    Summary

    vellichor

    n. the pensive nostalgia and temporality of used bookstores; the feeling evoked by the scent of old books or paper.

    **********

    "sir? the library's closing."

    liu jianghe raises his head from where it rests against a copy of shi nai'an's water margin, blinking away the remnants of sleep from bleary eyes.

    his gaze drifts upwards and focuses on the young man leant over him, a small frown etched onto elegant, porcelain features. he distantly wonders if he's still dreaming.

    "...your eyes." he hears himself mumble.

    the man's eyebrows pinch together. he cocks his head to the side in a silent question.

    "they're pretty."

    Summary

    She-Ra doesn't scar.

    In her mind’s eye, the Horde insignia remains emblazoned on her back: jagged, scabbed-over crimson lines permanently carving Hordak’s wings into her shoulder blades in Catra’s uneven handwriting. The proof of Adora's identity spelled out violently across her skin.

    In the mirror, there’s absolutely nothing there.

    Summary

    Adora’s eyes fly open. And there, standing beside Adora’s bed, is Catra. She is dressed the same as before—still clad in that dark evening gown, her delicate figure framed against the moonlight spilling between the curtains.

    Catra watches Adora with unmistakable amusement. A smirk spreads across her lips, revealing a pair of white glistening fangs—each one tapered to a deadly tip.

    (In other words, former lovers Adora and Catra reunite after many years apart, only to discover that Catra is now a vampire—and Adora is a vampire hunter. Can they still find love despite their differences?)

    Summary

    Lord Catra isn’t what Adora expected.

    For instance, she’s not a man. The stories don’t talk about that part.

    As time passes, Catra and Adora are forced to face the mysteries of the past, and worse—they have to face their feelings that were ignored for years.
