    Summary

    “Of course I love you as my father too. We can fuck our way through Dagor-Dagorath and I probably still will. It’s in our nature. We construct elaborate philosophies to justify our continued proximity to what should repel us. We fear that exile from the place that houses our pain may well mean exile from the only place that understands it,” Elrond shrugs, topping up Maedhros’ glass. “What begins as temporary coexistence turns into structure, and structure eventually gets mistaken for inevitability. Love grew, we say, as little might be thought. It is much the same now. We tell ourselves we've transcended, that our presence here, together and redeemed, represents evolution rather than a lack of alternatives. Aman offers me no exit from Middle-Earth, only a deeper room in the same house. With only squatter’s rights to boot.”

    Elrond arrives in Aman, finds that Elwing, Maglor and Celebrían have been intimate for centuries, seeks sexual solace with Maedhros, and ends up navigating the waters between endurance and complicity. Or: what do the children of atrocity owe those who perpetrated it, and what happens when survival becomes indistinguishable from desire?

    Summary

    Six months before the ascension of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect’s current Peak Lords, the System mysteriously glitches. This definitely has nothing to do with the recent pollen-fueled mission detour that Shang Qinghua can’t remember.

    Right? Right?

    Summary

    She hadn't really been his sister. He hadn't really been her brother, either.

    But they had been something.

    Astarion and Violet and Violet's death.

    Summary

    It’s as Shen Qingqiu crushes the last little fluttering Iridescent Gem Beetle that the mother decides to introduce herself by burrowing up out of the earth like a cicada the size of an elephant. He just barely has time to resign himself to an even more exhausting fight than the last one - with no rest point in between to chug stamina potions or anything! Honestly, what poor game design! - when the stranger appears.

    He charges into the scene out of nowhere like an absolute bullshit deus ex machina, all dark, flowing hair and robes, whirling around to stab at the Mother Beetle with a gleaming white sword, making it screech and rear back in pain. Seriously, Shen Qingqiu feels like he’s suddenly trapped in a video game cutscene introducing the new companion! Where’s the background music and camera close up? Who is this guy?

    -

    Shen Qingqiu happens to meet a mysterious stranger on the road, but he surely isn't important or relevant to the plot in the slightest.
