    Summary

    [ The man who rises from the closest table to the thrones is younger than Dan Heng expected. He is tall and his dark eyes are hooded by even darker brows, his mouth set in a pin-straight line. His hair sits behind his head in a bun that spills out of its binds.

    Their eyes catch for a heartbeat and Dan Heng averts his immediately, shifting them to his bare, dirty feet. In the corner of his eyes, the General approaches the display in the middle of the room. The plinth to the left of Dan Heng hosts a casket of gold and the one on the right holds a sword.

    “Surely that sword,” he hears someone say.

    “Oh, but last time he chose a sword too. He might take that bow there.”

    Just as Dan Heng is beginning to feel a modicum of relief in thinking this man must prefer weapons, a shadow falls over him.

    “This one.” ]

    ~

    After six years of imprisonment, Dan Heng is no longer a stranger to cages. When the general of the conquering nation chooses him as a war prize, he has already resigned himself to a fate of servitude.

    But the general's motive lie elsewhere and another fate awaits him in this land of eternal snow.

    Summary

    Irontomb no longer exists, or maybe it never existed at all. Amphoreus greets the universe beyond the skies, broken but determined to see the real future on the horizon.

    It's a happy ending, but Phainon feels as if the entire world is falling on top of him like rocks, as if he's drowning in the sudden reality of it all like a sailor lost at sea.

    So he makes the only choice he can think of: he runs away.

    A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs and two experts on interstellar travels follow him.

    Summary

    “So, run it by me one more time.”

    Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”

    “Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”

    --

    OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

    Summary

    During the hours of daylight, he could wrench himself out of bed, eat and drink, bathe and dress himself. He could function. But he did it all in a sort of numb trance, like performing the steps of a ritual that he knew had no purpose and wouldn’t affect a thing. At night, he lay awake for hours, curled up around himself, until Feng Xin came to lie down beside him and he could hold onto a sleeve. They never talked about it. Only then did he let his eyes fall closed and sleep, comforted by the fact that if Feng Xin left, he would have to be woken first.

    But this was now his biggest problem.

    ‘Why are you still here?’

    A story about Childhood Enemies, who become Teenage Rivals, who become Young Adult Friends, who become something more... but it is most definitely not a story about Love.

    E rating is for Chapter 14.

    (It's absolutely a story about love.)
