    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”

    Summary

    As soon as the chamber door closed, Hua Cheng sank to his knees in anguish. After eight hundred years, he had finally found him. So many centuries of wandering, of searching through dust-choked battlefields and forgotten shrines, of chasing rumors like a starving man chasing the scent of food. Eight hundred years of prayers offered to the God who had fallen from Heaven.

    He couldn’t fight this moment of weakness; the sweet relief after so many years of begging to just catch a glimpse of this man. Hua Cheng lifted his head slowly, wiping the remnants of tears from his face with the back of his hand. The agony did not vanish, but it sharpened into purpose. He was finally strong enough to protect him.

     

    OR: TGCF entirely from Hua Cheng's point of view.

    Get ready for unwavering devotion shrouded in jealousy, guilt, self-loathing, and fear.

    Summary

    Before, you would have doubted it. But it’s been like this for long enough to know that it’s yours. You are no longer giving with both hands to someone who wants none of it. He receives and gives in return.

    Summary

    The gist of it was this: infiltrate La Puta Madre, get key names, dates and locations, and get out. As if this was an easy task, and not something the RCM had been struggling to achieve successfully for decades.

    The Moralintern’s present, Benjamin Setsuna, was a recent addition to the Madre, previously not physically present within the Jamrock locale. La Madre knew a name, that he was Seolite, his necessary business dealings, but had never actually seen the man.

    Kim resented that this task had fallen to him, as the precinct’s only high ranking Seolite officer. He had accepted the task, mask carefully in place, but he felt Harry shift angrily next to him at their secondary briefing.

    Summary

    LOGIC [Formidable: Success] - You’ve only been in the world for around 10 days. Of course you would seek out the only thing that has been a constant for you.

    INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - The only constant in this cold, cruel and confusing world.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Success] - You’ve imprinted on the lieutenant, haven’t you. Like a baby bird, newly hatched, wet and blind and screeching.

    --

    After the case of The Hanged Man, Harry tries to pick up the pieces. A character study and a loveletter to failure, to what comes after rock bottom. To trying again.
