    Summary

    Wei Wuxian appeared beside them. He took in the sight of A-Ning’s corpse in her arms. He might have said something or he might have remained silent. Wen Qing couldn’t really think straight anymore. She felt as if she was being ripped apart from the inside.

    She lost consciousness.

    A moment later, Wen Qing shuddered awake again. She wasn’t inside the ravine any longer. She still wore the same set of robes, but somehow, they were completely dry. She was back in Yunmeng. Her brother was still alive somewhere out there.


    Trapped inside a time loop, Wen Qing has one mission: succeed in keeping her brother alive. If along the way she gains a second brother, well.

    Summary

    Jon has had The Conversation with a grand total of five people so far. Four out of five times, it ended the relationship immediately. One time, it was only one out of many factors that ended the relationship further down the line.

    It stands to reason then that the problem lies not with his – partners –, but with him.

    That’s okay. Jon has made his peace with that. He doesn’t need to – he’s fine. He’s fine.

    So what happens when Martin asks him out?

    Summary

    And then Jon is snarling into his face, demanding what are you hiding with a strange, bright-eyed intensity Martin has never seen from him before, and Martin thinks god, maybe he should just come clean about his CV, Jon thinking he's a fraud can't be any worse than Jon thinking he's a murderer-

    Martin opens his mouth to speak. To his absolute horror, what actually comes out is: "I used to pretend to cry because I liked how nice you were to me when you thought I was upset!"

    Summary

    “This is the Magnus Institute, not a creative writing course at university. If that doesn’t agree with him, he can leave.” There was a thud and the sound of rifling tapes. “He can take his bloody tea with him.”

    Martin’s fingers tightened on the saucer. Oh.

    -

    Martin knows better than to talk about it. It's fine. He's fine.
