    Summary

    She could pick out her son’s stubborn, focused stance, and not far away, the whirlwind of unrestrained energy that was Wei Ying, recently dubbed Wei Wuxian, making the same forms look like a wild dance.

    Another disciple made a misstep, tumbling into Wei Wuxian next to him. The two went down in a rambunctious cacophony of yells and laughter, a heap of growing, awkward limbs.

    A small, sharp breath escaped Yu Ziyuan—not quite a laugh, not quite a sigh. She did not turn from the window.

    “A foundation,” she echoed, her voice low. “Or a pyre. You see the light he casts. I see the shadows it attracts. You think you are building him a fortress. You are painting a target on his back and handing our son the bow.”

     

    Or, what if Yu Ziyuan was a bit more of a responsible adult?

    Summary


    Wèi Yīng's lips, pressed together by the silencing spell, eyes wide open in shock, then wonder, then deep, profound, overwhelming desire. His exposed throat struggling under the onslaught of moans and whimpers while Lán Zhàn played him like a qin with his skilled fingers.

    Only this time there was no joy behind the muffled cries. There was sorrow. Pain. Fear.

    “No.” Wàngjī shook his head to chase the sound away. Long strands of unbound hair fell onto his face in a soft caress, brushing against his cold cheek and sticking to skin damp with tears. “Impossible.”


    In this fic: lots of pain. Lots of healing from trauma past and recent. Lots of love and comfort. All with a side dish of revenge... served cold, with a little bit of help from good friends.

    Summary

    The ship's horn sounded again, loud, washing through the air like a tangible thing he could grab if he tried hard enough, and another shiver wracked his body, involuntary and painful. The relief he felt was overwhelmed by the reminder he still had to sit in this squalid boat until his rescue.

    He heard a contemplative noise from behind him that he had learned a while ago meant Sebastian was assessing his health.

    "Here, young master," Sebastian said quietly, wrapping the wool coat on his shoulders tighter, as if that could help, as if he wasn't still just as wet as before. When Sebastian pulled his hand away, Ciel was dismayed to find himself automatically leaning with it, chasing the contact.

    It had been a rough night. He hadn't slept yet. He doubted it meant anything.


    Ciel and Sebastian, in the aftermath of the Campania's sinking, in the day after being rescued.

    Summary

    A girl. A woman. A man. The string that binds them all together.

    Blood. Love. Death. Life. The noose around their neck pulls tight.

    Or

    A story wherein a woman is reborn as Sakura’s estranged older sister and does her best to avoid anyone even slightly related to the Plot.

    This is the story of how that plan fails. Badly. And often.
