    Summary

    They call it “The Rally.” One last moment of clarity before the end.

    Jayce knows it’s begun when he stumbles into the kitchen and finds Viktor already there, upright and alert, pouring milk into his mug.

    Viktor, for the first time in weeks, is using his rollator. Not just leaning on it, but moving confidently. It's a rare enough sight that Jayce stops short in the doorway and rubs his eyes to make sure he isn’t imagining this.

    Or

    In the days leading up to Viktor’s death, Jayce does what he can with the time they’re given.

    Summary

    One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn.

    Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb.

    It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it.

    He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.”

    Summary

    Easier said than done when it’s an emotionally constipated war god and crybaby demon lord that is having to get along.

    Summary

    There was a pause as the Peak Lords drank their tea, and then Shizun sighed. "I'm just worried, is all. Liu Qingge said Binghe looked scared, and no one's seen him all day. I don't understand--I thought he wanted this! I thought this would be easy."

    "You thought inviting a third into your marriage would be easy?" said Shang Qinghua.

    "I thought it would be like with dogs!"

    "Cucumber bro, respectfully, what."

    "You know, when you have just one it's a lot of work, but adding a second one isn't all that much more to do--you just put out a second food bowl and you're good to go. I thought it would be like that, but with husbands."

    "I don't think that's how relationships work," Shang Qinghua said skeptically, and for once, Luo Binghe was on his side.

    In which Luo Binghe unknowingly engages in demonic flirtation with Liu Qingge via punches, and everyone knows about it and is cool with it.

    Luo Binghe just wishes someone had told him.

    Summary

    “Junshang, the human that has been courting you for the past seven years with the duels? And by bringing Consort Shen his conquests? He is the one that brought the deer to you, correct?”
    Luo Binghe nods, still in a daze. “Yes, that’s Liu Shishu.”
    “Mn,” Mobei-jun nods. “Will you be accepting his courting soon? Qinghua says there are many demons who wish to court him if you two do not accept.”
    What the fuck? What the fuck? Like hell he’s going to let some trash court Liu Qingge.
    Wait.
    Oh.

    Summary

    After the death of Jason Todd, Dick made the decision to return to Gotham to ensure no future Robin ever suffered the same fate as his Little Wing, personally overseeing the training of every Robin to come. Ten years later, Batman leaves Gotham without warning to investigate an unknown that has Bruce staring at Jason’s long-abandoned bedroom door. He puts Nightwing in charge of the others and tasks Dick with keeping an eye on a new "vigilante" who can't seem to decide whose side he's on— a mysterious Red Hood, who also doesn’t have any qualms against working alongside Gotham’s most wanted.

    Summary

    He hears a faint voice, muttering, seemingly across a large room or behind a door. It feels like the voice is drawing him forward, beckoning him.

    He resists. The voice wants something from him, but his newly grown bones feel weary, like heavy lead is pooling in his limbs. He can’t recall why, but his whole being feels exhausted. He wouldn’t be surprised to learn he’s been carrying a heavy load through thick mud.

    “Xiao Xingchen,” the voice calls. “Xiao Xingchen, wake.”

    Sometimes a man is dumb enough to choose stalking over normal conversation.

    Summary

    Hob knows he is dreaming. He's had similar dreams a few times before.

    In these dreams he is a knight, a seasoned warrior clad in well-worn leathers and finely crafted armor, weariness and exhaustion weighing him down heavier than the plate on his shoulders and back. Sometimes he’s returning from a battle, covered in dirt, blood and sweat – but never wounded, just tired. Sometimes he’s returning from faraway lands, with head full of stories and images of breathtaking places that have no ability to exist in the waking world.

    Sometimes he’s just– returning.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge get along for Shen Qingqiu’s sake. That’s been true for a while, long enough that no one bothers to challenge the notion. But it hasn’t exactly been true lately and Luo Binghe takes advantage of Shen Qingqiu’s absence to prove to Liu Qingge that he’s sincere about him.

    Meanwhile Liu Qingge is counting down the days until Shen Qingqiu returns from his night hunt, pouting around Bai Zhan like he’s been abandoned.

    Luo Binghe is right here to dote on you, Liu-shishu! Please pay attention to this disciple!

    Summary

    “I won’t get into any fae business and ask for your true name, but is there something I can call you? Seeing as we’re friends and all.”
    “You’ve managed six hundred years without that.” Another little upturn of the corner of the mouth and a softness of those beautiful eyes told Hob that he had not gone too far.
    “Well,” Hob smiled, “after our second meeting, I started calling you ‘the Century Gentleman.’ At least in my own mind.”

    The conversation continues after Dream joins Hob at the New Inn.

    Summary

    Meeting Dream had gone from once a century occurrence to every six months, to just every month, then to around once a week, a change of pace Hob would be eternally grateful for, if only people stopped bloody interrupting them.

    (Five times someone in Hob's life interrupts him and Dream's meetings (dates) and one time it's someone Dream knows.)

    Summary

    The life and times of one Robert Gadling.
    --

    Excerpt:

    Hob ought to take the hint; he knows he should. A crystal-clear rejection of his friendship. Message received. But Hob Gadling didn’t survive plague and war, weather years of hardships and heartbreak and Thatcher-era Britain, without a profound sense of stubbornness about him.

    Unyielding hope, however foolish it seemed sometimes, got him here. It’s why he’s still alive.

    Summary

    “You’d do anything to save him, wouldn’t you.”

    Shen Qingqiu forces his eyes to meet Luo Binghe’s. “Anything.”

    “I already have your life,” Luo Binghe says idly. “You don’t have much more to give, do you?”

    Shen Qingqiu blinks placidly. “I’m sure you can think of something.”

    Luo Binghe smiles slowly, looking almost vulpine. “Of course, I can. In fact, I know what I want from you, Shen Qingqiu.”

    He doesn’t want to imagine what depravity lurks in Luo Binghe’s mind. He inclines his head, skin itching at the contact with Luo Binghe, and waits.

    When Shen Qingqiu's life is in his hands, Luo Binghe asks for something Shen Qingqiu thought he'd given away long ago-- his loyalty.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ah yes, my favorite type of bingjiu dynamic. unable to tell the difference between obsession, love, and power. and not caring about figuring it out ❤

    ___

    "To share power over each other isn’t love. Even Shen Qingqiu, as empty-hearted as he is, knows that.

    But when he blinks up at Luo Binghe, and sees the demon lord of the realms gently stroking Shen Qingqiu’s hair, gazing at him with dark eyes—

    Shen Qingqiu tastes blood on his tongue. He’s coming to know this taste as power. As desire."
