    Summary

    “Binghe is hard?” Shen Yuan asks, as if that isn’t the natural consequence of what he’d been doing. He blinks guilelessly at the bulge in his friend’s pants, noticeable even in the dark of his apartment.

    Binghe tenses. “A-Ah. That, um— That’s just something that…happens when…”

    He trails off, squirming a bit. Shen Yuan, in his infinite wisdom, assumes that what Binghe means is this is something that happens when he’s drunk, rather than it being a direct result of Shen Yuan’s attentions. His line of thought is that it would add more context to the fact that Binghe hardly drinks much. After all, dealing with an erection every time you drink sounds pretty inconvenient! Furthermore, in said infinite wisdom, Shen Yuan decides that the best way to respond is, “I’ll help you.”

    After a night sipping strange cocktails with unfamiliar ingredients, Shen Yuan finds himself with his inhibitions and impulse control practically nonexistent.

    An equally drunk Luo Binghe thinks he’s died and gone to heaven.

    Summary

    On the desk in between Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu was a printout of the email. Shen Qingqiu refused to look at it. If he tried very hard, he could pretend it wasn’t there. When the email had hit his inbox this morning, Shen Qingqiu had read it and reread enough to have it memorized, as he tried to comprehend the meaning of these words arranged in this order. The second that comprehension dawned upon him, he’d deleted the email then promptly tried to forget everything about it.

    He wasn’t being very successful on that front.

    The message, written with the extraordinary eloquence that Shen Qingqiu knew Luo Binghe was capable of, had been sent en masse to the entire faculty and student body. It stated two main points. Firstly, that Luo Binghe attested that Shen Qingqiu had never slept with, assaulted, molested, groomed, or was in any way inappropriate to him during his time at Cang Qiong Academy (thanks for the endorsement, Binghe!!). Secondly, that Luo Binghe was announcing this because he intended to marry Shen Qingqiu and did not want even the whisper of false impropriety to stain his Shizun’s name.

    Summary

    Knives finds a blade-bright smile to ward against a rising tide of fury, hunger, love—the urge to take and take and take, when what he really wants is for Vash to give in. He says, “Never? Rude of you to leave me with all the work, then.”

    Vash swallows hard. Replies quietly: “Nai, what—what do I have to do to keep them alive.”

    The smile slips.

    The tide threatens to bowl him under.
