Summary
She finds herself back in front of the alcohol. Maomao's hands itch to grab more, drink more, but something in her reminds her not to drink for the sake of feeling better. Then she remembers it, Shisui dancing and blushing with some girl, some girl that's not her, and it hurts.
aka
It’s getting a little harder for Maomao to consider Shisui a one night stand. It’s getting a lot harder to convince herself she’s still straight, too.

Summary
You two walk in a comfortable silence. You stare at the back of Rafayel's head, the gentle waves of his purple hair ruffled by the wind. Your heart aches, and you can't stop yourself from asking, "Why did you call me?"
He turns his head slightly towards you and slows down his pace. "I didn't want to be alone."
aka
Rafayel invites you to see the sunrise and you don't remember ever seeing it before with him.

Summary
The ocean did not, could not remember a time before Rafayel. It seemed to bend at his every whim, lurch at his every move, love over his kind demeanor and gentle nature. The ocean loves him. And in turn, Rafayel loved it.
Perhaps that's why the merfolk were confused, then, when the ocean grew dark.
aka
Merfolk prince Rafayel meets a human artist and falls in love. If only things could remain so simple.

Summary
When Zoey leans in one night and whispers, “Wanna take a break?”—the kind of break they definitely can’t write into their study schedule—everything changes. Between textbooks and highlighters, kisses spill across Rumi’s desk, one break turns too long, and exams suddenly aren’t the only thing leaving them breathless.

Summary
"In Lemurian," Rafayel starts, thumb tracing seemingly aimless lines along the back of your palm. "There is a word for love that is derived from the word give."
Or: Maybe the only way that a God can love is by giving himself wholly -- agape love. Rafayel doesn't like how the museum staff undermine his past life's love for his bride by using a sub-par description, and you want to learn Lemurian.
