    Summary

    "Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself."

     

     

    Eddie is at his breaking point.

    The responsibility of carrying all of the electricity in the house is weighing him down, causing his chronic pain to be the worst it's ever been. He doesn't feel like he can trust anyone else in the house to help him, not that they could when he's the only one with a hold on the electricity, causing him to turn to alcohol more and more. And, above all, he feels completely alone.

    But then, in the midst of a breakdown, his reflection twists into a vision of a tall, strong man with electricity for hair. The man says three words:

     

    "Come find me."

     

    The man haunts Eddie. He knows he can't find the man by following a map or searching the house from top-to-bottom, and his energy is better spent elsewhere, anyway. But a conversation with Maggie points him in a different direction:

    What if Eddie creates the man?

    And what becomes of Eddie after he does?

    Summary

    Maybe it’s a lifetime of carefully guarding himself, maybe it’s a disdain for this whole idea, or maybe it’s just the fact that he’s been holding back with Buck, holding back with Bobby, holding back with his parents. Bottle all of that up and something has to give. “Buddy, I don’t think God’s been close to me in years. If he ever was.”

    The priest doesn’t react. Just calmly asks, “Let me phrase it like this, then: what do you need to say out loud? Maybe something you’ve never said before.”

    And this. This is what Eddie had been driving at. What might actually bring him peace instead of unsettling memories that drip cold down his spine.

    “I love him. I love him and he doesn’t know.”

    OR

    Eddie confesses to Buck, fucks a priest, and finds his way—not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Tashi stares directly into Art’s eyes, like she’s searching for something. Blinks, shrugs nonchalantly. Speaks casually, like she’s complaining about the assignments she has due this week.

    “Pretty accurate, though. He fucks like he’s trying to put a baby in you, like, every single time. It’s ridiculous.”

    Tashi’s still talking—he can see her lips moving, but he’s not paying any attention to what’s coming out, because his train of thought has skidded to a halt before careening into a ravine and exploding on impact.

    “Oh my God, your face is so red right now.”

    Patrick visits Tashi at Stanford. Art gets some new information that’s kind of ruining his life. Tashi, like always, has a plan.

    Summary

    “I’ll help,” Lan Wangji says.

    “Hey, Lan Zhan...” Wei Wuxian unfolds his leg and gives his foot a playful kick. “I told you to think about it! This means I’d be here for a long time, taking up your time, your space, your peace. And I can’t pay you! I have nothing of worth to give. It isn’t as simple as-”

    “I’ll do it,” he says again, more forcefully this time. “You don’t have to give me anything.”

    Wei Wuxian looks away, hiding a small smile. Doesn’t he know Lan Wangji would do anything for him, by now? Doesn’t he understand that he holds Lan Wangji’s life in his hands?

    -

    Post-CQL Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses to ask for Lan Wangji's help with his new golden core.
    Together, they learn how to communicate, how to ask for things, and how to touch each other.

    Their relationship develops in between quiet dinners in the Jingshi, meditation sessions, core training and a lot of Lan Juniors speculation on whether or not they're actually together yet.
