    Summary

    At some point in everyone's life, the first words their soulmate will ever say to them will appear in deep black writing on their skin.

    The words fade to light grey when a soulmate dies.

    Sometimes new words replace them, whether they're wanted or not.

    (These were the words Steve was born with, running in a messy, uneven line across his skinny little chest, beneath both his collarbones: You okay, pal? Those jerks didn't hurt ya too bad, did they?

    Steve woke up from the ice in 2011 with the words, Who the hell is Bucky? circling his heart, in printing so precise it barely looked human.

    Steve hated them.)

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.

    Summary

    “Don’t go swoonin’ in my arms, Kenway,” he hears Mary say from somewhere far away.

    Edward smirks weakly, fingernails digging into James’—no, Mary’s arms as he sways on his feet. “Can’t help it,” he slurs. “You’re just so bloody gorgeous. As a woman and as a man.”

    But Mary only frowns. “You’re delirious, Edward.”

    “I am perfectly clear of mind!” And with that, Edward’s eyelids flutter shut and he pitches forward in Mary’s arms.

    Summary

    "There's more writing on the bottom of the bowl," Shadowheart said. She was crouched down and pointing to markings on the underside of the creepy, bloodstained altar.

    "Is there? What does it say?" Gale asked, shuffling on his knees to get closer to where she was pointing.

    "He's going to crawl around like this and then complain about his knees all the way back to camp," Astarion muttered, sounding half amused and half exasperated. Karlach chuckled just a little, because he was right. Talk about being your own worst enemy: Gale versus his knees and back.

    "It says 'within each self a monster'," Shadowheart read off of the underside of the bowl.

    "Oh, this is very interesting," Gale said. "The blood spilled in the bowl will touch the other phrases, but not this one. I think that marks it as optional. I've heard of something like this before. Azuth set out trials for young mages where one could mark certain incantations with chalk and leave others blank, indicating how difficult a challenge one was willing to face."

    "This would make the trial harder?" Shadowheart asked, straightening. "A more difficult test?"
