    Summary

    "I am – I am not saying, don't put words in my mouth -" Kanafinwë Makalaurë wagged his finger at his cousin Findaráto Ingoldo, perched bright-eyed beside him on the edge of the stream - "that it is bad. You know full well that I believe there is no such thing as empirically bad music." They were kicking their feet in the moonlight water, watching the light dance in the fast-flowing spray, and they were both extremely drunk.

    When Tolkien imagined Middle-earth as an ancient Europe, I don't think he meant for me to map nearly a thousand years of European music history, both secular and liturgical, onto Tirion's academic community. (Take comfort, Professor, in the implication that they are all now Catholic.)

    Summary

    The art director calls, "Seungkwan-ah!" over Mingyu's shoulder and the model—Seungkwan—drops his hand and obediently trots over at the summons. Mingyu is left with the terrible certainty that if he had a tail it would be wagging hard enough to sprain.

    Woof, he thinks sadly.

    (Seungkwan is a well-known TV personality. Mingyu takes pictures of him in underwear. Against all odds, they fall in love.)

    Summary

    Jingyan's arranged marriage would have rended her from Lin Shu.

    Which was of course unacceptable. So Lin Shu arranged Jingyan another marriage—to her, and to their husband, a jianghu doctor of little status the Young Master of Lang Ya Hall.

    The Emperor really should have known better than to promise his seventh daughter to Southern Chu.

    Summary

    "May you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you- haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe- I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always- take any form, drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!" - Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

    Summary

    The two of them have never gotten along, not even for a second since they met, and they are, as far as Wonwoo is concerned, sworn enemies.

    So, you can imagine Wonwoo’s surprise when, on a regular Wednesday morning, Wonwoo is making a cup of tea in the office break room and the door slams open against the wall and a heaving, sweaty, panicked Mingyu busts through the doorway and shouts, “YOU NEED TO COME WITH ME RIGHT NOW AND PRETEND TO BE MY BOYFRIEND.”

    Summary

    “Wei Ying.” Lan Wangji murmurs.

    “I’m here.”

    “Wei Ying.”

    Wei Wuxian giggles lightly. The sound seems too bright for the cave they’re stuck in. Yet Lan Wangji memorizes the cadence of that laugh, the high lilt and fall, and brings it close to his heart. “That’s me! Lan Zhan, you stopped crying. Is it because I comforted you?”

    In the xuanwu's cave, Wei Wuxian comforts Lan Wangji.

    Summary

    Doyoung considers himself a moral person, he really does. He’d die before he’d say anything to anyone that a patient has told him in confidence, something that could trace back to them, or any details of a session. No exceptions, no slip-ups, no compromises.

    But sometimes the rest makes him feel like he’s going to explode.

    Summary

    "You worry me," Lan WangJi tells him seriously. He puts his hands on Wei WuXian's knees for lack of a better place to put them. Wei WuXian places his own hands on top of Lan WangJi's, presumably to stop him from trying again to check his bandages.

     

    "You don't need to worry," Wei WuXian says. "I swear I'm fine. I'll tell you if something feels off. You know me, I'm a huge crybaby whiner."

     

    Lan WangJi frowns at him again. It's true that Wei WuXian can be a bit of a crybaby, but only about injuries that don't actually matter. When it's something important, like a ghost curse or a fundamentally unstable necromantic practice, Wei WuXian keeps it to himself. "Ridiculous," Lan WangJi tells him. Wei WuXian grins down at him.

    Summary

    “I read your work in the school paper!”

    “O-Oh?” Poe fixes his posture a little, and resists the urge to straighten his ribbon. He knew he should’ve tied it a little tighter than he usually does this morning. “Er… W-What did you think?” If there’s anything he takes pride in, it’s his writing; most people are turned off easily by the horror themes he likes to use so much, but on the occasion someone does appreciate them, it gives him a feeling not unlike butterflies in his stomach. If Ranpo, of all people, is the latter…

    “I figured out who the murderer was in two paragraphs,” Ranpo says, holding up two fingers, like he really needs to drive the nail in deeper.

    —Or, Poe writes a whole musical in an effort to impress Ranpo.
