    Summary

    “What happened? What did this to you?”

    Feng Xin isn’t listening. None of the voices are the one he wants to hear, that annoying and thinly mocking tone whenever something doesn’t go to plan. He tries again. “Mu Qing…”

    ... The light hurts, and his eyes flutter closed. One more time, in case they didn’t hear. “Mu Qing.”

    -

    Feng Xin is injured. The other gods think Mu Qing did it.

    Summary

    It isn't that strange that Apollo's soulmark would be in English; after all, he plans to go back some day. Except by the time he grows up, he is hearing the important word almost every day.

    It isn't until Klavier is nine that he realizes his soulmark is in Khura'inese. This is a bit troublesome, especially when he finds himself falling for Apollo Justice, who probably can't speak a word of the language.

    And yet somehow, things tend to work out in the end.

    Summary

    In eight hundred years, Mu Qing has never felt that he has been missing anything by refusing to drink alcohol. 

    It’s not for lack of offering; the bottles occasionally appear in his temples, even if his worshippers should know better than to give him earthly temptations, and other gods have warily invited him to drink on special occasions. He accepts the shared cup during the Battle of the Lanterns, an exception to his otherwise tightly controlled cultivation, but a sip is only a sip… 

    Drinking expressly with the purpose to be drunk is another matter, and one that he avoids. 

    usually, that is.

    Xie Lian and Feng Xin drink together. Mu Qing practices so he can join in next time.

    Summary

    It’s this routine again—Feng Xin has been at his side long enough to recognize it by now. Mu Qing gets himself into trouble and then seals up like an oyster, and somehow has the audacity to act like everyone else is at fault for inconveniencing him.

    “Did you get cursed by the temple demon?” Feng Xin’s hand crumples the paper from the sesame cake.

    Mu Qing nods again.

    -

    In which Mu Qing is afflicted with a silencing curse (probably).

    Summary

    He’s seen this ribbon almost every day for the past 800 years. He can’t just… let it collect dust in Feng Xin’s chamber, only because Feng Xin is too lazy to fix it himself. If he won’t, then Mu Qing will.

    Because that’s just a normal thing that rivals do. They mend each other’s robes and fix each other’s ribbons. Obviously. It’s nothing out of the ordinary, and Mu Qing is not being delusional. And he most definitely does not miss seeing the golden ribbon in Feng Xin’s hair.

    Mu Qing realizes Feng Xin's ribbon has been ripped, and it bothers him more than it should. Eventually, he decides to fix it himself.

    Summary

    The thing about pretending to be someone else, Mu Qing realizes, is that it’s impossible to still not be you.

    Take Nan Feng as an example; if the terrible name wasn’t enough to make it obvious that he was Feng Xin, the way he couldn’t go five seconds without swearing or getting into a fight with Mu Qing should give it away.

    Or rather, couldn’t go five seconds without looking at Mu Qing.

    Summary

    Feng Xin recites Mu Qing’s password, expecting the array to open and allow Feng Xin to talk to him.

    It doesn’t open.

    Feng Xin tries again.

    It still doesn’t open.

    Feng Xin recites the stupid Ju Yang poem 88 times, but the communication array does not budge.

    Then he realizes: Mu Qing changed his fucking password.

    -

    Mu Qing changes his spiritual communication array password. It has unforeseen consequences.

    Summary

    “I wish I was dating him, just so I could dump his ass.”

    Xie Lian’s eyebrows nearly shoot off his face. “You wish you were dating him?”

    “So I could dump him.” Feng Xin doesn’t see what Xie Lian isn’t getting here.

    Mu Qing has an exceptionally bad day. Feng Xin cares way more than he expected to.

    Summary

    Kravitz hadn't intended on sort of informally adopting Angus, but that was what happened. He certainly wasn't complaining though, and he was glad to have him in his life now. When he started dating Taako it seemed to be only natural to want to introduce the two most important people in his life.

