    Summary

    Shi Wudu had dreams once. Aspirations.

    They all crumbled the day his parents were killed.

    Dreams don’t pay the bills and with the debt owed to a gang courtesy of his parents? He can’t afford to stop and breathe, let alone dream.

    Forced into service of said gang, Shi Wudu is trapped. And with the streets getting progressively more hostile, with warring gangs and serial killers alike, how long can he hold on before all the weapons of past memories and present torments rain down on him, drowning him entirely?

    ~~~~~

    Xie Lian’s just returned to detective work after his second absence before a murderer from his past returns with a vengeance.

    Struggling under the weight of the guilt and blame, he must turn to unlikely means to finally bring the memories of loss to rest once and for all.

    Summary

    “Where did you go?” Yin Yu sported his own arrangement of piercings. Not too many, and he usually only wore them outside of work hours. Now, he had several in one ear, and a septum ring dangling. He looked nice, the purple ball in the center a nice offset to his usual muted color palette. When his drink was empty, he set the glass down beside Quan Yizhen, who stood up to go order him another. 

    “Hei Shui. Do you know it?” 

    Yin Yu coughed. “Yeah, that place is fucking expensive. You didn’t see the owner, did you?” 

    “Uh, He Xuan. Goth twink.” 

    “Damn. You fainted on the most famous piercer in the city. How’s it feel?”

    Summary

    Hua Cheng knows a thing or two about romance: too bad his date is in the emergency room with a possible concussion.
    He Xuan knows nothing about romance: good thing his date is attracted to his serial killer vibes.

    One night. Two dates. Two absolute disasters. Maybe they can all pull it together in the end?

    Summary

    “Gege? What’s going on?”

    Xie Lian has gone bright red, his eyes flickering back and forth between He Xuan, who he’s still laying on, and Hua Cheng, who might have gone into actual shock.

    “San Lang! We’re, we...uh, this is—”

    He Xuan takes a deep breath, sends a prayer to the dead hermit crab he had when he was twelve, and says, “Xie Lian and I are dating.”

    He Xuan gets dragged into a love triangle he never wanted to be part of.

    Summary

    “Who is this...person?” 

    “Hm.” She shrugs, knowing there’s no name she can say. It’s not true, her excuse. But it seems that this Heavenly Official is not going away unless she gives an answer. “He is...very powerful. Not friendly, very rarely seen.” 

    A snort comes from the God, and he turns his head to the three or so other men standing in a grouping. Their smiles look more like sneers, and when his eyes fall on Shi Qingxuan again, she gets the undeniable feeling of being sized up like a piece of meat. “I suppose you’re lying.” 

    “I’m not lying.” 

    “Then, who are you taking to the banquet?” 

    Her mind starts clicking, trying to think of a name. If it weren’t for such a smug, ugly expression on this God’s face, she might admit her fib and move on, but Shi Qingxuan wants to see that wiped away. “Black Water Sinking Ships,” she says. 

    Behind her, Ming Yi chokes on her rice.
