    Summary

    Ghosts won't stop giving Xie Lian flowers, Hua Cheng won't stop teasing, and Xie Lian is out here doing his best, man.

    Xie Lian is momentarily frozen. Outside of heaven, no one calls him Highness except in jest, and there was a time people threw flowers at his feet as if to make a carpet for him to walk upon, but those years are long past. “Thank you. This is a—a princely gift.”

    The spirit’s black-pit eyes go wide and then he grins, revealing long, wicked teeth the color of tarnished silver. “Yes! Yes, I knew it was meant for his Highness.” The spirit nods to Hua Cheng, too, whose grin has widened to something almost obscene.

    “Truly,” Hua Cheng agrees.

    “Are you sending him to Gotham Academy?” he asks. Jason attends there; Jason loves it. He imagines Richard in one of the uniforms, dulled. He imagines Richard in league clothes, and somehow, perversely, it fits him more.

    Ships, Damian decided, were there own special, horrible brand of torture. They were cold, damp and miserable, full of the worst examples of human kind; men too annoying or too stupid or too malodorous for normal society on land.

    "So you let a couple kidnappers in the house."

    "Not let. They did have to break in through a window. But when it became clear from their conversation that the only thing they were after was me, and for a shockingly pessimistic ransom amount, I decided to usher them out."

    "Kim," you say, stepping carefully closer to the box, "where's your sense of adventure? Your sense of investigative curiosity? Your detective's soul - "

    "Have you considered," the lieutenant says, "that my investigative curiosity is primarily focused on the scene of the murder-suicide two blocks away that we're meant to be investigating at the moment?"

    It is twilight in Revachol. Darkness falls over the city in fits and spurts, hiding away a dark alley here, wrapping around a heated conversation there, as the sodium lights flicker slowly on. The screeches of motor carriages, the rise and fall of conversation on the street, are joined by the rustle and chirp of crickets, together forming the sound of Revachol's breathing: rising and falling, inhaling and exhaling.

    "Ah, fuck it," Kim says. "Let's go canvas some gas stations."

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu didn't really consider that there might be drawbacks to a system who was devoted to both lore and genuine experiences, until he was dying of it.

    Getting to repeat from the start as many times as he needed to figure it out didn't help. Nothing really did, until the System offered an easy mode. He just had to unlock it, and then he could let Liu Qingge do all the work.

    Summary

    Damian’s heart stutters. The body is Grayson’s, slumped to the ground against the cliff face. Snow piles against Batman’s sprawled legs and sticks in clumps to the dips of his cape.

    Then white breath rises from Grayson’s lips.

    In their early days as Batman and Robin, Dick and Damian were interrogated by Ra’s al Ghul. Dick was drugged. Four years later, his memories of the incident are fuzzy.

    Now, Damian’s quit Robin and cut contact with the family. When Dick gets a coded note asking to meet, he doesn’t hesitate. The rendezvous isn’t what he expects, however—and Damian has a story to tell.

    Dick is on the chandelier.

    An eight year old. A genius gymnast, to be sure, but a child, small for his age and under Bruce’s legal care. On the chandelier. Twenty five feet above the ground, surrounded by glass and kept up by a single fifty-year-old chain bolted to the ceiling.

    Bruce is going to have to check his blood pressure after Dick is safe on the ground.

    In his head he sees his father’s shoes. He always wore brown dress shoes even indoors, polished to a shine. Bruce sometimes spent a very long time gazing down at those shoes. He remembers them better, he thinks, than Thomas Wayne’s face.

    Summary

    A martial god wasn’t very in-demand, never mind one that had most of his powers sealed away. What else could he help with? Wealth? No, he’d never been interested in money. Good fortune? It wasn’t as if he had any to give out, thanks to the cursed shackle. Maybe ‘clearing away your scraps’ god? No, too much of a mouthful. What a conundrum.

    Still, it was time for a change in vocation. The question was, Xie Lian sighed, hoisting his rake over his shoulder and looking out over his fence across the wide sea of paddy fields - to what?

    -

    In which Xie Lian attempts to switch from martial to sex god. Along the way, he runs into a red-robed youth in an ox-cart who proves to be very helpful.

    Summary

    In all fairness, as much as his opinion of Wen Kexing has been as changing as the seasons, his uncanny ability to be an annoying nuisance has never flickered. He was annoying when he was staring down Ye Baiyi’s sword and he was annoying when he kneeled on the forest bed in apology and plea. 

     

    Surely, it’s no surprise that he is annoying now, allegedly dead.

     

    And yet, Ye Baiyi had not anticipated this level of stupidity from him: the brat did not tell Qin Huaizhang’s disciple of his plan.

    *
    or, Ye Baiyi takes direct action and prevents a chain of disastrous events. All the while, he reminisces, fulfills some promises, and finds he's not in such a hurry to get to the Naihe Bridge.
