It’s simple. Jo Yeong never thinks about it. He doesn’t allow himself to even entertain the idea. He pushes all the feelings down—down until nothing remains but the kind of devotion a subject should feel for his king.
In the mornings, he runs instead of getting into the shower. In the evenings, he studies or trains until he’s too exhausted to think about anything at all. On the rare occasions he does take care of himself, his mind is carefully blank.
It doesn’t matter. As long as he never thinks about it, never acts on it, never allows it to influence him, it doesn’t have to matter.
Jo Yeong has a secret he's been keeping for years. Now, it's trying to break free.

“Hey Sammy? You didn’t happen to start an apocalypse while I was in Purgatory, did you?”
Or: After the disappearance of the One, pagan gods are fighting over who gets the world. Alliances are forged and broken, Zeus and Enlil form a bromance, Odin teams up with Isis, Loki probably has an evil plan, Artemis ponders second-wave feminism, Crowley is amused, the angels are not, Inanna has opinions, Don is a Carver Edland fan.
And Dean and Cas aren't fooling anybody.

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence
It was inevitable, the smell—it hung around every Yujian Bang assassin and spy like a damp robe, trailing out behind them in ribbons. Prostitutes and brothel workers always smelled of flowers and tea, scholars smelled of ink and incense, and upstanding martial warriors smelled of the wind and the loam. The bottoms of ponds and rivers. Mulch. Yujian Bang, the Jade Sword Gang, smelled of blood—of animals, of Blood Prisoners, of their own.

Zhou Zishu is ready to be done with Tian Chuang. He's ready for his seventh nail, and ready to wander before facing his eighty one brothers with a bowed head in the afterlife. He will do this after, apparently, one last mission that's simply too intriguing to pass up.
The Ghost Valley has sent a letter past its borders, asking to attend the Heroes Conference of the Five Lakes Alliance. The Five Lakes Alliance, unbelievably, has accepted. Both no doubt have hidden intentions, and Prince Jin wants eyes and ears on the scene. Zhou Zishu can't quite bring himself to deny his own ravenous curiosity enough not to accept.
The stunning beauty that shows up with the girls of the Department of the Unfaithful, the one who introduces himself as Wen Kexing, is universally assumed to be a favorite plaything of the yet unseen Ghost Valley Master. His beauty and charm may be enough to captivate all the others into underestimating him, but Zhou Zishu knows a killer's eyes when he sees one. Wen Kexing is a puzzle he'd like to figure out, and Zishu himself can't say he isn't also captivated by dark eyes and a smile that wouldn't be out of place with blood in its teeth.

Lan Wangji hopes, somewhat frivolously, that his betrothed might find him an acceptable companion. Neither he nor Wei Wuxian are able to bear children, so there will be no need to share a marital bed; that should make it easier for the two of them to reach a natural, comfortable equilibrium.
Two strings played in harmony: this is Lan Wangji’s quiet hope, as he arranges the Jingshi to accommodate a second inhabitant. Perhaps, he thinks, they might even become friends.
