    Summary

    He moved through life in gradients of silence. Grocery stores made his head ache with light, voices, unpredictable chatter. Department meetings left him sweating under his shirt though the air conditioning blasted. When he spoke, people blinked—too honest, too fast, too much. His colleagues described him as brilliant but strange. Yuanzhou didn’t mind. He had his whiteboard markers, his research, and a small corner of the university where everything obeyed physical law. Physics was the only world where he didn’t have to guess what people meant.

    Summary

    You want to hear me play. Gao Jianli realises. You want to dip your fingers in my grief and sample it like a fine wine. He feels wild. Like a man-eater. He wants to tear out the king's throat with his own teeth.

    A series of vignettes based on the Emperor's Shadow.

    Summary

    The Guy grunted. He screwed up his face against Sydney’s summer sun streaming in through the window, pressed his palms to his eyes, and then shook out his hair. His eyes blinked open, slow mo, lashes batting.

    “Oh hey, so you’re Zuko?” He yawned, then grinned. He had a fucking accent. Zuko was gonna bite something apart. “I’m Sokka. I’ll be the top to your lion bottom.”

    Sifu Piandao has called in an old student of his to help pull this year’s lion dance together, after Zuko’s usual partner Aang took off to “find himself” in Nepal. Zuko’s worked with Piandao for years, he’s a professional. No matter how annoying the new guy is, he’s going to keep it together for the sake of the festivities, and not at all get distracted by his partner’s… assets.

    Three great demons challenge each other in a race across the rocky shores of the Wilderness. More precisely, Zhuo Yichen and Li Lun race each other, and Zhao Yuanzhou judges who is faster, only that he doesn’t take his job very seriously. To even have the slightest chance at winning, Zhuo Yichen and Li Lun must work together.

    Summary

    Zhuo Yichen is just shy of his fifteenth birthday when he first meets Zhao Yuanzhou and Li Lun. He feels every second of the six years of age between them as he stutters out his name. He catches sight of Li Lun’s slight smirk at the hiccup and looks down, shaking his hair over his reddening ears. A hand is proffered to him and he takes it. He thinks Zhao Yuanzhou notices the slight tremor in his fingertips because his eyes crinkle knowingly as they exchange introductions.
    Zhao Yuanzhou’s smile is warm and gentle in the way Li Lun’s isn’t.

    Zhuo Yichen is young and wants someone he cannot have. Li Lun is older and provides a good enough distraction.
