    Summary

    Then he takes the cigarette back, takes another drag, and exhales into Dex's mouth—not a kiss, but close. Closer than anything. "Breathe me in, baby brother."

    —A Buffalo ’66–inspired AU. Brian Moser, newly released from a psychiatric ward, kidnaps the brother who doesn’t remember him. Thirty-six hours. Roadside motels. Cigarettes. A love that rots and shines all the same.

    Summary

    [You have used a random rune piece.]
    The message popped up the moment Ryu Min clicked on the rune, activating it as though an item in a video game.
    [Congratulations! The Rune of Prophecy has been obtained!]
    [The acquired rune is automatically engraved on the player’s body!]

    Ryu Min is a Prophet – but it isn’t until the Player Black Scythe gains the title The Last Time Traveler that he realizes quite how many prophecies he has spoken.

    Or, the Prophet Ryu Min and the Regressor Black Scythe are two different people.

    Summary

    At this time of night, there are only a few especially committed customers gracing the main, lower floor of the Warm Red Pavilion. He has little worry to give to his identity being revealed. A few girls tend to the customers on the floor, smiling sweetly as they listen to their stories and sit only a little closer than propriety would typically allow. On a small stage, across the room, a young woman plays the pipa with precise, careful fingers with her delicately painted eyes downcast towards the instrument and her lips parted in concentration.

    He has never seen her here before, and for a moment Shen Jiu’s fingers twitch, itching for a brush he doesn’t have—the image she paints so picturesque he finds himself longing to immortalize it. Surely, though, if he did, she would only laugh a soft, sweet laugh, and tell him how he flatters her, all while pushing the painting back into his arms.

    Or

    Shen Jiu meets a young man at the Warm Red Pavilion, and maybe, just maybe, it changes the course of his life.

    Summary

    Shen Jiu sees out of Shen Fang's eyes. He is restless, he is dizzied—he speaks from her mouth: "I am nine."

    "No," says the grandmother. "You are two."

    "I am nine."

    "No," says the grandmother. "You are four. Get down from there."

    "I am nine."

    "No," says the grandmother. "You are six. Have you been fainting again?"

    "I am nine."

    "No," says the grandmother. "You are seven. Stop that, I know you're faking. Come along, we're going."

    "I am nine."

    Shen Yuan tilts his head, dark hair brushing the crest of his cheek. "All right, Meimei," he says. "You're nine."

    By the time Shen Fang is literally nine, she doesn't answer to Shen Fang anymore.

    Ge calls her Meimei or Ah Jiu. Nurse Zhao calls her Young Miss or brat or, sometimes, little demon. The tutors and almost all of the household staff are completely unaware that Shen Jiu isn't her given name in the first place.
