    Summary

    Xia Dong sighed. “You can’t keep to yourself in the capital, Nihuang. It’s not good for your reputation, and besides, you’ll be lonely.”

    “I have my household,” Nihuang said mildly. “And you.”

    “You have me,” Xia Dong agreed, “to drag you out of your house when necessary. Put on some good clothes tomorrow—something nice but simple. I’ll take you to see someone I know you’d like to meet.”

    --

    Five times Xia Dong "helped" Nihuang connect with someone in the capital, and one time Nihuang did the same for Xia Dong.

    Summary

    In the heart of the enemy’s country, Jack is guest of honour at an elegant night in the grand home of Adhémar de La Mothe. La Mothe is a strange and marvelous host, and he certainly seems very fond of Stephen...

    Could it all just be cover for one of Stephen’s secret missions? Or is there some deeper truth to be revealed?

    Summary

    Four times Lin Chen had absolutely unshakeable faith in his own abilities, and one time wherein there was doubt.

    -

    Or: Four times the universe tells the Master of Langya Hall, “you can’t do that,” and said Master of Langya Hall goes, “Hold my beer.” + one time somebody says, “You can. I believe in you,” and he goes, “I sure fucking hope so.”

    (Don’t worry, he does.)

    Summary

    Harry the Horse has the idea that Archy can help him out with a little problem he is having, which is that he and Spanish John and Little Isadore wish to knock over a truck belonging to Solly Fingers which is carrying certain products from Canada. Solly neglects to notify anybody as to when it is due to arrive, out of a suspicion that someone may wish to knock it over. But the schedule will certainly be in his little club over on Eighth Avenue, and Harry says he does not know of a club anywhere on Eighth that can keep out a cockroach that is as smart as Archy, or in fact a cockroach of any description whatsoever.

    Summary

    Stephen took hold of Jack's face again, but not this time to cherish. He held him still—Jack making a mild complaining sound—and moved back far enough for the lantern-light to fall upon Jack and bring him into focus. There—there, on his jaw, where Stephen's hands had grabbed him—a faint smudge of the silvery dust. And on the side of his neck where the shirt lay loose, another trace of it, glittering like assassins' knives; Stephen remembered how he had combed all of his treacherous fingers through Jack's hair, stealthily savouring him. Contaminating him.

    Xia Dong offers out of the goodness of her heart. Nihuang is a very dear friend, a vital part of their country's military, and deserves more than to be shopped around like cattle. That's all there is to it.

    Honestly.

    Summary

    Such a cold response comes as a shock. He'd expected impassioned pleas from her-- he had been steeling himself to endure them. Instead, he is left to consider, with a sudden sense of foreboding, how formidable Nihuang could be as an enemy.
     
    Post-series, alternate ending. Lin Shu ends his engagement with Nihuang. Nihuang lets him. Jingyan finds this unacceptable.

    Jingyan rolled his eyes a little. “I mean that there is no need to be secretive,” he said. He nodded at Meng, who was looking both confused and alarmed. “It is unkind of you, Sir Su, to force Commander Meng to tell lies; it makes him very uncomfortable.”

    Summary

    It had seemed like a good idea at the time. It had been a good idea at the time. Seducing Prince Jing had wholly achieved its immediate objective of distracting him from coming dangerously close to recognising his former friend. Yet good as the idea had been, it had to be admitted that right from the start it had not gone as intended.
