    Summary

    “I think he can’t come today!”

    Akechi startles. Embarrassing. Yoshizawa is hardly unobtrusive. The street lights of the January evening pick up the shocking red of her hair and the sparkle of her eyes. She moves like a dancer, as if every step might become a graceful leap. Strangers she passes smile to see her go. She’s full of sparkle this week; the wilting flower performance of the first half of January is all over, and she’s started tying her hair up again in what is probably—

    Akechi doesn’t care about this. Why does he still notice these things? It doesn’t matter.

     

    —probably a sincere tribute to her dead sister, rather than a tragic imitation.

     

    Spend long enough playing the detective, and some sad and pointless part of you can’t stop pretending.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    She blushes. “Well, I mean—you’re obviously very handsome, Akechi-senpai, but you’re not, um, my type, I think!”

    “Oh dear, Yoshizawa-san, you’ve hurt my feelings,” says Akechi. “Could you stop fucking calling me your senpai?”

    Summary

    “Am I a toy to you?” Flins asked out loud, the tip of a thumb pressing against his bottom lip as he spoke.

    “Say, little fae,” Rerir spoke, ignoring Flins’ question. “Do you even have a heart for me to hold in my hand?” he asked, emphasising on his question by pressing his hand harder against Flins’ chest.

    “Why don’t you find out?”

    Summary

    If you ask Rerir, he’s been blackmailed into an engagement.

    If you ask Flins, he’s finally getting everything he’s ever wanted.

    Both statements are true.

    Summary

    Every thirty years and three, the Serpent King, Poloz, claims a bride from the village. Ajax thinks his family is safe — his sisters are either married or too young. But he is wrong. After a fateful encounter in the forest with the mysterious stranger Zhongli, Ajax finds himself chosen as the Serpent's intended treasure.

    Drawn into a world of ancient contracts, magical gifts, and possessive desire, Ajax must navigate his family's expectations, his own dreams of seeing the world, and the terrifying, all-consuming attention of a god who has decided he is the only prize worth keeping.

    Summary

    “I controlled the waters like the moon with tides. I moved clouds with a thought, revealing the world in silver light or hiding it in darkness.” The dragon recites like a mantra, or poem. “I am the sea and the storm, the shore and the gust of wind. I am Yinyue-jun and Yinyue-jun is me.”

    Three pairs of eyes stare at the dragon in silence, before Stelle says, “Cool. Can you make it rain so I don't have to go to botany class today?”

    Or, undergraduate mage Dan Heng summons a very unusual familiar, and things just keep getting stranger from there.
