Summary
Quỳnh cannot tell what Andromache wants, and this is worse than the unfamiliar sights and sounds and tastes and sensations. She is used to learning new languages and new peoples and new cities. She is not used to learning a new Andromache.
"Do you still?" she asks. It is the only thing she can think to say. It is too big of a concept to put into words.
Andromache freezes. She's still looking at Quỳnh in a way that tastes like the thousands of years they spent breathing the same air. Now Quỳnh has spent centuries breathing brine. It salts the next breath she takes, even now.
OR: five times Quỳnh catches Andromache staring at her, plus one time they finally work it out.

Summary
It is the captain he cannot stand, Captain William Laurence, with all the pride and false honour of his countrymen and none of the good sense to stay in dreary England and leave the rest of the world to those who don't want to destroy it.

a cool creek in the dry heat by Fleetling for Shizuku206

Summary
There is, at the very least, the creek close by. It is smaller than any river has a right to be, but it is still flowing, even now, in the hot-dry.
"Do you think I might be able to bathe?" Temeraire asks, quiet, as they come to the lunch-time break.

Summary
Andromache says, "I used to think it was my job to save you," and Quỳnh feels the oath breaking like it's her skin and bones, like she'll bleed out from Andromache's betrayal before Nile's stab. Anger, too. She is so angry.
"It was," she says, and presses the detonator.

Summary
William Laurence, third son of Lord and Lady Allendale, has been adrift in the world since his failed career start in His Majesty’s Navy. In an attempt to gain a foothold as candidate for Stable Master in his family's legacy as one of the top Thoroughbred yards in the nation, he takes on the seemingly straightforward task of a business trip to the far-flung island of Thisby, where supposedly, an eccentric horseman has managed to introduce the fabled capaill uisce into his breeding stock bloodlines. However, as the autumn tides turn, the island’s facade begins to crumble and Thisby’s true nature reveals itself. Laurence’s life is thrown into upheaval when unforeseen circumstances bring him to enter in this year's race, and he must capture a water horse of his own: a reckless undertaking that could cost him his life.

Summary
“I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”
Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.
“Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”
___
Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.
Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

Summary
"Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."
Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."
--
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway.

Summary
"Oh, and speaking of pretty boys," Nie Huaisang says, turning back to Wei Wuxian's unconscious form, "Don't get me started on poor Second Master Lan. He's pathetic without you, you should really see him. He's practically in tears without you here to flirt with him! He's mooning over your corpse like —"
"Nie Huaisang, that's enough," Lan Wangji snaps. He struggles with what to address first; the worst is that, "Wei Ying is not a corpse. Don't say such things."
"Sorry," Nie Huaisang says. "But sitting there silently and willing him to wake up isn't going to help, Hanguang-Jun. You want him to wake up, right? Then tell him why!" He whacks Lan Wangji's shoulder lightly with his fan.
--
Wei Wuxian is unconscious for three days after the fall of QishanWen. His friends worry themselves sick.
