    Summary

    ‘And Kaiser -

    He doesn’t believe in god. Not the one that his namesake led an army of angels in devotion for, and not whatever they’re worshipping here.

    But maybe he believes in something. Maybe he has to, because he’d brought Yoichi Isagi into his life like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Calling him by his name, his first name, so absorbed in his arrogance that he’d not noticed nor cared that not even his close friends called him by it.

    Yoichi. The best in the world, that’s one way to put it, and he couldn’t have been blamed for not knowing, not understanding what he was speaking into existence every time he spoke it.

    But also, the first.

    And now, name whittled and weathered and worn down until it’s familiar against his tongue over the years he’s called it, the texture of it changed, it sounds different too. Just like his does against Isagi’s, eroded over time until the harsh edges softened, said like a gift.

    Said like it’s his.’

    Summary

    To be with Eren was to see him in the early morning light with a detached expression as he stared at a blank wall. It was to hear him muttering to himself and being confused by his surroundings and himself. It was standing guard while Eren hurt himself over and over again, creating a monster around himself and pushing himself until he was puking blood.To be with Eren was to run fingers through his lengthening hair, to tease lips over the burned marks etched into his face. It was cutting off his limbs to test heal rates under all manner of situations. It was sitting through long meetings with serpent-tongued individuals and burying his desire to kill them for their ignorance.

    It was to know that the smooth flawless writhing body under his scarred hands was capable of so much destruction, and that it was solely kept at bay by the young man's will power.

    Summary

    His father says he got it from his mother.

    His mother says “nonsense, that’s from your father’s side”. She also says “whoever disagrees is a fool” and “that applies to the man I married”.

    The fact that Wei Wuxian takes to people easily is one out of many his parents love arguing about – but the way his parents argue, which is nothing like other people. They do it with a suspicious lack of heat, balanced by an equally suspicious abundance of lengthy looks (his father’s) and teasing smiles (his mother’s). They rarely seem to care what the argument is about. They do seem to enjoy the arguing very much.

    Wei Wuxian is thirteen, and in the newfound wisdom of his years, he finds there’s a growing number of unfortunate facts about adults, especially parents, he’d rather go back to not knowing. Although he does, as a matter of fact, agree with them he takes to people easily.

    Until he comes home one late afternoon, and finds his father with a grey-eyed stranger in long black and red robes.

    Summary

    "Congratulations," he tapped the stack of papers containing the reform project, "that is splendidly done. I have some comments which we will go through today, but all in all, you have done a very good job."
    “Has His Highness stayed awake all night to read it?” Lan Wangji asked blandly and Wei Wuxian would have half a mind to ask him for some poker face advice if only he wasn’t so surprised by the correct assessment.
    “Dare I ask how young master Lan has come to this conclusion?”
    “His Highness looks tired,” Lan Wangji commented, “I will be honored to discuss my reform proposal. However, perhaps first His Highness might like to go to the gardens to rest after all.”

    Wei Wuxian, the last Emperor of the realm torn apart by a magical cataclysm, considers it his duty to fix the broken magic of the world. As long as he can help people, he will find a way to be content in the golden cage that is his court. However, his new secretary Lan Wangji decides that this is simply not acceptable. And so, the most brilliant political mind of the century sets out to support his Emperor not only in making the world a better place but in fighting for his freedom as well.

    Summary

    “Young Master Wèi,” the healer tells him, “I’m afraid to say that you’ve been cursed.”

    He laughs, it’s not exactly the first time that has happened, “Is that it? What kind of curse is it?”

    “It’s a lover’s curse.”

    “A lover’s curse? That’s ridiculous! It’s not like I’ve ever...” He falters a bit, “I mean, I don’t see how that could apply to me.”

    The look she gives him is pitying, “It’s not that kind of lover’s curse, Young Master Wèi. This curse… It only affects people who suffer from one-sided love.”

    Summary

    They’re halfway back to the Cloud Recesses when Wei Wuxian, still deep in the throes of amusement at the ridiculousness of the night’s events, remembers, “wait, A-Yuan! Had you known that you had been kidnapped to be a lure for Lan Zhan?”

    At least Sizhui can draw a modicum of comfort from seeing the venerable HanGuang-Jun look as embarrassed as Sizhui feels.

    In which there's swordplay and sex, in precisely that order.
