    Summary

    Through the window, boats drift in a mirror of the yawning sky, fringed with wide lotus leaves and the pale yellow blossoms that grow year-round. Geese call in the distance. And there again, drifting through the air—the scent of sesame shaobing, and hot dry noodles, and the sizzle-pop of frying oil. Like the heat-haze of summer, softened with time. Like the taste of home.

    Or, four meals Wei Wuxian shares during his travels, and one he shares with his soulmate.

    Summary

    “Is it your birthday?” A single bolt of fear cracks through Wei Wuxian; if he’d somehow lost track of days, as he’s wont to do, and hadn’t done anything for — “Our anniversary?”

    “Of sorts,” Lan Wangji says quietly.

    It’s a day of celebration in the Cloud Recesses.

    Summary

    The story comes out in upset dribs and drabs. Wei Wuxian, the rumour goes, has enthralled a community to do his bidding, and worse yet has suborned Hanguang-jun and forced him to become a concubine of the dreaded Yiling Laozu, treating him as barely more than a courtesan.

    It’s so preposterous he can only laugh. What an absolutely absurd and confounding rumour. As if anyone could look at the unyielding Hanguang-jun and imagine him as a demure concubine… dripping in silk and pearls, looking up at Wei Wuxian through his lashes and promising all matter of pleasures… yeah. What was he thinking about again? Right. It’s a silly rumour, no one could believe it.

    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.
