    Summary

    “We can’t let the rain go on,” said Zagreus. He was too weak for his voice to project. He had no idea if Chaos could hear him. “So you’re saying, to break it, we have to…?”

    Chaos turned their head in his direction. Their eyes—the ones in their face—were a swirling, depthless violet.

    // Persistent rains begin to fall over the Styx. Zagreus and Thanatos strike a deal with Hades to get to the bottom of it.

    Summary

    “And,” said one of the pompous ministers, “there’s the matter of a marriage to consider as well!” 

    Jin Ling, who at the beginning of that sentence had expected to slam into the very last wall of his patience and lose his temper entirely, paused. “A what?”

    Thing was… it wasn’t such a bad idea.

    Summary

    “Lan Zhan… wants to bed me?”

    The hand on his chest is shaking, slightly. “Mn.”

    “Oh,” Wei Wuxian breaths out.

    There’s something— something powerful, about that. Lan Wangji wants to bed him. Lan Wangji wants to sleep with him. Lan Wangji wants to touch him, and kiss him. The immovable, implacable Second Master of Lan, with a face and principles both carved from jade, wants him.

    “Is this a fantasy of yours?” Wei Wuxian asks. “Forcing all the demonic energy out of me with your—”

    Lan Wangji claps a hand over his mouth. “Silence, now.”

    When the entire cultivation world turns against the Yiling Patriarch, Wei Wuxian makes a risky gamble— he'll agree to participate in an ancient ritual for cleansing the spirit, so that his character can no longer be called into question. The catch? He has no idea who his partner for the ritual will be.
