    Summary

    ​It was all over the news: Lemurian Washed Up On Beach, No Longer Extinct?

    Footage from newscasters and phones flooded the internet. The breaking news was printed out and sold on every street corner, drawing the attention of people on their daily commute. Some thought it was an elaborate hoax; an animatronic or something, covered in silicone skin and scales.

    Sylus knows it's real. He recognized the creature from a year ago, from his strange night fishing escapade. He couldn't find a good angle of their face, but those scales are recognizable. He can still feel the force of that tail against his ribs some days, especially after a hard workout.

    He also knows the disgusting leech that rammed the van and stole it. The opportunist that called for a once-in-a-lifetime auction across every black market.

    Sylus has no intention of allowing anyone else to buy them.

    Summary

    “Well,” he said, voice low, unreadable, almost teasing. “This is a surprise.”

    You swallowed the knot in your throat and turned around, not because you wanted to face him—but because the weight of his presence demanded it.

    “Not really,” you tried to sound breezy. Light. Detached. “I was just dropping something off—”

    Click.

    The sound of the lock sliding into place was too deliberate. Too calm.

    Zayne shrugged off his lab coat. The stark white fabric fell in slow motion over the back of the chair, and then he rolled his shoulders—tight, tired, tense. You watched his fingers unbutton his cuffs, rolling up his sleeves slowly, with practiced ease.

    Curtains drawn. Room dimming. Silence folding over itself.

    “I sincerely hope,” he murmured as he walked toward you, past you, pulling each curtain shut until the room felt private, secretive—dangerous, “it’s not another envelope.”

    OR

    An arranged marriage built on silence unravels into a love loud enough to echo—where a repressed heart finally claims what was always his.

    Summary

    A while passes before Lan Qiren allows him to rise from his bow of repentance. The whorls in the wooden floor are his childhood friends, punishment upon punishment served in their company. They try their best to soothe the churning in his gut.

    “You have been bestowed an honour like no other. You are the chosen disciple.” Lan Qiren retrieves something from behind his desk and passes it to him. Heavy and cold, Lan Wangji grips the object with both hands, and then startles when he sees that he has been handed a sword. A disciple is not permitted to wield weapons, even the tools they work with must always remain blunt and dull. And yet here he is holding a sword, heavy with spiritual power.

    “The fate of the Cloud Recesses lies on your shoulders. Let the heavens down and eternal damnation shall await you.”

    ———

    The Cloud Recesses is a place of silence and virtue, of righteous victory and truth.

    But something ancient and indestructible lurks just beyond these four noiseless marble walls. A force so evil it cannot be named. And it threatens to destroy everything Lan Wangji knows, everything he believes to be right and true.

    ‘I always thought you were most beautiful like this, you know.’ A voice calls out for you, behind you. This voice doesn't strike fear in you, as you've heard it in your head for a long, long time.

    ’And how’s that?’

    ‘After a fray. Bloody. Armor shed. Stripped down, I suppose.’

    Summary

    But the slaughtered cultivators weren’t the only problem; the sabre had been carried all over the cultivation world by now, and brought devastation everywhere it went. Every crop failed to reach harvest within twenty miles of the weapon, drought followed it like a shadow, and there had been several cases of spontaneous madness in its vicinity, though it wasn’t yet clear whether they were linked or mere coincidence.

    ‘Zhanmadao…’ Feng Xin whispered aloud. He could picture the sabre so vividly in his mind despite not having seen it for over eight hundred years. He was certain it was the same weapon.

    Mu Qing died 800 years ago. Now, his beloved Zhanmadao shows up again out of nowhere, causing death and destruction to all who dare to touch it.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng lowers his hand, and both Feng Xin and Mu Qing crash to the floor. Feng Xin winds up with rugburn on his cheekbone and a dislocated shoulder, getting the better end of the deal than Mu Qing, whose nose is gushing blood between his fingers. Payback for earlier, at least—but his satisfaction is short-lived when Xie Lian hiccups a sob on the divan and then breaks into a string of rapid cries so panicked they sound painful. He slaps at the cushions of the divan, terror escalating, eyes wide open.

    “Help, help, help, help,” he gasps between cries. “Help me. Help me. Please. Please!

    When a tongueless spirit appears in the south and curses ghosts, gods, and mortals alike with catatonia, Hua Cheng, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin must work together to solve the mystery behind the curse and save Xie Lian from the horrors ravaging his mind.

    They may never find a cure, however, if the villagers plagued by the spirit don’t stop lying to them at every turn.

    Summary

    It started with Ling Wen, of all people.

    He had been on her palace researching about a specific type of ghost that he had been receiving prayers about, when he noticed her looking.

    Like, really looking.

    And then Pei Ming joined her. They exchanged some words, and then they were both just like. Staring at him.

    Feng Xin didn’t think he wanted to know what the fuck was going on there, so he grabbed the scrolls and walked out. Passing them, though, he thought he heard them saying something like—

    “Damn, where did you stop?”

    “One hundred and seventy eight.”

    “Shit, I only got to thirty two!”

    … what the fuck was going on?

    Summary

    Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”

    Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”

    “Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”

    “Like what?”

    Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”

    After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.

    Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.

    Feng Xin thinks he might die.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan finds himself returning the smile. “Go home,” he urges gently, because it’s cold, and Wei Ying does not look like he’s dressed warmly enough to be out in the streets like this.

    Wei Ying’s smile dims. “A-Ying sleeps here when it’s cold,” he tells Lan Zhan. “When it’s summer, A-Ying likes to stay by the pond!”

    Lan Zhan frowns, looking at the alley around them. His stomach churns at the thought of leaving Wei Ying there. “Has Wei Ying eaten?”

    (Or, the one where Wei Wuxian grows up in the Lan Sect.)

    DEATH BY FLUFF

    Summary

    When someone falls in love, their loved one's scars appear on them.

    Wei Wuxian isn't certain that anyone will ever think taking his scars would be worth it.

    The Lan Clan has an ugly history associated with lovescars, and Lan Wangji has only ever heard about them in the context of the family curse.

    There are no scars related to platonic love. For some, this makes romantic love look more painful by comparison; for others, it only makes it harder for them to express their love for their family.

    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji grew up with his uncle's teachings. He went through college, learning both the history of the human world and of the world unseen. He studied and he trained and he was dedicated and steadfast.

    He remembers the words, the teachings, remembers it all. Remembers even as he stares at Wei Wuxian, sitting on the ground, hands laying down a man’s corpse. Remembers everything, even as he stares at Wei Wuxian’s tongue, sees it lick a speck of blood off the corner of his mouth.
