    Summary

    For hundreds of years, the Cloud Recesses Marine Rehabilitation Center has protected the deepest, darkest secrets of the oceans and its inhabitants. It aids them when they are sick, injured, or in need of a re-homing.

    The CRMRC isn't a stranger to dangerous marine predators. It has housed everything from the nearly extinct Great Shark Jiaoren to a simple jellyfish.

    It hasn't prepared them for the arrival of an elusive Deep-Sea Jiaoren--a creature of legends.

    Once the Jiaoren’s black tail touches the sunlight, it burns with an under-layer of red. It gleams like a warning, like hidden rubies buried in the blackened scales. With each movement, the colors ripple like ombre. The tail is long and slim, sharpened black-ombre scales and spindly fins. It’s the longest tail Lan Wangji has ever seen. The caudal fin is long and with low drag, the epitome of a predator designed to hunt.

    Blood smears across its pale skin, irritated gills cutting along the sides of its ribcage. Those silvery-blue eyes are slitted pinpricks, teeth sharp and webbed hands bloody as it pulls itself across the dock with a powerful slap of its tail.

    A Deep-Sea Jiaoren.

    Summary

    On the morning after the funeral, Madam Jin arrived at her door with a laden meal-tray; and when Qin Su let her in, she swept past her into the kitchen and began laying out an early luncheon.

    “Muqin,” Qin Su said, her voice cracking, “what are you doing here?”

    “The maids tell me that you have taken nothing since Jin Guangyao was brought back,” her mother-in-law replied. “And no wonder; who could stomach anything at a time like this?”

    “I—”

    “But you must eat, or you’ll fall ill. Come and have some porridge.”

    In which Qin Su lives to bury her husband, and her mother-in-law is not quite what she seems.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson, former vampire hunter raised by a vampire billionaire vigilante, has continued the family traditions of both his families by a) catching a vampire, and b) impromptu adopting a small child.

    Of course, adopting in this case is technically kidnapping, but since Jason is a vampire, Dick can basically legally do whatever he wants with him.

    ---

    Jason has been captured by a vampire hunter. His life is over.

    Summary

    "Now I ask again. You would change the past?”

    “I would,” Lan Wangji agreed, head beginning to spin with hope.

    She knelt at his bedside and took his hand. It felt as if gentle lightning was shooting up his arm. “Who would you have me send with you? I will include your brother."

    “Wei Ying?” he asked.

    She chuckled and it sounded as if a thousand bells were shattering around him. “Oh, yes, I suppose I’d better send him as well. Do please take better care of him this time."

    Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, Lan Xichen, and Nie Mingjue are sent back from slightly after Wei Wuxian's death. They wake up during the Sunshot Campaign. Lan Wangji is done with almost everyone.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng drinks the True Shape Serum, it has an unintended effect. In a rare moment of bad luck, his spiritual power reacts to it strangely, causing him to revert into his earliest ghostly form and lose his memories.
    Much to Nan Feng and Fu Yao’s horror, the Scrap Immortal recognizes him.

    In his eight hundred years haunting the three realms, Hua Cheng has shrugged off and crushed far stronger enchantments and curses.
    By all rights, the True Shape Serum shouldn’t work on him. It's a paltry trick, no more than an annoyance considering the vastness of his spiritual power and the breadth of his experience with spellwork. So it's hard to say why Hua Cheng’s spiritual energy reacts to it the way it does.
    Possibly, the enchantment recognizes that there's nothing he wants less in the world than to lie to His Highness now that he’s finally found him again, and seizes on this weakness.
    Perhaps it was foolish from the start, to think that he could deceive his God when his very being sang to tell him everything he knew.
