    Summary

    Joke runs into some old 'friends' and makes some less-than-ideal decisions - thankfully, Jack doesn't buy into that bull most of the time.

    '“Okay…” Joke tried to reel in his emotions, “next time…next time I’ll call you,”
    “Next time?”
    “Yeah, next time I get stabbed I’ll call you,”
    Jack scoffed, resting his head on Joke’s shoulder, “Of course you will...”'

    *this is a stand alone fic*

    Summary

    moments between, behind, or lingering near the things the drama gave us, and many that they should have but didn't.

    Our boy Du Cheng goes through many stages of grief and realization and more grief and more realization, and all the difficulties that come with that - his progression from resenting the shit out of Shen Yi to begrudgingly respecting him and then liking him and more - while Shen Yi is just trying to live his life (and because it's Shen Yi we know that's not as easy as it sounds)

    Summary

    But this particular Friday morning, the grogginess was attended by a wretched pounding in his brain, sharp stinging within his throat, and a terrible ache in his limbs. Kaoru groaned, wincing as he lifted a heavy arm to touch his head. Only to immediately flick it away upon his fingertips perceiving his burning forehead.
    ~
    Kaoru is determined to push through his day as scheduled, despite his fever. Meetings during the day and a beef at night, but he has medicine. It should be fine... Right?

    Summary

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Why?”

    Kaoru shrugs a little with his good shoulder.

    “I thought it’d be done.” He admits, quiet. “Thought I’d have closure.”

    Kojiro snorts. “The only closure I need is the lid on his casket,” he grumbles.

    The aftermath and recovery.
