    Summary

    Competitive Cultivation. Basically if the Hunger Games were Asian.

    If you, like me just last week, had no idea what the fuck Competitive Cultivation is, you might be thinking ‘how is John Oliver going to ruin gardening competitions tonight’? Because to us English speakers, the term ‘competitive cultivation’ sounds like a bunch of people trying to win first prize at the local county fair for ‘biggest rutabaga’.

    I don’t care if that thing is the size of my head, the only reasonable use for a vegetable that big is as a dildo, and I am not putting that up my butt!

    But to the twenty-or-so East Asian countries that participate in the International Nighthunting Union’s competitions, Competitive Cultivation — or CompCult — is a big fucking deal.

    Bonus scenes and worldbuilding extras from and so my heart beats wildly.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian opens the letter and skims through, feeling his frown deepen with every line. “Oh. A request from Yiling. This man Tong Shen writes, 'I can’t explain what’s happening — you wouldn’t believe me if I tried. The hills are moving and they are hungry. Please send aid, Hanguang-jun, this humble one begs you.' Well, my curiosity is certainly piqued."

    A few months after the events of Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a night hunt of an unusual sort: The Burial Mounds are spreading, quickly and with no apparent explanation. 

    In Wei Wuxian, it brings old, long-buried things bubbling to the surface.

    Summary

    “We hear that His Excellency might be married by summer’s end,” the merchant’s wife says and Wei Wuxian freezes, his heart in his throat. “The Gusu Lan sect has been buying enough red silk and brocade that the merchants in Caiyi can’t satisfy the demand.”

    He feels himself grow brittle inside, like a flick of a finger to his temple might make him shatter. His ears are ringing.

    “Who’s the lucky bride?” he asks despite himself. His tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.

    Or: The story of a marriage.
