Summary
“As if I have any eye for art,” Mydei replies.
Castorice rolls her eyes. “As if plating isn’t just sculpture with food.”
He opens his mouth to fire back a snide rejoinder, realizes she’s right, and holds his tongue instead. She’s doing him a favor, forcing him out of his house, one of his only friends who’s stuck with him over the past year of tremendous, never-ending grief. No one knows how to deal with a widower’s pain and loss. No one wants to. But Castorice has faced even more death than he has, and she hasn’t let him pull away from the world despite his attempts.
After the unexpected death of his partner, Khaslana, about a year ago, Mydei meets photographer Phainon at a gallery exhibition he's forced to attend by his friend, Castorice. Unexpected sparks fly between them as they grow closer through Phainon's photography.

Summary
“Any challenge is a worthwhile endeavor,” Varka replies. “But if you’re worried about being fair or giving me a handicap…” Flins certainly hadn’t said that, but now he’s curious, and he grows more curious as Varka withdraws a scrap of fabric from one pocket. “Play blindfolded.”
The challenge whets Flins’s appetite. He isn’t the kind of fae who exults in games of chance but rather ones of wit and strategy, and he was fond of collecting intelligent men like glittering baubles at the Belyi Tsar’s court. “If I am to handicap myself, then I should receive a greater reward if I win, don’t you think?” he asks, the words out of his mouth before he can help them, for he, like all fae, loves a bargain.
When a bad storm strands Varka at Flins's lighthouse, the two play chess to pass the time. After beating Varka twice, Flins agrees to play with a blindfold, provided the loser owe the winner a boon.

Summary
“I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”
Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.
He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.
“I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.
“If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

Summary
That night, Neuvillette dreams of the sea, but it is made of darkness and glittering starlight. He coasts through empty space instead of warm waters, and a distant sense of urgency churns in his belly. Faster, he must go faster, there is something creeping close behind him, but the fear that accompanies nightmares isn’t present in this dream—and he knows he is dreaming, is keenly aware of the world’s constructed fantasy. No, there is no fear, only the thrill of being chased, something he’s long desired but never found cause to enjoy. None can match him; he is alone in the world, a singular creation, left over from another era.
He flees ahead of whatever it is, a tidal wave of force at his back, his heart beating harder with exhilaration. With excitement. He wants… he wants…
Neuvillette meets a mysterious traveler named Childe who claims only to want to know the myths and legends surrounding the hydro dragon.

Summary
Dan Heng does not resist his undressing. The Preceptor is quick and sharp with his movements, jerking Dan Heng’s trousers and then his underthings down to his ankles with an efficiency that can only be practiced. Jing Yuan narrows his eyes. Dan Heng’s cheeks brighten as he stands completely nude before them, but he does not attempt to conceal his body—nor does Jing Yuan attempt to keep his eyes from wandering over it. He stops, however, when he sees what is between Dan Heng’s thighs.
This body’s penis is familiar to him; the times he’s buried it within himself are myriad and uncountable. But though his own member twitches with desire for it, that is not what draws his gaze—or his fury.
“What have you done?” he hisses.
———
While investigating reports of widespread mistreatment at the Shackling Prison, newly appointed Arbiter-General Jing Yuan comes face-to-face with his past lover’s reincarnation. To his dismay, he finds that the guiltless Dan Heng has been subjected to horrific abuse. For now, Jing Yuan can only offer him a semblance of relief.
