    Summary

    [His coffee steams beside him. Then doesn’t. Then does again. He drinks it. It’s saltwater. It burns the cuts on his tongue, the blade in his hand, his feet at the edge of a—

    Overhead, a light flickers in a pattern he can almost match to the sixth signal. He counts the pulses on his fingers, mouthing something as he stares up—“Two long. One short. Then the gap.”—The thrum is almost overwhelming: A heartbeat? No. A gate.

    The board resets when he turns away.

    The spiral becomes a waveform. Expands into a topograph: a mouth.

    He thinks: The mouth is trying to say something. It’s saying it backward.

    He tries to repeat it back. His voice plays back to him in reverse, magnetic tape spooled wrong. The room trembles. The floor tilts, just slightly, toward—

    The Wound.

    But they didn’t call it that yet. Not then.]

    or,

    Given the choice between rotting in prison or being launched into the black, disgraced astrophysicist Dr. Jayce Talis opts for the jump to Sector E3-R212—The Wound—a puzzling region at the edge of the Boötes Void that should be empty, but isn’t—chasing the echoes that destroyed his life in the first place.

    Summary


    “You have a toothbrush in my bathroom,” Joonghyuk says, and before Dokja can open his mouth to retort or before Sooyoung can even process what the fuck is up with that, actually, Joonghyuk is going on, “You have your own closet in my room because you don’t go back to your place enough to change, not to mention your books. Name one time in recent memory when you’ve slept in your own bed.”

    Telling silence is his answer.

    “Okay,” says Dokja after a moment. “You may have a point.”

    Han Sooyoung wingmans her best friends.

    Summary

    Yoo Sangah has never hated someone so much. You’d think that would make it easier to kill them.

    “What is this shit?” Han Sooyoung sighs, shoving the book back in its place on the shelf. “Lady, this isn’t the sort of stuff I care about. Haruki Murakami? Do I look like a normie to you?”

    Yoo Sangah. Has never. Hated. Someone. So much.

    Zhao Yunlan's fingers tease open the buttons over Shen Wei’s belly. As he undoes them, one finger brushes against the cold skin under the cotton and Shen Wei sucks in a breath. Zhao Yunlan chuckles. “Is Brother Black ticklish?”

    “Do you know him?” Jin Wang asks.

    The ringing in Zhou Zishu's ears gets louder. “No, Wangye,” he says.

    At Zhou Zishu’s voice, the prisoner freezes.

    Summary

    Zhou Zishu is unable to ignore the clamminess of his skin or the ache of his hips where they’re pressed to the bed. He swallows, tongue rancid. Raising his chin under Wen Kexing’s scrutiny, he quietly orders, “Tend to your husband.”

    Wen Kexing exhales. His eyes crinkle. “Your feet won’t touch the ground.”

    Summary

    Zhou Zishu snatches the jar from his playful touch and ignores his puppy look to refill only his cup before putting it far out of his reach. “Pardon this inexperienced one,” he replies, “but I don’t think I’ve been flirting with you, Lao Wen.”

    At this, Wen Kexing laughs, delighted. “Inexperienced one,” he echoes, in a crude mockery of Zhou Zishu’s voice. “And here I thought you’d never lie to me, A-Xu.”

    Summary

    He couldn’t find anything in Wen Kexing’s body that should be keeping him from waking; it stood to reason that it was his mind that was the problem. Zhou Zishu probably knew Wen Kexing’s mind as well as anyone else alive or dead, and he doubted it was straightforward. So he read about the techniques of Healer Valley, and held Wen Kexing’s wrist or his hand or his cool cheek. The prevailing theory was that the best way to settle a person’s mind for them was in dreams. After all, wasn’t it dreams that told the truth when nothing else would?

    Zhou Zishu wasn’t sure that was true. And he didn’t imagine that Wen Kexing would appreciate having his secrets dragged into the light that way. But frankly it was his own fault; it wasn’t as though he’d left Zhou Zishu any choice. If Wen Kexing would only wake up, he would welcome his complaints.

    Summary

    “Maybe you could say that our meeting was fate bringing two likeminded people together.”

    The feared master of Ghost Valley, hated by everyone, had finally fallen and the people of the jianghu could breathe a sigh of relief.
    The former master of Tian Chuang, now living secluded in the mountains, found an injured man and saved his life.

    or

    What if Valley Master Wen Kexing was defeated by the other ghosts and then saved by the reclusive Zhou Zishu?

    Summary

    SPOILERS for the identities of Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu.

    *

    “I’ve realized that you’re scared,” Kexing says. “You want me to be Rong Xuan’s son, because that would fit neatly into the story. Would that justify the blood on my hands? Or do you simply fear how much blood there is?” He raises a hand, touches Zishu’s chest. Like this, he can feel Zishu’s heartbeat. Kexing could claw it out. There would be a lot of blood.

    Summary

    Zhang Chengling knows he hasn’t been dealt the best hand in life, but he’s content where he is now. Living with Zhou Zishu is comforting in a way Chengling cannot describe and could not have imagined back when he was still being shuffled from uncle to uncle. He’s comfortable here--happy, even.

    Chengling doesn’t have much to complain about these days. In fact, the only issue troubling him is the increasingly evident realization that his adoptive father’s house husband is an actual mobster.

    Summary

    “We’re going home,” Zhou Zishu huffs when he pulls Wen Kexing’s arms over his shoulders, then hitches his legs around his waist. He hops in place to get a good grip under the bends of his knees, then makes sure his robe is covering as much of Wen Kexing as it can. “If you die before we get there, the first thing Shixiong will do when we see each other on Naihe Bridge is hit you.”
