Summary
"Bro, you know how many words I wrote per day, and how many plants I created!” Shang Qinghua whines. "I can't remember them all, it's impossible."
Shen Qingqiu narrows his eyes. "It was used with Wife #418.”
"That doesn't narrow it down any further. I'm not going to be able to guess it, so stop punishing me and just tell me how the flower nerfed you."
Shen Qingqiu grits his teeth. Obviously he wants to draw this out to punish Shang Qinghua, but it kinda looks more like he's punishing himself. There's a muscle flexing in his jaw, and if he puts any more pressure on his fan's guard, it's going to snap. Uh, actually, Shen Qingqiu kind of looks like he's in pain—
“A false dragonhead is also called an obedient plant. It’s in the name—the flower forces you to do whatever you're told," Shen Qingqiu spits out.
or: Shen Qingqiu runs afoul of one of Airplane's stupid wife-plot devices...just before a mission to Jinlan City.

Summary
Intergalactic Federation pilot Lieutenant Charles Xavier is assigned last-minute to a high profile mission: transporting over two thousand prison inmates from an old and overfilled prison complex to a newer, higher-capacity prison stronghold located on the outer reaches of the galaxy. Just as he's settling down for a long and uneventful ride, things take a turn for the worse after the inmates riot and stage a hostile takeover of the ship, leaving Charles to find himself at the complete mercy of cold-blooded killers and facing the chilling prospect that he might not ever make it back home alive.

Summary
Jon is an obligate ram ventilator with chronic fatigue, a mako shark mermaid, who had long since resigned himself to dying. Martin is an orca mermaid who stumbles across a near-death Jon and decides he isn't going to let that happen.
They might be able to make it work if Jon stops being terrified Martin is going to eat him and Martin stops being certain Jon is going to choose death over his company. (It wouldn't be the first time someone had.)

Summary
In the moments that it took the new emperor to slide his sword out from the corpse of his brother, Tanju came to the only possible decision. He threw himself onto the ground and prostrated himself—knees, elbows, forehead all desperately kissing the cool marble—even as he cried into it, "Long live the emperor!"
Ardashir's boots came into view first, then the tip of his sword, held loosely at his side, dripping a trail of blood behind him. When he stopped walking, the drips began to gather into a pool. "You wish me to live long?"
~
In the aftermath of a bloody coup, the emperor's consort finds himself desperate to stay alive. His body and his magic are all he has to offer, for the one who possesses these will also possess the throne.

Summary
He’s here, something deep and instinctual whispers in him, and he perks up from where he’s been leaning against the alley wall, his eyes searching the crowd passing him by on the streets. His eyes catch on Jon before Jon spots him in turn. All dressed up nice for their date, his head turned as he looks for Martin in the completely wrong direction. Seeing Jon when he doesn’t think he’s being seen somehow feels like a stolen treasure, something precious that he shouldn’t have.
Uneasily, he thinks about how he’d sensed Jon so quickly, before he was even within his line of vision. Like he’d smelled him, heard his heartbeat-- or just sensed him somehow, standing out from the packed nightlife of downtown London. He doesn’t like it. It feels… predatory. Like he’s stalking him.
But that’s what he gets for making his boyfriend his thrall as well, he supposes.

Martin figures out how to be in a relationship with someone as a vampire. (And how to be loved.)

Summary
In his two centuries as Head of the Magnus Institute and leader of the Cult of Beholding, Jonah has never encountered something like Jonathan Sims.
Jon really wishes he hadn't attended that lecture, or, failing that, he found it easier to dismiss his kidnappers' paranormal claims.

Summary
As they shook hands, Kyle flared his nostrils, and Tanner realized he must be an alpha. It flustered him a little. He’d mostly avoided the alphas in high school, but he didn’t want to be rude, and walking away mid-conversation would definitely be rude. Besides, maybe alphas in college weren’t such dicks. Kyle hadn’t shoved him into any lockers yet or anything.
“You with the fraternity?” Tanner asked, chagrined to think he might have been dissing the party to one of the hosts.
“This one?” Kyle snorted and pulled out his phone. “Absolutely not. We just come to the first party of the year to stake out the competition, you know?”
“The competition for pledges?”
“Something like that.”

Summary
“You need to learn a lesson,” she says, and there’s blood speckling her lips now. She’s overstraining herself. He needs to stop her, calm her down. “And until you learn it you will suffer, just like you’ve made me suffer.”
“Mum, I think you need to--”
It turns out that when his father had called his mother a witch, he had meant more than Martin realized.

Summary
“Come in, Martin,” he says, not looking up from his notes.
“Hi, Jon,” he says, and Jon stops writing at the sound of his voice. “We’re out of the green tea, but we’ve got lemon?”
Jon looks at him. Martin smiles at him in his usual tentative way as he sets the mug of tea down on Jon’s desk. Heat spikes so sharply in his gut that he twitches with it.
“Thank you, Martin,” he says, mouth dry, and he stands up.
“Oh,” he says, sounding almost surprised. He smiles again. “No-- no problem-- um, what are you--”
Jon takes Martin by the shoulders, leans up on the tips of his toes, and kisses him.
