    Summary

    The braid was nearly finished now, crimson fading to dark strands winding together like threads of night sky. Xià Fěi tied it off with a flourish, his touch lingering just long enough to draw a reaction—a subtle shift of Vein"s posture, a flicker of tension at the nape of his neck.

    “Liú Xiāo says I’m reckless,” Xià Fěi continued, tilting his head as he admired his handiwork. “He thinks I push too hard, get too close to things that could destroy me. He doesn’t get it, though. The fun’s in the danger.”

    “You’re a fool.” Vein muttered as he turned around, facing Xià Fěi. It swayed gently as he shifted, a tangible reminder of Xià Fěi’s audacity.

    “Mm, you’re still here,” Xià Fěi countered, his voice softening into something almost tender. He leaned back on his hands, his posture loose and casual, but his gaze was sharp, searching. “You know, Liú Xiāo’s the Earth. Grounded, steady, always pulling us back when we drift too far; but you and me?” He paused, letting words hang like smoke in the air. “We’re the sun and the moon. Always circling, always drawn to each other, even if we’re too stubborn to admit it.”

    Summary

    A soft giggle floated on the crisp breeze and Xie Lian glanced up from sorting, expecting to see some local children playing in the forest, but it was otherwise quiet. No rushed footfalls or rambunctious shouts, but perhaps they played the hiding game. His attention returned to his task, turning over various recipes in his head and deciding upon improvements with the addition of his overripe berries.

    Another quiet laugh, then a soft rustle, and Xie Lian’s hands stilled. Rather than raise his head he listened closely instead, centuries of experience told him this laughter was not as childish as initially thought.

    “Handsome gege…” a voice tittered and the woodsy scent of bamboo was suddenly overwhelmed by a thick, cloying fragrance. Xie Lian wrinkled his nose before he was seized with the urge to sneeze.

    God he may be, but when one lived nearly a millennium it wasn’t possible to cling to every incident with perfect clarity. Much of his past was best forgotten, but that scent quickly, viciously dragged one particularly horrid memory to the surface.

    Summary

    "I’m Wei Ying, nice to meet you.”

    Lan Zhan stares at the hand being offered, brain still trying to process the hurricane of a person in front of him.

    “Lan Zhan,” he replies, and shakes the hand once, politely. “Is this your seat?”

    or, sometimes a chance meeting on a train and twenty four hours together are enough for two people to fall in love.

    UPDATE: Three extras added for the epilogue 🎄
