    Summary

    “Who are you?” Luo Binghe asked coldly.

    Shen Yuan wanted to bury himself in the dirt. He couldn’t have made a bigger fool of himself.

    “I- This one is Shen Yuan, Lord Luo,” he hastily responded, dropping into a low bow to properly greet the emperor. Even after seven years in the palace, Shen Yuan still struggled with the formal speech of scholars and nobility.

    “Shen…” Luo Binghe whispered.

    Shen Yuan winced. Of course, Luo Binghe wouldn’t know who he was by name alone.

    “This one is Lord Luo’s fifth husband,” Shen Yuan answered.

    ---
    Or, Shen Yuan wants life to feel like an adventure, Luo Bingge wants someone to truly love him, and a magical road-trip will somehow solve both of their problems

    Summary

    marriage /ˈmarɪdʒ/
    noun
    1. the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship
    2. a combination or mixture of elements.

    Jedi don’t get married, a word like that could never describe what bonds them together.

    Or, five times Obi-Wan and Anakin show how devoted they are to each other, and one time somebody demands proof and they are insulted.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan starts to hide his braid in the tenth month since the birth of the Empire. He pins it behind the ear every morning, because he can't stand the pitiful looks the newcomers throw his way.
    It's understandable.
    They think his Master is dead. They think he mourns, clings to a promise that would never be fulfilled. They think he is just one of the many padawans, orphaned in this devastating massacre.
    He sometimes wishes it was the truth.

    His Master, however, is not dead. His Master is alive and he is the Sith that started it all.
    But Obi-Wan can't bring himself to denounce him even after holding the cold corpses of his younger brothers and sisters.
    Anakin Skywalker was once everything to him. And Obi-Wan is ashamed to admit that he still is.

    Summary

    Yaga levels them all with a look. "You're being reassigned."

    Shoko sighs. Oh boy.

    Twin scrapes can be heard as Satoru and Suguru leap up, voices overlapping in protest.

    or, Satoru and Suguru get separate assignments; this is widely considered a bad move

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua would have it be known that weird dreams mean nothing to him, he's been stress-dreaming for years, so he didn't expect that day to be different from any other day as head disciple of An Ding Peak! At least not until he was introduced to his fellow scum villain for the first time.

    (Shen Jiu knew it as the day everything finally changed for him.)
