    Summary

    The note had been short, blunt, and accompanied by a lock of Dora’s dark hair. It demanded Cliopher’s presence, alone, under a certain tree in the Palace gardens, before the first hour of the morning. He was to bring his seals of office.

    There had been some argument, of course. Cliopher had overruled it.

    Summary

    Fitzroy is delighted when he catches Kip confusing an ordinary crow for his corvid form - until, that is, he hears the confession that Kip feels safer sharing with his beloved wearing feathers.

    How did they misunderstand one another so completely, in that conversation on the vaha?

    And where will opening their hearts take them together?

    (Title, of course, from "And so it goes" by Billy Joel.)

    Summary

    The Yiling Patriarch is a living legend—a terrifying, ancient force of nature, dispensing punishment or reward with implacable, indifferent fairness.

    Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is a weird but oddly charming guy who wanders around the cultivation world making fun of people's art and mooching food from sect leaders.

    It really upsets people to find out that they're the same person.

    Summary

    “Your robes are very beautifully made,” Xie Yun says honestly, doing his best to speak the same dialect and choosing not to mention any of the horny thoughts he’s currently having.

    The being gives him a withering look. “Did you summon me to compliment my robes?”

    Xie Yun blinks. “No?” he offers, feeling very wrong-footed, which is not a way he’s used to feeling.

    The being straightens their shoulders and nods. “Who do you want me to kill, then?”

    Okay, that is a pretty significant escalation. “No one?” Xie Yun tries.

    The being frowns at him. “Then what did you summon me for?”

    Xie Yun decides that having this conversation while lying propped on his elbows on the floor is undignified, and he pushes up to sitting. “Pardon me, honored guest, but I didn’t summon you.”

    Or: Xie Yun accidentally summons a demon, and gets way more than he bargained for... but not in a bad way.
