    Summary

    When Madara awoke, he had expected darkness.

    Caught off guard on a mission gone awry, injured, and trapped in a blizzard, he had been easy pickings for a party of Hagoromo Kekeii Genkai traders. Though he put up a fight, it was ultimately useless. He was poisoned, his eyes taken, and then left to bleed out in the snow. He had expected death at best, and blindness at worst.

    He had not expected to wake up in his clan's medical ward, eyes still fixed in his skull, healed, and with a fresh soul mark on his cheek.

    ---

    Somewhere, far past the river that divided their warring lands, Tobirama looked down at his hands with the soul mark that stained them, and his blood turned to ice.

    Summary

    Honoured a-niang,
    Please give my loving regards to a-die, gege, and meimei. This disobedient son apologizes for not having written in a while. I have been busy with my duties and night hunts. Ouyang-shixiong will soon retire from being head disciple and I have taken on many of his duties. We also recently brought back Venom-Devouring Pandas to the sect, and I promise I will tell you about it. But first, I have a question.
    Qing Jing Peak’s head disciple, Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu, as in black jade, until recently), not only shares our name, but also my face. He accused me of being a face-stealer when we met. It is like looking in the mirror, if I had a tendency to glare at everything and everyone. From what I gather, though he won’t speak to me much and no one seems to know anything about him, he is twenty-three years old. Two years my senior. Even his voice sounds like mine.
    A-niang. Please. Is there anything you want to tell me?

    Summary

    It seems that near enough every day, a new tale comes whispered of Lucerys Velaryon.

    They say that he drowned beneath the waters of Shipbreaker Bay, that what arose from the waves was only the shade of the boy that fell from dragonback.

    They say that he struck a bargain with the Stranger or worse god yet to live again, that any life reaped by him and his dragon forms some terrible payment to cheat death over and over.

    They say that his dragon is no child of Valyria at all, but a demon from the seven hells, one that sees human and dragon alike only as carrion for the feed.

    Aemond scorns each and every story for the absurdities that they are. Luke is as he always has been - a greedy, grasping bastard, bent on his ruin. No ghost, god or dragon could alter that.

    Summary

    When the original Luo Binghe crashes into his humble mountain abode, Shen Qingqiu half-expects that the shitty world of Proud Immortal Demon Way might just implode from its blackened demonic protagonist meeting his own younger, innocent disciple self. But when it doesn't, he's going to have to deal with something much more complicated: figuring out original Luo Binghe's intentions when he declares he’s moving into the bamboo house, creating the world's most awkward roommate situation!

    Nevertheless, Shen Qingqiu might still have a fighting chance of survival—if he can only decipher the haunting look in grown Luo Binghe's eyes, and his own increasingly muddled feelings...

    Summary

    “Hanguang-jun, do you know him?” Lan Jingyi asked, breaking the silence.

    Lan Wangji’s eyes flitted easily away from Wei Wuxian to the junior, before giving a slight shake of his head.
