    Summary

    “Are you a Sentinel?” he blurts, before remembering Skirk's reticence to questions.

    She doesn’t stop moving, but she does glance at him from the corner of her eye.

    “No,” she says. “But you are a Guide.”

    Ajax blinks, faltering. The woman does not stop there.

    “You have also been blessed by Celestia. That Vision was next to you when I found you. To come into both blessings while in the Abyss.” She pauses. “You’re either extremely fortunate, or perhaps extremely cursed.”

    “A Guide?” Ajax’s brow furrows. “No, I must be a Sentinel.”

    ------
    Ever since Ajax was young, he has dreamed of being a Sentinel like his father. With heightened senses and strength, he could easily be a renowned adventurer, able to make a name for himself.

    Life does not quite work out that way.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu has a bare moment of dismayed comprehension before Luo Binghe is moving again, releasing his hold on Xiu Ya only so that he can swirl around Shen Qingqiu in a blindingly fast movement, getting behind Shen Qingqiu and using his now-free right arm to pin Shen Qingqiu against him, Shen Qingqiu’s back to his chest.

    “Caught you, Shizun,” Luo Binghe says in Shen Qingqiu’s ear, and then he tips them backward through the portal.

    Two years after the Immortal Alliance Conference, Luo Binghe reappears in the Human Realm—directly on Qing Jing Peak, in order to kidnap Shen Qingqiu to the Demon Realm. Little does Shen Qingqiu know, this isn’t the right Luo Binghe.

    The Original Luo Binghe has finally, after years of searching, found a kind Shizun of his own to kidnap and keep in his own universe—and this time, no one is going to take Shizun from him.

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    Liu Qingge has been dosed with pollen, and Binghe knows how this goes. Except, perhaps he doesn't, because the pollen will pass on its own, no need for dual cultivation. With a catch. Well, it's only a month, and then things will go back to normal. And he definitely wants that. He knows what he wants, he's very in touch with his feelings, thank you very much.

    Liu Qingge knows this will be an embarrassing and agonizing month, but he just has to get through it, and then he can go back to avoiding the happy couple. No need to deal with any messy feelings, fraught pasts, or complicated relationships. He's fine. It's fine. Everything is fine.

    Summary

    Urianger deserved far better than Thancred could ever hope to give him. That was why he wouldn’t tell him—about the flowers, about his love. He’d breathe and bear every one of his sins and his mistakes and his lies, all for he who was too good, for he who was too pure—

    (For blossoms were all Thancred would ever be.)
