    Summary

    They’re a brighter orange than he was expecting, that’s the first thing he notices. Lan Zhan was vaguely concerned he might have difficulty actually seeing the mushrooms amongst the undergrowth, but that clearly won’t be a concern. He’d also worried that they wouldn’t find many, that they’d tromp over hill and dale for only a handful and waste their time, but this patch alone is enormous to his untrained eye. Dozens of bright orange ruffled mushrooms sprout up from the layer of fir needles covering the ground, occasionally lifting an entire fallen leaf with them in their enthusiasm to grow. It’s like being in a meadow planted with crocuses in early spring, except that it’s fall, and instead of flowers, it’s mushrooms.

    “Like I said,” Wei Ying says, nudging his elbow against Lan Zhan’s. “They love it.”

    Or: Five years after Wei Ying left, Lan Zhan accepts his invitation to go chanterelle foraging. They find more than they were expecting.

    Summary

    Eddie Munson is a mechanic at his uncle’s sunny SoCal garage during the day; at night, he’s one of the most highly sought after mechanics for the street racing community as they race for pink slips, cash, and glory. He works on all the winningest cars, makes a killing in his bets and cuts with the racers for his work, and is generally just a top dog in this underworld scene — until some new hotshot out of Miami shows up, allegedly tight with racing legend Joyce Byers (or maybe that ex-cop squeeze of hers), and starts sniping wins from Eddie’s guys. He wants to hate him, and the suped up, hot pink Honda S2000 he rolled in on; it’s just too bad that he’s also just Eddie’s type: pretty, mean, and lethal behind the wheel.

    He’s desperate to keep his wits about him and to keep this grudge going, but it’s fucking near impossible when it seems like him and Harrington can’t keep their hands off each other whenever they end up in the same darkened clubs to save their lives. And it’s maybe even worse than just a shitty crush, because, all the while, someone is causing trouble for the whole racing community when a trio of white Honda Civics start robbing eighteen wheelers of their cargo, bringing the heat down on all of them...

    Summary

    Lan Wangji lifts his head to press his lips to Xiao-Hei's forehead, the kiss an expression of all the affection he has to offer.

    “Prrt?” Xiao-Hei says, and stretches, and—

    The weight on Lan Wangji increases abruptly, and his hands aren't touching soft fur anymore, they're touching soft skin—bare skin—and he's looking down into Xiao-Hei's yellow, slitted eyes, though not into Xiao-Hei's little cat face, but the face of a man.

    A beautiful, startled, very naked man.

    Or: Lan Wangji finds himself with a stray cat he didn't want, then a stray cultivator he pretends not to want, and then a stray boyfriend he definitely wants.
