Summary
They take a moment to consider him. They didn't think, at this point, that they'd ever again have to make an example of a spouse that was getting a little too comfortable taking liberties with their grace. In hindsight, that was silly of them. Narinder remembers living the selfish existence of a god. He still loves like one, in many ways. But that time is past.
It does give them some good ideas, though. The Lamb, too, knows how to love like a god.

Summary
Oh, now it makes sense. Really, if he’d been thinking about it he could’ve caught onto it ages ago. His coming-home routine is, at least by Xhorhasian romance novel standards, bordering on openly lewd.

A 5+1 (with a prologue and a bonus!) of Essek's I-thought-it-was-a-secret hair pulling kink.

Summary
The imperial dragons are a close-kept secret. Only a select few know of the mythical blood that flows through the royal family’s lineage, and even fewer know of the power it grants them in times of need.
When Jinshi finds himself almost assassinated, he is forced to call on such power— but it leaves him delirious, bleeding, and terrifyingly vulnerable. So he flees to the one person he knows he can trust with his life more than anyone.
Maomao, meanwhile, catches a weird snake outside her house.

Summary
When the fortress fell, Jinshi found her among the dead. To the world, just another body among many. To him, it was as if he had lost the war, the end of history itself.
Canon Divergence: What if Maomao, taken hostage during the Shi Clan arc, was also given the resurrection potion?

Summary
What determines where you end up when you hold one location in your mind with intent, but touch a different teleportation token? Essek will consider this later. Instead, as he plunges into the ocean off the coast of Rumblecusp, his body and mind freeze.
Essek does not have a first thought.
His second thought is less of a thought, and more of the primal, deep scream of the body locking up from the combination of rapid temperature change and sudden immersion. Verbal, somatic, material: it is all irrelevant when one is unable to think or move.
Essek accidentally teleports into the ocean while evading the Dynasty. 0/10 does not recommend.
