Summary
It shouldn't be happening. It's impossible -- like properly impossible, not just Spiral impossible. This door isn't even real, much less actually made of wood but --
The latch snaps under their combined force and the door swings inward, somehow, rather than outward and both of them pitch forward and fall.
There's a sound not unlike a lightbulb burning out.
(A time travel AU where everybody lives and nothing is fixed.)

Summary
Annabelle Cane had seen a lot in her life. In many ways, that was a key part of her job -- to watch from a distance, to carefully and invisibly course correct. This meant she was arguably one of the most well informed people in the world, outside of The Beholding and its know-it-all cronies. But even then -- on a good day she'd be happy to go toe-to-toe with someone like The Archivist just to see who the real ceaseless watcher was in all of this.
Not that she'd ever stoop so low, and not that she'd ever be so petty. But she could hold her own, if it ever came down to it, and she kept that fact very close to the tangle of sinew and spider web that made up her heart.
(In which Annabelle Cane takes an accidental interest in the unexpected connection between The Distortion and an arsonist)

Summary
"Will you tell me? Not now, but -- I don't know, someday. Do you think you will?"
"I--" a long pause, a ripple, a radio in between stations, "I don't know. I'm not sure I can."
"Hm." A hum, a nod, hands carding through hair that isn't hair, "well, that's alright. I guess 'someday' and 'never' are functionally just two different ways to say the same thing, huh?"
"Now you're getting it," a kiss that tastes like 36-hours without sleep and the sound of neon lights turning on.

Summary
"Then what is my concern, Michael?"
"A great many things, I'm afraid." Michael offers, after some apparent consideration. That makes Gerry laugh because, well, yeah, no surprise there.
(An AU where Gerard Keay is more important than he realizes, Michael is forced to cope with the horrifying ordeal of being known, Elias Bouchard has a plan, and unfortunately for all of them, so does Gertrude Robinson.)

Summary
“Your desires are not a danger to you,” Michael said. It seemed like an attempt to be reassuring, but he sounded jealous in a way that made Gerard’s heart ache.
“Neither are yours,” he offered.

Summary
It might be fun, Xue Yang considers, to get pure, gentle Xiao Xingchen to give him what he wants. Sure, one could do any number of things to him, but wasn’t there greater poetic justice in making him do it? And want to do it?
Or, Xue Yang bites off more than he can chew.

Summary
Wei Wuxian smiles at him. Lan Wangji smiles back, helpless not to.
‘Don’t do that,’ Wei Wuxian says.
‘Do—?’
‘Smile like that,’ says Wei Wuxian, in a very how dare you!!!! sort of fashion. ‘How am I supposed to think when I know you can smile like that!’
‘Don’t think,’ Lan Wangji advises.
.
Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses for the winter months. He and Lan Wangji learn that emotional intimacy and physical intimacy are not (yet) quite synonymous.
They have time to figure it out.
