    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu’s throat burns as he swallows down the acid climbing up his raw throat.

    A flower.

    A flower came out of his throat.

    “Shizun…you—”

    Shen Qingqiu doesn’t hear the rest of Luo Binghe’s sentence. Instead, he hears two dissonant shouts of surprise as his body drops like a sack of flour and his consciousness blinks out like a dead light.

    Or

    Shen Qingqiu is doing Just Fine while his prized disciple is in the abyss, thank you very much. Nevermind the coughing, and the blood, and the...flowers?! Oh, fuck this, he demands a transmigration refund!!

    Summary

    “He frowned, humming in quiet disapproval as he tugged at and adjusted his suit. Not that it needed to be adjusted, of course– he had shelled out all the gold necessary to ensure it was tailored to him perfectly. He had an image to uphold, after all. But something about it was off, the image of him in the same suit he always wore suddenly not quite right. The dissonance clawed at his mind like a cat trapped in a box.

    Just one of those days.

    Those Days– which he had dubbed them whenever he forgot that he wasn’t supposed to be thinking about it– had been cropping up more frequently since they had escaped the feywild. You had more time to think about things you rather wouldn’t when a hundred-thousand gold piece debt to the most dangerous man in Agwè wasn’t hanging over your head, he supposed as he wiped off his drawn-on mustache. It had been smudged at some point during the day. Probably Gideon’s fault.”

    Or: You can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs, and Kremy makes one hell of an omelet.

    It was eating him alive that Gideon couldn’t Toy Soldiers this bitch.

    Summary

    Gideon doesn’t think he could be dangerous towards Kremy even if he tried, and he obviously isn’t gonna try. He needs something from Kremy–well, there’s something only Kremy can give him, and Gideon knows better than anyone how Kremy Lecroux deals with threats: throwing Gideon Coal at them. So Gideon being the threat wouldn’t make a damn lick of sense.

    Neither does this thought rattling around his head like broken ribs do when someone’s tossed in a pigpen after being punched in the body. “What if, and I’m just saying this as one of those hypotheticals, y’know, but what if I really did murder Chuckles?”

    The Witchlight Carnival is a terrible occasion to wonder how your life has led up to this point, but Gideon finds himself doing exactly that in a rare moment of quiet both inside and outside of his mind. Quiet includes chatting with one Kremy Lecroux, of course, because that's how Gideon makes a living.
