Summary
“And what’s with all the black, ah? You must dress this way deliberately to ruin things for the rest of us.”
Xiao Zhan’s remark is met with silence, so when he is done taking the next photo, he puts his camera down and looks in Wang Yibo’s direction. Yibo’s face is serious as he considers his hands, which are plucking at the seams of the cushions. Xiao Zhan knows he’s misstepped somewhere, but he can’t think of how he managed to do so. He opens his mouth, to say what, he’s not sure, but Wang Yibo beats him to the punch.
“They’re mourning clothes,” he says seriously.
“Oh,” Xiao Zhan says. He feels like all the wind has been knocked out of him. “Yibo, I’m s—”
“Don’t. It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize. Just wanted you to know. The black just seems appropriate.”
Xiao Zhan is a private detective hired to investigate Wang Yibo for the death of well-to-do Mrs. Archer's deceased brother—Wang Yibo's late husband, Frank Ellsworth. Things quickly get complicated when Xiao Zhan meets Yibo while undercover as a photographer for a local newspaper and develops feelings instead of making headway on his case. -

Summary
This isn't the first time Tony has seen Peter looking alive and whole and very much real. This is just the first time he's not the only one seeing it.
"H-hey," collective-hallucination Peter says. He clears his throat. "Mr. Stark," he adds, though it comes out hoarse and quiet. Tony can't remember whether the real Peter Parker stared this much. Before. The kid had certainly always been wide eyed, but the amount of unblinking eye contact going on right now was probably unheard of before this moment. Just another tick under the column of definitely the product of a psychotic break.

Summary
Roy Mustang does not have a soulmate.
Roughly forty-seven percent of the population is born without the words of their soulmate tattooed on their skin. Ninety-two percent receive their soulmark by the age of five. At age eighteen, if you still do not have your soulmate's words, you are part of a sliver of the world so small that some people do not realize your existence is even possible, and the likelihood you will ever receive a soulmark is almost nonexistent.
Roy had given up on the promise of a soulmate by the age of sixteen, and he had never looked back.

Summary
How I see it is you've got two options. You can ask for a lawyer now, and we will see each other in court in a few days. Or . . . you can spend tonight in jail and maybe we can come up with a deal in the morning to satisfy us both."
"I don't know wut you fink you're gonna get from me. You know I ain't never grassed anyone up. I ain't about to start neither."
"I know, Eggsy. But it's your choice." Detective Hart smiled, but it was a bitter one.
"What you want, then?" Eggsy could never quite figure this man out.
"What I want is to never see you here again," Detective Hart answered, voice sharp. Eggsy knew the detective didn't mean it like that, but the words still stung like a slap to the cheek. "You're not a teenager anymore." Harry's tone was suddenly softer than before. "You're twenty-two now. This may be the last chance I have to offer you. Please take it, Eggsy."
Or
Eggsy is a troubled youth, and Harry Hart is the one who's been pulling the boy off the streets for four years.

Summary
"Don’t you think I deserve the chance to defend myself now though? To regain my pride?”
“What?” Harry scrunches his face up in confusion. “Like, you wanna fight?”
Blue Eyes raises his eyebrows at that and lets out a laugh. It sounds sort of wonderful, like being wrapped in soft blankets.
“Are you kidding? You’re about twice my size.”
“Not really,” Harry mumbles in protest, but the skater talks right over him.
“I think we should race.”
“Race?”
“Yeah, strap on a pair of skates and let’s go.” -
