    Summary

    Chu Wanning knows what he is and what he isn’t. And where he lacks in pleasantries and outward appeal, he makes up for in untouchable grace and dignity.

    It threatens to unravel once he meets a familiar face in an unfamiliar city.

    “So quick to run away from me, Chu-laoshi,” Mo Ran says, voice gently teasing as Chu Wanning refuses to make eye contact with him. “After you came all the way from…”

    He trails off, waiting for Chu Wanning to let him know, but he sees the map open on Chu Wanning’s phone and grins wider. “You want directions?”

    Chu Wanning clears his throat, and shakes his head. He should say something— instead, he stays silent as he looks down at his phone and punches in the hotel name again.

    Happily, his phone tells him to try again when he has signal.

    Summary

    Amidst the Dissonance of Melkor, there was but one voice that did not forget its own thoughts and did not become disturbed by the sudden change in melody brought about by Melkor. The mighty Vala’s discordant tune held a promise between the spacing of its notes as one holds breath in suspense, but that is never realized with the clamor of gongs in harsh marcato. It was of a melody unrealized in its infancy, a rough outline of a symphony: a messy scribble on sheet music. But of its fundamental trill this single voice plucked from the void in the Timeless Halls, and in its genius, saw not the cacophony of one stave, but the endless flow of one after the other- it saw the not the movement on its own, but the entire piece.
    ***
    In the Beginning, Melkor searches for the Maia who sung His Discord with Him.

    Summary

    She refuses to believe it. She screws her eyes shut even as the part of her that has felt dead and numb begins to tingle painfully back to life.

    “No,” she says. “You’re not here.”

    “You’re right. Do you want me to go?”

    His voice is soft but there. She rolls over. He’s standing beside her bed, except not really. The person is gone but his essence, shimmering and pale, is looking down on her so tenderly that new tears spring to her eyes.
