    Summary

    Bruce, at fourteen, has traded his smart blazers for black sweaters that insist on swallowing him whole. He’s yet to lose any chubby-cheeked remnants of childhood but he looks tired, bone-deep like a good night’s sleep has been evading him for a couple of years now. Other than that, his hand shakes where he’s gripping the phone. Separated by glass, Arthur’s does too.

    (Arthur gets early parole, Bruce would quite like to know his maybe-brother.)

    Summary

    Set immediately after "The Killing Joke": Joker changes his mind on the way back to Arkham and agrees to Batman's offer to rehabilitate him.

    What follows is a mess of conflicting needs, emotional ugliness and a whole lot of bad decisions, but no one ever said it was going to be easy.

    Summary

    After years of being homeschooled, Xie Lian was about to start his first year at a prestigious boarding school. One of his least favorite parts about school was the lack of one-on-one attention, so when Jun Laoshi offered to teach him something privately, he accepted eagerly.

    Jun Laoshi was quiet for a moment before finally answering, “I could teach you if you’d like, but your classmates might be jealous. Can you keep it a secret?”

    Summary

    Such impossible contradiction: the way Xie’er moves so seamlessly between chastened child and hardened killer. Zhao Jing has seen him drive a poisoned blade into the back of a fully grown man without any change in expression. Here, he seems but a moment away from helpless tears.

    The power of it charges through his meridians like qi stolen from the gods themselves, and Zhao Jing nods. And smiles.

    “Take off your clothes.”

    It comes to Zhao Jing's attention that there is something else in this wuxia world that he might want.

    Even if that particular thing has actually been his since the very beginning.

    Summary

    I'll start by briefly describing how Li Daikun (who played the role of Xie Wang) and Wang Ruolin (who played the role of Zhao Jing) interpreted their characters since in this analysis, I will rely primarily on their interpretations. In the case of Word of Honor, the opinion of the actors is of particular importance, since the director gave them more freedom of action, and the original book differs significantly from the serial adaptation. Links to interviews and other sources are provided at the end of the post.

    Li Daikun and Wang Ruolin deliberately did not discuss with each other in advance how they would play their scenes together - each moved in its own direction to make the dissonance, the misunderstanding between Zhao Jing and Xie Wang more obvious...

    Summary

    Xie'er tastes of alcohol and salt where their lips meet. Perhaps he's been crying again. Zhao Jing can't tell, because his own eyes are closed as his hands move to scrabble at his belts, at the alien intricacies of the black clothing he wears. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. Zhao Jing had made his plans before Xie Jie Liubo had come into his life. Those plans will go on even after he is long gone from it.

    After the banquet, Zhao Jing reflects on what he stands to lose even as he gains everything he ever wanted.

    Summary

    Xie Wang is unable to recall a time when he did not desire Zhao Jing. Even in his early youthful adoration there was a jealous possessiveness, a need to see that man as his and his alone.

    He was his. There was no path, no world in which this was not the case, even though his beloved Yifu was still unaware of it.

    Xie Wang’s mannerisms were usually perfectly pliant and submissive when they were together. It came easy to him. He had learned from the best, after all. However, Zhao Jing had not raised a concubine; he had raised a scorpion, and every scorpion has a sting.

    Summary

    Xie’er knew he was likely crossing into dangerous territory but he found himself driven by the times he had so badly wanted to touch his Yifu but hadn’t dared. Or hadn’t been allowed. He remembered every night that he’d spent alone, unable to freely stand by his Yifu’s side, to lay in his bed. The painful memories had Xie’er dipping his fingers to tease the skin on the inside of Zhao Jing’s thigh, flirting with what lay between them.

    Summary

    He knows he should rise, that he should press Zhao Jing’s hand aside and withdraw. That he should take his leave and return to Luo Fumeng and see what she can add to the information he has already extracted at such terrible cost. But his yifu’s hand rests soft and warm against his cheek, held there in both his own trembling hands – and his chest aches and his throat is raw and he wants nothing more than to stay here forever on his knees, secure even for just this one second while bathed in the affection of his beloved godfather.

    Xie Wang is aware he should know better.

    He is also aware that a too-large part of him hopes he never will.

    Summary

    When seventeen-year-old Xie'er makes an error during a mission, Zhao Jing takes it upon himself to punish him. What else is a godfather to do?

    "His mouth – which Zhao Jing suspects is going to cause a lot of trouble when he grows up – is closed, his bottom lip tight. It looks so much better relaxed, but he supposes Xie'er can’t help it. There’s a furrow between his brows, as though Xie'er is trying to appear calm but not quite succeeding. Despite his expression, his already delicate face is almost doll-like underwater: something about the quality of the light softens it and turns the golden and pink undertones in the skin to inert grays and blues.

    Summary

    Shifting, uncomfortable in his seat, Xie’er lifted the cup of wine in front of him to his mouth. He turned, watched as Zhao Jing served the Immortal Ye between them, smile splitting his face. It was familiar now, watching Yifu mute his already meek existence in the face of anyone he thought he could eventually manipulate. He watched as Zhao Jing mimicked the subservience Xie’er gave him when they were alone. And when it became too painful to watch, Xie’er averted his eyes, looked anywhere but the physical embodiment of the two desires warring in his mind.

    ———

    Xie’er finds himself intrigued by the Immortal Ye. Zhao Jing notices, retakes his control. Takes place during/after the banquet in Ep 32, but don’t look too closely.
