  2. Summary

    Yume posting yume posting yume postinggggggg. Most of the works in here are extremely self-indulgent but I give them to the grand Archive anyways.

    Ordered based on posting date, not read order. Read order doesn’t matter anyways, it’s just a giant mix of things.

    Perhaps that was the whole answer—we can find a home in the hearts of those close to us.

    In the hearts of people like us.

    Summary

    Yuwei pried herself off the floor. The street lights flickering on far below was enough permission to haul herself back to bed. It wasn't like she was going to get anything done now. Her hair was stringy and tangled. Her pajama shirt was beginning to smell under the arms. The air in her apartment was stagnant and rank with the stink of takeout containers she hadn't managed to get into the trash chute. She was pathetic. Weak. A fraud. Useless as anything more than a shiny novelty piece. The cinderblock of lead in her hollow chest dragged her into bed and pinned her to the mattress, a specimen moth, a bottomless abyss in the outline of a person. A ceaseless hunger shaped like a human being. An unfillable emptiness given form. If she had ever earned anything, it was the right to not wake up.

    A rule is absolute.

    They do not bend. They do not break.

    The one who declares them shouldn’t, either.

    Summary

    A billboard blares: “LOLI SIGNS CONTRACT WITH FOMO—”

    “Sold your soul?” Liu Yuwei asks. Luo Li tenses and straightens up, meeting Liu Yuwei’s gaze head-on, none of the startled hero-worship she’d seen on her face when they had first met years ago.

    Four snapshots.

    This is the hero system: for something like a revival and a right to cling on, the steep, hefty price is learning to clutch fiercely at what makes you yourself. Even when it slips to the floor and shatters into a thousand shards.

    A soft, long kiss tasting like coffee in cute, bunny mugs, like breakfast shared on the floor over the background noises of an open TV and a phone ringing with notifications.

    Like pure intimacy, like normalcy and domesticity.

    Whose taste persisted on her smile when they parted, on his lips that she teasingly brushed with her right thumb.

    "A good morning and goodbye kiss."
