    Summary

    "Nothing to worry about." A calm and collected smile formed on the older woman's lips. "Actually, I wanted to ask if you're interested in modeling."

    "Huh?" was his only intelligent reply.

    This is not what Phainon had in mind for how he would spend his regular Saturday morning.

    Summary

    Her pace does not falter, her feet do not make so much as a single missstep. Her crystalline partner does the same, mirroring her movements with such a grace the one it was created in the image of had never managed to capture, always stumbling over his own feet.

     

    Behind the curtain where no one can see, Cyrene dances.

    Summary

    It’s been almost four months since Aedes Elysiae has seen the rain. No one can explain why this drought could happen other than the words of the village elders who said, "The gods want an offering.”

    “You know, Kevin. I’ve always wondered…” Kevin looks at her expectantly, “When you cry, do your tears freeze?”

    Summary

    “Close your eyes, then,” suggests the general. He’s not sure anymore if he’s saying that as solace for her, or to hide his own shame. “Close your eyes, if it should make it easier. Pretend the one before you isn’t Jing Yuan, the general you loathe so. Pretend I’m some fortunate stranger, some handsome lad you saw in passing—or even, the apparition in your head, conjured solely for your nights of solitude, the entity no one’s had the honor, the pleasure, of displacing.” It’s terribly selfish and vile, for him to demand such things when the diviner’s swallowed so much of her pride for the sake of realizing her dreams, but—but she’s not the only one with foolish, indulgent dreams.

    No, no she isn’t. And perhaps if Jing Yuan squeezes his eyes shut strong enough, he’ll be able to pretend any of this is real, even if only for a sliver of their enormous lifespans. Even if, in the end, these are mere delusions—and they will remain so, for him, even if he inevitably ends up indulging her in her most fervent desire.

    (It’s so much easier to express desire when it takes on a different guise, they find.)
