Summary
' "You trust me, don’t you?” Dan Feng’s other hand found Yingxing’s other arm and the distance between them grew ever lesser.
“...With my very soul,” Yingxing replied softly. “But you really can’t tell me anything?”
Dan Feng’s expression grew complicated, his eyes falling. “It… is necessary for Baiheng’s revival. Absolutely and irrefutably.” '
A.K.A. The results of my extreme lore-diving into how exactly Yingxing became Blade.

Summary
'Fate was a twisted, twisted thing.
He wondered for a moment, Blade’s corpse gradually turning cold in his arms, what might have happened if Blade had never been cursed with mara.
He would have died as Yingxing, died to Jingliu’s sword as punishment for the crimes he committed with Dan Feng.
But what if he’d managed to survive somehow, managed to still meet Dan Heng? What if they’d managed to break past Dan Feng’s legacy, managed to cultivate a bond that didn’t hinge on sins of the past?
It was a preposterous, delusional notion. One that probably never would have even been possible.
Perhaps it was even similar to the catastrophic train of thought that led to Yingxing’s death in the first place.
But Dan Heng liked the idea of it all the same.
And he hated that he liked it.'
A.K.A. Blade is a little more sane than usual and Dan Heng is too gay for his own good.

Summary
'They’d already done it once, Dan Heng was more than willing to do it again.
Granted, the first time had been on a bed rather than under the half-roof of a hollow cliff with a rock still digging painfully into his shoulder, but he was sure it would be fine.
Blade was a little more aggressive, a little less restrained this time, but knowing him, Dan Heng doubted he’d been holding back too much more when they’d done this the first time.'
A.K.A. Dan Heng and the Express Crew split up while on a mission, the Stellaron Hunters show up, Blade is mara-struck, and Dan Heng is still too gay for his own good.
