Summary
Four years after Wei Wuxian quit the music industry, ruined one of the most important relationships in his life, and helped bring the biggest company in the region crashing down—not in that order—life has settled into some semblance of a routine. Unfortunately, the universe hates him and nothing can ever go the way he plans. It starts with the guitar, and it just keeps getting worse.
Or, a band AU, mostly.

Summary
In the chaos, they don’t notice until much later. The question of blame is passed around, and then the question of what constitutes a kindness, and then it is all quietly packed away and not brought up again. It’s hardly the worst casualty of the affair. And it isn’t as though the Binder has stuck around to put it back.
(One could claim it wasn’t entirely his fault. It had been taken before, you see. Maybe the old cuts were still there, still healing. Maybe it was flightier than most, used to its freedom. Maybe he was simply an old man who spent too long in a book, sloppy about something so precious. Who can say?)
However it happens, it happens like this: her Shade slips free with her goddesshood, and no one is any the wiser until it is far too late.

Quentin spends his time at the Shade Orphanage. Julia makes a choice.

When up-and-coming playwright Quentin Coldwater lands the Brakebills Theatre Co. spring residency program, he's pretty sure life's as good as it's ever gonna get.

But as Quentin's about to find out, it's one thing to open a door and another thing entirely to follow where it leads.

Fen is married to Eliot. Quentin is also––sort of, kind of, in-an-alternate-timeline-that-may-or-may-not-have-happened way––married to Eliot. As far as Fillorian conversation starters go, it’s not the weirdest.

Summary
There's a longstanding tradition of playing Death for high-risk high-reward stakes: power, immortality, bragging rights. In this case, they're playing for Coldwater. And Margo––HBIC and best goddamn Welter's captain this side of the Neitherlands––isn't going down without a fight. No matter who complains about her choice of game.
C'mon. As if they were gonna play chess for Quentin Coldwater's mortal soul.
