    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days.

    Summary

    Talia accelerates through the tunnel, and Derek looks up, watches the light that makes it through the bramble dance and shift over the hood of the car as they drive, fingers gripping the sides of the tank. It’s beautiful, like a gateway to another world. He’s lived in the preserve his whole life, and he didn’t know this was here.

    She eyes him. “You should know this man is very important to me. I take the responsibility of his care and counsel very seriously. Handing him over to you…it’s not a small thing. Please keep that in mind.”

    No pressure, then.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”

    Summary

    “Good morning, Dianxia,” Hua Cheng murmured, a hint of a smile returned to him by his own image in the mirror. He put down the brush next to the ornate pyxis of cinnabar clay and thoroughly checked his reflexion.

    The flex of his fingers on the mahogany handle of the brush, the drag of the bristles on his skin, the scrape of the lid encrusted with mother of pearl against the edges of the box as he closed it and the smear of rouge the movement always left on his fingertips were moments repeated slowly morning by morning, each a step in the ancient ritual of making himself worthy of his God’s gaze. The water that flowed through the fibers on the head of the brush ran tainted red as a blood sacrifice and the incense on Xie Lian’s altar burned.

    or: Hua Cheng prays to Xie Lian every day, sharing ordinary moments and heartfelt confessions with the beloved that cannot hear him.
    Coming out of the coffin in Yong'An Xie Lian starts to hear the loving and harrowing prayers of a devoted ghost.
