    Summary

    Lu Guang is murmuring something into his shirt, syllables soft and blurred at the edges, and Cheng Xiaoshi tilts his head and tries to catch it.

    “—stay—” is what he finally makes out. Or his name. Or don’t go. The words are losing their shape, but Lu Guang’s fingers have found the hem of his shirt and are curling into it, and that, at least, is perfectly clear.

    “I’m not going anywhere,” Cheng Xiaoshi says.

    It comes out quieter than he means it to. He hadn’t meant it to come out like that—like something confessed.

    Or: Lu Guang gets drunk and, stripped of his carefulness, kisses Cheng Xiaoshi. Cheng Xiaoshi has a lot of feelings about this—and the presence of mind to not waste them. The next morning, Lu Guang attempts to avoid the conversation. Cheng Xiaoshi does not allow this.

    Summary

    When Damen marries Laurent, it is not a question of love. It is mere obligation that has brought them together, in attempt to finally bring peace to their respective kingdoms. But as war breaks out on their first day of marriage, Damen has no choice but to leave Laurent behind.

    Ten months later, he returns to Ios as a father of a princess he has yet to meet, and to a wife that is still a stranger to him.

    Summary

    In which Andrew gets a job as a bouncer in the same club where Neil strips.

    He has a rule — a firm one, one he thinks is the only reason he stays sane despite everything — which is to touch Neil as little as possible. It's a self-imposed torture. It’s his last line of defense.

    -

    Or: He fucking breaks it.

    Summary

    “Tell me if you’re safe,” Neil amends, stupidly tenacious.

    “I’m safe.”

    Neil grimaces. He squeezes his phone so hard in his palm that he feels the plastic case bend.

    “I’m coming to get you,” Neil promises, solemnly, fatally serious. The vow of it rings all the way into whichever lonely holding room Andrew is sitting.

    —

    Or: While playing on separate pro teams, Andrew gets arrested. Neil drives across state lines to get to him.

    Summary

    "Do your homework, Levi."

    "That's it? That's my punishment?"

    "Would you like a different punishment?"

    Levi bites back a tsk sound, making a show of crossing his arms and staring out of the window. There are students milling about below, shoving each other and chatting. Some have bicycles and fancier clothes than Levi's ever seen before. They seem so carefree. He wonders what it's like not to have to worry about anything other than what clothes to wear today or how much to study for a test.


    or: Levi lives in the slums with his good-for-nothing uncle. Once he gets the chance to go to high school on the outside, his homeroom and history teacher, Erwin Smith, makes him feel safe in a world in which he never feels safe.
