    Summary

    It had been a mistake. Xuē Yáng hadn't intended for Xiǎo Xīngchén to break. That wasn't part of the game. That wasn't fun.
    *
    After using an impulsive and dangerous technique to save Xiǎo Xīngchén's life, nearly at the cost of his own, Xuē Yáng embarks on a road he'd never thought he'd walk. He and Xiǎo Xīngchén were meant to be together, obviously, but the dark had proven too suffocating for Xiǎo Xīngchén to survive (red on white, red on white, bad thought, bad thought), so obviously Xuē Yáng had to step into the light. Being good couldn't be that difficult. Idiots managed it every day, and they didn't even have Xiǎo Xīngchén's delighted laughter to look forwards to.

    Summary

    “Twirl for me, Juno.”

    “I’ll do it if you close your eyes.”

    Nureyev takes his hand and makes Juno twirl. The rainbow skirts of a summer dress flare, a yellow cardigan snapping about him, his gold sandals flashing. The effect is of a rainbow octopus flashing its warning colours on the end of Nureyev’s arm.

    Nureyev catches Juno by the waist “You look splendid.”

    “I look like I run a mommy-blog.”

    “I think that’s the point, Juno.”

     

    Juno Steel is a lot of things. A happy home-maker ain't one of them, but hey, how hard can it be to play nice for a bit, especially if it means uncovering a source of the cure-mother? Except it's not that simple because nothing ever is in Juno's life. Suddenly he and his family are poised on the verge of an intergalactic conspiracy that pits Juno against old friends and enemies, while the fate of a dying species hangs in the balance.
    Also some furby nightmare fell out of the vents and Vespa won't let them put it back to the woods.

    Summary

    After being arrested for crimes he didn't commit and grievously wounded, Dr. Frederick Chilton isn't quite the same. His career, his house, his expensive possessions; he no longer feels anything for them even as he furiously holds on to them out of habit or spite. He finally begins to feel like himself again when he steps away from the world of the psychotic and back into regular private practice with just one patient, someone he might actually be able to help for once.

    But even with Hannibal's recent surrender and incarceration, there is no rest for the BAU or the city of Baltimore. Someone is targeting the blood relatives of past serial-killers and leaving them as horrific displays of righteous punishment. When the killer shows that even children are not out of bounds, Will Graham returns to hunt him down. In a cruel twist, he may have to seek help from the last person in the world who wants to see him, the man he betrayed and almost killed with a phone call.

    Summary

    Liwen Shao is the very model of poise and property, wakes at 5 every morning for an hour of yoga before eating exactly twelve almonds and some fruit for breakfast, doesn't eat anything that has been fried and definitely keeps things professional with her coworkers.

    Of course, some rules go out the fucking window when you save the world, so while Liwen is shakily enjoying a cheeseburger, she also allows Doctor Gottlieb to steal her fries.

    Summary

    You needle him because you don’t know how to not. You push him and you keep pushing, and, to your entirely hidden delight, he pushes you right back. He pushes you so hard that your head is spinning, and for the first time in your life you’re scrambling to keep up. It’s never happened to you before, this push-pull of constant snarling, and you love it, you’re drunk on it, you never want it to stop. He hates your tattoos, your t-shirts, that you play The Clash at 3am and that you leave dogeared William Gibson novels all over the lab, regardless of what is beneath them or whether you’re even reading them at the time. He hates you, so thoroughly, so viscerally, that it almost hurts, but he sees you, and when he hates you his hate encompasses all that you are and have the potential to be.