    Taako certainly hadn't meant to start watching after Angus at all. The kid just sort of wormed his way into his life, and it wasn't like Taako didn't know what it was like to be a kid on your own. So sure, he'd watch after the kid every so often, teach him magic and feed him and what not. And If Kravitz wanted to have their kids meet or whatever, he would bring Angus along.

    Summary

    “Congratulations. I think that might be the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.” Mu Qing sounds… pissed off, yeah, but not as pissed off as Feng Xin thought he would be. Mostly, he sounds wary. “You want to—to kiss me again?”

    Yes. More than anything.

    Out loud, Feng Xin says, “I just don’t want you holding a bad kiss over my head for the rest of eternity. Are you gonna let me make this up to you or are you gonna be a little bitch about it?”

    --

    Feng Xin accidentally steals Mu Qing’s first kiss. Naturally, the only logical solution is to give him another one. And another. And another. And another. And—

    Summary

    "We did it, sir," Angus whispers as he reaches the couch. He still can't quite get his brain to move past that. Fully processing the day's events is going to take time and probably several cork boards worth of notes connected by red yarn.

    Taako's mouth twitches upward in a tired smile. "We sure did, mijo." Fuzzily, Angus wonders what the word means, but he's too tired to devote much thought to it. Besides, it's barely a flicker in comparison to all the other new information he's received today.

    --

    5 times Angus wonders about Taako's new nickname for him + 1 time he finds out what it means.

    Summary

    As the moon rises above the treeline, Taako smells the distinctive scent of big magic—ozone, hanging thick in the air. The bird unfurls its wings, growing larger and shifting before Taako’s eyes until it's no longer a bird at all, but the most handsome man Taako’s ever seen.

    He’s dark-skinned, with long dreadlocks that tumble down over his shoulders, dressed in a fine suit that’s years out of date, but perfectly preserved. His cheekbones are high and his gaze is sharp. He studies Taako and Magnus from the other side of the thorn bush, and tilts his head, considering them. “You’re a long way from home,” the man says. “Didn't anyone warn you about the dangers lurking in the Felicity Wilds after the sun goes down?”

    Summary

    Lup had decided that this had gone on for long enough. She needed some fresh eyes, some advice from someone who hadn't been around for the last ten years of falling in love and pining and suffering. She needed some professional help.

    But that sounded like a lot of work, so barring that she figured she could at least ask the internet.

    Summary

    “I am His Royal Highness, Prince Kravitz of Neverwinter,” Kravitz says, focusing on Taako, sprawled out on the floor. “I was cursed to prick my finger on my twenty-fifth birthday and fall into a deep sleep that could only be broken by true love’s kiss. A sleep you woke me from.”

    Taako, who apparently has no idea who Kravitz is and was definitely in the middle of robbing the palace when he stopped and decided to kiss an unconscious body, freezes in place, eyes wide with surprise.

    “Holy shit,” says the human man standing behind him. “This is totally worth twenty gold.”

    Kravitz wakes up five hundred years in the future. Taako grapples with the consequences of waking a sleeping a prince. True love involves more breaking and entering than one might think.

    Summary

    The royal palace is a tourist attraction. Wrapped in mystery and impenetrable briars, shielded with thick layers of magic and preservation spells, breaking the curse is the greatest arcane challenge in all of Faerun. Tours draw in visitors year round.

    Taako has been obsessed with the palace since his aunt dragged him and Lup there as kids and told them about how five hundred years earlier, a warlock had cursed the royal family and ended their rule. Not because he’s into history or whatever, but because he’s thinking ten steps ahead—he’s thinking about resale value.

    Summary

    “We came here to break your curse but it’s not really working, is it? Fuck.” Feng Xin lets out a small laugh. He's still staring at the ceiling of the cave, squeezing Mu Qing's fingers. “Well, maybe – wait.”

    Feng Xin flushes as their eyes lock. “I may have to kiss you.”

    "The solution’s not that simple,” Mu Qing hisses. “I’m not even cursed anymore!”

    Feng Xin shakes his head. "That’s just the curse lying. I’ll help you.”
