Summary
They all watch her. The warlords, Nezha, Kitay.
She knows what he’s doing, convincing the table that the speerly isn’t a savage, isn’t the animal-like being that they were taught she was.
She hates it that he uses the only thing she’s actually proud of to send his message.Before she was “the last speerly”, before she watched Altan go from flesh and bone to ashes, before she even met Master Jiang, she was Fang Runin, Erhu apprentice, future master of her craft.
She had something, she was someone.or: rin actually knows how be someone that isn’t a soldier. but history moves in such vicious circles and somehow this changes nothing and everything

Summary
“You want the truth? Fine.”
Kitay took a deep breath.
“Your combat skills are pitiful, your battle strategies are ludicrous, your fighting stance and the way you hold your sword? Awful. That man-bun of yours makes you look like a child, which is funny, given that beard already makes you look like you're fifty. And, of course, your head is too big for your body. Everything about you looks like it’s misplaced.” He said it all in one breath, grinning as Souji’s eyes went wider.All Nezha could do was stare, completely dumbfounded.
He was too curious to leave, but too scared of Kitay to say something.or: Nezha learns a couple things about Rin as he’s sent to the Second Division with Kitay for their fifth year assignment and with that, he finds that he can’t ignore how drawn he is to her anymore. Now, he can only hope that his new fragile friendship with her is enough.

Summary
Her gaze wandered to the sea ahead of them.
“But the fire destroys and shatters everything around it. It would always be a corrupted image of my soul, but it would never be able to translate feelings words can not describe.”His face lifted up, an idea popping in his head.
“Show me your soul and I’ll show you mine. You can talk about music and I’ll tell you about my favorite thing in the world.”
“Is it boats?”
It’s you.
“Yeah.”

Summary
He's started coughing up flower petals, pale pink tinged bright red with his own blood. He was confused for just a split second before the panic broke through.
His last thought before he passed out was that he was completely and utterly fucked.

Summary
The girl with the lyrical, foreign name, Mai-rin-en, sniffs – a tiny, pathetic sound, the first she’d made. Her head lifts, just enough to raise her swollen, bloodshot eyes to his father, and for the first time, Nezha can make out a sign of life within the broken girl.
Her large eyes shine with emotion like a polished obsidian stone. “I want to go home.”
The loneliness of this girl is incomprehensible to six-year-old Nezha.
But when he looks at Mai’rinnen, he feels like he’s drowning alongside her.
~~~~~
Six-year-old Mai'rinnen is the only survivor of her peoples' genocide, half a decade later than it should have happened. She finds herself dragged away to a strange land, to be raised amongst cold foreigners until she can be useful to them, struggling to handle the grief and horror she experienced at such a young age.
She grows up. The cruel, hard world continues to drench her in its freezing waters.
It is only the kindness of another hurting, precious soul, that helps her find her warmth again.

Summary
'I can help you.'
Four simple words, and yet they would prove to be the most influential ever whispered in the streets of Ketterdam when a desperate young woman decided to take her chances to improve her fate. Those four words would spawn a partnership that would go down in legend amongst the Kerch, that of Dirtyhands and his Wraith. But beneath hardened exteriors forged by Ketterdam herself and walls built up by pasts many would never recover from, two lost souls may find themselves uniting and healing or crumbling into nothing.
And it all started with those four words.
