    Summary

    “These incidents are connected,” Miles tells the SIU Director, in the earliest meeting with the man he can get. “They have to be. Someone is causing them, and leaving these marks behind, and, somehow, they’re getting away with it.” He straightens as much as he can, hands curling into fists. “Those that are guilty cannot be allowed to walk free. I will not let that stand.”

    The Director regards him impassively, hands steepled together in front of his face.

    “An interesting observation, Mr. Edgeworth,” he says, eventually. He lets out an exhale, then pushes himself up in his chair. “Though quite a lot for only one person to handle on their own, surely.” He cocks his head, and offers Miles the barest hint of a smile, eyes sharp. “Why don’t we pair you with someone that can help split the work?”

    He, as Miles already suspects, is not talking about Detective Gumshoe.

     

    Or,

    There are, as it would happen, quite a number of things going on in 2016.

    Summary

    For the longest time, anger was the strength Jiang Cheng used to stand up straight and face the world. He was sect leader. He had expectations to meet and obligations to fulfill. But when his grip on his anger begins to slip, he needs to find what else can hold him up.

    or

    At the ancestral hall, Jiang Cheng faces Wei Wuxian alone. Lan Wangji is late. Wen Ning doesn't show up. Suibian is left on the wooden floors of Lotus Pier.

    Summary

    With an unsettling calm that only comes when one is holding an iron leash on their rage, Jiang Cheng holds Suibian in front of himself, grasps the hilt, and unsheathes the sword enough to clearly show the base of the blade.

    “You lied to me,” is the auspicious start to the conversation Jiang Cheng has spent weeks planning. “You did, I think, the most terrible thing anyone has ever done to me.”

    You carved open my brother. You mutilated him to mend a damage that I knowingly walked toward in the pursuit of his well-being, and never even gave me a choice in the matter.

    “And you lied to do it. And then you kept lying.”

     

    Built off an AU where Jiang Cheng comes across Suibian without Wen Ning there to cruelly but truthfully explain why he is able to draw it despite being sealed, and puts the pieces of the transfer together himself. When viewed through this critical new lens, so much of Wei Wuxian’s actions and behaviors start to make sense. Given the time to actually process this information and start to work through the anger and grief and love and betrayal and guilt of it all, the confrontation with Wei Wuxian goes a bit differently.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Anya Forger gets the urge to hide. It's not a panic thing, it's just...she needs to hide. It's good she's not actually afraid of the dark.

    (OR: Hide and Seek, the weight of mind reading and secrets on a child, and what it means for it to come to light.)

    Summary

    Greedy is not a word he would describe himself with. Through perhaps it was not that far removed from the truth. He did desire. He desired to know, to understand, to be able to. Once in possession of a singular little piece he could not help but grab the rest with desperate fingers.

    And magic, strange and not at all bound by any human morals only rewarded the hunger festering within his dark eyes.

     

    OR: A very curious and overly ambitious man dies and is reincarnated into the wizarding world. This has dire consequences.
