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
Still, however impossible moving feels at the moment, he must stir imperceptibly, his breathing must shift to a slightly faster pace because the bed he’s laid upon dips and sways and hands come to gently grasp his shoulders.
It’s only with their warmth that he realizes how cold he is.
“Liam? Can you hear me?”
..................................
Through the non-linear struggle of healing, of growing beyond burdens of a blood-tainted past, and the aches of learning to once again love a body and soul rejected, only one thing remains unchanged - Sherlock will never let go of William's hand.

Summary
The first time she meets Lady Ningguang of the Liyue Qixing, Beidou decides right then and there that she's going to dig deep beneath the white-haired woman's skin. By no means is she any expert on the intricacies of the human soul, but there's something utterly intriguing about the mysterious Tianquan herself.
Or, Beidou and Ningguang don't see eye to eye when they first meet. That's okay, though. Really.

Summary
“You are infuriating,” Ningguang says, clenching her teeth.
“I know,” Beidou says, smirking. Then, boldly as Beidou does, she reaches her arm under the table and slides her hand down the curve of Ningguang’s waist, fingers lingering at her hip like the slow slick tide of waves, rushing water. “It’s why you like me.”

Summary
Bright Moon was a small tourist town. The kind of place people visited, not the kind of place they stayed in. So for someone like Adora, looking to take a little time to grow up and prepare herself for the next step in her life, spending a year here made sense.
It was just supposed to be a stop in the road to bigger and better things. But the people were so nice and Adora had never really had a lot of friends growing up.
Then there was Catra. The kind of person that could throw a wrench into even the most well thought out plan.

Summary
This necklace - a dark blue band with a silver pendant - was a promise, more than anything. A promise Asami intended to make to Korra that meant forever. That meant no matter how often the world called on Korra to save it, Asami would be here for her, waiting and ready to tend to her wounds and find her smile again.
Asami and Korra found their happy ending. If only the world would let them enjoy it.

Summary
Catra woke slowly.
Senses returned to her one by one, and the re-acquisition of each came with its own profound sense of regret. There was a coppery, unpleasant smell mixed with the wild scents of earth and sweat. Hearing—well, that wasn’t working too well. All she could hear was a distant ringing and the repeating echo of a deafening crack, trapped within her mind.
Pain, though, that was working just fine.

What do you get when you mix a broken runestone, two injured ex-best friends, and the bottom of a canyon that may or may not be full of things that want to kill you? Answer: a lot of pain, but maybe, just maybe, reconciliation.
If they last that long.

Summary
'Adora hates thinking about Catra, because she knows she’s betraying her brother. Adam likes Catra, and Catra is probably interested in him, too. Every single girl that ever talks to Adora tends to only be doing it because they want to know things about her ‘hot’ brother.
She gets it, honestly. She does. Adam is the typical dream guy.
She understands why girls always ask her about him. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt when it happens.'
Or, Adora and her twin brother Adam like the same girl.

Summary
“Aren’t you two—”
“If you’re done talking about Adora and Catra getting married,” says Entrapta, with all the subtlety and tact of a sledgehammer, “I have calculated the voltage needed…”
Wherever the rest of Entrapta’s sentence is going to go, it falls away. The whole room falls away as understanding hits Catra like a bolt of lightning, an electrifying shock to her system that leaves her reeling. Getting married? Her and Adora? Questions well up on her tongue — What? Why? — and she doesn’t realize she has fumbled through those fragmented inquiries until Frosta answers her.
“Um. You’re wearing Adora’s pin.”

Summary
“You look out for me, and I look out for you.”
Catra really, truly thought that no matter how the world grew or shook or crumbled, there would always be a Catra so long as there was an Adora, and an Adora so long as there was a Catra.
“You promise?”
Catra wanted it to be true. She wanted to believe Adora’s promise so badly, she turned herself into a liar.
Because that was the nature of promises, after all. Either promises only make liars—or only liars make promises. It was a chicken-egg problem to be sure, but the fact remained that Adora lied to Catra. And by believing Adora’s promise, Catra lied to herself.
(A convergent, non-linear character study of Catra—past, present, and future. Featuring Catra's POV on canon, pre-canon, deleted scenes, and post-canon)

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
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.
