Summary
“I don’t remember!” He Xuan tries to yank his arm back, but Crimson Rain has always been stronger than him. Braver. Crimson Rain wears chains on his boots so people hear him coming. He doesn’t hide behind vacant expressions and stolen powers. Crimson Rain knows who he is.
“What, Hei Shui? I’ll help you remember. I always remember everything important.” Hua Cheng’s words come out in a rush that don’t suit his usual cadence, but He Xuan can’t be bothered to think about why.
“I don’t remember my face.”

Summary
“After returning, you saw me first?” Xie Lian asks once they are far enough apart to allow for speech.
What a very strange question. “I- yes.”
Xie Lian drops his head to rest on Hua Cheng’s shoulder. “Then I’m being selfish. There are other people who missed you.”
There is exactly one other person who may have missed Hua Cheng, and he hasn’t called. “Gege flatters me. I am not so well liked.”
“But you are.” Xie Lian implores, face still hidden.
What a very strange thing to insist.
“Gege’s affection is enough for me,” Hua Cheng tries, and he speaks enough honey into the words that it almost covers the bitterness he’s carried in his throat since a first fated encounter with a shadow of a man in a seaside cave, all those centuries ago.

Summary
“I spent twelve years on Mount Tonglu,” He Xuan says.
“Did you know San Lang then?”
“No.” And it’s strange to think about, the version of himself who was dead but still young, who was a ghost but not a spy, who knew Xue Yu Tan Hua by reputation but not by heart. And then an even stranger revelation. “I met you first, I suppose.”
Xie Lian looks at him blankly for a moment, then realizes. “Ah. If only I’d been there to mark the occasion.”

Summary
It’s a good hand. Not the best hand he could have, not the best he’s had tonight, but Hua Cheng knows his odds, and he wants.
“How about an hour of the loser’s time? For the winner to do what he likes with.” Hua Cheng slides another million into the pot, because never once has he settled for less than he knows he can take.
“One is lonely.” The stranger moves his chips to the center to match, fingers moving syrupy slow. “Three.”
“Three,” Hua Cheng agrees, and the stranger’s answering smile burns more than all the whisky Hua Cheng's had tonight.

Summary
“I’m sorry for your loss, Xie Lian,” He Xuan says. He’d been sorry since the first time he saw the demon Xie Lian wore wrapped around his neck. And before, when he felt the vast chasm of Hua Cheng’s grief and found it spiraling around just one person, he’d been sorry.
Incomprehensibly, this admission prompts Xie Lian to lean forward and press his lips to He Xuan’s.
This is a dilemma.

Summary
Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
"Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
"Your Highness."
"Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
"It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.

Summary
“I’ll help,” Lan Wangji says.
“Hey, Lan Zhan...” Wei Wuxian unfolds his leg and gives his foot a playful kick. “I told you to think about it! This means I’d be here for a long time, taking up your time, your space, your peace. And I can’t pay you! I have nothing of worth to give. It isn’t as simple as-”
“I’ll do it,” he says again, more forcefully this time. “You don’t have to give me anything.”
Wei Wuxian looks away, hiding a small smile. Doesn’t he know Lan Wangji would do anything for him, by now? Doesn’t he understand that he holds Lan Wangji’s life in his hands?
-
Post-CQL Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses to ask for Lan Wangji's help with his new golden core.
Together, they learn how to communicate, how to ask for things, and how to touch each other.Their relationship develops in between quiet dinners in the Jingshi, meditation sessions, core training and a lot of Lan Juniors speculation on whether or not they're actually together yet.
