Summary
He knows it’s pointless - debunked wishful thinking - but he can’t help himself sometimes from lingering on the kid’s face. The slope of his nose, the shape of his brow, the tan of his skin that would have stood out against Kayleigh’s pale complexion.
(Five times that Wymack looks at Kevin and thinks of Kayleigh, plus one time he looks at Kevin and is reminded of himself.)

Summary
Xiang Shu must be dreaming.
Or rather, he hopes he’s dreaming.
Either this is all a dream, or he’s finally hit his head hard enough that he’s lost his mind.

Summary
Xiang Shu is used to the weight of Chen Xing’s body.
In the morning light following the battle against Wen Zhe, even the pleasure of his touch does nothing to diminish the panic caught like bile in his throat.

God, he can pretend.

Summary
Shen Yuan is the most unlucky man on earth, and he has proof that the universe is out to get him. The list goes as follows:
1.) He is roommates with Shang Qinghua (ick)
2.) Movie nights with Shang Qinghua suck (irredeemably bad taste)
3.) Shang Qinghua decided Shen Yuan needs dance with him (long story)This is stupid and unfair. Shen Yuan just really hopes he doesn't discover anything about himself along the way…

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
It shouldn’t have been surprising to learn that Martin hated him. He had been, he knew, a truly terrible boss - he’d treated Martin horribly, caused him to lose his home, nearly gotten him killed. Really, it had been ridiculous to ever think that Martin wouldn’t hate him.
Still, Jon had been trying, in his own way, to make it up to him. There wasn’t exactly a card at the drugstore that said, “I’m sorry I berated you for six months and caused you to nearly be eaten by a swarm of worms of potentially supernatural origin,” but he’d been trying. He brought Martin breakfast every morning, made sure the breakroom cabinets were stocked with his favorite blends of tea, and had tried to work some genuine praise into his feedback of Martin’s work. None of it was the direct apology that his conscience told him he really ought to give, but Martin had appreciated it. Or seemed to, anyway.
Jon wasn’t certain what motivated the decision he made next - whether it was guilt or spite or something else. He could, he knew, be quite petty when the situation called for it. Either way, he made up his mind then and there to prove Martin wrong. He was going to be the best fake boyfriend he could be.
