    Summary

    He was on parole, he could not confront his watcher. With utmost politeness, Luocha paid for the parasol and laid it delicately against his shoulder. Given that the Luofu had already made a prisoner of him, they would not see one more elegant, more courteous, more correct than him.

    A breeze blew his long strands of hair back into the sunlight, teasing the sun.

    The sun that was the gaze brighter than the day.

    It scorched his back when his eyes were averted. Not even the parasol could shield him from it.

    In return for medical services rendered during the Ambrosial Arbour crisis, General Jing Yuan lets Luocha out on temporary parole. Luocha uses this chance to continue seeking the secret to immortality and resurrection, but much to his irritation, he finds the general’s devil-may-care behaviour very distracting.

    Summary

    The merchant Luocha is a regular visitor to the General's personal chambers, often spending some time there for good reasons, those reasons are just as important to him as to Jing Yuan.

    “What did the general guess this time?”

    “Ten thousand catties of ambergris silk.”

    Luocha’s smile widened, barely, just a curled notch at the tips of his lips, somewhat adoring but not in love - but sincere admiration given to his bed partner.

    “Have you calculated the next thirty-three moves I intend to do?”

    Summary

    The accused person had made a cot out of three chairs and was asleep with his coat over his head. He sat up as Jing Yuan entered.

    Jing Yuan sized him up. He actually was about the right height according to Dan Heng’s description. His hair, bleached blonde and cropped to chin length, framed a clean, cat-like face and exceedingly sharp eyes. He still had his lab coat on, but underneath it, he was dressed in a silk shirt and slacks.

    In short, he looked quite elegant, young enough to take his fashion tips from trendy social medias, and not at all like a criminal.

    Jing Yuan, a late 30s veteran raising his ex's child, becomes acquainted with Luocha, overworked postdoc who has been accused of wrongdoing.

    Summary

    Dan Heng could not pinpoint the exact time when the newcomer had burrowed beneath his skin, could not say what had been the final crack in the shell he wore as armour around his person, could not say what had allowed Caelus to sneak in underneath it. 

    He could not say what changed, nor when it happened. But it did. Caelus was burrowing into his skin, not unlike the plagues of propagation, digging deeper and deeper, devouring him from the inside, and he'd been none the wiser; oblivious and unaware, save for the weird feeling in his chest whenever the other smiled at him. (Dan Heng had heard of butterflies in the stomach before, but this was more akin to ants crawling all over his insides.)

    Dan Heng realised none of this until he stood frozen in place, Caelus plummeting towards the ground from the top of the Engine of Creation, a giant blade made of crystallised ice piercing his chest.

    Or: Five times Caelus got hurt, and Dan Heng could do nothing, and the one time he swore to prevent it from ever happening again.

    Summary

    Both praised and scolded for his performance in Penacony, Aventurine re-negotiates his employment. He quits. --- Kind of.

    And if there was ever any benefit to the job in the first place, it was the beautiful wonders of money. The excess of material goods he could give away, the games he could play, and the gamble of keeping his relationships as close but as far away as possible. What happens if he tugs on the rope tying together him and Ratio as "coworkers?" What happens if he pulls on that chain that ties him to the IPC? What if, after everything, Kakavasha could do something worthwhile?

    OR

    Aventurine and Ratio play a game together: how long can they give each other gifts until they have to acknowledge the meaning? How long can they play games with each other's (and their own) feelings before someone loses?

    Summary

    "Forgive me, Lord Phainon, I can't help but be curious. How could you possibly not know that Lord Mydei has been your spouse for... four months?"

    "To be honest, Miss Castorice, I haven't the slightest idea."

    Through a series of events that may or may not have involved a Kremnoan courting ritual, Phainon had somehow managed to ask for Mydei's hand in marriage.

    For some reason, Mydei said yes.

    Summary

    The boy at the bar looks strangely familiar.

    Adam thinks so too, from the way he keeps looking over. There’s something about the lines of him—his long brown hair that looks so unwashed, the tears in his jeans, the hunch of his shoulders—and the way he spins an unlit cigarette in the hand that isn’t holding his whiskey glass, it just keeps pinging off John’s mind. “Do you know him?” Adam hesitates.

    “You’re not going to believe me.” Just then the guy turns in his barstool and John catches a glimpse of his left arm, and.

    Summary

    Vic frowns. Usually there would at least be a rustle or a sleep-heavy noise at the sound of his voice, some sign that he’s not alone in his bed. With great effort, he forces his eyes open in a squint, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. It takes a moment for his vision to focus, but as soon as it does, his veins run cold with terror.

    Kellin is missing.

    Someone has taken Kellin in the night. Vic is going to get him back, whatever it takes.

    You Won't Look Back
    by xobarriers

    John’s not feeling particularly brave, but he is feeling more in love than he’s ever been, and he thinks maybe the two are close enough to be identical when it really matters.
