    Summary

    On a trip from the city to visit his ma, Jackie's luck runs out at midnight on the side of a moorland road. Thankfully, a local shows up in time to help.
    But the stranger is not as he seems, and soon enough Jackie learns exactly what it means for things older than the land to come for their pound of flesh.

    Or: Jackie gets kidnapped by a bog deity. It goes exactly how you'd think.

    Summary

    Anthy leaves.

    Making Ohtori a memory will be more difficult than she wants it to be. And Tenjo Utena is a difficult person to find.

    But still. Anthy leaves.

    And the world outside the egg's shell spreads out before her. Promising perhaps, something eternal.

    Summary

    Jin Ling pulls away with wide, wild eyes. He glances pointedly at Shenshen and then whispers “I thought no one was supposed to know!”

    Jin Guangyao nods in concession. “It is important that you don’t tell anyone about us, A-Ling, but A-Su knows.” Jin Guangyao’s smile is sharp, but his cheeks dimple. “A-Su has always known about you, my special boy.”

    --

    Jin Ling just wants to say goodnight to Xiaoshu like he does every night. There's a complication.

    Summary

    the beast isn't something that exists on this plane, as far as meng yao knows. every time it -- he -- moves, reality seems to shimmer around it, making his head hurt from trying too hard to focus. at times he thinks it resembles the cliff-wolves of qinghe or the fabled elephants of tianzhu; at others it seems ethereal, like wisps of resentful energy, or like an oily sheen upon the air itself. he does not know how many limbs the beast has, and every time he tries to take count the number seems to change. it is the same with the number of eyes and mouths, the dark caverns filled with far too many teeth and tongues.

    when meng yao says he will do anything to earn his place at jinlintai, his father puts that resolve to the test.
