    Summary

    'Nami's whole face hurt after the beating; she could barely chew. She had long since developed a dislike for legumes, but her teeth would still hurt for a couple of days, and that’s what was on the menu. She packed three cans of lentils in her bag before taking one of Arlong’s ships and leaving. If she took one more punch, she’d end up locked in the map room for a month, and she needed to get out of there.
    Nami didn’t like crying, but when she sailed away from Cocoyashi, the emotions she always kept tied up surfaced, tormented. She forced herself to calm down as soon as she felt her cheeks grow cold, embarrassed by a weakness she despised.
    Once she had composed herself, she grabbed her small cartography kit and studied the islands she had illustrated so far. The ones marked with crosses or circles, now blurred, spoke to her of days spent alone with paper and pen, of hidden problems and difficulties yet to be found.
    The next one, she decided as she traced a black cross on the paper with her finger, would be a small island where she could heal while meeting Arlong’s demands. Windmill Island would be perfect for that—Dawn Island.'

    Summary

    “It is hard to write a beautiful song. It is harder to write several individually beautiful songs that, when sung simultaneously, sound as a more beautiful polyphonic whole.” (John Rahn)

    In music, counterpoint is the relationship between two or more musical lines that are independent melodies, yet harmonically interdependent.

    Lan Wangji, the principal cellist in his orchestra, finds himself performing JS Bach’s Art of Fugue with a student string quartet one semester and falls in love with the ways his life intersects with that of the lead violinist.

    Wei Wuxian, a composition major, finds himself echoing that sentiment, and the story takes on some of the complexity and fascination of the music they are learning.

    Summary

    The dreaded Yiling Patriarch strode to the stern of his ghost ship, watching as the Bichen drew nearer and nearer. His black hair whipped wildly in the sea winds. He raised his saber in a mockery of a friendly gesture, and the blade flashed briefly under the midnight moon.

    “Lan Zhan,” he called. “Long time no see.”

     

    Or: navy captain Lan Wangji is sent to capture the feared pirate captain Wei Wuxian.

    Forced to come out to his parents under unexpected circumstances, he asks Han Jisung to be his pretend boyfriend. The only issue is that Han Jisung is an annoying little shit with some sort of attitude problem, who cannot seem to stand Minho in the slightest.
