    Summary

    Jean and Lisa offered up their apartment when Eula needed a place to stay upon her return to the city, but it's turning out to be a much longer arrangement than they all initially anticipated, and Eula's unending surliness is only making matters worse. Perhaps a night of bonding would help them sort it all out?

    Summary

    Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan Riley never had, until one day he disappears, and Stefan has to adapt to life without him. But, one year later, when he runs into a girl who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He discovers that other boys have disappeared, too, dozens over the years, most of them students of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, many of them troubled or unruly before their disappearance.

    What is happening to these boys? Who are the handful of women on campus who bear a striking resemblance to some of those who went missing? And what is the connection to the mysterious Dorley Hall?

    Stefan works hard to get into the Royal College for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too.

    (A closeted trans girl attempts to infiltrate a secret underground forced feminisation programme.)

    Summary

    The past eleven years of Keqing and Ganyu’s relationship have been beautifully, wonderfully mundane. But despite the house they share, despite the safety of the love they have, despite the life they’ve built together, they remain well aware that Keqing is human, and Ganyu is not. They know, but are unprepared for, the pain that will bring.

    Keqing has struggled—with small success—to make her peace with being unable to resolve this, and continues to try. She never expects Ganyu to present a solution: one that intertwines with Liyue’s ancient secrets, and that asks her to make decisions that will very literally change both of their lives.

    Summary

    “What’s wrong?” Keqing can’t see anything worthy of shock. The room is small, and fairly empty. Two beds sit on either end, with a set of drawers and a round table on a worn bamboo mat occupying the floor space between them.

    Ganyu’s mouth opens but it’s a few seconds before she answers. “I—so there’s just one room for us to share?”

     -

    In the aftermath of Rex Lapis's departure, Keqing rushes to strengthen Liyue's infrastructure and trade routes. Her first project takes her on a survey trip to a site north of Qingce Village. Despite Keqing's protests and doubts, Ganyu comes along to help in lieu of her usual entourage of assistants. The two of them couldn't be more different, but a week together has its way of unearthing secrets and words they never thought they would say to anyone, let alone to each other.
