Summary
“Ah.” Wei Ying frowns. “Lan Zhan, I—I hope it’s okay with you that they’ve teamed us up? I thought … someone said you’d asked for a co-commentator, so I thought the ISU ran it by you first, but if you’re … well, you know …” he trails off, seeming at a loss for words.
“They did not ask me,” Lan Zhan says. “If they had, I would have told them that I work better alone. However”—he holds up a hand to forestall what appears to be another torrent of words from Wei Ying—“I have been informed that a co-commentator is a requirement for the Olympic commentary job, and so I will make this situation work.”
Lan Zhan, popular figure skating commentator, reluctantly gains a co-commentator.

Summary
The next day, there's a note clipped to the edge of his trellis, along with a little packet of radish seeds: “Thank you for looking after my plot! I was soooo busy with work this last week that I couldn't come to visit it. Your garden is so organized, how do you do it?”
Lan Zhan finally gets a spot in the allotment garden in the park across from his house, and begins a correspondence with the mysterious gardener in the neighbouring plot.

Summary
“Ah, Mobei Jun, there’s your loyal human,” Luo Binghe says, from where he sits sprawled on the throne. Mobei Jun, lurking in the shadows behind him, doesn’t glance in Shang Qinghua’s direction; he looks much as he usually does, and yet—somehow—different. The two women draped across Luo Binghe’s knees both look up, though. One of the women is Sha Hualing and that—that’s Liu Mingyan, and … Shang Qinghua doesn’t want to look at the woman leaning against Luo Binghe’s shoulder, because that is Qin Wanrong, and she is supposed to be dead. She died at the Immortal Alliance Conference! She was eaten by the Nu Yuan Chan!
Proud Immortal Demon Way, Shang Qinghua thinks, stomach lurching. He’s been transported into Proud Immortal Demon Way.

Summary
In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.
This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

Summary
“Did you break the ward to come in?” Lan Wangji asks, point-blank. He has his sword out and pointed at Wei Wuxian, no bothering with niceties like hello I’m Lan Wangji, and you are?
Wei Wuxian eyes the sword, but doesn’t react. He keeps lazing back on the roof, casually drinking his wine, as if this is the usual way he meets new people. (And maybe it is! I don’t know your life, Wei Wuxian!)
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian meet on Season 8 of The Cultivation World. Ouyang Zizhen writes the recaps.

Summary
Eight weeks into their final year at Watford, Baz finally returns—and he's riddled with nightmares. Simon, for more reasons than he'd like to think about, has been sleeping poorly too.
Frayed nerves and a fragile truce carve out a space for them in the dark of night. Their room atop the tower becomes a place where they can talk and ache and profess and yearn, slowly, slowly.
Sharing a room (with a siren) (with an open fire) is sometimes more than either one can bear. Baz wants more, but can't have it; Simon has no idea what he wants.

Summary
“If you don’t meet your spouse at Watford, Penny says, you could end up alone—or going on singles tours of Magickal Britain when you’re 32.” -Rainbow Rowell, Carry On
Prepare yourself for the most magickal week of your life. Booking is now open for the Coven’s yearly 5 day, 5 night tour of Magickal Britain. You’ll soak up the rich history and intriguing secrets of the World of Mages in an intimate group of only 15-20 single Mages. Immerse yourself with the Coven’s full-time historian and guide who will make these fascinating historical sites come alive. Included in the cost of your tour will be group transportation throughout the week, 5 nights accommodation, and most meals. Fall in love with the World of Mages all over again. Join us for the experience of a lifetime. We know it’s one you’ll never forget.
Simon Snow (29, single, and working for the Coven) finds himself press-ganged into covering for the usual guide on the Coven's yearly tour of magickal Britain. All he has to do is read from the cards and make sure the same number of mages gets back on the coach as got off. Doable. Until he sees the guest list. And then it's time to sow some chaos.

Sword of Mages Tattoo by RooBadley

Summary
Sword of Mages Tattoo caters to a niche clientele. No walk-ins, no flash, and absolutely no mentions of Basilton Pitch.
Until, that is, he's suddenly back from the continent, standing in their shop, and in need of a space to work.
Will Simon be able to set aside his grudge from art school and act like a professional adult? Probably not.
Will Baz be able to stop grinding his teeth in frustration whenever Simon's shirt hitches up while he's working? Definitely not.
Will Penny and Shepard figure things out before these two morons? Oh, absolutely.- Language:

Restoration Ecology - The REmix (Baz's version) by RoyalAsstronaut

Summary
Baz's life has not been going well. He knows Simon has never forgiven him for everything that happened with the Mage at the beginning of 8th year, and he's spent the ten years since Simon left Watford trying to forget about him. Now, weighed down by three degrees he can’t use and a family business he doesn’t want to join, Baz's prospects seem pretty bleak—that is, until a position opens up in the Coven. To his surprise, Baz gets the job, which means he'll be working directly with Simon. For Baz, the job means has a chance to prove that he’s not useless—and, better yet, try prove he wasn’t trying to ruin Simon’s life all those years ago. Unfortunately, that’s not at all how Simon sees it…
