    Summary

    The Black Tide is gone. The world is remade. And Phainon the Deliverer, the man who fulfilled prophecy, doesn’t know what to do with himself.

    Mydei, who has always seen him too clearly, drags him back to the ruins of Aedes Elysiae and says “We’re rebuilding this. Together.”

    (Or: how two men who fought side-by-side to save the world learn what they were fighting for.)

    Summary

    "I've asked around, Diluc. Everyone says that you seem more distracted lately."

    "There is no correlation! For all you know, I could be distracted by some unforseen problem you knights have yet to discover."

    Lohen smirked. "But is it really that, Master Diluc?"

    ————

    After learning that Diluc has been targetted, Lohen decides to task himself with walking the winery owner home. And walking him home obviously entails railing him, no questions asked.

    Summary

    Diluc pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "I'm not sure whether or not that was a compliment, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't stare at me."

    "Sounds like you want me to stop, Master Diluc." Lohen's grin only grew wider.

    "Indeed, I would like you to stop."

    "Then, make me."

    ".. Excuse me?"

    "I'm sure that if you were to bash my head against the wall a couple of times, I'd have no choice but to stop staring, wouldn't you say, Master Diluc?"

    Diluc's brows creased in concern as he looked at the man, whose face was flushed, pupils dilated and shaking as he stared at him with scary intensity.

    ——

    Positively exhausted after their “fight,” Lohen turned to look at Diluc with a smug grin.

    “I win.” he announced, taking in the sight of the disheveled man before him.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City while on an impromptu trip his friends forced him to join at gunpoint (not really, but Wei Wuxian's threats to expose all of Jiang Cheng's old Facebook photos might as well be the same damn thing).

    He just doesn't expect something – or someone, for that matter – to follow him home.
