    Summary

    “You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”

    My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.

    Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.

    “You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”

    From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

    Or

    In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

    Summary

    Estraven had asked me what a woman was, and what could I say? What had I ever known of women? I had been so long away from Terra that attitudes had changed; my female colleagues called me an “old chauvinist,” with a laugh. But I think perhaps even in my childhood, on the Terra of my own age, I had never understood women very much.

    I was heterosexual enough, coming from a place and time where almost everyone was. I thought of love, of sex, only when I thought of women.

    Summary

    "We've found the sower, Gongyi-shixiong," Binghe said. "Thank you for bringing assistance, but I won't presume to waste any more of this senior's time."

    The smile he gave Shen Qingqiu was…polite. Respectful.

    Disinterested.

    Shen Qingqiu stared at him, speechless. He'd been prepared for anger, or hate—it was no less than what he deserved—but this?

    What was this, even?

    In which Luo Binghe comes back from the Abyss with amnesia, and Shen Qingqiu is definitely relieved and not at all worried sick about him.

    Summary

    The grief of it sometimes eats him alive.

    Wei Wuxian would never admit it to anyone but Wen Qing— which is just as well, since she was the one who carved out his Golden Core with steady hands and placed it where it would do the most good. For his brother to gain a life, in exchange for his own.

    And yet, he is alive, and the mourning lingers.

    Perhaps that’s why, after months of research and half-baked theories, Wei Wuxian finds it quite convenient that the most viable way to rebuild his Golden Core comes down to this:

    “Oh, heavens,” Wen Qing mutters, pressing her fingers to her temples. "We need a man.”

    Or

    To the Esteemed Sects of the Cultivation World,

    The Yunmeng Jiang Sect, on behalf of our beloved brother Wei Wuxian, issues a most sincere request: a suitable husband, possessing an impeccable Golden Core, abundant Yang energy, and exceptional cultivation prowess, as to aid in his restoration to the righteous path of the sword.

    Lotus Pier will open its gates on the first day of Mèngchūn to welcome any honorable Young Master willing to answer this call. Your presence would be met with the utmost gratitude.

    With warm regards,

    Yunmeng Jiang Sect.
