    Summary

    The Machine Herald and Defender of Tomorrow have a simple arrangement: on Mondays, they have a single round of 'no strings attached' sex to blow off some steam.

    However, a single misunderstanding unravels everything.

    Summary

    Before he can stop himself, he picks up the phone. Every ring seems to last for eternity. Please, he thinks, be there, pick up, don’t be dead, don’t be gone…

    “Viktor?”

    His heart jumps. Silco’s voice is muffled, sleep-thick, but oh so achingly familiar. He had not realised until now just how much he missed it.

    “You do realise it is 2 o’clock in the morning?”

    He tries to speak but no words come out. The guilt, perhaps, has stolen them.

    “Has something happened?”

    “Papa,” he finally whispers. “Papa. Papa.” And then all of a sudden he is bawling his eyes out, horrible, heaving gasps and sobs torn from his throat, wracking his thin frame, and distantly he is embarrassed, but he cannot seem to make himself stop.

    Worn down by the crushing weight of (not actually) unrequited love, workplace disputes, past trauma, and the existential dread that comes with being an overachiever in your twenties, Viktor finally breaks. Papa Silco comes to pick up the pieces.

    Returning to his childhood home in Zaun for a long-overdue rest, Viktor must reckon with his past, his future, and the terrifying prospect of allowing himself to be loved and cared for.

    Summary

    The Lans agree to take in the Dafan Wen after Wei Wuxian rescues them from Qiongli Path. Their only condition: that Wei Wuxian lets himself be purified of resentful energy. Lan Wangji thinks this is how he will finally get his Wei Ying back, free from demonic influences. Wei Wuxian thinks this is a fancy way of saying "execution."

    Summary

    The Machine Herald has a foolproof way to win any argument against the Defender.

    It’s the kind of technique that only works because he unfortunately knows the man too damn well.

    Summary

    Viktor finds himself stranded on the side of the road, dehydrated and inconvenienced, when a benevolent stranger comes to his aid.

    Except he’s not so benevolent and not so much of a stranger.

    ------------------------

    “Thank you… I suppose. For fixing my car.”

    The stranger steps closer, large and looming. Viktor is forced to back up. Suddenly feeling like prey. Unsure of whether this is something he likes or not. Heart slamming hard, once, at the notion that he does, that he’s not recoiling away from it. A thrill coursing through him.

    “’Thank you, I suppose?” Jayce repeats, voice low, threaded with something darker. “I think you owe me more than that.” That wolfish smile plays on his lips. Showing impossibly white teeth, rivaling the sun’s shine.

    The aureate of Viktor’s eyes narrow to a sliver as Jayce prowls another step forward. Viktor takes another step back, cane pressing against the hot pavement. “Compensation? I could perhaps replenish that tank of yours with gas—“

    “I’m not looking for gas money, sweetheart.”
