    Summary

    “Hm, this kinda calls for a more intimate shot, right?” Xiaoshi noted as he stared at Lu Guang through the viewfinder. “Maybe if we hugged, right? I'll turn the flash off, just let the moon illuminate us."

    Just hug him back, then. He nodded again, a little excited for the shot. Xiaoshi pressed a button or two on his camera and then quickly ran back over towards the railing. He held his arms open. Lu Guang wrapped his arms around Xiaoshi, turned his head inwards and shut his eyes.

    Ten seconds passed, and Xiaoshi let him go again, running back towards the camera to check the picture. “Ahguang, come look, what do you think?”

    Lu Guang stared at the screen. ‘Intimate’ was probably a good word to describe it. Was this really the sort of photo Xiaoshi would want to mark the start of their friendship?

    [Lu Guang's been nonverbal for the past eighteen years of his life. He's used to relying on his parents for everything, but desperately wants for independence. After he meets Cheng Xiaoshi by chance and they become friends, he wonders if he can be his ticket to escaping]

    Summary

    Cheng Xiaoshi, all in all, loves working with Lu Guang. It’s not much heavy work, mostly just helping people and making sure no one is doing anything stupid, like hiding a body in the vanishing storage room. Though he’s already sat there for an hour and didn’t disappear, so he’s thankfully disproved that myth.

     

    (Lu Guang runs a magic store and Cheng Xiaoshi needs a job.)

    Summary

    Ever since the Sour Nest, Caleb has been invisible. When his search for an explanation in Zadash yields no answers, he and the rest of the Mighty Nein continue on regardless. Fortunately, there is one person who can see and hear him: Molly, who can also join Caleb in the space of invisibility if he so chooses.

    When Avantika turns out to be just a little bit more unhinged and a little bit more trigger happy than expected, Molly and Caleb decide to stow away in the Squalleater’s hold to support their friends in secret. Their nightly sharing of a small, makeshift bed is complicated by the feelings they are each slowly developing for each other.

    Although Caleb and Molly have found a personal oasis, the relationship between Avantika and the rest of the Mighty Nein is growing ever-more turbulent. Will Caleb and Molly be able to work out their feelings for each other, save their friends — and when the unthinkable happens and Uk’otoa is freed, save the ocean itself?

    Summary

    “And there be no harvest sweeter to the serpent than the purity of a youthful soul,” the scripture dictates, and Lu Guang surely knows it’s all a lie. The remnants of his soul, those he hadn’t managed to sell, would barely suffice for a meagre snack, and yet the malicious whisper from the other side never fades.

    But Cheng Xiaoshi is prone to small sins, and this shatters both his will and his faith in the truth of sacred texts.
