    Summary

    The streets run east in daylight and northeast after dark. The radio picks up stations that don't exist. Everyone in the city takes a yellow powder that makes it all feel normal.

    Hongjoong doesn't take the powder. Hongjoong isn't from here.

    ~~~~~

    Seonghwa has been walking between worlds for longer than years can hold. Each door scanned for a frequency that is never there. He has almost forgotten what it feels like to hope.

    The next door opens onto coal smoke, gaslight, and a signal that stops him breathing.

    Summary

    "Utopia, little one, is the biggest trading place for everything illegal and rotten.” His eyes glimmered with awe. “A major trading point where pirates trade goods and gold. If you make it there, you’ll swim in gold.”

    “So, how do I find it?”

     

    “You need to find the Witcher. He can not only tell you more, but he’s also the only person who could get you in touch with the Pirate King. "

    ---

    Summary

    Xie Lian was not upset about what he lost. He swore up and down that he didn’t mind being immortal, ashes wrapped around his neck. Not a god anymore. Not really. So, Xie Lian made a home on a mountain, plagued with white flowers that sprouted from his blood and his footsteps, twisting along every pathway. Another ghost came to live with him, between the flowers and the trees and winding river Xie Lian kept thinking of drowning in. He said his name was San Lang. It wasn’t. It was actually Hua Cheng, but Xie Lian didn’t know how to bring that up. It wasn’t as important as everything else—gardens, flowers, silver butterflies, and sorting out his dreams from his perilous reality. Hua Cheng made space, and Xie Lian let him.

    Dead god, very dead follower. It was almost funny.

    He wasn’t sure what to do, seeing as he didn't plan to ascend once more, or plan to hold power over a kingdom again. Xie Lian wasn’t staying forever. The mountain would open up, and he would leave to become something catastrophic. Or he would finally disperse. Who was he to say?

    (or: xie lian dies, becomes a calamity, ascends to the heavens against his wishes, and finally makes his life flourish between his thumbs and a ghost’s smile.)
