    Summary

    Lan Wangji moves his hand across the console and gently winds his fingers around Wei Ying’s wrist. “I will not leave you."

    Wei Ying laughs quietly. He doesn’t meet Lan Wangji’s eyes. “No,” he whispers, “I guess you won’t. It’ll be you and me and the endless space and stars, sweetheart.”


    At the peak of the Sunshot campaign, Wen Ruohan's greatest weapon goes missing. At the Cloud Recesses Flight Academy, Lan Wangji meets a new student by the name of Wei Ying.

    Summary

    “You never talk about it,” Aziraphale said.
    Crowley, drowsing on the sofa with an open book covering his eyes, didn’t answer for a moment. Then he took the book off his face and said, “Talk about what?”
    But he knew. It was in his voice, clear as anything.
    Aziraphale hesitated, trying to figure out if there was a way of saying it without actually saying it. There wasn’t.
    “The Fall,” he said. “And… before.”

    Summary

    In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.

    This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

    For a rumor to spread effectively, it must contain a shred of truth.

    Some rumors are just misinterpretations of the truth.

    Summary

    Odin is missing a raven. Without Muninn, Odin isn’t quite who he used to be. The only thing more dangerous than a man with secrets is one who can no longer keep them.

    After a near-perfect Coronation years ago, Thor's become exactly the kind of king he believes his father would be proud of - if his father were still the man Thor thought he was (if he ever was).

    Loki knows his place - servant of Asgard, advisor to his brother, and caregiver to his ailing father. Important roles, defining ones - and yet he feels forgotten. Sometimes literally.

    Being forgotten is fatal when all that you are is someone else’s lie.

    Summary

    "By the Heavens, did you hear? The Yiling Patriarch has been invited to the Discussion Conference in Qinghe!"

    Gossip was, by far, the fastest way for information to spread.

    "What! Whose idea was that!?"

    It was not the most accurate or most reliable method, but people were people, and the tedium of daily life would always bore them.

    "I heard it was the Nie Sect leader's suggestion."

    ----------

    After thirteen years in the Burial Mounds, the Yiling Patriarch finally makes a public reappearance. Civilians are scared. Cultivators are outraged. Sect Leaders are concerned. Wei Wuxian has been too quiet, they say, and nobody knows what dark horrors the Burial Mounds may now contain.

    Wei Wuxian wouldn't quite call them dark horrors, but the description wasn't too far off.

    (tl;dr Wei Wuxian lives, raises a whole gaggle of demonic cultivator children, and the cultivation world panics.)

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian would have thought that the dragon’s voice would rattle the trees, shake the earth with its force. Instead, his voice is small and a little raspy. He speaks slowly, as if it is difficult to speak at all.

    “I accept....your offer,” he says painfully. “You know....the price? No leaving...until this season comes again...do you understand?”

    Wei Wuxian doesn’t feel fully in his body as he nods. “Yes.”

    ---

    Increasingly desperate, Wei Wuxian turns to unconventional means to help the Wens. If one can call trading away a year of his life to live in a secluded estate with a mountain spirit 'unconventional'. Or, the 'east of the sun, west of the moon' one.

    Summary

    Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.

    He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.

    In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

    Wei Wuxian has been wandering alone for six months when he suddenly stops writing. This is deeply concerning to at least a few people. Jiang Cheng is not among them.

    No, really, he's not.
