    Summary

    “That’s—”

    “Inappropriate?” Techno finishes, and there’s a wildness in his smile now, a recklessness. “I took a baseball bat to appropriate three years ago when I realized the only person who makes me feel like a person instead of a portfolio is the one person I’m not allowed to have.”

    The word have is a detonation. Dream’s knees weaken. He braces a hand against the wall, fingers splayed on the cool plaster.

    “Stop.” It’s barely a whisper.

    “I can’t.” Techno is closer now. Somehow. Dream doesn’t remember him moving.

    Or: Secretary Dream keeps his billionaire CEO running on schedule and oat-milk lattes, but when the rhythm of late-night puzzles and ten-foot silences starts to feel like love, the job description begins to cost more than he budgeted for.

    Previously known as "this tragedy is a performance (and i wrote every line)"

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    When Shen Qingqiu is put on public trial for murder, Huan Hua Palace unveils a memory artefact to expose his past before the entire cultivation world.

    The cultivation world wants him condemned. Huan Hua Palace wants a spectacle. And with a device capable of dragging the past into the light, they are certain they will get both. The verdict has already been written on every face in the room.

    But Shen Qingqiu knows there are fates worse than being called a murderer. There are truths he has survived only by burying. And once the memories begin, the trial becomes something far worse than judgment: not proof, but exposure. Because hidden in Shen Qingqiu’s past is one truth more private than shame, more dangerous than scandal, and far harder to survive than the accusations themselves.

    Summary

    When Satoru closed his eyes for the final time, he never expected to wake up. His death was the only thing he was sure of in this strange new world.
    He closed his eyes, the great Gojo Satoru, the god amongst mortals, the strongest, and his heart stopped beating.
    He was dead. That was it.

    So why was he still here? Why could he hear his beating heart, his breath, could feel the world around him? Why could he still see?
