Summary
Megumi watches Yuuji roll up his T-shirt sleeve, an action he thinks is wholly gratuitous—not that he’s complaining. He admires the way Yuuji's bicep strains against skin as he flexes his arm. When he returns his gaze to Yuuji's face, the other man looks smug.
“I said, what will you give me if I break the record?”
Megumi feels his cheeks heat as he examines the scoreboard, avoiding Yuuji's knowing eyes. The current high score is 871 out of 999. That’s pretty high.
He remembers the boxing gloves in Yuuji's room as he takes in the cocksure expression on the other man’s face.
Megumi wants to wipe that smirk away.

The boys go to an arcade.

Summary
When the thick black fog of the curse clears, there’s a child standing in front of Xie Lian. He’s small—he’s so, so small—and as soon as he sees Xie Lian, he wraps his arms around himself and hunches his shoulders like he’s trying to make himself even smaller. There is not a single spark of recognition in that wide, wild eye.
“...San Lang?!”
When a curse turns Hua Cheng into a child again, it's up to Xie Lian to take care of him. It's a task easier said than done, when Hua Cheng's memories have regressed along with the rest of him.

Summary
The distance between them was sickening. Both not far enough and all too far. He discarded his mask in an instant. When it clattered to the floor, a ghoul dipped low to gather it. The plains of his face had morphed into liquid moonlight, so aggressively pale it made his hair seem pitch black. But Rae found it difficult to focus on his furious gaze, honing on the crimson stitches lacing his neck. This wasn’t just her Emperor, her favourite character, this was a man she’d ruined trying to save him.
And perhaps, because it was the man she’d verbally fought for in her years past, in recent present with Cobra, perhaps because it was the same boy she’d wanted to protect and miserably destroyed, all that welled within her was affection. The urge to hug him so strong it overwhelmed her rationality, her regard for the precious life she’d torn the plot apart to protect.
“You lied to me,” he told her, his voice like flint igniting.
OR. Rae ruined the man she loved and had discarded him like a used tissue. She’d done everything to warrant his revenge, but when Rae saw Key, the first thing she did was hug him.

Summary
“Wait, wait,” Lance stood up. “You are driving to Houston.”
“Yes.”
“A drive that’s over thirty hours.”
“Yup.”
“By yourself.”
“Sure seems like it.”
“To clean out a storage container of your dead mother, that you have never met, that is now legally under your name.”
“Correct.”
Lance wondered if Keith had lost his mind.
“Keith, there could be dead bodies in that storage container!” He argued. “Or a meth lab. Or worse, mannequins dressed up like dolls sat at a tea party or some weird shit like that.”
Keith offered him an unimpressed blink. “I’ll be fine.”
“Keith, this is insane. You can’t go by yourself!”
Keith glanced at him as he shouldered his backpack.
“Come with me then.”
And that small, damned smirk tilted Keith’s lips as he held Lance’s gaze.
“What do you think, Lance?” He asked. “2,251 miles. Think you could handle it?”
Lance stopped short.
Contemplated.
And, well. Lance had nothing to do either.
So. That’s how this all started.Two disasters drive cross-country to clean out a storage container that may have dead bodies hidden inside and, hey, maybe a bit of love as well.
