Summary
As a footman, John knows his place: stand silently against the wall, assist the family however they ask. Even when Eloise's only request is to leave behind her stiff life as a viscount's sister, if only for a little while.
OR, John helps Eloise avoid the 'ton, and Eloise can't stop seeking out the footman with the quiet laugh and handsome smile.

Summary
General Jing Yuan was old, even by long-life species standards. With time comes experience, and he had gone through enough ordeals to fill several lifetimes, even among his peers. Few can claim as many achievements as he did, or pretend to know as much as him. The wise, powerful Seat of Divine Foresight, the very picture of a wise guardian.
That same guardian was scrambling to find his communicator through his robes, his cheeks marked by eyebags and his hair comparable to the fur of a wet stray cat.
With his hands finally on the device, he tapped it and put it to his ear, before speaking out in a barely composed voice:
“Yukong, how does one change a diaper?”
Many have asked how in Lan’s name would the General himself take in an unknown infant under his wing. He refused to answer, and would continue to do so in the future.Bookmarked by chimericalrai

Summary
The boy reaches his arms out toward Jing Yuan, and the Synesthesia Beacon interprets his intent as, ‘Up!’
Even the Lux Arrow streaking across the sky cannot inspire the kind of overawed terror this boy instills in him. Mouth dry, Jing Yuan smiles shakily and attempts a delicate rejection, clasping one of those tiny outstretched hands to lower it. But when the kid realizes what’s happening, his crestfallen expression makes Jing Yuan feel like someone has run a sword straight through his heart, and he folds like wet paper, gathering the child up in his arms.
Jing Yuan’s sudden reversal has the child giggling with delighted surprise, and oh.
Oh.
There is a boy whose smile is brighter than the rising sun.
Yanqing grows up. To Jing Yuan, it is like watching a dawn that does not fade.
