    Summary

    Jiyan falls defending Jinzhou to his last breath. To his astonishment, he opens his eyes to find himself a month after the Battle Beneath the Crescent…with Geshu Lin miraculously alive.

    This second chance, he resolves to live his life without regrets.

    “What the hell are you wearing?” Geshu Lin’s voice is a little too rough when he recovers.

    “My clothing meets regulations for non-standard uniforms. It’s more practical for wielding Qingloong.”

    “Which part of that,” Geshu Lin gestures emphatically to his half-off robe, “is practical?”

    “Should I remove the robe then?” Jiyan asks helpfully. Emboldened by Geshu Lin’s rare discomposure, he suits action to words, unbelting and shrugging off the hanfu, leaving him in his sleeveless top and gauntlets.

    Put your clothes back on,” Geshu Lin hisses in disbelief.

    Summary

    Jing Yuan receives a fatal blow, but instead of passing on peacefully to the afterlife, he regains consciousness to find himself transported into the past, before the Quintet had formed.

    This second chance he resolves to live without regrets, to prevent the tragedies to come, and to pursue his first loves.

    Aka I had Feels about Jing Yuan being…kind of left behind in the past after 1.2. Wrote this to comfort myself.

    Note: This is our present day in-game aged Jing Yuan transported into the past. I conveniently made no existing Jing Yuan present in that “alternate universe”.

    Summary

    “Hmph.” Kaveh steps closer. "So why choose to listen to my voice even when I’m complaining about you?”

    Alhaitham shuts his eyes. “Just because.”

    “Being a little vague there, Scribe Alhaitham.”

    “I just…” Alhaitham sighs. “I just really like your voice.”

    Or, Kaveh learns sign language because he fears that Alhaitham is growing tired of his voice. He doesn't understand that Alhaitham actually... loves it.

    Summary

    “Fuck it,” Bakugou exhales angrily, more to himself, and then suddenly is leaning over Shouto where he sits, arms by his sides and face close to his. "It doesn't matter what kind of weird mind game you're playing. I'll beat you no matter how much better than me you think you are."

    "When you're not acting out I actually respect you a lot," Shouto corrects mildly. It's said in part because he wishes Bakugou would get over this complex and in part because he's starting to develop a knack for making Bakugou pull the face he's pulling now. "You're really not that bad these days."

    Bakugou blinks furiously, then sags abruptly, expression gone disheartened. "You've lost it. I- what's next? You gonna declare your love for me mid-battle?”

    “I don’t think so, no,” Shouto replies, instinctively, then stills, thinking about it.

    “I’m fucking- going,” Bakugou continues, undeterred and jittery. “Fucking weirdo.”

    He's up and gone in a hurry, casting a last disturbed glance back over his shoulder, and Shouto stays very still, looking blankly at the sky.

    Well, shit.

    He thinks he may have missed a few things while redefining his feelings.
