Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Summary
The day you get the most important email of your life, there’s a new black skidmark on the wall of the stairwell, and you know exactly whose fault it is.
“Margaret,” you intone to the harried, wild-haired woman in the lobby.
She sighs at you as she tries to jimmy her mail key loose. “I know.”
It wouldn’t even be that bad if the kid would just skateboard outside. Or get good at skateboarding. Either of those things. Maggie’s a nice lady, though, and she’s had “trying my best” scribbled all over her since they moved into 6B maybe eight years ago. So you try not to be a dick, even if her son is a gold-standard pain in the ass. He’s good for three things: smells, noise, and reminding you how big Eddie must be by now.- Language:

Summary
"I'm just saying. You haven't shut up about wanting to fuck a stranger since you left Myra,” Bev says. “He's a stranger who is down to fuck. What are you twiddling your thumbs for?"
Eddie sighs. He chews on a bit of soggy bell pepper and considers it. Finally he says, "I just worry it'll be bad."
Bev laughs. "Sex with strangers often is."
"Oh, great! That's just what I wanted to hear!"
"C'mon, Eddie," she says. "What's the worst that could happen?"
OR:
Eddie and Richie try to have a one-night stand and get snowed in together.

Summary
Between the two of them, Richie and Eddie have never had: an ounce of chill, good timing, or a single productive therapy session. So why start now?
__Post-movie domesticity, alone in the woods.
Because the thing about stories is, we accept the endings we think we deserve. Or they deserve. Or something.

Summary
A man went down to the crossroads looking for forgiveness, God, and the blues—not in that particular order—and found the Devil instead. So the Devil tuned his guitar and made him the best bluesman in the world, and all it cost was his soul, which was taking up too much room inside him anyway.
(Other times, the man at the crossroads isn't looking for God at all.)

Summary
"Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."
Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."
--
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway.

Summary
“You’ve got a fever,” Wei Wuxian says soothingly. “You just keep still as well as you can. We’ll have you fixed up soon.”
Lan Sizhui recognizes his tone—this is the voice that Wei Wuxian uses on hurt people and young children, a very calm and no-nonsense voice that has none of the mischief and cheer of the way he sounds the rest of the time. Lan Sizhui looks up and meets his eyes, and they are dark, stormy gray, muddled and concerned.
“I’m all right,” he croaks.
“Hush,” Wei Wuxian says, in a low croon, like someone quieting a baby. Then he blinks, and looks away, awkward. “I mean—you shouldn’t speak. You’re tired. Rest if you need to.”
—
lan sizhui gets sick on a night hunt. wei wuxian comforts him. they both have a lot of feelings about it.

Summary
“So she may be a hideous fratricidal tyrant,” Wei Wuxian concluded, “but… possibly a good sect leader?”
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman who has just overthrown her megalomaniac brother and taken control of his sect, must be in want of a husband.
Jiang Cheng, fifth on the list of the Cultivation World’s Most Eligible Bachelors, did not expect that husband to be him.

Summary
It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.
“Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”
“It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.
