    Summary

    ‘You have three hours.’

    Stratt’s words echo in Ryland’s head. He is huddled on top of a building surrounded by satellite dishes, curling up as small as he can make himself, legs pulled up to his chest, arms slung around them, head buried in his knees. He must look pretty pathetic but no one will see him up here and even if they did, he’s kind of over it. They just asked him to die, he deserves a bit of a mental breakdown, thank you very much.

    Or

    Three times Ryland Grace wasn't given enough time to think about where he wants to go and one time he was given all the time in the world.

    Summary

    All of a sudden Len stops chirping and holds up a claw instead. It is something Teacher Grace does all the time during lessons to get their attention and the group instinctively falls silent at the sign.

    It’s only then that they notice it.

    The silence.

    Teacher Grace hasn’t moved at all.

    ***********

    Sam breaks a rule, Quinn is insufferable, Len is the voice of reason and Tori is just along for the ride.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    Amidst the blood-soaked battlefields of the Sunshot Campaign, Lan Wangji is haunted by relentless, terrifying dreams of Wei Wuxian dying, stripped of his golden core and drowning in his own dark power. Pushed to the breaking point by Wei Wuxian’s reckless self-destruction and stubborn deflections, Lan Wangji stops asking for permission. He stops standing behind the line Wei Wuxian drew.

    Discovering a dormant, unyielding dominance within himself, Lan Wangji makes a choice: the only way to tether the Yiling Patriarch to the mortal realm is to bind him completely. He will tear away Wei Wuxian's destructive autonomy and command his survival, even if it means crossing every moral boundary Gusu Lan ever taught him.

    And Wei Wuxian, secretly coreless, exhausted, and desperately fighting a losing battle for control, finds himself cornered by a terrifyingly authoritative Hanguang-jun. He expects to fight it. He doesn't expect the overwhelming, intoxicating relief that comes with finally dropping to his knees and surrendering the heavy crown of control.

    Or:

    Lan Wangji embraces his Dom nature to forcefully save a dying Yiling Patriarch, and Wei Wuxian discovers the profound peace of giving in.
