Summary
"Oh God," says Damien. "Yikes. Did the National Enquirer just out you?"
"Out me? Out me for what?" Deborah demands. She hasn't done anything truly scandalous or cancel-worthy in months, at least not in public. Ava can be such a buzzkill. And who the hell reads the Enquirer anymore?
Damien, already braced for impact, shows her the headline screaming across his phone screen.
DEOBRAH VANCE FINALLY COMES OUT! A COMPLETE TIMELINE OF HER RELATIONSHIP WITH SAUCY YOUNG WRITER AVA DANIELS
(Or: Deborah spirals. Ava is far too calm. Everybody else feels a migraine coming on.) -

Summary
Yelan is very good at her job. She is the dagger tucked in Ningguang's fist and the shadow whispering into her ear. She is the Tianquan's phantom hand. But even a phantom gets captured sometimes. Occupational hazard.

Summary
Jean digs her nails into the bright pink already blooming over Eula's flesh, marveling. She wants the clear, unmistakable shape of her hand here, she's pretty sure: all five fingers. She wants to leave her mark, Gunnhildr over Lawrence. Her other hand pushes down hard on the small of Eula's back, in case Eula starts squirming again. But all the venom has drained from Eula's eyes; she melts under Jean's touch, hissing in pain but arching subtly into Jean's palm.

Summary
Months into her carefully arranged marriage with the Dandelion Knight of Mondstadt, Ayaka's wife still feels like nothing more than a polite, distant stranger. So when Ayaka travels back to Inazuma to visit family, she expects the physical distance will give Jean the appropriate excuse to drift even further away from her.
It's then that she receives the first letter.

Summary
Perfect, polished Jean Gunnhildr is the beloved golden girl of her college campus. In between managing her packed schedule and her mother’s strict expectations, Jean maintains a businesslike, mutually beneficial “arrangement” with classmate-slash-rival Eula Lawrence. Ever the black sheep, Eula drinks too much and compromises too little, but to Jean she provides a reliable source of no strings attached “stress relief.”
When Jean finds herself moving in with Eula their senior year—for purely pragmatic reasons—her neat, regimented life starts to fracture. Boundaries blur. Old hurts are exhumed. Suddenly, there are too many strings to count, and neither Jean nor Eula knows how to untangle the knots.

Summary
"You?" Yelan snorts. "You don't trust anyone."
"I trust you," Ningguang says, meeting her gaze steadily. "Without reservation."
Yelan's mouth twists into a smirk. It is a backhanded barb, and they both know it. Ningguang only trusts things she's confident she can control.

Summary
But she'd long ago made peace with the reality that she could never hope to hold the whole of Jean Gunnhildr's attention. It was a commodity far too in demand, pulled and tugged as many directions as dandelion seeds in their fickle Archon's wind. To chase such a thing was a childish fantasy: fun sometimes, but leading nowhere.
Eula Lawrence had already picked more than her fair share of losing battles, and was busy fighting them still—she had little interest in adding another to her timetable.

Summary
She breathes her in, the familiar winter-cold scent of fresh cedar and clean soap. Nearly everything about Eula is familiar to Amber: the smell of her, the cool, amused lilt to her voice, the faint, crooked shape of her smile, the gentle way she touches her hand to the small of Amber's back to steady her even now, even when Amber is practically throwing herself at her.

Summary
"You know," Jean says, "you remind me a bit of a cat I used to have when I was little."
Eula scoffs, but Jean catches the tinge of pink in her cheeks. "Did your cat happen to bite often?" she says, lazy and lilting.
