    Summary

    Sophie was about to circle back around to the front of the house and pretend that she'd just arrived when a sharp voice stopped her in her tracks.

    "Excuse me! What are you doing out here?"

    Sophie whirled round to find Megan staring out the back door, arms crossed and scowling heavily. She did not look as though she was having a particularly good birthday.

    Summary

    “You never did tell me what happened in that other world,” Jiang Xichen lowly says and Lan Wanyin shrugs.

    He doesn’t think anything that happened to him in that world is worth mentioning, but he guesses that Jiang Xichen has burned to ask this question for a long while now.

    “Fine,” he sighs and pulls down Jiang Xichen so he sits pressed up to his back and he puts his hands over the arms around his middle. “I’ll tell you.”

    Summary

    Summoned by Lan Qiren, Jiang Wanyin goes to the Cloud Recesses to drop his nephew Jin Ling, expecting to discuss relevant matters with his old master. Instead, he's asked to take with him no other than Sect Leader Lan himself, all the way back to Lotus Pier. If the reason why he accepted such an outrageous task is indeed a mystery, he's about to be surprised by how this entire trip, their encounters, and his warm company, suddenly feel fated.

    For the Xichengclipse2020 event.

    Summary

    “Inej,” the therapist said gently. “Would you like to introduce yourself?”

    Inej inhaled slowly before she spoke, as if measuring the cost of each word.

    “I’m here for aggravated assault and evasion,” she said. Her voice was soft, but it carried. She shifted in her seat, hesitating. "And...two counts of third degree murder but—I don’t believe that defines me.”

    A few people shifted. Someone scoffed quietly. Kaz watched the room instead of her, cataloguing reactions like inventory.

    “And you?” the therapist said, turning to him. “Kaz.”

    He leaned back in his chair, cane hooked loosely under one arm.

    “Kaz Brekker,” he said. “Fraud. Racketeering. Conspiracy. Eight counts of first degree of murder.” —That they knew of. 

    He paused, then added, “And I object to the premise of this exercise.”

    ---

    Kaz meets Inej for the first time in mandatory group therapy as part of the rehabilitation program at the Blacktide Correctional Facility.

    Summary

    During the biggest art theft of the century, two security guards meet for the first time in the dead of night, and Xie Lian faces a choice.

    - - -

    San Lang’s right eye is false.

    And Xie Lian knows where he has seen him before.

    He looks different, of course, when his face is splashed across the newspapers, one eye covered with a dark eye patch, a decade old mugshot the only image the police have to spread awareness of his existence.
