    Summary

    Xie Lian is content with his life: as a court official he has a warm place to sleep and easy access to food. He doesn't mind that the other officials don't like him; at least it means he can ignore court politics. But when not one, but two of the Imperial Princes seek his attention, he finds himself at the centre of the battle for the title of Crown Prince.

    Summary

    “You’re sick,” Viktor says, trying to hid the slightly manic note in his voice.
    Yuuri is pacing around the room now, gathering up his bag and his datapad. There’s no way he’s going to let Yuuri go down to the lab. What if he has a coughing fit and accidentally inhales poisonous fumes? What if he passes out and knocks a shelf of acid onto himself? “Yuuri, you can’t work, you’re sick.”
    “Vitya, I’m fine!”
    As soon as he says this, Yuuri dissolves into a fit of coughs.

    (Yuuri gets sick. Viktor cannot handle it.)

    Summary

    There are three things that everyone in Ingary knows.

    One: the eldest child in a family will never amount to anything particularly special. Fortunes and quests and adventure are all reserved for youngest children, particularly if they’re the youngest of three.

    Two: the wizard Viktor Nikiforov is cruel and wickedly handsome. No one with any sense would ever trust him for a second, because the moment you do, he’ll eat your heart whole.

    Three: don’t go to the Waste, because you won’t come back, and if you do, you won’t be the same.

    --

    OR: the one where Yuuri is a quiet hatter and Viktor is a heartless wizard and there's a moving castle, an enchanted scarecrow, a love story, and an extremely powerful fire demon named Yurio.

    Summary

    “Yuuri,” he breathes out, his voice breaking on the last syllable, so filled with emotion. He says Yuuri’s name like a prayer, like he knows him. And Yuuri- Yuuri who has been observing Victor for so long, has no idea what to do with this.

    “Yuuri,” he says again in that terribly fragile voice.

    “I’m sorry,” Yuuri starts just as Victor is raising his hand as if he’s about to take Yuuri’s face between his palms, as if he’s about to pull Yuuri closer. “But have we met before?”

    (Or: Yuuri is a minor deity whose offerings come in the form of paper stars and cranes inside little jars and the only thing Victor chooses to devote himself to.)
