Summary
Shen Qingqiu brings a new disciple to Qing Jing Peak outside of the scheduled selection, a ten year old girl with sharp green eyes and an even sharper tongue, and moves her into the side room of the bamboo cottage without delay. Obviously, his intentions with the poor child can’t be anything but harmful and untoward.
…Right?

Summary
“I’m sorry, we don’t have any Kaeya Ragnvindr’s here!” Barbara screeched shrilly, spreading her arms even wider. Kaeya jolted at the sound of that familiar surname attached to his name, for it hadn’t been for many years. After Diluc left, Kaeya returned to his former surname, Alberich.
“I can see him!” Diluc practically snarled, his lips drawn back and his red hair a mess tied back in a low bun.

Summary
If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.
No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.

Summary
Kurapika breathes in sharply. A familiar briefcase, with an equally familiar jacket draped over its side, sits at the kid’s feet.
“Where did you get that?” He tries to keep his voice even, measured.
“This?” the boy says. If he senses the danger, he makes no show of it. “This is mine.”
Kurapika stares. He looks at the jacket, the briefcase. Looks back at the kid, at those familiar brown eyes.
Then it clicks.
“Leorio?” he says.
Leorio is affected by a de-ageing Nen ability. Kurapika has to help him.
Or: Kurapika learns why Leorio is the way he is, how to cook a decent meal for a twelve-year old, and maybe—just maybe—how to hold enough love for the both of them.
