    Summary

    They toast him, despite his exhaustion and reticence. They take the smooth mask of his face as confidence — they are desperate for it to be confidence. None of them want to acknowledge that all of them are several years his senior, and that he is dirty and tattered and sitting neatly by the fire because he is afraid that if he stands, his trembling will become visible.

    He is growing used to killing, but it is a long journey from acceptance to peace.

    “Lan Wangji!” The woman calls, as she raises her cup. “My light-bringer!”

    Summary

    “The rock,” Jingyi says, voice very very unstable. “Hit the rock, shixiong, fuck, no time to break the wards, hit the rock —”

    The Killing Chord strikes Jingyi’s appointed boulder. It cracks that in half, too.

    Not half a second after Lan Yuan follows Jingyi into the crevice, the yaoguai strikes the stone, talons scrabbling at the crevice, beak pecking at the entrance they’ve made themselves. A red, furious, glowing eye peers in after them, and Lan Yuan stumbles back blindly, vaguely downwards. He’s staring at the entrance, at the clear and present danger. Neither of them are looking backward.

    In hindsight, it’s the worst mistake they make all day.

     

    Wei Ying has spent years sealed under a mountain. It's just his luck that the kids who break him out of it are Lans.

    Summary

    “So that’s it,” says Wanderer. “You’re gonna reuse the same party trick from a hundred years ago.”

    “That’s the idea.”

    Wanderer laughs, but it rattles something metallic in the back of his throat and snaps the last shred of composure inside of him. “Nice try, but I’m not—cherished like Niwa was. You miscalculated.”

    “No,” says Dottore, “I don’t believe I have.”

    Following the battle in Nod-Krai, Dottore abducts Wanderer and replaces him with a clone.

    Summary

    It’s over. Columbina has been reunited with her Authority, Arlecchino is taking Sandrone home to Fontaine, the Doctor has been defeated (for now) and Wanderer and Durin are bound for Sumeru to rest and deliver the news to Nahida.

    Something… lingers.

    As it turns out, puppets don’t like being separated from their cores. Not even when the fate of the world is on the line.

    Following the war in Nod-Krai—because nothing is ever really over—Wanderer develops a chronic illness.
