    Summary

    “Am I dead?” Jingliu gasps.

    “No.” Ruan Mei pries Jingliu’s mouth open, holding the tongue down with her thumb. “You are so delightfully alive. And now I have the pleasure of putting you back together.”

    (Or: Jingliu becomes Ruan Mei’s test subject.)

    Summary

    She’s witnessed wars before, wars with the Denizens of Abundance, even with the Antimatter Legion as well. Never has she felt a backlash so harsh—the weight of the throne is truly too much for her to bear, is it?

    Overconfidence. Arrogance. People say these things are bound to bite you in the heel eventually, but Fu Xuan has always dismissed their chatter—you can’t deem her over-anything if she’s extraordinarily intelligent and capable in nature. Never would she have thought that it would be her own heart dragging her down by the ankle, to feel the coarse ice on the ground.

     

    (fu xuan breaks down after the luofu's latest crisis; all her intellect, her power, proves to be naught.)

    Summary

    To Himeko.

    Breath hitching, Himeko traces over the letters with her finger. It trails lightly over the uppercase 'H,' pausing briefly over the arches of the 'm,' and then digs its way over to the looping 'o.'

    That is her name. Someone left this here for her. Someone left a container with her name on it, on a planet that's dying under the weight of its own blizzards; a planet that Himeko has never seen before in her life.

    or, Himeko, Kafka, and the letters they leave for each other across galaxies.

    Summary

    "This is so stupid. I am so stupid."

    She can't meet Natasha's eyes, and she can't explain it very well either; only that she feels like if she meets Natasha's knowing gaze, she'll find herself succumbing to a kindness that she absolutely does not deserve. And if Serval manages to get a glimpse of that—well, maybe all that progress she's put into moving on will truly disappear into a gust of snowy winter air.

    or, Serval wonders if there's some sort of miracle medicine in the Underworld. (there actually is, her name is Natasha.)

    Summary

    His mother had had six months after his father had died. But it was expected; they had prepared and were already rather distanced. Draco hadn’t been ready, and Merlin, he had been so in love. He knew he was counting down in weeks, not months.
