Summary
“Come on,” Shi Qingxuan wheedles, fan falling away from her face, “you didn’t tell me you knew things like this! Does this fall under Earth Master jurisdiction, or something?”
“Of course it doesn’t,” He Xuan scoffs. “Why would it?”
“Then it has to be from your mortal life!” she crows triumphantly. She leans all the way in, their faces just inches from each other. He Xuan’s dead heart is suddenly in his throat. “Tell me, Ming-xiong! Were you involved with plays and theater when you were a mortal? Is that why you can tell all of that is evidently not up to standard?”
“It’s sloppy is what it is,” He Xuan says, and immediately regrets it. Shi Qingxuan’s grin is not dissimilar to the one his fiancée had worn when she discovered He Xuan had a deft hand with makeup, both functional and theatrical.
or: after the Mid-Autumn festival, He Xuan lets slip a thing or two about his mortal life in Fu Gu, where he wasn’t just a scholar. Shi Qingxuan is (in)appropriately delighted by this.

Summary
The hoard of gold is cursed. Bilbo looks at Thorin and suspects the Arkenstone is, too.
This beautiful, thrice-blasted stone weighs heavily in his hands and he would like nothing better than to give it to another’s. Whose hands, he thinks bitterly, could hold the Arkenstone without breaking under its thrall? No mortal being, and that is certainly the truth.

Summary
"Licking his dry lips, Bilbo gathered up his quailing courage and stretched a hand out to the air directly above the mushrooms. It stopped precisely at the boundary, and he let out a resigned breath. This is a bad day to be a Hobbit, he moaned to himself, before sucking in a breath and nodding to himself,
But better Hobbit than Dwarf, today."

Summary
He remembers. He remembers waking up this fateful morning, the way the sun had slanted through the window and struck the cut glass mirror, throwing scattered glory across the stone ceiling in fractals of rainbow color. He remembers thinking what a good omen it must be, to have gemstones transposed above his bed, for his eyes alone.
Today, Thorin stares at the light dancing above him and is paralyzed by mounting horror. He knows that he is not in the halls of his ancestors because he feels no sense of peace.

Summary
The first time Jason sees Xichen Lan, he stumbles out of the teahouse without having succumbed to the urge to break his bones and spill his blood and show the world that depression and suicidality aren’t beautiful or elegant or nice.
Or:
Asking Jason Shitshow Todd to keep an eye on your quietly tragic alien was only ever going to result in pain. This time, hopefully, it will be the good kind.
