Line drawing of a shark on light blue background, close up on its face, a speech bubble coming out of its mouth that says "Are you looking after yourself?"

    Summary

    The problem is that Art used to work with her, used to be her partner in this instead of the opaque, detached roadblock he'd turned himself into recently. Again and again, Tashi had looked at him and asked: What do you need? What do you want? What do I have to do? and Art would stare past her and insist it was nothing, he was just rusty, it was just a confidence issue, nothing was wrong. "No one's asking you to." 

    Tashi had known she was missing something, but she's realizing now that she may have underestimated how much.

    Summary

    “I wish it had been my fucking— my arm,” she murmurs, brain still foggy from the anesthesia and unsure of whether she’s addressing her mother or Art, both of whom have been in and out of her hospital room the whole morning. “They could just fucking— chop it off— and I’d still—“

    “Hey,” comes her mom’s voice, so soft it makes Tashi’s chest ache, “let’s focus on something else, okay?”

    There is nothing else, she wants to say— nineteen and a mouth full of cotton, nineteen and a has-been before she’d really been anything— nothing else that matters.

    --

    OR: Tashi Duncan, and a now-impossible dream.

    Summary

    A post-canon exploration of appearance, recognition, and love.

    ...

    “Your ears are lovely.”

    Wei Wuxian held Lan Wangji’s wrist and met a wondering gaze. He ought to explain himself before the subject was dropped or forgotten, and the opportunity vanished.

    “What if they weren’t?”

    Lan Wangji’s brows pulled closer together.

    “If I had ears like Xiao Pingguo, would they still be lovely? Or if they were excessively round, bear ears! If I had none at all…or if I had five more? What would you think?”

    Kind heart that he was, Lan Wangji took time to answer, considering Wei Wuxian’s ears several times as he thought. Finally:

    “It would not matter. You do not have such ears.”

    Summary

    "Hi babe," he says. Esther mumbles a sleepy hello ; it's almost midnight and she was definitely asleep. "I need you to baby-proof the apartment." 

    "You what?" She sounds very awake now. "Baby what?" 

    He explains. She's quiet for a minute at the end, and he's worried she might be mad but he also wants to give her the space to express that. "Okay," she says, and her voice is much softer than he thought. "Yeah. Civic duty. I'll make some space for the crib and put all the weapons in the hall closet."
