    Summary

    Adrien smiles as he eats breakfast with Nathalie, smiles as he walks through the halls of his new lycée, smiles as people stop him on the street and tell him time and time again what a "hero" his father was.

    (Adrien wishes he could've been a hero, too. He should've been. Maybe then his father would still be alive.)

    (But he's surviving. Everyone may be treating him as though he were made of glass, but he can still go through the motions, he can prove them wrong, he can still smile.)

    “And you’re… happy,” Marinette spoke carefully, a nervous tilt to her voice, “... right?”

    (Adrien has some things to find out.)

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu had been certain, the night before, as he’d let himself drift, that he would never wake again. Instead, he was awake. He could feel sunlight on his face. He had all his limbs, and the bed was soft, and there was no pain save, perhaps, the deep, pleasant burn of muscles well-exercised.

    And there was a hand touching him.


    After his death as Luo Binghe’s prisoner, the original Shen Qingqiu wakes up in Scum Villain’s universe, in the same body Shen Yuan trasmigrated into. A body Shen Yuan has not vacated.

    Faced with a world in which all it took for his sect to thrive, for Yue Qingyuan to live and for Luo Binghe to avoid turning into the scourge of the realms was for someone to take his place and live his life in his stead, Shen Jiu finds himself having to confront old hurts, his own accountability and the inevitability of human (and demonic) nature.

    Summary

    Xie Lian held up the flyer, and squinted at it through the eye-holes of his mask. Beneath the words ‘Join the Selection! Be the Ghost King’s Bride!’ the sweeping eaves rendered in wobbly black ink matched the silhouette of the building in the distance. Paradise Manor. The Ghost King’s home.

    -

    ...The Princess and the Pea retelling? Set before the events of the novel. The Ghost King of Paradise Manor is selecting a bride. Xie Lian doesn't really know what he's doing there.

    Summary

    Grian has everything under control. No matter how sweetly the Entity whispers; no matter the promises it makes. No matter the dreams that plague him, of lives he never lived and friends who never died. Friends killed at his own hands.

    Friends the Entity swears he can have back. And if the Entity wants him to investigate the rift to achieve this end, well, he was going to do that anyway, right? He’s still in complete control. Really.

    He reaches into the Rift. He brings his friends home, red-eyed and strange. These versions of them are…perhaps a bit more bloodthirsty than their counterparts, but they’re alive, and that’s what matters. That’s more than worth the consequences of Grian having his wish granted. Like feeling that he is not quite himself anymore, or the inescapable sense of Knowing that crowds his skull, or the even stranger sense that the worst is yet to come.

    The Entity wants more. (The Entity wants Grian.) And Grian, with the memories of lives he’s never lived crawling under his skin, wants more too.

    In the end, buttons must be pressed. Doors must be opened. Even if some doors were closed for a reason, and better left shut.
