Summary
It’s when she’s checking her GPS again—five minutes, just five minutes, almost there—that she sees Thiago move, out of the corner of her eye. All at once he slumps, chin hitting his chest, hand falling slack from his arm and dropping the gauze and letting the blood-soaked bandages tumble down his arm, dark in the flash of another stray street lamp.
The moment she sees his limp hand, the fresh blood-
Dying again he's dying again he's dying again he's dying-
Liz gasps and her hand flies from the steering wheel to his arm and slams the gauze back on. “Thiago—”
Thiago yelps, jolting and eyes flying open. “The fuck?!”
“Liz-senpai?” Joui pipes up.
“Your arm,” Liz says. Her hand doesn’t move from where it’s barely holding the gauze in place. Her bad shoulder is loudly protesting the angle she’s holding her arm at. She doesn’t move her hand. “You have to keep pressure on it, the wound could still be bleeding."
~*~
Or, just weeks after the Nostradamus case, Liz, Thiago, and a newly-recruited Joui find themselves on their way back from a one-day mission to take care of a local paranormal threat. Liz has a lot on her mind. And so it seems does Thiago. And so it seems does Joui.

Summary
Joui can’t sleep.
That isn’t news, exactly – he finds himself unable to get to sleep pretty often, these days. It’s just that usually, the place he’s tossing and turning at night is his own bed, or some sort of hotel room. Not Arthur and Kaiser’s couch.
It’s not like he was planning to sleep here. He knew it would be awkward to just show up at their place after several weeks of only sporadically answering their messages, and expect them to give him a place to stay without demanding an explanation. But he ended up in a bad spot after a several-day investigation, and had no money left, and was too far away from the Order HQ, and… well. It ended up being the only place he could go.
Joui sleeps over at Arthur and Kaiser's apartment, and the three of them have a late-night talk.

Summary
“Okay.” Joui pauses, then a grin crawls onto his face. “Never have I ever… made out with—”
Something does an odd flip in Cesar’s chest. Arthur grabs his glass and is already taking a hefty swig before Joui’s even finished talking.
“—made out with—a guy and a girl, at the same party,” Joui finishes, looking very pleased with himself.
After a long day of investigations, the team plays a drunken game of Never Have I Ever at the Ashy Armpit. It leads to some unexpected revelations.

Summary
Jinshi is terribly aware most people don’t love the way he does - case in point, he’s picked a single wood-sorrel when he could’ve had a blossom of every variety if he so chose. While he of course feels some male pride seeing Maomao pregnant and knowing he did that, more than anything he feels a deep love and curiosity for the child, and immeasurable appreciation for his wife. It's fascinating to know they created something that didn’t exist, and now they would be responsible for guiding it through the world. He would be a father.
So what was a good father?
Or, Jinshi's on the cusp of fatherhood, and then he's just plain in it. Meanwhile, the rest of the world keeps spinning.

Summary
Jinshi has always sparkled for others, but Maomao has never been mesmerized by it. It was just another thing she was immune to. Now here he was, not particularly sparkly, just obviously in love, and Maomao felt what she could only describe as being enraptured.
Maomao knew she needed to say thank you, but at this moment she did not trust her tongue with words. She was afraid something rather mushy would come to her if she tried to speak, and she wasn’t ready for that yet. Which felt silly to acknowledge - that she had married this man, but was struggling to love him.
And it was not loving him - Maomao had deduced this now. It had almost nothing to do with Jinshi at all. Her constipation with regards to her own ability to love had nothing to do with her commitment to him, either. She cared for and admired him deeply, more than she had anyone else, except maybe Loumen. Maomao hopes someday she is able to admit that to him, but she is still accepting that it is even safe to admit to herself.
or
they say the first year of marriage is the hardest - this is Maomao's.
