    Summary


    “It’s a measure of one’s self, Mr Zhongli.” Childe says. “Maybe you don’t understand it since you work as a consultant, but as an ambassador from the Tsaritsa, as one who fights in her name— this is how I learn to know the measure of myself.”

    “I understand,” Zhongli says thoughtfully. “It is a warrior’s way, to test one’s strength against the incomparable. To find where one falls short. To find where one has risen to the challenge.”


    In which Childe has insomnia, vandalizes public property and runs into a mysterious funeral consultant on his first night in Liyue.

    Summary

    After the wars are over and Spring has returned, Westeros is at peace but much has been lost. When Shireen asks Arya to petition the crown and become the new Lady Paramount of Storm's End, it means giving up Winterfell. But the North holds painful memories, and nothing seems the same. The Stormlands may just hold the key for lasting peace in the realm... and in Arya's heart.

    Summary

    “And what’s the price for a Decepticon leader’s help these days?" Optimus said. "Head of his captor on a pike?”

    The Councillors started falling over each other hurriedly protesting, no, no, of course not, how could Optimus think, never—and Megatron laughed over them all and said, “It’s not your head I want to mount. I have demanded you as my consort.”

    “Okay, well, that’s—unexpected,” Optimus said, blankly.

    Summary

    Who dared to dream as a man of the Akademiya? That riddle’s very existence bothered him like a stray thread unraveled from the ends of a shirtsleeve, or a stray seed that had found its way into his fruit’s flesh, or an itch on his back that he could not quite reach properly. Kaveh was like a rune left untranslated, its meaning beyond the capability of his mother tongue, a multitude of opposing meanings concisely tucked into one compact symbol. That untranslated rune was a challenge in itself, to make into solid words meaning and sense, to turn paradox into logic. Even after all these years, he had yet to solve it.

    Kaveh is commissioned to build the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Al-Haitham puzzles over its existence, among other things.
