    First love is supposed to be sweet, innocent, and hopeful. When it blossoms on late spring however, harsher realities render every piece of it into shreds, as it falls and withers and dies.

    Summary

    What Nezha has, it’s an absence. He was raised next to the river, in a city that knew the ebb and flow of the tide. The flood would come in the summer, a wet and hungry thing, swallowing shorelines before breaching the city. He feels the same way now, when the water had receded suddenly, violently; left only the traces of what once was. Nezha did not need the Dragon to teach him that lesson—he’d lived it all on his own.

    Water, he says to Kitay, doesn’t know how to let go. It only drowns.

    This time, the living haunt the dead.

    It’s not that he’s scared of Heather. Intimidated might be a better word; he simultaneously despises and admires her ruthlessness and cunning. She’s one of the few people he knows who could keep up with him in a battle of wits. Not to mention, Heather is drop dead gorgeous. (That final revelation is completely off the record, and something Noah wouldn’t admit even with a gun to his head.)

    Or, Noah and Heather run into each other at the World Tour wrap party.

    Summary

    Jinu can’t leave without Gwi-Ma’s permission, but sometimes he stands under the open and roiling sky and watches the barrier cascade in musical waves overhead, thousands of glimmering blue filaments that undulate with deceptive delicacy, offering, if even for a second, a glimpse of an overworld that rouses itself to song. It is not lost on Jinu that he serves a warped inverse of that purpose down here.

    But demons don’t flock to his music. They shy away from it, wilting rather than blooming, because on a very literal level they understand that his voice isn’t for them. Gwi-Ma is a jealous god, and he cannot abide it if the rewards that his gifts reap don’t return to him, always, in the end.

    Or: In which Jinu makes choices (a real mixed bag of them), trips into a situationship, regrets everything, lies to himself and others, and decides he wants to be a better person after all, actually—not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Celine says it so easily: "Rumi-yah, hide it until we can fix you."

    It's her skin... Damnit, it's in her skin, where Rumi can't reach with her nails to claw it out.

    The most sickening thing about Rumi is her appetite.

    Summary

    “I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.

    “Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.

    She freezes.

    It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.

    She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

    Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

    Haibara, Suguru, Nanami, Satoru. What was the point of all of this? She didn’t think there was one after all.

    “Dammit,” Shoko decided to mutter after a minute of silence. “Our wedding will be so empty.”

    Utahime laughed, but the sound was as bitter as the taste of smoke. “Is Mei Mei really the only one left?”

    “I don't think she will come.”

    Or,

    In all her losses Shoko always had one constant, Utahime.

    Summary

    “What happened to your face?” Are her first words, voice scratchy and drained.

    He blinks, the previous melancholy in his eyes pushed back to accompany confusion as he stares at her, “What?”

    “Your face.” She repeats - for once, a girl of few words.

    He reaches a hand up to his eyebrow, wincing slightly when he makes contact with the cut there, shaking his head, “Just…the longest day of my life.”

    Summary

    "Jinx!" he calls, feels the sharp sting of sastisfaction when the movement ceases; there was no point in trying to be stealthy here, he knows that she knows this place better than he does, knows that if she wanted to evade him, she would. "I know you're there."

    For a moment, only silence and the faint whisper of polluted air answers his call. Ekko just steps into the building entirely, out of the doorway, and waits.

    "The boy savior, come for me once again," her voice finally echoes out, ringing through the space around machines, raspy and taunting, playful and haunted all in one. "Aren't you gonna come inside? It's okay, I don't bite, much."

    Summary

    Jinx frowned as the airship rose into the sky, blasting off into the sunset and promising adventure in the unknown worlds outside the bubble of Piltover and Zaun.

    She stepped back off the dock, watching the airship become a speck on the horizon before tugging the hood of her cloak over her head and retreating into the undercity.

    Leaving, as Jinx was slowly realizing, was easier said than done.

    or

    Jinx had every intention of walking away, but the memories of an old life hold her back. A chance encounter on a rooftop shows her that maybe that isn't such a bad thing. And that - maybe - she's right where she's meant to be.

    Summary

    "I brought you here, for space," Ekko explains when Jinx drags herself out of his lap, stands on shaky legs to get a better look. "Uh, sorry, I just thought the crowd was overwhelming you."

    "Why do you care?" Jinx rasps, her voice scratching against her throat. "Why did you bring me to your space in the first place?"

    "It's what I told you," Ekko says, so gently, more gently than Jinx thinks she's ever deserved. "And I… I've given up on you, before. I don't want to make that mistake again. Okay?"

    Summary

    "Shoko stares at the unopened box of nicotine gum on her coffee table. Utahime had bought it for her because she was afraid Shoko would return to smoking a packet of cigarettes a day like how she was when Gojo was sealed. She hasn’t told Utahime she’s stopped smoking, not because she wants to quit, but because she can’t pick up a stick without feeling like she’s waiting for someone who will never return to come back."

    Summary

    ' It's at that moment you understand that you love him, you truly do, you always have. That you'll love him not just now but that you've loved, love and will love him forever.

     

    How cruel it is that you can only realise this when you may lose him. '

     

    ---

    An incident in 2018 spurs a reunion between you and an old friend, and after several conversations at daybreak and hours spent reminiscing on the past together, things go well.

    That is, as well as they can when the lives you live threaten to rip this away from you every waking moment.
