    Summary

    Cheng Xiaoshi spends the next several minutes just staring at the photograph, his finger running gently down the curve of Lu Guang's sunlit features. His mother's voice sounds from the back of his head.

    The photograph is a window into the photographer's soul. Look, baobei, what does this photo tell you about the person who took it? What emotions do they feel?

    Attraction. Longing. Desire. It might as well be written in Sharpie over Lu Guang's face, big bold characters in Cheng Xiaoshi's handwriting.

    Fuck. He really has been blind.

    Over the course of a year, Cheng Xiaoshi learns to see what's been right in front of him this entire time. (Or, familiarity as a love language.)

    Summary

    Step 1: Risk your spot on the basketball team by failing a class.
    Step 2: Flirt with your tutor to try to fix it.
    Step 3: Flunk the flirting and the quiz.
    Step 4: Accidentally fall for said tutor, who looks like he hasn't smiled since dinosaurs went extinct.

    Cheng Xiaoshi didn't plan on catching feelings. He just wanted to pass statistics so he wouldn't get benched from the basketball team. But now, he’s plotting regression equations and calculating the trajectory of Lu Guang’s perfect shoulders— and one of them is certainly his preferred variable in this equation.

    Or, Star Basketball Player: Cheng Xiaoshi’s got a kink for hot nerdy tutors.

    Summary

    In the cover of the dark, Livio waited for Nick to settle the not-angel in the backseat and crawl in next to them.
    Livio drove slowly, taking each curve down the winding road gently, so as to not disturb them more than they had to, and to keep Nick’s stomach from jumping into his throat each time they drove past a cliffside.
    The heat that poured from the vents was nearly tangible, turning the air in the car humid, and leaving Nick miserable under his coat. But soon enough it did its job, and the angel moved in their sleep, curling in on themself and shivering as their body finally woke from the cold enough to save itself from it.
    Blood was smeared on the seats, dried on Nick’s skin and clothes. Downy feathers fluttered to the ground, and he knew that Livio would likely never rid the car of them entirely.

    Or: a simple hike takes a drastic turn when Nick and Livio stumble across an injured angel alone in the woods.
