    Summary

    After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.

    “Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.

    Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”

    “I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”

     

    *:・゚✧*:・゚

    Or: Hua Cheng is cursed and has no memory of his beloved. His tether. His reason for remaining in the world. Xie Lian takes a job in Ghost City to try to get Hua Cheng to fall in love with him again before he dissipates.

    Summary

    He flew too high, fingertips grazing the blistering edge of the sun. For one trembling second, he thought he’d made it, until the heat stole his wings, left him to plummet into the eternal darkness. Light did not guide him out, only the cold certainty that the man he’d called Father had never been his, and the weight of knowing he’d failed the one person who mattered most. Over and over, his mind lingered on the fragments of what he could have done differently, if he’d only listened to Gallagher, if he’d dared to open his eyes and see the dream for the lie it was.

    The Penacony incident was supposed to be the end of that chapter, a clean slate. Sunday’s place on the Astral Express had felt like proof that he'd made it out intact, like maybe there was something left to salvage.

    But ghosts never stay buried for long, do they? He should’ve known better.

    He thought he could outrun it all.

    He thought wrong.

    --

    Character study about Sunday and his unhealthy coping mechanisms. Himeko assigns Welt to look over Sunday and make him know that the Astral Express welcomes him, no matter how tattered or torn he was on the surface.

    Summary

    Excess is poison, his father tells him. The careful balance between enough and too much, and Jiaoqiu knows it is too much. The first rule of healing and caring is that you, the physician, must be well enough to take care of others. A burnt candle provides no light.
