Summary
Stuck with a tedious job in a cramped apartment, Xie Lian has all but accepted that the only thing fate has in store for him is a mediocre life. When a sudden chance encounter sparks new warmth and colour into his days, he is naturally excited: his new friend Hua Cheng's charming company seems to be just what he has been missing so dearly.
However, as the affectionate feelings start shifting into something much more desperate and — eventually — outright painful, Xie Lian slowly realises there might be more to his and Hua Cheng's budding relationship than what meets the eye.

Summary
Jonathan Sims is deathly afraid of the world beyond the tower which he calls home. He also wants to see it with his own eyes more than he has ever wanted anything in his life.
When a nervous, oddly charming stranger from the neighboring Kingdom of the Lonely breaks in, Jon strikes a deal with him. In exchange for information, the stranger, Martin Blackwood, will escort him to the Panopticon, where Jon has been strangely drawn his whole life.
He only hopes he can make it there and back before Elias is any the wiser.

Summary
“What—what about Martin?” Jon asked her, tripping over his words in the rush to get them out. “Did his plan work, i-is Elias—is Martin alright? Elias didn’t—didn’t hurt him, or…?” He trailed off at the look on Basira’s face, not somber or serious as it had been before, but utterly confused, brows drawn, mouth pinched.
“Who’s Martin?” she asked.
—Or, Peter Lukas takes a different approach in isolating Martin from the world. He is forgotten by everyone who has ever known him. Except Jon.

Summary
As they walk to the market, Martin considers just how unfamiliar all of this is to him. It’s a rare occurrence to even hear about a celestial spirit visiting the earthly plane. He knows that the number of times he’s seen Jon, much less spoken to them, is far beyond anything in recorded history.
Because Jon is—for all intents and purposes—a star. And Martin has quite an impressive crush on them. It should maybe be terrifying, or at the very least remind him of just how very far out of his league Jon is. Instead, it’s … really quite wonderful. Jon is wonderful.
And now, Martin is going to go grocery shopping with them.
.
Or, Martin lives in a little seaside town and meets Jon, a celestial spirit with a fondness for books and human customs. He falls in love with them, even knowing that it's ill-advised and there's no way that Jon could love him in return.
... Is there?
