    Summary

    "You've been doing that a lot," Stelle states it like a fact once Sunday leaves the car, book in hand. The room feels dimmer all of a sudden, and Dan Heng isn't sure why. Another thing to ponder.

    "Do what?" Dan Heng knows perfectly well what she's talking about, and he knows she knows he knows what she's talking about. Regardless, Dan Heng finds himself being evasive with no clear purpose. It feels a tiny bit strange.

    "Look at people like they're a chess game you're about to lose," They say, eyeing the actual chess game in front of them with a disgruntled expression.
    .
    .
    .
    "Also," She says, totally nonchalant. "Dan Heng has been staring at Sunday like he's a particularly delicious piece of meat."

    "Huh!?" March squeaks, her eyes wide and unblinking as she stares at her.

    "Huh?" Dan Heng echoes, willing the heat that is now slowly creeping up his neck to dissipate.

    "Huh?" Stelle blinks at them, as if they hadn't said that insane string of words.

    Or: Sunday joins the Express. Dan Heng is immediately obsessed.

    Summary

    After the actualization of the Chrysos Heirs, Anaxa jumped at the opportunity to depart on a mission amongst the stars, guided by Dan Heng. The pursuit of otherworldly knowledge was simply too difficult of a temptation to pass up, and even if his boarding was slated to be temporary, the knowledge he would gain along the way would be invaluable nonetheless. But perhaps, the real motivator was being guided by Dan Heng,a dromas-man with beauty comparable to the actual four-legged beast.
    And this dromas, Anaxa was willing to follow to wherever and whenever his curiosity lead him.

    Summary

    In no universe should he have to witness Mydei’s hand linger on Phainon’s shoulder for a moment longer than what two friends consider proper, and then watch as Mydei flexes his hand right afterwards, clearly so affected by it. Like something straight out of March’s romance novels.

    Seriously, Phainon’s eyes had softened when he looked at Mydei. Multiple times. In public! And here Caelus thought eyes could only soften in Jing Yuan fanfiction.

    Dan Heng gives him a look. “Phainon and Mydei are good friends. They’re bound to bicker every once in a while.”

    Caelus sits up, wholly indignant. “Have you seen them,” he demands.

    In which Caelus meddles.

    Summary

    “You shall be released from here one week from now and then permanently exiled from the Xianzhou Alliance—provided, of course, that we are unsuccessful in appealing General Jing Yuan’s rash and thoughtless decision to absolve a remorseless criminal of his rightful punishment.”

    Jing Yuan. Dan Heng has met him before, but only once. The general had visited him in his cell some time ago, staying only briefly and engaging in nothing more than small talk. Dan Heng cannot fathom what Jing Yuan gleaned from that meeting that might have led him to such a drastic decision as commutation.

    Even the word feels foreign as he turns it over on his tongue.

    ———

    Dan Heng’s sentence has been commuted.

    Summary

    “Would you like to give me an example of one of those fantasies?” 

    Eyes—plural, because with Boothill hovering over him Dan Heng finally has a proper view of both expressive crosshairs—widening, Boothill lets out a small strangled noise and dives down to nip the swollen flesh of Dan Heng’s lips. 

    “I had ya like this,” Boothill murmurs against his lips, hand coming off the ground to slither along Dan Heng’s side. “Laid out all pretty, with yer books surrounding you.” He skims Dan Heng’s covered hipbone and takes a detour to his lower stomach. “Made you stop thinking, took ya with nothing more than ma hand.”

    A small favour, done on the cold floor.

    Summary

    Stelle keeps falling asleep in the wrong places.

    Dan Heng keeps finding her.

    Eventually, he figures he should do something. He can't keep letting a fellow passenger sleep on the floor.

    Yeah, that's it. That's why he did it.

    Definitely didn't do it for any other reason.

    Summary

    In other words, for Dan Heng, the first “proof” that Stelle is okay—that is, without major physical or mental injuries—is the comforting warmth that radiates through her skin.

    Comforting in the sense that, even if he doesn't ask her or has time to do so, feeling her warmth reminds him that she is still there, safe and sound.

     

    A warmth that is always there.

     

    A warmth that should always be there.

     

    [Or also, the time between when Stelle finished the Oronyx's Trial and woke up in their room in front of Dan Heng.]

    Summary

    And that is what makes her chest tighten.

    Because she recognizes that look.

    It’s the one he wears when he decides something he values isn't worth anything special. 

    He doesn’t withdraw from the nest. If anything, he becomes more intent on it. Another blanket is pulled closer. Another edge is tucked in with precise, almost reverent care. His movements are slow, deliberate, as if he’s trying to compensate for something — like if he builds it well enough, carefully enough, it’ll justify itself.

    And suddenly, it looks less like a joke.

    — stelle accidentally acts a little insensitive

    Summary

    “We just need one key piece, and we can fix this.”

     

    “Dan Heng.” Stelle called again, one eye peeking out from between her messy locks. “Please...”

     

    “So come here, sit down, and help me find that missing piece.” He ordered in a firm voice, but deep down it was nothing more than a plea. “Just trust, Aeons, don't give up on your path... Don't do it before it's—”

     

    “It's too late, Dan Heng.”

     

    For a moment, there is silence. A tense, icy silence, the calm before the storm.

     

    The next instant, the table gives way under the sudden pressure, creaking and splitting in two.

     

    [Or perhaps Stelle ran out of time.]

    Summary

    It has been two months since the end of the Stellaron Crisis and the Loufu is still clearing away the dust of disarray, taking stock of all that has been lost.

    Yet, in the midst of uncertainty, the Wardance is on the nearing horizon. A time to celebrate, hold festivals, and show the galaxy that the Loufu is just as strong as the Alliance is whole.

    But there are those displeased with the General's oversight and many more still who would use this turmoil to their own advantage.

    Cloud Knights are coming up dead with nary an explanation in sight. The other war-ship Generals are due to arrive for a preliminary security meeting. And Jing Yuan suspects this is only the beginning of something else to shake up the foundation of their once long-held peace.

    After all, how best do you take down a lion, then by plucking the feathers of its favorite bird?

    “Truly, it’s beautiful.”

    “What," Boothill laughs, "my bloodlust?”

    Argenti shakes his head. “Your dedication to justice.” He reaches out to take Boothill’s hand. “You have a beautiful spirit, my friend. You awe me with every encounter.”

    Summary

    Jing Yuan smiles, inclining his head. His heart's still beating too fast, butterflies wreaking havoc within his stomach, his fist curling behind his lower back to suppress the feeling. "Of course. The Xianzhou Luofu and I are here for you always, you should know as much by now. I'm just relieved to see you all safe and sound. How long are you visiting for. . ."

    The rest of the sentence escapes him as his gaze catches on a pair of horns which protrude from a head of black hair.

    They're different from the translucent blue of those belonging to Imbibitor Lunae, carved instead from molten gold. Rays of sun catch on their surface as their owner steps closer, grown in stature so he and Jing Yuan now stand at eye-level.

    "Jing Yuan."

    Summary

    They run past the bubbling, gurgling river, past the falling leaves that swirl in dizzying circles around them, carried by the wind with their hearts pounding. Dan Heng's eyes meet Stelle's — her expression is fever-bright.

    "I told you it'd be exciting," Stelle whispers.

    ...

    The Knight and the Prince run for their freedom, away from their Destiny. They've escaped the castle. For a second Dan Heng thinks they might actually pull this off—

    Until they round a corner and he smacks right into the stomach of someone standing in their way.

    Dan Heng, second son of the King and Stelle, his loyal Knight, try and run from their Destinies.

    And then Stelle dies in battle and Dan Heng's world ends.
