    Summary

    Peering into the mirror, Alhaitham found a pair of wide tourmaline eyes staring back at him - pools of aquamarine dotted red and gold at the slits, just like his original human pupils. And his body, a gradient of soft greys and whites, had been decorated with intricate black spots all throughout. Reminiscent of a snow leopard or a silver rishboland tiger, the speckles ran all the way down his sides to his hind legs, and inky, elegant lines curled around his face as if kohl had been painted into his very fur.

    Alhaitham, by some curse or some miracle, had been turned into a cat.

    Summary

    Alhaitham is perfectly aware that he’s on borrowed time. He’s also aware that while Kaveh is brilliant, he will never be truly happy or appreciated in the current Sumeru.

    So when Grand Sage Azar drops a hint into a project about Divine Knowledge just as Alhaitham’s time is running out, he decides to dedicate the rest of his very short life into investigating whether or not that could be the downfall for the leaders of the current Sumeru.

    And well, if something goes wrong and he mysteriously disappears, so be it. At least Kaveh won’t be able to somehow blame himself for Alhaitham’s death.

    Summary

    “Oh, who woulda thought I’d be catchin’ an angel in my arms today.”

    …alpha?

    Instead of the ground, he finds himself in the arms of an alpha whose body is sturdy and muscular beneath that leather jacket. He finds himself staring at his own reflection on those shades. He finds himself slipping into unconsciousness, lulled by that… burning scent.

    “Wait! Don’t go faint on me – ”

    Summary

    "You have nowhere to go?”

    “I don’t know,” Neuvillette repeats, progressively more frustrated at his inability to think, “I’ll go somewhere… anywhere,” he attempts, “You may leave me here—”

    “Celestia; were you always this stubborn?” Wriothesley grumbles, “Is Meropide included in this somewhere, anywhere? If all you need is a week off, as long as you don’t complain about the cafeteria food, you can stay with me.”

    Neuvillette thinks of his heat as a burden that he must hide and carry alone. He finds himself struggling to keep his secret while sheltered by Duke Wriothesley.

    Meanwhile, Wriothesley just wants to get through the weirdest week of his life without going irreversibly insane.

    Summary

    So, this may not be the life Jiang Cheng's imagined for himself - he’s living in an apartment slightly bigger than a closet above a café filled with sassy, judgmental cats, penny-pinching and coupon-cutting his way to stave off starvation and scurvy.

    And of course, just to make his life more complicated, there's the Lan Xichen Problem.

    Summary

    There was once a young man that shone so bright, he could have touched the heavens with his light.

    He was the stage’s crown prince, as his fans liked to call him. ”Dianxia” was the best guitarist to emerge in decades, and his sweet voice could melt stone. His band Xianle created songs and music that touched the souls of millions around the world.

    He vanished almost as soon as he rose to fame.

    With an injury that incapacitated him for more than a year, scandals began to rise left and right, revealing the ugly, tainted side of this supposedly perfect idol. His image in the public eye flickered and vanished as the flames of scrutiny grew ever hotter, leaving everyone in the world to wonder:

    Where is he now?

    “Do you know how old you are, a-Ying?”
    “This many,” Wei Ying said and held a hand out with three fingers up. He looked at his hand, considered for a minute, the point of his tongue sticking out between his teeth, put another finger up, then put it down, then up again, before he finally shrugged. “That many,” he said, as if he’d given them a satisfactory answer.

    Summary

    He stared at it. Not believing for many minutes – because who would trust him with this?
    His friend must have made a huge mistake. Or he had no other choice. Probably both.
    Wei Ying nibbled at his bottom lip, edging and almost drawing blood. Even when he was millenniums old, he felt like a child again. He wished his shijie was here with him. He wished it all the time.
    With one long gaze into the night sky he sighed, already accepting. Determined.
    The pure white egg before him pulsating with qi was the only thing keeping him from breaking down.
    _______________________
    Wei Ying finds a wounded dragon inside his woods, death already looming above. In its last moments it gifted the fox something precious. An egg, in pure Lan white. The lonely fox had no idea what this egg would bring him. Or who searched and found them both in the process.
