    Summary

    Steve's chest rises and falls with a sickening stuttered rhythm. His face shines, soaked with sweat, and Will remembers what it looks like wet with blood. Sweat is just as horrifying. Steve's enemy is no longer one that he can beat back with his fists, with a weapon in his hands and a loyal troop at his back. This time, the danger is coming from within. Will envisions strong, tanned hands grasping desperately at his own thin, pale fingers, imagines holding on as Steve mumbles and shakes in fever-induced delirium, thinks about how he would be the constant, the lighthouse on Steve's dark ocean as he fought back the infection and came clawing back into reality. After a long, sleepless night, Steve would blink his eyes open, looking first at the hand enfolded in his own, eyes following the arm up to find Will, the silent sentinel, by his side through it all. He would smile, an exhausted, exuberant grin, eyes shining with devotion, opening his mouth to say—

    "You’re insane."

    Jonathan heaves a long-suffering sigh, the same one Will hears every time they stop for gas and Jonathan sees the prices. "I've taken care of Will a dozen times when he came down with something just like this, I know what I'm doing."

    Summary

    "What in the world do you mean, cutsleeve behavior?” Venti asks.

    Lan Fengmei blinks. “What do you mean? You know, cutsleeve, like how my dads are always acting so cute and in love even after they’ve been married for, like, 13 years? Wait, uh. You don’t know what it means?”

    “...No?”

    Venti discovers the origins behind some very specific Liyuen slang.

    Summary

    “You want to know what happened.” Luo Binghe is mimicking him, answering Mobei-jun’s statement style of questioning with his own. It’s mildly infuriating.

    “My recollection of the event is… Vague,” Mobei-jun admits. “I hoped that Junshang could provide clarity on the matter.”

    “Yes, I think there are a number of things that need clarifying,” Luo Binghe says coldly, rising from his throne. A wave of killing intent rolls off him, and Mobei-jun is momentarily stunned; he hasn’t felt it directed towards him in a long time. “Such as how long Mobei-jun has been harbouring a God in his house.”

    --

    Mobei-jun looks for answers and finds more than he bargained for.
