    Summary

    The melody gets a little clearer when he breaks out of the trees, and Jingyi changes course with certainty, barreling down the back hill and through the Cloud Recesses, dodging scandalized disciples left and right. He throws open the doors to the Receiving Hall without announcement and bows nearly double, eyes on the floor instead of on the shocked faces of the Mei delegation and the impenetrable gaze of the Chief Cultivator.

    "Forgive this disciple," Jingyi shouts, because he's going to get punished for rule breaking regardless. "From the back hill, Hanguang-jun, there is a song in the wind!"

     

     

    Lan Jingyi comes of age.

    Summary

    "And for Lan Zhan? He's not going to believe that I mentioned A-Yuan to him and he's the one who forgot about it."

    Nie Huaisang lifts his wine glass and gestures with it a little, like a sage who has given his advice and now the rest is Wei Wuxian's problem. "You're just going to have to pretend very hard. Don't let him break you."

     
    Or: The one where Wei Wuxian secretly adopts A-Yuan and when he tries to convince Lan Wangji he had a kid all along, Lan Wangji rolls with it, ups the ante, and sets off a game of chicken that digs up buried feelings that Wei Wuxian is 100% sure he's not going to act on. Okay, 90% sure.

    Summary

    Andrew has his apartment, his cat, and probably a third thing to care about. Expecting more was idiotic, but he didn’t expect to find a man breaking into his apartment who sets his whole world on fire.

    Subject: Concerning Dress Code Violation

    Wei Wuxian,

    Multiple employees have raised a concern with your attire today. Please be advised that T-shirts are not in line with our employee dress code. In particular, a T-shirt that says “Freak in the Spreadsheets” is not appropriate. I am attaching a copy of our dress code policy to this email. Read it carefully and ensure your clothing is in compliance going forward.

    Regards,
    Lan Wangji
    Director of Human Resources

    Summary

    “It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”

    “I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.

    “Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”

    With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.

    Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.
