one for sorrow, two for joy by Ariaste

Summary
The Emperors of Astandalas did not have daemons.
Cliopher knew this could not, technically, be true. Thinking this thought, even in the quietest whisper in his deepest heart of hearts, was undeniably treason, but…. facts were facts: The Emperors of Astandalas, though worshipped as gods on earth, were each of them born a human being before they were apotheosized by the crown and by law and custom. Every human being had a soul; therefore, every human being had a daemon.
So the Emperors of Astandalas must have had daemons.
But by tradition and ritual and magic and taboo: The Emperors of Astandalas did not have daemons.

Summary
Meng Yao has a plan. He has a strategy. He has no intention of letting emotion get in the way, because emotion means weakness, and the weak do not survive.
He is sixteen years, five months, and twenty days old when he enters the front doors of the high school, and he has not yet learned the rule that the gods laugh in the face of plans.
***
Scenes from a courtship, or: One gremlin, meeting the love of his life on the third day of school, five feet apart because Lan Qiren's sex ed sucks.

Summary
The single faceless, anonymous photograph on the profile that catches his eye is shot in elegant black-and-white, and there’s something about the crispness of the focus and the markedly off-center composition that says art, for once, rather than mugshot.
The caption below is equally sparse: “5’6. Demanding.”
(Or: Meng Yao gets wrecked by that Good Lan Dick. Lan Xichen gets wrecked by Meng Yao's Whole Deal.)

Summary
The melody gets a little clearer when he breaks out of the trees, and Jingyi changes course with certainty, barreling down the back hill and through the Cloud Recesses, dodging scandalized disciples left and right. He throws open the doors to the Receiving Hall without announcement and bows nearly double, eyes on the floor instead of on the shocked faces of the Mei delegation and the impenetrable gaze of the Chief Cultivator.
"Forgive this disciple," Jingyi shouts, because he's going to get punished for rule breaking regardless. "From the back hill, Hanguang-jun, there is a song in the wind!"
Lan Jingyi comes of age.

Here is a very small ficlet coda to The Simplest Way Forward, for Ariaste, who was having a tough day ❤️
The title is from Fall Out Boy because it got stuck in my head the second I started writing. Big thanks to mistresscurvy for doing a very fast read-through, she is the best. Now this note is almost as long as the fic. 😂
