    Summary

    “Anya, can you tell me where you’re from?”

    “From the orphanage, Papa. But if anyone asks, I’m from West Berlint,” she recited, just like they’d practiced months ago for her admission interview in this very room.

    Twilight shook his head. “Not our story we made up. I’m asking for the truth. Where did you live before the orphanage?”

    Summary

    “I don’t buy it,” Pete retorts. “Someone like you? Some cook from East Blue? You’re probably worth a couple hundred thousand bellies at best, maybe a million, if your captain’s somebody.”

    Sanji tilts his head back so that it rests against the dirty wall behind him. He’s still upright, somehow, through sheer stubbornness or spite. He doesn’t look like someone who only has tonight left to live.

    In fact, he looks sharp. There’s no better word for it. His expression is still as peaceable as it has been since he arrived, but watching him is like watching a knife slide out of its sheath. He is, abruptly, dangerous. A tool made for cutting.

    “If you knew where I’ve been, you would be terrified of me,” he says.

    Summary

    From the Tumblr prompt that the Yard is terrified of Watson. I think the prompt was for BBC, but I'm an ACD girly, so you get the ACD version.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen, despite the severity of his errors of judgment over the course of his life, is not a complete fool. He has been blind, yes; willfully so, at times, he will admit; has let love and optimism close his mind to potential negative consequences—yes, he will admit that too.

    But when Nie Huaisang falls off his horse and snaps his neck not three months after having come to Lan Xichen with his suspicions that Jin Guangyao had knowingly and maliciously contributed to the death of his older brother, not even Lan Xichen can pretend he does not know what has happened.

    (or: the one where Nie Huaisang becomes a Calamity)
