    Summary

    ​It was all over the news: Lemurian Washed Up On Beach, No Longer Extinct?

    Footage from newscasters and phones flooded the internet. The breaking news was printed out and sold on every street corner, drawing the attention of people on their daily commute. Some thought it was an elaborate hoax; an animatronic or something, covered in silicone skin and scales.

    Sylus knows it's real. He recognized the creature from a year ago, from his strange night fishing escapade. He couldn't find a good angle of their face, but those scales are recognizable. He can still feel the force of that tail against his ribs some days, especially after a hard workout.

    He also knows the disgusting leech that rammed the van and stole it. The opportunist that called for a once-in-a-lifetime auction across every black market.

    Sylus has no intention of allowing anyone else to buy them.

    Summary

    “Well,” he said, voice low, unreadable, almost teasing. “This is a surprise.”

    You swallowed the knot in your throat and turned around, not because you wanted to face him—but because the weight of his presence demanded it.

    “Not really,” you tried to sound breezy. Light. Detached. “I was just dropping something off—”

    Click.

    The sound of the lock sliding into place was too deliberate. Too calm.

    Zayne shrugged off his lab coat. The stark white fabric fell in slow motion over the back of the chair, and then he rolled his shoulders—tight, tired, tense. You watched his fingers unbutton his cuffs, rolling up his sleeves slowly, with practiced ease.

    Curtains drawn. Room dimming. Silence folding over itself.

    “I sincerely hope,” he murmured as he walked toward you, past you, pulling each curtain shut until the room felt private, secretive—dangerous, “it’s not another envelope.”

    OR

    An arranged marriage built on silence unravels into a love loud enough to echo—where a repressed heart finally claims what was always his.

    Summary

    A while passes before Lan Qiren allows him to rise from his bow of repentance. The whorls in the wooden floor are his childhood friends, punishment upon punishment served in their company. They try their best to soothe the churning in his gut.

    “You have been bestowed an honour like no other. You are the chosen disciple.” Lan Qiren retrieves something from behind his desk and passes it to him. Heavy and cold, Lan Wangji grips the object with both hands, and then startles when he sees that he has been handed a sword. A disciple is not permitted to wield weapons, even the tools they work with must always remain blunt and dull. And yet here he is holding a sword, heavy with spiritual power.

    “The fate of the Cloud Recesses lies on your shoulders. Let the heavens down and eternal damnation shall await you.”

    ———

    The Cloud Recesses is a place of silence and virtue, of righteous victory and truth.

    But something ancient and indestructible lurks just beyond these four noiseless marble walls. A force so evil it cannot be named. And it threatens to destroy everything Lan Wangji knows, everything he believes to be right and true.

    Because sometimes love is something that can grow quietly, thorns and all.

    Or alternatively, eight times that Sylus falls in love, and the one time he actually says it out loud
