    Summary

    What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.

    The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.

    What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.

    It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

    Summary

    Childe will remember the sting of Zhongli’s rejection well.

    He will feel the remnants of it long after he has left Liyue - every time he glimpses at anything shaded gold, every time his mind wanders to the memory of a deep timbre of a voice and a soft, caring smile.

    Childe knows he is nothing more than a mere passer-by in Zhongli's endless life. Temporary company and easy to let go. Of course Zhongli doesn’t want him.

    Perhaps it is time to return to Snezhnaya.

    (And yet, if Childe had been in the right state of mind instead of drowning in a tsunami of humiliation and hurt, then maybe he would have noticed the strain in Zhongli's polite, tight-lipped smile, the restrain in his clenched fists and how those Cor Lapis eyes smouldered with the barely-suppressed hunger of the sleeping beast dwelling within.)

    Summary

    In which Arthur slowly loses his mind after legalizing magic in Camelot because his idiot of a manservant still won't admit he's a freaking sorcerer... No worries though. He has a plan. A well-developed, patented, highly intelligent plan that would absolutely lead to Merlin becoming his court sorcerer (because the one he has right now was a complete dimwit).

    Too bad Merlin also has a plan. A well-developed, patented, highly intelligent plan to not tell Arthur he has magic under any circumstances whatsoever.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan took a moment to unwrap the delicate paper patterned with clouds. Inside was a silver hairpin, an amber stone nestled in the end, limbs of silver delicately wrapped around it, etched in a floral design. It was beautiful and very expensive for a servant’s son. She looked up at Wei Ying in question, who blushed.

    “When I wrote to my parents about jiejie, I mentioned how pretty jiejie’s eyes were, so my parents sent back the amber? Apparently, they were offered it as a gift for helping with a night hunt years ago and the uncle and auntie in the night market offered to make it into a hairpin if I spent the past few weeks helping out at the store and-”

    Lan Zhan calmly slipped the hairpin into her hair, before grabbing Wei Ying by the arm and yanking him inside the Jingshi.

    Summary

    Wangji kept his mouth shut, and his eyes firmly fixed on the book he’d chosen for today’s supervision of Wei Ying’s freshly ordered punishment, carrying on with his resolve to put down his feelings for Wei Ying. Wei Ying was about to marry Shufu, and Wangji had to learn to keep his distance.

    “Lan Zhan! Lan-er-gege, don’t ignore me!”

    It was proving difficult.

    Or, the one where Lan Qiren and Wei Wuxian time travel and give everyone the wrong impression as they plot to avoid the war. Also, Lan Qiren is trying to be a good uncle-in-law. Let's give him a chance.
