    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    Summary

    “Well, I have to tell myself something to keep my mind off the fact that you never know when to stop talking.”

    “Yeah, because you don’t talk at all. You lay back and, oh I don’t know, maybe you think of England.”

    “Maybe I might say something about how to fuck me better if only for once you’d shut the fuck up—

    Summary

    Xia Fei grins, unaware. A sour feeling curdles deep in the cavity of Liu Xiao’s chest in a slow killing. “Did you miss me that much?”

    I did. Liu Xiao wants to say, but doesn’t. He stops — hesitates. Then: replaces them with a practiced smile. The words die a brutal death at the back of his throat by the lined firing squad of his teeth. “Not at all. I saw you yesterday, after all."

    // or: In this one, Liu Xiao finds himself no longer a stranger.

    Summary

    Li Tianchen is the kind of person who believes that harm is a natural consequence of the way he expresses love. It stands to reason, then, that Liu Xiao should provide an environment where Li Tianchen is allowed to be dangerous.

    After all: what are friends for?

    Summary

    Liu Xiao holds the match between his fingers with less delicate care than he holds his microphone onstage. Li Tianchen frowns, blurts out before he can ask, “you taking up smoking, or?”

    The artificially-fake smile on Liu Xiao’s face would make anyone else think they’ve upset him, but Li Tianchen knows Liu Xiao well, knows his strangeness and odd intensity and pretentiousness the way knowing someone for a very long time settles into your bones. So, he doesn’t think Liu Xiao is mad, but he can tell Liu Xiao is judging him when he says, “it’s in bad form to adopt bad habits that drive the fans away.”

    “Yeah, because the gambling isn’t a bad habit,” Li Tianchen mutters, but he keeps his eyes on the bright-orange flame.

    or, liu xiao, li tianchen, and a stolen moment after the crushing high of performing. / li twins week day one: neo aurora au.

    Summary

    “What are you always so stressed for, little one?” Vein asks.

    Liu Xiao stills for a moment. Blinks once, twice. Tilts his head and says with a laugh, “I’m not sure what you mean,” but there’s an edge that wasn’t there a second ago. Calm. He reels himself back in, reins in the off-kilter smile. Trust Vein to mess up even this. He’s always been particularly difficult to leash.

    A gun at his throat, copper in his mouth, and intertwining threads unraveling.

    Summary

    Vein kisses him the same way that he slings an arm around his shoulder and the same way he reaches out to hit him in a spar, to press on a bruise: easy and not with romance, but as if grounding something wandering away. As if filling something cold and empty up with dry kindling and a spark. Liu Xiao leans into each touch identically.

    “I’m in love with you,” Aki says tonelessly, tapping his cigarette out. He lets it fall to the sidewalk, turning away before it hits the ground.
    “Oh,” Angel says, just as tonelessly. “That’s fucking tragic, Hayakawa.”

    Summary

    “So you lied to me,” said Cheng Xiaoshi. To that Lu Guang could say nothing—he only looked away, pained. Cheng Xiaoshi felt sick. He didn’t know whether he needed to sit down or throw up, or beat his fists bloody against Lu Guang’s silence.

    The worst part was that he had started to come around to it, near the end. Maybe the past didn’t need to be changed; maybe everyone who was dead was already gone, maybe everything was done and past. He’d met the ghosts, he’d carried the messages. It was supposed to be enough. But all this time…

    Or: Cheng Xiaoshi finds out.

    Summary

    You don’t listen to me at all, Lu Guang wanted to say, but didn’t. Cheng Xiaoshi saw it anyway, clear as day; his own expression was plainly smug, You don’t want me to listen to you all the time, do you? And then the ghost, extending like a long shadow behind him: It wouldn’t save him. You know it won’t.

    Lu Guang fragments his life. He’s looking for a miracle.

    Summary

    “You know,” said Cheng Xiaoshi; his voice had shifted strangely, “I had a weird dream last night. It was a little scary. I was lost—I wasn’t alone, but I was by myself—in a big, dark forest. The forest had no trees. The trees were made out of knives. Here’s the part that I don’t understand. I was dying, and I was you, because I didn’t want you to die. You were me, and you were also dying because you didn’t want me to die either. And we were both lost, and we were both alone, but we were both together.”

    He said, “What do you think? Some people put a lot of weight on dreams, you know. Does this reveal anything about me?”

    Or: Lu Guang has a conversation with an old friend.

    Viktor’s hands still. His fingers hover poised at the point of interruption, midway through reattaching the dented panelling of his thigh, fingertip-bruised. He spares a glance at the body on the bed to his right.

    “Yes.”

    Ronan had to crane his head back, pale throat bared, to look at Blue upside down. “Noah said you said you’d go out with him. You know, if he was alive and shit. What about me?”

    “You are alive. And shit.”

    “No duh, dumbass. I meant, would you go out with me? If I asked?”

    Blue blinked at him. “Ronan, you don’t want to go out with me.”

    Ronan’s eye roll was impressive in its thoroughness. “Yeah, yeah, but, you know. If I did.”
