    Summary

    Arthur has always had distant dreams of leaving Camelot. They were never more than a wistful fantasy, at least once he grew up.

    Finding out about Merlin’s magic changes everything though, and not only because Arthur would do more to keep Merlin safe than he cares to admit. What follows are secrets upon secrets, allowing the dreams to slip back in as all his father’s lies unravel around him. Slowly but surely, Camelot feels less like a home and more like a gilded cage, and Arthur isn’t so certain anymore whether he’s the right person to carry this legacy. If he even wants to.

    One final secret, one opportunity, and suddenly the dreams aren’t mere dreams anymore. Merlin wouldn’t be Merlin if he didn’t follow wherever Arthur goes, and as they try to outrun Uther’s manhunt for them, they have to learn to live a life that’s about more than duty, other’s expectations, and a destiny that has never once cared for them.

    Or: Arthur long since expected that one day, he might have to flee Camelot with Merlin. He just never thought that he would be the reason.

    Summary

    “Liu Qingge.” Shen Qingqiu stares at him like he’s a cat who’s just deposited a particularly bloody carcass on his pillow. It’s a pretty familiar look, honestly. “What is that.”

    Liu Qingge stares back. “It’s… a child?” His voice betrays him at the last moment, turning the statement into a question. The bundle of cloth he’s holding takes the opportunity to snuffle very softly in its sleep. It certainly looks like a child.

    “So you’ve come to me because…?”

    Liu Qingge gets the same feeling that he gets right before he discovers he’s walked into a trap array. The kind with poison-tipped arrows. “It isn’t mine.” Shen Qingqiu nods equanimously, though the tension in his shoulders belies his calm. “I found it.”

    Shen Qingqiu, abruptly, no longer looks very calm at all. “Begging shidi to say that again. Surely this shixiong misheard. You—?”

    “In a flower,” Liu Qingge elaborates.

    Liu Qingge vs. the greatest trial he’s faced yet: single fatherhood.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng was not very good at finding his god for 800 years. What he was good at was finding where his god had been, and telling stories. And it turns out if you tell a story enough times to enough people it takes on a life of its own.

    When Xie Lian drinks the wine at the Midautumn Banquet, he is treated to the story of a god lost to time, and his most devoted believer.

Those things can't possibly be connected in any way.
