    Summary

    Miko breathes in deep, the cold air filling her lungs with something sharp and awake. “Good morning,” Miko mutters to the waving branches of spindly trees resting just below the veranda of her balcony, and pretends that the whisper of leaves in the wind is an answer back.

     

    “Good morning, Sakura.”

     

    Miko’s thoughts grind to a halt. Her head turns, painfully slowly, to the balcony of the apartment next to hers. She swears she hears the bones in her neck creak and groan like a rusty metal swivel.

     

    "...Boss?"

    A story about early morning rituals, keeping friendly relations with your neighbors, and learning how to dream again.

    Summary

    “So, like,” Stelle says as they start hiking to the next checkpoint. He’s getting a bad feeling about this. “Are you Bailu’s dad?”

    Dan Heng pulls himself out of the snow drift he fell into, coughing and sputtering. Dusting snow off of his coat, he glares at the hysterically laughing Stelle. “Of course not! Stop being ridiculous.”

    “Are you sure? Or is this another ‘Dan Feng is her dad and I’m not him’ situation?” Stelle pulls herself together, but just barely. “You were talking about all that stuff about the old Imbibitor Lunae and his sin and breaking the cycle of reincarnation and stuff so I kind of figured…”

    “You figured wrong.” Dan Heng snaps. “Besides, Vidyadhara reincarnate. We can’t bear children.”

    “Believe me, I’ve heard plenty about your infertility,” Stelle rolls her eyes. What does she mean by that? “But you’re still Bailu’s dad, I think.”

    Bailu stows away on the Astral Express. They take the long way back to the Luofu.
