    Summary

    Dottore grins wickedly, pointed teeth insetting each other. He pours a drop of the elixir over his own gloved finger, rubs it between leather until nothing can be said of it. How many years in such a volume? Wagered away in the name of contract.

    Pantalone sighs. “Very well. Is that all?”

    “Oh,” Dottore begins, grin affixed. He caps the vial. “And you will marry me.”

    AKA a story about how Pantalone got his wedding ring.

    Summary

    “Finish the story,” Phainon prompts, and it comes out kind of quiet, kind of weird.

    “He fell in love with a warrior in Okhema,” Mydei tells him, sliding a hand under his pillow. “They were equals in just about everything, and that’s… significant to a Kremnoan. He died sacrificing himself to buy that warrior time to save the city.”

    “That sounds like something a hero would do to me.”

    “Maybe,” Mydei grumbles. “A real hero wouldn’t leave the one he loves to fight alone.”

    On a trip to see his sick sister, Phainon realizes a few things. Foremost of these: through it all, Mydei has never once left his side.

    Summary

    Phainon walks right up to him with full confidence. “Mydeimos,” he says. “I want a divorce.”

    Mydei blinks. “You want WHAT?”

    Phainon loses his memory. He wakes up convinced that he and Mydei are married. And that they should get divorced.

    Summary

    On his first day arriving in Luofu, Yingxing unintentionally commits a felony and has a serendipitous encounter with a beautiful, mysterious stranger.
    A month later, he happens upon the man again at a festival. This time, he earns himself a proper introduction.

    “You want to go to the roof to view the performance? Surely that must be illegal.”
    “Is it?” Yingxing challenges. He grins when the man doesn’t affirm, uncertain whether such a law exists.
    The man cranes his neck to assess the buildings. “I’m not going to climb onto the roof like an ape.”
    Yingxing’s smile widens with mischief. “Then please allow your humble servant to bring you up, Your Highness,” he says with a little bow, hand over his heart.
    The man takes a wary step back, and then another when Yingxing straightens and follows, moving in exactly~ the direction Yingxing needs him to.
    “Rascal, what do you intend?”

    Summary

    “You need a pet,” Feixiao says. “Something to keep you company.”

    “A Diting,” Moze says, because of course he’s there. Probably perched like a bird atop the railing, or hanging like an overgrown bat from the rafters. “It would alert us if he needs help. He could fall down the stairs.”

    “You make it sound like I'm incapacitated. I'm only blind,” Jiaoqiu says dryly.

    or: they’re all so broken, but they taste just right together.
