Summary
Then Zheng Bei asks if he could stay, and it brings him down hard. It doesn't burst the fantasy—worse, it pins it down, here to the fabric of reality, making the two touch. He doesn't know what to say. Zheng Bei's face is serious. What if he means it? What if he could stay? What if he could have this?
He doesn't answer. He can't possibly answer, can't probe the gulf between what he wants and what's possible. They walk on. Could he mean it? Could he like Gu Yiran that much, enough to build him into his life? And if he did, how much would Gu Yiran give up to have that?
On the way home they walk close, side by side. Swinging, Zheng Bei's knuckles brush his and send a tingling jolt through him. Once could be an accident, but it happens again, and again. The third time Gu Yiran flexes his fingers against Zheng Bei's, lets them catch and hold for a lingering few seconds before separating. He feels flushed and giddy, knowing Zheng Bei is seeking his touch.

Summary
The barista was a pretentious young man in an expensive shirt and delicate wire-rimmed glasses. His dark hair fell past his collar like he was some sort of art student.
"Iced black coffee, no sweetener," Luo Wenzhou ordered. He wasn't picky about coffee as long as it wasn't decaf or instant.
The barista gave him a long, slow blink, eloquently expressing his opinion of the grandpa who had just walked into his shop with such an unimaginative order.

Summary
Truthfully speaking, Edwin is nearly always afraid, in some capacity or another. He can relax and laugh with Charles, certainly, but he rarely forgets the Hell-forged sword poised at his neck, ready to strike at the slightest slip up or mistake. Fear is nothing new to him.
Sometimes though, sometimes, that fear slips over into terror and his feet glue themselves to the floor. It is cruel, to be so pleased when Charles is there to jolt him free again, to delight in Charles' presence, in the midst of the danger with Edwin. But Edwin delights in it anyway.
Or: a case involving demons, dolls, and magical ghostly tortures bring Edwin's fear to the forefront, but Charles is never far behind.

Summary
Natsume deftly folded the paper, leaving bloodied fingerprints on the back of the thick parchment, and tucked it into his mouth. He clapped his hands, the crisp sound piercing the chill air, as he threw his head back and closed his eyes. The ink began to separate from the paper and flow as if carried away on an unfelt breeze. There was a flash of light, and the shadow was gone. Natsume fell back to his knees, breathing heavily.
The courtyard fell silent. The icy wind had died down, and the circle etched in the dirt had faded away.
Then his eyes fluttered open, and he saw the Fujiwaras standing at the gate.Bookmarked by noden
