    Summary

    Yoojin hummed around a cookie in his mouth. “If he weren't a smith, Myungwoo would make a killing as a chef. Or a househusband. He’s seriously a hidden catch, but all the women of Korea don’t know about the perfect man that cooks, cleans, and makes bank since he never leaves his forge.”

    The keywords here were beginning to factor into a series of calculations in Yoohyun’s head. Yoojin had a big laundry list of things he wanted, and the section related to what he wished for Yoohyun was mostly impossible but could be easily fabricated. A life that might include one spouse, one child, and many friends—all with the expectation that he be “happy”. The illusions of that, too, could be constructed.

    After this discussion, Yoohyun had come to appreciate a useful fact.

    Yoo Myungwoo would be an ideal candidate for marriage.

    Or: Han Yoohyun tries his hand at dating and selects Yoo Myungwoo as the baffled object of his attention.

    Summary

    Nie Huaisang knows that things in this world are rarely story-shaped. That they're more akin to ink spilled on parchment - Messy and unpredictable and rather tragic. But out of all the threads he's woven throughout damn near a decade, he had not expected the most straightforward of his ploys to go this awry.

    He had not expected Wei-Xiong to end up here in Qinghe, half-drunk and too thin with no Lan Wangji in sight. Because it turns out that on his way to becoming the Chief Cultivator, the great Hanguang-Jun had left Wei-Xiong on the side of the road to walk alone in a world that most probably still wants him dead.

    What else could Huaisang have done other than bring Wei-Xiong home with him?

    Summary

    it’s edmund’s father who teaches him how to be a man.

    he teaches him how to ride a bike (and not to cry when he wobbles and bruises his knees on the cobbles); he teaches him how to fasten a tie (not to slouch when he sits, to say please and thank you, to be polite and quiet and convenient); he teaches him his multiplication tables (heads bent together over the scrubbed kitchen table, edmund’s pen tapping against his two loose front teeth), his words (sounding out the harder ones, black spiky characters on a white page that jumble themselves in front of his eyes), how to play cricket (“not bad, ed,” dad says, and edmund is overcome with boyish pride), how to fish (though, not often, because they’re in london and london isn’t exactly overflowing with lakes) –

    of course, he teaches peter all this first.
