    Summary

    They are opposing forces, Wen Qing thinks. Herself and Meng Yao. Not quite yin and yang. No, they do nothing to counterbalance the natural energies in the world.

    She is a doctor. She builds bodies up. She carries with her a history of saved lives, of midwives granting children their first breaths, and of staving off infections designed to kill.

    Meng Yao sleeps on a bed of broken bodies. The better he is at ruining her life’s work, the more guaranteed his own is.

    He comes to her every three days for treatment.

    Summary

    “They deserve it,” Xue Yang says, shoving him with his shoulder, trying to cheer him up. “Love kicking assholes asses, it’s pretty entertaining.”
    “You got my back,” Xuanyu gives him a soft smile. His arms move to wrap around his legs like he’s trying to shield himself from danger, and Xue Yang misses his touch. “Thank you.”
    Xue Yang laughs, one of those ugly snorts that make him sound more like a hyena than a human.
    “No thanks needed. I could never pass up the opportunity to beat up some losers.”

    Summary

    Xue Yang is charming in the same way a dangerous animal could appeal to you. He’s all sharp lines and broken edges. Bitter and rude, with an aggressive kind of beauty.
    Xuanyu traces the shape of his nose, slow and featherlike, and can’t help but smile when Xue Yang’s answer to the caress is a small sneeze.
    “Look up,” they say, tilting Xue Yang’s head back after dipping the brush in the black paint.

    Summary

    When Hyakkimaru decides to return home for a bit, Dororo and Tahomaru accompany him. Perhaps it should be as straightforward as that, but even the simplest fabrics are woven of many threads.
