Summary
Sunlight streamed through the open window, spilling afternoon brightness onto the apartment’s floor, warming the low carpet and lifting its pale grey hue to an almost unbearable glow. A very slight breeze circled the main room from time to time. The wind wasn’t enough to lift the heat, but the man by the easel seemed to appreciate it.
Grantaire is painting when a worn-down, tired-out Enjolras arrives.

Summary
Xie Lian's last believer is so fervently devoted to him that he seems to think mostly in the form of prayer. That is a terrifying prospect. Xie Lian has never heard of such a case before, not even in hypotheticals, and he finds himself hoping, for his believer's sake, that there is some other explanation for this phenomenon.
Whatever the reason, a low stream of his believer's thoughts hum in the back of Xie Lian's consciousness.
His believer does not seem to be aware of it.
_
When Xie Lian ascends for the third time, he is welcomed back to godhood with prayers that he hadn't expected: an ongoing stream of thought from his sole remaining believer. He gathers quickly that this believer is very old, very powerful, and very, very much in love with him.
For his believer's sake, Xie Lian can cast a spell to shut the prayers out—but only if he has access to spiritual energy.

Summary
Between navigating classes and cultivating his persona as a popular streamer of the MMORPG, “The Untamed,” Wei Wuxian’s final year of college is shaping up to be busier than ever. Good thing he has friends to turn to in times of stress--like Bluetooth, one of his most dedicated fans, and Hanguang-jun, another top player who frequently teams up with Wei Wuxian in the game.
Now if only he could get his classmate Lan Wangji to say more than two sentences to him...

Summary
“Xiongzhang,” Wangji choked out, sliding to the ground in front of Xichen. “I love him. He is the other half of my soul.”
Oh. No. Oh, no.
The Beifeng, that mighty empire of the north, invaded more than a year ago, moving inexorably south and east, toppling the cities of Qinghe and Qishan, and now wait, camped outside of Lanling.
In order to buy peace, the chief of the Lan clan has given the Beifeng warlord a gift, his second oldest son in marriage.
However, he did not consult his oldest son, and when Xichen finds out that his brother has been given away, as though he was no more than a vase or painting, he makes a plan. He, too, can give a gift, and he will not regret it.
What he finds with the Beifeng, with the warlord, with the people he meets, and within himself, is not at all what he expects.
