    Summary

    After leaving home at eighteen, Zhou Zishu has had nothing to do with his parents' humble fruit farm, choosing instead to work for his LA cousin, a rising politician with ties to the underworld. Zishu believed he'd found his calling as an assassin - a character assassin, who holds the lives of his cousin's enemies in the lens of his camera. Zishu doesn't believe anything could ever draw him back to his childhood home for good. But his father's sudden death, coupled with the death of his own young LA protege, bring Zishu up hard against the meaninglessness of his life.

    He packs a bag and heads back to Washington, planning to sell the farm and then disappear. But while he might have spent the past fifteen years trying to forget his past, the people of that past have been keeping tabs on him. He arrives in the little dirt-road town of Crossroads to find that he's been very much missed, and that leaving again might not be as simple as he thought. Particularly when he meets the beautiful and mysterious drifter, Wen Kexing, who seems just a little too good to be true.

    But then, so does Zishu.

    Summary

    “Ready for lunch?” Crowley drops to his knees to start unbuckling the straps on the basket as though this is something they do all the time; as though he hasn’t just effortlessly catapulted Aziraphale back in time almost fifty years.

    “You remembered,” Aziraphale breathes as wonder courses through him. He mentioned something once during an awkward moment, half a century ago, and now here kneels a demon atop a picnic blanket.

    “Hmm?” Crowley barely shoots him a sidelong glance as he concentrates on opening the basket.

    Aziraphale’s eyes do not move from him. “You remembered,” he repeats, no less stunned. “Crowley, you really didn’t have to.”

    Crowley’s hands still. Eventually, his eyes still on the basket, he murmurs, “Well, we did The Ritz, didn’t we?”

    Summary

    I have spent nights with matches and knives, leaning over ledges, only two flights up.
    Cutting my heart, burning my soul. Nothing left to hold.
    Nothing left but blood and fire.

    Three young men. Three histories of death and trauma. Is love even possible after so much loss?

    Lan Huan's been here before a few times, but never like this – never with intent, never when there's a saved text on Jiang Cheng's phone that he can't quite believe he managed to type-
