    Summary

    Felix has a boyish charm and enough easy sunshine to wrap everyone around his pinky finger. Enough of it to pull himself back from the edge after an elimination, enough to make it as a star in the sky over a strange country. But past the pure easiness of him, there is something that burns, burns brightly enough that Hyunjin can't look away.

    Felix walks into the practice room on the first day, thin little wrists and desperate eyes, and Hyunjin wants.

    Summary

    'Hyunjin has always been different in that regard, and Felix is more careful, more mindful around him. As if the stakes are higher. (Felix loves each and every one of them so much, so he can’t explain why the thought of angering Hyunjin, losing Hyunjin, makes him panic in a much different way than thinking about losing any of the others.)'

    or

    After filming 2 Kids Room with Hyunjin, Felix questions first his words to and then his feelings for Hyunjin. And slowly but surely, it becomes everyone's problem.

    Summary

    Jin Ling’s needs were constant and repetitive; they ran like a lifeline through Jiang Cheng’s days. He didn’t need to see past the next feeding, the next changing. He didn’t need to persuade himself to get out of bed in the morning; sooner or later Lingling would cry, and he would find he could move after all. In the middle of the night, when neither of them could sleep, he paced up and down the room, holding Lingling to his chest, whispering, “Jiujiu’s here. I won’t leave you alone. I promise.”
    ---
    Jiang Cheng knew Lan Zhan had been seeing way more of Wei Ying than he had, but it still burned: Lan Zhan’s easy familiarity with Wei Ying’s household, with his thoughts. I’m the one that grew up with him. He was mine first.

    Summary

    Parenting is hard, but it's especially hard when it's not actually your kid and your sister who raised you died three years ago and you have to deal with your own abandonment issues at the same time as your new kid's abandonment issues and the guy who's raising the kid with you won't stop being a better parent than you.

    Or: Jiang Cheng has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week of birthday party planning.

    Summary

    Since the tender age of 9, Jiang Cheng has been convinced there is something growing within his chest.

    He fancies it might be a rose bush, full of thorns that poke his lungs everytime his father praises Wei Wuxian while his mother compares his lacking skills to his adopted brother and his sister dotes on the older boy, first and foremost. Or maybe it's a cactus, one that parches his throat dry with a hacking cough when all his friends favor the cooler Jiang sibling and dismiss his minuscule insecurities. But sometimes he contemplates if it's poison ivy wrapping tightly around his esophagus, causing uncomfortable irritation when his childhood crush, flawless Lan Xichen doesn't notice him the way Jiang Cheng notices everything about the older boy.

    He might not be certain what it is, but all he knows is that he is growing something so magnificent and indescribable.

    And it hurts.

    Yet no one believes him when he mentions the pain, when somedays the basic skill of breathing doesn't come easy. He catches the eye rolls, hears the scoffs, fumes at the blatant teasing, and clams up at the scolding he receives for his "exaggeration".

    Though perhaps his imagination wasn't too far off the mark.
