    Summary

    Shen Yuan’s gotten away with avoiding many of the responsibilities of a well-to-do young master, but he’s finally found the one thing he can’t escape: no matter what, he must take a wife.

    Luo Binghe, Shen Yuan’s personal servant and totally platonic best friend, takes a particular interest in this.

    (Unrelated, and surely not important: demonic sightings in town have risen, and Luo Binghe is keeping secrets. Good thing these things have nothing to do with Shen Yuan’s bridal selection!)

    Summary

    All Shen Yuan wanted was a quiet afternoon, a nice calming walk through the bamboo forest to clear his head after the shock of discovering he's transmigrated into the scummiest character in his least-favorite novel.

    Instead, he's drawn into mediating a childish fight, and then subsequently drawn into helping the poor little sheep protagonist repair his mother's gift. He's no match for the boy's teary eyes.

    He's always wanted his own assistant, anyway.

    Summary

    James Beard nominated chef, Steve Harrington competes against rebel chef and food truck owner Eddie Munson on a new episode of Chopped.

     

    When Eddie turns the corner to take the last station, Steve makes brief eye contact with him and almost gets knocked out by the view of a perfect, cheek-splitting, dimple-showing smile. Steve’s eyes are locked on the view as this Eddie Munson person, while approaching his station, runs his eyes down Steve’s body unabashedly. Steve’s ears suddenly feel hot. He needs to pull himself together immediately and focus. He’s not here for anything but the win.

    Summary

    ”He’d never seen anyone really dead. He wasn’t sure if it would just be bones. He feels bile rising up in his throat and swallows. Maybe if he held him, maybe if he brought him home, he wouldn’t see Eddie in his dreams anymore.”

     

    OR:

    Steve goes back for him, but the Eddie Munson he brings home isn’t the same — not in the slightest.

    Summary

    It starts as a routine. Steve drives past all their houses, just to make sure they're home. And then it's not so easy to sleep any more without checking and rechecking.

    Eddie catches him out. 

    (a story about healing in small parts with someone who understands, about the give and take, the sharing and the listening - and maybe falling a little bit in love along the way)
