, plunging into Kal'tsit and devouring her hot groans, pulling her up and down his cock in tandem with his thrusts. The medic gasped and moaned into his mouth, rocking his hips as best she could as he fucked her – pleasure bubbling inside their connected parts as she slid along his pulsating shaft.

The Doctor shuddered as burning pleasure teased his cock, pulling Kal'tsit down his shaft faster. She tightened around him in tandem with his thrusts, her honey trickling down his girth as both of them neared their limits; kissing in sporadic bursts that ended more sloppy than not. Neither cared in that instant, their pelvises smacking together as he drove her deep down his cock, hitting her deepest parts over and over again in a fit of mad desire.

''D-Don't stop, don't s-stop...!'' Kal'tsit's voice rose to a heated whisper, the smack of their lips barely muffling her words. ''Yes... y-yes...! D-Doct- Mmph~!''

With a hot, barely-muffled moan Kal'tsit finally climaxed – crashing their lips together as she orgasmed on his cock.

The sudden tightness around his shaft was too much for the Doctor, gasping into her mouth as he blindly bucked his hips, thrusting into her womanhood several times – before unloading ropes of cum deep inside his former wife, painting her insides white with each hot rope of seed.

''Mm... haah... hah...'' Kal'tsit broke off the kiss and leaned back, gasping in gulps of air. ''Ah... g-gods...''

The Doctor groaned in agreement, his knees trembling as he carried the green-haired woman over to the nearest chair and collapsed down onto it, leaving her in his lap. Kal'tsit shivered but didn't lift her hips, savouring the sensation of him being inside her after so long; cum dribbling out her stuffed pussy from how much he came inside.

For a long minute, silence reigned aside from their panting. Until Kal'tsit tenderly leaned in and kissed him; her lips gently pressing against his in such a way he couldn't help but kiss her back, soft groans escaping both of them when he twitched inside her sensitive pussy.

Kal'tsit pulled back from the kiss slowly, expression demure. ''...so, do you remember now?''

Staring up into the medic's soft green eyes, he was hit by a final flashback – of standing by an alter with the same green-eyed woman clad in a beautiful white wedding dress, her blindingly-bright smile seeming to glow from the purity it gave off. And in the hazy memory, a single sentence reverberated through his mind.

''...and do you swear to take her as your lawfully-wedded wife?''

''I do.''

Kal'tsit's visage blossomed with a familiar, oh-so-rare blinding smile – before she claimed his lips in a deep kiss brimming with long-dormant love.
