    Summary

    It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —

    Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.

    Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —

    And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.

    Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.

    Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

    Summary

    The anglerfish does not know how to love— for the entirety of its life, this lonely fish swims in search of something it cannot touch, cannot even conceive. Yet it desires. Its heart beats for it. It shakes in anticipation of it, its blood rushes for it. So it casts its light ahead, and swims.

     

    And one day, when the search ends, it will devour it.

    ***

    Shen Yuan saw it talking to the cashier.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe stared back at him. There was something distant in his eyes, something Shen Qingqiu was too tired, too drained, to decipher. Then, Luo Binghe’s lips opened in a non-apology, a soft, murmured sentence—a quiet, “I need to know the truth.”

    Shen Qingqiu frowned. He opened his mouth to question the damn-near imploring words, but he never got the chance.

    He failed to notice something was in Luo Binghe’s hands until it was too late.

    Or

    Luo Binghe is determined to get answers this time, now that Shen Qingqiu can't run away. Even if he has to use a truth serum to do it.
