were you born a closed book (full of secret lines) by ConvenientAlias

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.

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

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.

Notes on a Nondescript Vegetable by Dorinda for seularen
Fandoms: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), Master and Commander - All Media Types
07 Jan 2022

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.

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.Series

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.”

Lay down your arms (and surrender to mine) by Nineveh_uk

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.
