    Summary

    Ilya is beginning to realize he doesn't belong in Moscow, anymore. But if he's not meant to be in Russia, and Boston doesn't feel like home—where the fuck is he supposed to go?

    By the time Ilya's mother has named every bird in view, he is licking the last drops of ice cream off his fingers.

    “Only a few of them stay here during winter,” she tells him. “Moscow is quite cold then. Sometimes it is better to go elsewhere.”

    Ilya looks up at her, but she is staring into the river, and he imagines her taking flight.

    Summary

    Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.

    Or being out didn’t make him nicer. Being married didn’t make him softer. Being older didn’t make him weaker. And being a father? Well. That’t when things get complicated.

    (He’s really good at that last part. Don’t tell anyone.)

    Summary

    “My apartment,” he says, keeping his tone deliberately even. Casual. “I mean… it’s close by, right? You could stay there instead of dealing with the hotel nonsense.”

    The words hang in the air between them, fragile and irrevocable. Rozanov goes very still.

    Shane feels a flash of panic—wonders if he’s misjudged, if he’s pushed too hard and too fast. He rushes to fill the silence, almost tripping over the words, trying to frame it the way he rehearsed in his head.

    “It’s more practical, right?” He adds. “Less media. No teammates. You’d have your own space. And it’s only until flights start up again. You can leave first thing when they resume.”

    --- After Rose, after Florida, but having barely reconciled since, Shane and Ilya are stuck in Montreal during a snow storm. Shane offers for Ilya to stay in his apartment, and offers up the rest of his heart with it. Or, an alternate take on what happens after Episode 4.

    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.

    Summary

    “You’ve seen the latest announcement from the International Competitive Cultivation Federation, right?” Xie Lian asks. “They’re instituting a new discipline at the World Championships this year.”

    “The doubles, yeah,” Feng Xin says. It’s a smart move. Two-on-two fights and duels are always popular with the audience. People love watching highly skilled people beat the shit out of each other in a controlled environment.

    “I think,” Xie Lian continues, his smile taking on a sly slant, “that you and Mu Qing should team up to represent Xianle.”

    In the world of competitive cultivation, Feng Xin and Mu Qing are hailed as the greatest rivals despite not competing in the same individual disciplines. Now they need to figure out how to be something far more difficult: partners.

    Summary

    “Like, you could’ve said that I’m–”

    “So brave and strong for surviving? Oh, I was so, so worried. Good job for surviving so long without me,” Mu Qing says, rolling his eyes while drawling out the last sentence, words so saccharine they send chills creeping down his spine. “Good boy, Feng Xin.”

    A strange, warm tingle spreads through Feng Xin's body, all the way to the tips of his fingers, as he feels his face flush.

    The first realization that strikes his poor, poor heart: Mu Qing staring at him with his piercing, slightly mean gaze, saying nice things about him however sarcastic it may be, makes his heart burst and skin burn.

    Summary

    Feng Xin finds himself kneeling, too, in front of the ghost. The talisman doesn’t even flutter, because there are no breaths to disrupt it where it lays, so he reaches out to lift one of the bottom corners.

    Carefully, he lifts his other hand and brushes some of the strands of silver hair; it’s soft, perhaps even too soft, but the likeness otherwise isn’t bad. His skin is pale and clear and even shows a faint flush across the cheeks.

    “Qing’er,” Feng Xin says quietly, and wonders if the ghost can even hear him under whatever spell the talisman carries. “... Is it you?”

    -

    A few hundred years ago, Xie Lian tried to get Mu Qing in to study cultivation at the Royal Holy Pavilion, and was denied.

    A few hundred years ago, Feng Xin met the former palace servant Mu Qing at a brothel after the fall of Xianle.

    Now, Feng Xin investigates a ghost that stalks and kills soldiers in the Yong'an capital.

    Summary

    It is a weird thing to wake up and realise that for the first time in 800 years, you are no longer in love. Hua Cheng felt it even before he opened his eyes, could taste it in the back of his throat. Even the air around him felt different: stale, and with a strange odour to it. With his eyes still closed, he took stock of his other mental facilities, and it all came back in order, except—

     

    Except that for the first time in 800 years, he thinks of Xie Lian and feels nothing.

     

    (in which Hua Cheng's devotion gets stolen, and no one is happy about it.)

    Summary

    “Congratulations. I think that might be the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.” Mu Qing sounds… pissed off, yeah, but not as pissed off as Feng Xin thought he would be. Mostly, he sounds wary. “You want to—to kiss me again?”

    Yes. More than anything.

    Out loud, Feng Xin says, “I just don’t want you holding a bad kiss over my head for the rest of eternity. Are you gonna let me make this up to you or are you gonna be a little bitch about it?”

    --

    Feng Xin accidentally steals Mu Qing’s first kiss. Naturally, the only logical solution is to give him another one. And another. And another. And another. And—

    “I wish I was dating him, just so I could dump his ass.”

    Xie Lian’s eyebrows nearly shoot off his face. “You wish you were dating him?”

    “So I could dump him.” Feng Xin doesn’t see what Xie Lian isn’t getting here.

    -

    Mu Qing has an exceptionally bad day. Feng Xin cares way more than he expected to.

    Summary

    Mu Qing continues towards the little gray house behind the wall, and a second later, he sees two figures emerging from somewhere off to the side, evidently a father and son. The father is the easy one to recognize; the child wobbles on short legs next to him, clutching a leafy cabbage in his tiny hands. Black hair sticks up in static peaks, almost like a demon’s horns, and his wide dark eyes peer cautiously at the intruder on the path.

    …Cuocuo?

    So it’s that type of dream. Mu Qing’s steps grind to a halt, and he considers turning back and having Xie Lian take care of this after all.

    -

    Feng Xin, cursed by a magic incense burner, imagines another life with Jian Lan in his dreams. It's left to Mu Qing to try and bring him back.

    “Anything come back to you yet?” Feng Xin asks, steering his shoulder to the side to nudge Mu Qing’s arm.

    Mu Qing doesn’t answer right away, his eyes following a ripple over the water as the breeze blows across its surface. “It’s not accurate to say we’re friends, is it?”

    While investigating some unusual occurrences in a town, Mu Qing loses his memories. Feng Xin takes care of him.

    "Don’t be silly, gege. You’ll have me. All versions of you will have me."

    Lan Zhan can’t help it. "But when?"

    Summary

    “My mother,” he begins, and Wei Ying stops in his tearing up of the grass, and tilts his head to listen. This is one of the things about him that makes Lan Zhan’s heart weak with affection: for someone so loud and constant, his ability to go quiet and listen is unmatched. Wei Ying will be careful with the memories Lan Zhan gives him, he thinks. “My mother used to do it for me. When I was small. I sat on her lap and she braided my hair and we watched the trees sway outside the window.”

    ;

    Lan Zhan loves and loses and loves again.

    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.

    “I want to be someone that deserves your love,” he says.

    “You already are,” says Lan Zhan.

    “I want to be someone that grows in your love.”

    Wei Ying’s cheek smarts when Lan Zhan catches escaped tears with his shirt sleeve. “Then I will love you,” he murmurs, “until you do.”
