    Summary

    “It smells so good in here.”

    “In the cafe? Where we’ve been baking all day? No.” Your tone is flat.

    “Ha ha” he says.

    In which the Reader bakes and Hawks eats.

    Summary

    Aventurine doesn't like being understood, but he does like understanding other people. It is essential for manipulation, for scheming, for control. And he likes controlling you especially—for keeping you close but your heart a comfortable distance away, for opening your legs when he wants the pleasure of your body, for playing your emotions however he needs. And the day will come when that skill will be invaluable—the day when he must die without shattering you.

    (Or: You are the only person in the universe who understands Aventurine in his mother tongue. He often regrets teaching it to you.)

    Summary

    Intrigue, ill-advised exchanges, unfortunate occurrences, petty comebacks. A man with too much power and too many plots can't seem to leave Stelle alone. Naturally, Stelle only returns the favour.

    It's nothing serious.

    Until it is.

    Summary

    Come to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
    Alone.
    We have an emergency situation with the General and we need you here posthaste, don't alert anyone.

    Mara and death aren't the only things Dan Heng has to fear would happen to Jing Yuan, it appears, as another thing most odd befalls him instead. He turns into a frog.

    Summary

    “Are you planning to knock me over the head?” Jing Yuan says with some interest.

    Because, to tell the truth, he doesn’t remember the last time he got any real rest that didn’t involve being unconscious or sedated, and he doesn’t take Blade to be a narcotics kind of guy, or he’d be drowning out the mara with opium instead of Kafka.

    “You think I knock Kafka over the head?”

    Jing Yuan is less interested in Blade’s question than in the fact that Blade is climbing into the bed. With him.

    Blade is in the bed with him.

     

    (Featuring Blade as the most uncaring nurse attendant ever.)
