    Summary

    Stiles deals with the aftermath of being abducted by Peter Hale and left for dead. It's harder than he would have thought to accept his place in the pack when he's convinced that he's the 'weak one' and can't protect himself. Fortunately, Scott and Sheriff Stilinski are there to help, and to nag Derek until he helps, too.

    Summary

    “Yes, well, you see . . .” Deucalion cleared his throat again. “In an effort for authenticity, the writer used an actual binding ceremony in the script. The casting director, wanting to make sure it was pronounced correctly, found an actual shaman to perform it. He did so.”

    “You – you mean – are you saying that Derek and I are actually married?” Stiles managed to squeeze out of his rapidly closing throat.

    Summary

    After a brief meeting of families and an equally brief betrothal, Wei Wuxian is married on a balmy morning in the autumn of his twenty-fifth year.

    Despite his passion for love-ballads and romance novels, Wei Wuxian never expected that he might be married one day. As the common-born ward of a merchant, he lacked the standing to find a wife among the gentry; and though he had liked the idea of a love match—where neither his rank nor that of his wife would matter very much, as long as Wei Wuxian could provide a comfortable home for them—no would-be beloved had ever materialized.

    It was thus that he came to be unwed at the age of twenty-four, when one of his uncle’s old friends from court wrote to Lotus Pier to ask if Jiang Fengmian would be in favor of a ruzhui marriage with Wei Wuxian as the bridegroom.

    Or: the minghun of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, in four parts.

    Summary

    “Supervisory office?” Jiang Fengmian repeats. “Wen Ruohan wishes to turn Lotus Pier into a supervisory office?”

    “That’s right,” Wang Lingjiao coos. Less than six paces away from her, Ziyuan’s face is so red that she looks as if she might burst at any moment, and Wei Wuxian is sprawled on the floor with Zidian sparking over his back. His robes are still whole, so the whip must not have touched him yet: but the sight of his bitten lip, already pierced through in anticipation of pain, is more than Jiang Fengmian can bear.

    “Very well,” he says simply. “If you want Lotus Pier, then take it. Given that, I wonder how you can still have the face to demand that I punish A-Xian.”

    Or: the one where Jiang Fengmian decides to turn back on his way to Qishan, and the capture of Lotus Pier goes somewhat differently as a result.

    Summary

    The bundle comes to Qin Su on an early spring morning, six months after her A-Song is murdered.

    “I can’t,” she says hoarsely, when her husband’s sworn brother sits down before her with the frail little girl in his arms and explains what had taken place on his night-hunt in Yicheng. “I couldn’t take in another child, not when A-Song—”

    “She wouldn’t be another A-Song,” Nie Mingjue replies; and his voice is as gentle as it is gruff, despite the fact that his temperament has been growing steadily worse over the last year. “She’ll never take his place as Jin Guangyao’s first son, no matter how well you come to love her. And besides…”

    He glances down at the child’s tousled head. “Look at this.”

    In which Qin Su becomes mother to a daughter, and all is not as it seems.
