Summary
“There are names we call people who sleep their way up the ladder. But there are names we call the people who promote them, too.”
Geshu Lin flicks a glance his way, derisive. “Do you really think that bothers me?”
“Not everyone is like you, General.”
——————
Jiyan tries to make a difference, he really does, but lately he’s been getting the feeling that the General mostly just wants him on his knees.

Summary
Jiyan shakes his head. “How can you just- reduce them to numbers like that?” His tone is tinged with misery. “I could never just forget who they were. I can’t do that.”
“Then you will continue to bear the weight of their memory upon yourself,” Geshu Lin says, brutally. “And I don’t think you’re strong enough for that yet.”
———
To be a medic in wartime is hard. To have blood on your hands from your command is, somehow, harder.
Jiyan cracks. Geshu Lin, surprisingly, helps (as much as he is able to).

Summary
“I see,” Jiyan says carefully, like Geshu Lin hadn’t just abruptly inserted a third dimension into the strange dynamic between them, something else apart from superior officer and no-strings-attached sex. “A social event. In an official capacity.”
“You’re free to leave if you wish,” Geshu Lin replies curtly, and this time he fishes another cigarette from the inside pocket of his suit jacket, the motion distracted, like he’s not totally aware of it. Ah, Jiyan thinks, he’s really stressed.
————
Out of the many duties of Jinzhou’s General, the task of navigating mandatory social events is particularly onerous.
But misery loves company, as Jiyan finds out.
or: geshu lin and jiyan attend a fundraising gala for the midnight rangers.

Summary
It’s him.
Of course it’s him, Jiyan thinks to himself. Of course of all the people we’ve lost, he’d be the only one too stubborn to die.

Geshu Lin, against all odds, comes back.
His Forte doesn’t.
