    Summary

    There is a Waterborne Abyss in Biling Lake that everyone in Gusu Lan denies exists.

    The clear, resonant tones of a qin fill the air, but Wei Ying cannot find the source of the sound. It is everywhere in and around them. It vibrates through their bodies and plucks at their heartstrings. In the chill of a cave, shoulder to shoulder with his beloved, Wei Ying listens to a song that never ends.

    Summary

    Wei Ying ventures into the forbidden with a reticent guide.

    “Do not worry,” Lan Wangji says.

    There is a deepness to Lan Wangji’s voice that reverberates through Wei Ying, back pressed to a rumbling chest. His legs tremble, and he closes his eyes for a moment. Water beads on his eyelashes. “I’m not,” he breathes out.

    Abruptly, Wei Ying remembers what happened to all the townspeople who entered the forest.

    Summary

    Wangxian in love in modernity.

    Their love story is cinematic—painted in broad strokes within the conventions of the romance (horror) genre. Childhood friends, Wei Ying will crow to his rapt audience (Lan Zhan will think quietly to himself). Neighbors that grew up together and attended all of the same schools until Wei Ying got kicked out of Cloud Recesses Prep. And then, the sad (unbearable) distance of a few years spent apart as they grew into themselves away from (towards) each other and their families. A coincidental (engineered) reunion at a café (Wei Ying’s favorite), their hands curled around steaming mugs of tea and the detritus of too many sweets on their table.

    Summary

    Uncle is not an entirely lonely man, but there is certainly an emptiness by his side that needs filling. He needs more than a friend after all these years, and well, Uncle is rather stubborn about change. He has never liked change, too content with the structure of the Cloud Recesses to fathom living outside of it. The rules keep him company in place of a human companion. This, of course, raises the question of who is fit for his uncle.

    What would Lan Huan do in the name of love for his family?

    Summary

    Like a set of binary stars, they revolve together around the world of the exorcists. When they get too close, they distort each other in ways that Shinju does not know how to process. The anger comes easily even if her eyes can never quite leave Seiju’s form.

    Seiju still comes close.

    She does not care.

    Or she cares in a way that Shinju does not understand.

    In which Matoba Seiju and Natori Shinju grow up together as women in the world of exorcists.

    Summary

    The problem with Lan Zhan is that he loves too much. He never stops loving. It is not romantic. It is obsessive. So, it is no surprise that when he cuts through the tides of time, he comes back wrong. His past mind and his future mind cannot reconcile the love they experienced, experience, and will experience.

    Summary

    Yue Qingyuan wonders when his lotus will learn to look past the mud.

    [Sunny days and the garden in full bloom—plants twisting and twining around each other. Plants know greed. They want to live and to thrive. How eagerly they absorb the nutrients in the soil, and how they yearn for sunlight. Flowerheads tilted upwards at each and every angle, all for the sun. And so it is the first rays of dawn that awaken Yue Qingyuan. 

    His lungs wake him up.]

    [The light that blinds—how they revere Hanguang-jun. Man in white holding a shining sword, he slices through armies with mechanical precision and efficiency. With every life he takes, he offers up a prayer to his god—to his beloved lord of death. His sacrilegious prayers speak to a god he calls “Wei Ying”.]

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge fall into intimate situations. Shen Qingqiu soon comes to realize that there is more than happenstance behind their encounters.

    Or:
    [Maybe...Liu Qingge just wants to chill with a bro. Some platonic, non-violent touch—affection, unconditional and unremarked upon.

    Shen Qingqiu is Liu Qingge’s bro now, the small (extremely large) fanboy part of him notes.

    Shen Qingqiu is not Liu Qingge’s bro.]

    Summary

    It is forbidden amongst cultivators to bargain with the gods. The consequences of such a bargain are not to be borne lightly and yet...desperation breaks boundaries.

    [“It seems like you had the same idea as me, Lightbearer,” a voice rings merrily in the air. The cadence of his voice mimics the rowdiest of songs.

    “How worrisome, Lightbringer,” a voice intones. The cadence of his voice mimics a funeral dirge.]

    Summary

    [As the wind howls through skeletal trees, so do the wolves in the forests of Konoha. Their howls are too resonant and resounding to fool a man into thinking that these wolves are normal and mortal. Everything is wrong.

    Kakashi is born with teeth—a million needle sharp protrusions of bone. His father is ecstatic at the resurgence of their yōkai blood. His mother does not live long enough to condone or condemn his existence. She is sucked dry of all chakra by the time childbirth occurs. Sakumo ignores the correlation and any possible causation. He cannot bear to think otherwise. It would ruin him. But Kakashi knows.]

    Or, wherein, Kakashi's existence is not a revelation in itself but an acknowledgement of monstrosity.

    Summary

    A buzzing in the air, a wail, and then Natsume Takashi’s world changes. A story of change told in two parts—architecture and infrastructure, all of which lead to destruction of all that Takashi has known.

    And yet…

    “Even if there's nothing here today, there might be something tomorrow.”

    [“Don’t look, Natsume-kun,” Matoba says with a foreign gentleness. “Don’t look.” All the stress on his face smooths out and his mouth curves into a lovely smile. His lone eye even crinkles. He looks more alive than he did before when picking up Takashi.

    “Our little countryside towns were never meant for mass body disposal. Especially with a pandemic like this.”]

    [Lan Zhan reaches out with an arm, as if to bridge the distance between him and Wei Ying. A futile endeavor but Lan Zhan rarely gives up in pursuit of his desires. He is selfish that way, for all that the rules of Gusu would have him otherwise. The rules engender his deceit of character.]

    Summary

    When Takashi dies, he dies young, like his grandmother and his parents. He is eighteen years old and newly graduated from high school. He takes a year off before going to college. He loves his home far too much to abandon it so easily.

    When Takashi dies, he comes home.

    The yōkai no longer speak about Natsume Reiko.

    Or, wherein, death is not the end for Natsume Takashi, though it is the end for his family and friends.
