Summary
“You’re being mean, gege,” you get out, trying to hold back a whimper.
Caleb withdraws from you, and for a second, you think it’s over. But then, in a swift motion, he has you turned around, your back pressing against him. “It’s rich, coming from you, pips. You break up with me,” he continues, “tell me we should just be friends, and then stand here, grinding on my leg like a little slut.”

Summary
Tingyun’s recovery proceeds in careful increments, measured not by days but by thresholds.
And throughout it all, there is something steady about Ruan Mei’s presence, measured and controlled, untouched by the distortions that ripple at the edge of Tingyun’s perceptions. When everything else slips, Ruan Mei remains exact.

Summary
There is a beggar in your heart, you decide, that starves after even the smallest scraps of affection.
It is humiliating to know this about yourself, worse to feel how easily Caleb feeds it without even trying.

Summary
“You are false-throated,” the dragon observes. Each word bellows out of its throat in deep rumblings that somehow loop themselves into things of meaning in Maren’s ears. “You are a thief of Words made of wing and sky and flame.”
“I did not ask for them,” Maren says, her breath shivering and shaking. “I have not asked for many things in life that I was given.”

Summary
the ghosts of the past continue to haunt her.

Bookmarker's Notes
She washes her hands, running them beneath water that turns pink with promised beginnings. The foam lathers but no matter how hard she scrubs, the stains never quite go away; they burrow into muscle and sinew and settle in the crevices of her veins. Her heart beats, her conscience bleeds into shadow. Her blood turns dark as ink.
this is one of my favorite quotes because it's just so lyrical -- the perfect balance between introspective and horrific, loved it

impulsively read this without knowing anything about mononoke or onmyoji and was utterly floored by how beautiful this was. i immediately went to go watch mononoke and downloaded onmyoji, came back to re-read this, and fell even more in love with how incredible this fic was, down to the smallest details. would happily re-read over and over again (and already have)

Summary
“At least.” Eydis murmurs, “At least you have a cause. I have none, beyond my own death. This whole farce is utterly selfish.”
“I’m starting to think mine own might be as well.”
Ysayle rolls over on her side and props her head up on her hand, studying Eydis in the low light that’s starting to seep through the tent walls. The colors have not yet been returned to the world and the monochrome makes nothing feel real as Eydis opens her mouth and bleeds from it.
The Warrior of Light's Echo allows her to see the death of an individual before it comes to pass. She wishes Ysayle Dangoulain was the exception.

“She’s a murderer,” Estinien spits and Eydis feels something warm in her chest, thinking so am I.

Summary
What are you thinking? Gechen had asked Guizhong, placing a careful hand on her cheek. Her skin had felt paper-thin, as soft as glaze lily petals, as fragile.
Guizhong had leaned into the touch, closing her eyes. That nothing ever lasts, she murmured. Especially not when predicated upon dust.
The night before.

“I am afraid of this war, and I am afraid of the future.”
“Then I will protect you,” Gechen vows. “My spear, my zither, they are yours. Do you believe me?”this made me so emotional, the tenderness is so delicate yet well-balanced
