Summary
"Yeah, okay," Dave said, pulling Karkat abruptly out of his thoughts. He had won the battle against smiling, though his blond eyebrows were slightly raised. "Well, I'm into Alternian guys, around 5'7, medium build. Bonus points if they work in events and always look like somebody just pissed in their cereal." He met Karkat's incredulous stare with cool indifference. Under the table, Karkat could feel his knee bouncing. "You happen to know anybody like that?"

Summary
There was a small scrabbling sound under the stairs. Rats, most likely. Then the sound of metal clinking against metal, which was unusual – more likely to be the harbinger of a fierce corpse. Lan Zhan readied his sword.
It was not a fierce corpse, but a sadder kind of walking dead: the skinniest dog he’d ever seen crept out from under the stairs and looked at them, hunched over and crouched down in fear, tail tucked between its legs and up against its belly.
Lan Wangji and Jiang Wanyin search for Wei Wuxian, rescue a dog, and fall in love.

Summary
Dustin watches Eddie's face as everyone else giggles. He's retained his typical intimidating smirk for much of this encounter, but as Steve stumbles through his fictional seduction, Eddie's eyes soften. His smirk slowly turns to a small grin.
“Didn't Wizard Romeo and Juliet both die?” he asks, in that same low, grumbly voice he always loves to use for big scary bad guys. The effect is jarring.
“Well, yes, but… they loved each other first,” Steve says, oddly sincere. “I think love is worth the risk. Wouldn't you agree? And then, uh, I'm gonna take off my helmet and, like—” Steve tosses his hair, shaking it out dramatically and running a hand through it afterward to fix any wayward strands.
"Ew,” Mike says.
Nancy presses a hand over her mouth, but it does nothing to hide her smile. Usually, this is the point where Eddie would make them all roll initiative. Dustin has his D20 ready. But Eddie smiles. Eddie fucking smiles, and not in that maniacal way he does before siccing something horrific on them, he fucking beams, and says, "You're gonna scrape your neck on his mace doing that, just so you know."

Summary
“I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”
Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.
“Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”
___
Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.
Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

“I want to be with you forever, Mister Tokushirou,” Usami says, when he’s twelve years old.
“Now, now, Tokishige, that’s something you should save for when you’re older,” Tsurumi says. He smiles when he says it, but it’s the same smile he gives the other boys, the same benevolent kindness that makes Usami want to tear their eyes out for seeing it.

New homeowner Joe has hired contractor Nicky for his planned renovations.

Summary
Giving Gritty unfettered access to the internet seemed kind of like introducing a twelve-year-old boy to the internet and hoping he wouldn’t search "boobs:" if you came back in fifteen minutes, you’d find the kid had finished with searching "boobs" and had moved on to searching for the most depraved hardcore pornography imaginable. Claude didn’t want to know what they’d been hoping Gritty wouldn’t search.
"So. What did he… find?" Claude said, dreading the answer.
Annie looked towards the ceiling. "Have you ever heard of fanfiction?"

Summary
The kitchen isn’t a separate room so much as a corner of the living room where the wood floor turns into ceramic tile. There’s a note on the fridge, scrawled in emphatic capital letters: EAT SOMETHING. Matt obediently peers inside and finds it better stocked than he expected. Milk and butter, eggs, apples, about six different kinds of mustard, a few tupperware containers with what looks like leftover spaghetti and meatballs, and, front and center, a plastic-wrapped sandwich with a post-it note that says, in the same scrawled hand: START HERE.

Summary
"Double or nothing," said Webster abruptly.
"How exactly do you mean to double 'everything I had?'" said Ash. He meant it to come out level, but there was a quaver in his voice.
"One more trick," Webster said. "Play, and win or lose you will walk away with your fortune." Ash stared at him. Webster made an impatient gesture. "I don't want or need your money. Or your house. Or your coat and shirt, come to that."
It was an offer of princely generosity. Ash's mouth was dry. "And what would you have from me?" he asked.
Something flared in Webster's cool expression for a moment, like a shark flashing a fin in still waters. "A month," he said.
