    Summary


    “So he’s holding a grudge a little longer than usual,” Louis says. “He’ll be there on the first day.” Charming all the new corps, he thinks bitterly; deciding whose legs he will have wrapped around his waist by the end of the week’s practice, if not before.

    “Not this time,” Armand says, and Louis suddenly recognises the look on his face. It’s the subdued panic of a man who is attempting to stem the flow of water through a cracked vessel with only his hands, incapable of patching it before every last drop escapes through his fingers. The same look, in fact, that he had given Louis when he’d thrown a duffel bag at Armand’s feet and told him he had fifteen minutes to grab his shit and get out. “Lestat doesn’t intend to quit the company. He intends to quit ballet.”

    In the grey stupor of London, Louis is preparing the Du Lac Gallery's forthcoming exhibition and worrying about Claudia. He doesn't plan to add wrangling Lestat, principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and his ex-husband, into the mix – until Armand comes knocking, and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

    Summary

    He was marched to the bed and thrown upon it perfunctorily. Louis took an armchair opposite the foot of the bed.

    “If you were really Lestat, you would have said something stupid about me tossing you into bed,” Louis accused.

    “I did not wish to aggravate you, cher.”

    “Funny. You like to aggravate. You live to aggravate.”

    Lestat looked down at his hands. Broad palms, strong body, but he could feel the weaknesses in it. His joints – breaking points designed to fold a body down into component parts. Soft, easily crushed flesh, blood pooling as easily as squeezing a wet sponge. A heart that was responsible for more than just beating in time with Louis’.

    -
    Louis and Lestat have begun the painstaking process of relearning one another, before Lestat complicates matters with a back-alley body swap.

    Summary

    “Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”
