    Summary

    Ancel saw the smoke in the distance a full hour before the cart slowed to a stop. It was a dark cloud in an otherwise clear winter day. He wondered how many fires there must have been to result in so much of it and shivered, huddling into his warm cloak.

    “The prince killer’s army is on the other side of the ridge, boy,” the farmer said. “If you want to get closer, you’ll have to go by foot."

    Summary

    “I told you I didn’t want to hurt you. Did you want to hurt me?” his tone was open, not a trace of accusation.

    Kabru swallowed the knee-jerk lie that formed in his throat. It burned on the way down.

    “A little,” he confessed, and it felt like falling.

    (Kabru is paranoid Laios views him as a monster, and has a very complicated way of confronting it.)

    Summary

    It had been an accident.

    All I knew was that one moment, I’d been getting torn to pieces by a raiding party breaching one of the airlocks, and in the next they’d been dead, and then ART’s full attention- nearly 100% of its processing power- had been flowing through me, and it had been probably the most fucked-up orgasm-adjacent Thing that anyone, organic or otherwise, had ever experienced.

    Not least because one of my arms had been thrown across the room seconds before it had happened.

    Summary

    “And I said something like, ‘If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you try?’”

    Quan Yizhen stood up so quickly that his chair clattered over. “Yes!” he cried, hands slammed flat on the table in his excitement. “Yes, Shixiong, that’s what you said! Did you remember?!”

    “…No, it just…” Yin Yu stammered, unprepared for that reaction. “Isn’t that a normal way to respond?” He doesn’t think that way, Xie Lian had told him. He scrambled for a better answer, gesturing for Quan Yizhen to sit back down. How did one explain sarcasm to someone like this?

    -----

    When Yin Yu returns to the world as a ghost, he’s forgotten everything about his former life. Has he been given a chance to start over again, or will the pain of the past just catch up with him?

    Summary

    Matthew figured that Endless are just Like That and getting the fuck beat out of you isn’t that big a deal to the average more-than-god-like being. Lucienne informs him that Endless are not, in fact, that indifferent to damage and the palace staff take pains to ensure their boss holds still long enough to recover.

    In which a bunch of people in Dream’s orbit notice that he’s Not Well.

    Summary

    Kinn is looking at Porsche like he’s seen a ghost.

    Porsche blinks and the haunted expression is gone, Kinn smoothing it over with something neutral, but there’s still something fragile at the edges of it, like a crystal figurine balanced on a ledge. Kinn’s body relaxes in a way that’s purposefully casual, tucking his outstretched foot back onto the bed.

    “You were in the bathroom,” Kinn says. He phrases it like an answer rather than a question.

    Or: Porsche left Kinn in their bed with nothing but a note. In the aftermath of the shootout, Kinn can't stop thinking about it.
