Summary
“You are going to be betrothed soon. And after that you will marry. And infidelity is against the Lan precepts.”
“Premarital sex is also against the Lan precepts.” He rocks his hips into Xichen’s. “And you’ve broken that one a hundred times.” Xichen looks at him.
“You know the actual number, don’t you?” Guangyao throws his head back in a laugh. Strokes Xichen’s jaw.
“Any way you count it, it's over a hundred.” He smiles. “What’s one more rule broken?” He whispers, standing up on his tiptoes to nuzzle Xichen’s nose with his own.

Summary
“Richard Hendricks is exploding in one of his many infamous tantrums and Jared pulls him out of the meeting. Then he’s throwing up in the nearest hidden trash can out of anxious anger and Jared is following him to rub circles on his back. And he’s really close, and they’re alone in an empty server room, and this is how so many of Richard’s fantasies go, he hates everything about his life.
He's wondered before if they’re synched up. Alone in their own homes, but imagining being together. Remembering the moment earlier that day when they touched. And Richard knows those fantasies of Jared’s must be uncomfortably close to Richard’s. Jared doesn’t fantasize about being loved, but about being useful. Imagines being used.”

Summary
Will’s a different man now than he remembers being. He wonders how experiences can change you without remembering them. He has scars now. A lot of them, and some of them are altogether gruesome. He steps naked out of the shower, and his scars smile at him. Someone gutted him once. And he thinks the cynical way he views the world was carved into him deeper than his memories.

Summary
Something starts to ring, distantly, in Frank’s mind. It doesn’t sound as though Robby is referring to Addiction Services. “What do you mean?”
“Two doctors in the same hospital in a Soul Loop. Gloria’s going to be over the moon.”
Of all the days to trigger her Soul Loop, Mel King probably wouldn't have chosen her first day at a new job. Frank Langdon definitely wouldn't have chosen the worst day of his life.

Summary
It's just — every time he walks in, a skip to his step like he's still surprised he's allowed to be here — all she can see is his new key-chain jiggling against his keys, a gift he'd shown to anyone willing to look; Tanner made it himself, Abby let him give it to me for my sobriety anniversary. No, he doesn't know that's why, he's five. Isn't it great?
And it is, she'd thought — said — absently. He fought so hard to keep his relationship to his children, to his now ex-wife, even as he went through the motions of rehab and recovery and constant HR meetings and random piss tests everyone conspicuously pretended weren't happening. He'd fought so hard, of course it's great.
Or it would be, Mel thinks, ducking away with lukewarm coffee in hand, if she didn't know the image of that key-chain like the palm of her hand.
Or, rather, like the soulmark on the back of her knee.
[or: soulmateism made literal]
