    Summary

    Sleep is the girl you befriended in the sandbox back when your memories fuzz around the edges in distance. You are close at one point, braiding flowers and skipping with arms linked. You share crayons and make rhymes as you share the simplest secrets that seemed like such mysteries in the life of youth. But as years pass, your fingers slip from their firm grips on each other to loose clasps. You don’t share as much food anymore, and you aren’t aware of the crushes you had that week. You float apart until you say one last goodbye on that day you graduate, and you don’t see each other. You only catch glimpses of each other; rumors of how life was tripped along and longing wishes that there was more.

    Unlike many, Rosalind has somewhat rekindled this relationship with sleep. With years of unaffected insomnia, she lets the sun set her bones and body back into sleep. Warm and fuzzy.

    Summary

    Dearest gentle readers,

     

    The time has come for the social season and if there exists a scandal rest assured I shall uncover it. Ponder this: what happens when duty and ambition binds two would-be rivals to each other? My speculation is that they will live at each other’s throats in desperate attempts to quell an inadmissible desire because, after all, fire and water do look so lovely together despite their nature.

     

    Yours truly,

     

    Lady Whistledown

     

    --

    By all accounts, Mai’rinnen Trengsin and Yin Nezha make an interesting couple. But the two of them know the truth— it’s all an elaborate scheme by their families to enter into a risky marriage alliance as the threat of the Third Poppy War looms. They must prove to Sinegard’s cutthroat elite-- and Empress Su Daji herself-- that their courtship isn’t a sham, but rather a convincing whirlwind romance; a task made difficult enough by their mutual disdain and worsened by the vicious nature of Nikara high society.

    Will their ruse become something else as they become the talk of the town?

    OR

    The Poppy War, but make it Bridgerton.

    Summary

    “Ready?” Nezha laces their fingers with a startlingly familiar tenderness. His expression doesn’t betray the contempt and unfamiliarity of the last five years, only the spitting image of the face she loved in Sinegard, all those summers ago.

    Rin wants to run. They shouldn’t be doing this. How the fuck is he doing this? How could he reach for Old Nezha, her Nezha, so easily, as if he’d just been there this entire time and never left—as if she had never left?

    “Just fucking get this over with,” Rin grits out.

    His smile is beautiful and open, the way it was in her memories and worst nightmares.

    “Good,” he says, more to the guests honed in on their conversation than to her. “Then it’s about time everyone met my beautiful, brilliant girlfriend.”

    Five years after the fact, Rin reprises the role of Nezha’s girlfriend for his sister’s wedding.

    Summary

    Pursuing her master’s degree at a university abroad, Rin needs a roommate to afford rent off-campus. Nezha—snobby, rich, annoyingly perfect—misses the dorm registration deadline and has no other housing option close to campus. They both end up becoming roommates out of sheer desperation.
