Summary
The Fëanárians have been largely successful at avoiding human interaction in Beleriand, but when the Moriquendi and the Kumandrans - who fled to Beleriand after the Druun destroyed their homeland - demand a council to coordinate battle plans, they have no choice but to face the second-born Children of Eru that Morgoth claimed would cause their downfall. Naturally, angst and cultural confusion ensue, and everyone and their dog has an emotional breakdown as they attempt to find their way in a world fraught with peril, grief, and doom.
[AU where the Dragons are Valar (who refused to abandon Middle Earth to Morgoth), the Kumandrans are the Atani (who came into being a few hundred years before the rising of the Sun), and the breaking of the Dragon Gem happens five hundred years before Raya and Namaari are born.]

Summary
Feng Xiao was smiling.
The lights in the bar seemed to double, and then began to blur. Cui Buqu was fading and fading fast.
“My comrade has had a bit too much to drink. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he gets home.” Feng Xiao said to the bartender, his voice sounding like it was underwater.
The last thing Cui Buqu felt were arms around his shoulders as he blacked out.

Summary
“He–’ll hate me…everyone…. cruel.” She looks up at Xue Zhengyong once more with the most heartbreaking expression he’s ever seen. He never wants to see it again. “I- I don’t want to go back.”
“Do you need to?”
She bites her lip and shakes her head before sobbing again. “Where else am- am I supposed to go?”
Xue Zhengyong lifts her chin and thumbs away tears once more. He smiles through his own tears of pain for her suffering. “Come back to Sisheng Peak with me.”

Summary
A stray cat keeps showing up at a Chu Wanning's apartment, except he’s not really a stray—he has a collar, and every few days a new tag appears with a handwritten note. What should have been a nuisance becomes something stranger—and softer—as messages turn into meetings, meetings into routine, and routine into something he can’t quite name.

Summary
Love, love of mine
Won't you lay by my side
And rest your weary eyes
Before we're out of time
Give me one last kiss
For soon, such distance
Will stretch between our lips
Now the day's losing lightOr
Yao Yuanzhuo knew he was going to die young. He had known that for years, and decided to focus on his studies to possibly make enough of a difference in the world before he ends up being a burden, gives up, or kills himself/dies. Meeting Qiao Songyue (and falling in love with him) was not in his plans at all, and it changed everything… and nothing at all, at the same time.
