    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    It’s possible that letting go of this crush on Wei Ying would have been easier for Lan Zhan if he didn’t know that Wei Ying and his lover, Mo Xuanyu, often took thirds to bed.

    It is almost certain that letting go of this crush would have been easier had Lan Zhan not become one of them.

    Summary

    Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.

    She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.

    “Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.

    It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.

    “Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”

    Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.

    Summary

    “What exactly did you want my feedback on?” Lan Zhan asks, bending one knee to cock a hip and putting an arch in his back. He laces his voice with just a hint of innuendo. Cobalt is never too excited about anything, so it wouldn’t do to seem too eager or too horny.

    Gorgeous Newbie inhales, squaring his shoulders, and blurts, “Would you watch my stand-up routine and tell me if it needs anything?”

    Lan Zhan blinks. The music is loud in here, like it is everywhere in the club. Surely he misheard. “What?”

    “I have a stand-up routine,” Gorgeous Newbie repeats, more confidently this time. “I would really appreciate it if you could watch it and give me feedback.”

    Or: What happens in the private room, stays in the private room... Until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Wei Ying resists the urge to down her second glass of champagne because she doesn't do that anymore and problems cannot be solved with alcohol or self endangerment. She does take another sip before she approaches. She wonders if this counts as self endangerment, when Lan Zhan could say heart please and Wei Ying would rip it out of her own chest and hand it over even as she fell down dead. She takes another sip of champagne.

    //or//

    okay have some news, she texts later that morning, creating a new group chat, watching as Lan Zhan fixes food for them in the kitchen, her careful assessing eyes, the movement of her hands, her long tapered fingers. Wei Ying’s briefly entranced and then shakes herself, follows up her text, lan zhan and i are together, as in we are in a committed relationship

     

    duh, Nie Huaisang replies.
