    Summary

    Then, Clark’s eyes met his, and he pulled away so quickly that the sound of his retreat whipped through the air. His face, for a moment, was startlingly open, and naked grief cracked harshly through his expression like a fist shattering the surface of a frozen lake. Then, it was gone, and the slate was wiped clean as though there had been nothing but a mild smile there since the very beginning.

    But Bruce knew what he’d seen.

    “How long?” he asked.

    Clark’s mouth twisted. “I don’t know why I thought I’d be able to keep it from you,” he said softly. “You know me too well. Was that even five minutes?”

    “Clark.”

    Clark’s lips turned up into a smile, fracturing his face, his eyes glittering shards of lapis lazuli. “How long for what?” he asked. “For how long we were married? Or for how long it’s been since you died?”

    Summary

    Clark heard it just as he stepped out the front entrance of The Daily Planet’s building. The sun had already set, a chilly autumn breeze dragging through his coat. It had been a late evening for him, catching up on drafts for his next few articles before some other emergency stole his attention from his work.

    “Kal-el.”

    He straightened, perking towards Gotham. Something cold gripped his heart as he listened for that familiar heartbeat. The voice was unmistakable; low, rough, and steady, one that grounded Clark almost as quick as Ma’s. In battle, hearing it usually meant there was a plan, that Clark could worry a little less about details; because the man he trusted the most – with his life and the lives of his family – had it under control. It soothed Clark when he faltered, bolstered him when his strength wavered, and steadied him when he teetered on the edge of sensory madness.

    And that voice sounded afraid.

    Clark was suited up and hurtling through the air towards Gotham before Bruce whispered again.

    “Kal–” came his quiet gasp. “I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    “Please, you don’t have to forge one for me if it’s too much trouble,” Yanqing pleaded. “You could just teach me how to do it myself!”

    “Kid,” Blade sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “the last time I made anything in a forge was before you were even born. These hands are no longer fit for crafting anything.”

    --

    In an attempt to impress Yunli, Yanqing begs Blade to teach him the art of forging weapons. Along the way, Yanqing gains a new mentor, and Blade gains a new perspective on his life.

    Summary

    “I’m afraid there isn’t anyone left who will pay a ransom for us now. Apologies.”

    “Why the fuck are you apologizing to them?” Mu Qing snaps. “Do you recall the part where we’re their unwilling captives?”

    “Politeness never hurts,” Xie Lian says.

    “I have a hard time believing no one would want you back, gege.” Hua Cheng’s words are spoken in almost a purr. Xie Lian sees He Xuan give Hua Cheng a subtle pinch on his upper arm—though, to the captain’s credit, he doesn’t even flinch.

    Summary

    The God of Spring meets the Lord of the Dead, and decides to take his future into his own hands.

    - - -

    It would almost be comical to watch Mu Qing advancing as Xie Lian tests how fast he can fucking chew, if the stakes weren’t a choice between Xie Lian moving between realms as he pleases and being trapped here for the rest of his immortal life.

    Mu Qing comes to a stop in front of the God of Spring, wrenching the pomegranate out of his hand at the same moment that Xie Lian smiles and opens his mouth.

    Shadows of black envelop Wei Ying, caressing the edges of his robes, mixing with his half-unbound hair. Thick smoke lingers in front of his face, and all he can make out are red eyes, a sharp smile, like a knife cutting through the dark fog.

    A sense of wrongness fills him, smothering the surge of hope and happiness and relief.

    “Wei Ying?” he tries again.

    Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.

    One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.

    He did yelp a little. But very manfully.

    “No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”

    Sure, he could ad-lib this. Wei Wuxian nodded. “The agreement. Yes, the agreement! Where I…don’t call you handsome?”

    The man stared again. “You do not need to call me ‘husband’, either."

    Wei Wuxian nodded seriously, though inwardly, he was kind of shocked. What kind of a marriage was this?

    [And then the most miraculous thing happened.

    “Lan Zhan,” Wei Wuxian said. “You’re smiling.”

    Because he was.

    For the first time in his life, Wei Wuxian saw Lan Wangji smile, gentle and joyful and so beautiful he felt like he couldn’t breath. Then, to his greater astonishment, Lan Wangji actually gave a quiet, wet laugh, as though he had just realized himself that he was smiling, and another tear slid down his cheek, and then another.

    “I’m happy,” Lan Wangji said.]

    “The first stroke, the commitment, is always the most difficult part,” he murmurs, eyes on his paper.

    Xie Lian takes it as an invitation and steps into the room. “What about deciding which stroke is the last?”

    “My art never quite compares to my subjects, so I don’t worry myself with perfection.” With that, he puts brush to paper and inks his first stroke.

    Xie Lian needs a room for the night in a new city and is humbly directed to the one ghost who can fulfill any wish if you're willing to play.

    Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
    "Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
    "Your Highness."
    "Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
    Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
    "It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.

    Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.

    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.
