    Summary

    It’s been too long since Xue Yang has felt the cold edge of a blade against his throat, and even longer since it was personal. Being hunted by anonymous thugs in a bleak grime-crusted port town is one thing, but when your very own enemy comes all the way out to a bleak grime-crusted port town specifically to find you? That’s special.

    Summary

    The shape of Xichen’s eyes shifts from searching to agonised as he catalogues every visible cut and bruise. “You’re hurt,” he says, hand raised as if he wants to press his thumb to the stitched up cut on Song Lan’s cheek. There is a long, heartbeat-heavy moment where Song Lan doesn’t breathe before Xichen seems to realise what he’s doing. He curls his fingers into a fist as he lowers his hand. “Sorry, of course you are. Your ship exploded.”

    Summary

    He wants to press his gratitude into Song Lan’s skin. He wants to sink deep enough that he can find his way back later.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen has known many kinds of silence.

    He knows the space between sips of tea and polite nods. He knows the solemn quiet of shared loss and the breathless joy of shared secrets. He knows the stillness after a kiss, after a promise. After it’s broken. And intimately, he knows the brittle distance of a sect who will not tolerate the honest clamour of grief.

    He has lived his entire life in things unsaid, but Lan Xichen has never known a silence like Song Lan. For the first time in four years, he finds himself curious.

    Summary

    “That’s the best part,” Xue Yang says, gleeful again. “You’re my boyfriend for the weekend.”

    “No,” Song Lan says immediately.

    Summary

    It’s not a surprise when it happens. They’ve been circling closer for weeks now, one languid moment to the next with the slow inevitability of the tide. The last few months have held several orbits, years condensed into the brush of fingers over a wrist, into looks that lingered too long but still ended too soon.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian wakes to the sound of a guqin with a quiet sorrow lodged in his throat. It takes a few moments to sift through the memories and make sense of the dread pressing him down.

    The music keeps playing. It doesn’t ease the ache in his heart, or the aches everywhere else in his body, but it clears enough space for him to breathe.

    Summary

    Every year on February 14th, Lan Xichen’s office ends up overflowing with flowers. Nie Mingjue knows it comes with being the face of the company, but even for a face as pretty as Lan Xichen’s, the quantity is excessive.

    Lan Xichen weathers the teasing with his usual grace and an embarrassed smile. Nie Mingjue weathers it with a scowl and a short fuse.
