Summary
"Li Ming stepped out into the night. The silence over the snow-covered plain was absolute, enveloping him like a blanket. He did not bother to close the door behind himself - one of the assets of his affinity to cold was that he could direct it and keep it out of the room. His naked feet tingled as they touched the ice crusted snow, a pleasant greeting, no pain or warning."

Summary
'Irene carefully shut the door behind herself, sliding the bolt at the top and then the chain before locking it and leaving her key in the lock. She hung her coat up and unpinned her hat, moving slowly as she did so. She didn't turn the lights on but she knew her own home well enough that she could return home and get from the hallway and to bed with her eyes shut if she chose to do so.'

Summary
There was still a part of Irene that wanted to apologize, that wanted to point out all of the ways she had hurt and failed him over the past few days alone. There was still a part of her that wanted to ask him if he was certain that he wanted to be with her despite everything. There was still a part of her that was insisting on detailing all of the ways she might lose him someday, all the ways that allowing herself to have this now could end up being horrifically painful.
She was going to pitch that part of herself into the sewers and then leave it in this alternate for good measure.

Summary
"Even the mental images of Ao Shun so gorgeously fitted out in the ceremonial vesture, the sheer culmination of power and beauty, the energy he radiated and the deep thunder in his voice as he gave his speech made Li Ming's heart beat faster.
It was not the first time that he witnessed the preparations and ceremonial procedures surrounding the royal mating rituals.
He had overseen their part of the organisation, acted as mediator with the other court's counterpart and made sure that everything would remain in order during Ao Shun’s absence.
What was new, though, was the gathering dread that had started to churn in his guts, continually growing as the date came close." -

Summary
The music shifted languidly, a strangled mockery of a familiar nursery rhyme. Wooden faces turned to him, showing eyes painted open in still, alarmed stares. He didn’t dare look down at himself. Couldn’t bear to face the truth if he wasn’t... if he was...
So instead he looked up.
And saw a web.

Out of Character by enigma731, invisibledaemon

Summary
She gasped and sat up abruptly, Kai’s hands...or her own hands...falling off of her shoulders. Her body sat across from her, crouched in a more elegant way than she’d have thought her body capable of, and that sealed it for her. “Kai?”
"Yes," he said immediately, actually managing to sound a bit irritated despite the utterly impossible circumstances that certainly seemed to more than justify her question. "Are you all right?"
Irene decided to do what she did best in situations where she was uncertain of herself: dodge the question altogether. "You are -- in my body."
"Yes," said Kai. "And you are in mine. And I am going to murder Silver very painfully if it turns out that he isn't already dead."

Summary
Irene was reminded suddenly of observing him as they’d escaped the prison in Venice, the way he’d seemed diminished, the confidence that so defined him badly shaken. That wasn't quite how he looked now -- it was somehow both better and worse. He was working so hard to keep up appearances that he almost managed to pull it off. But she knew him well enough to see the cracks in the façade, to see how utterly exhausted he was by it, and that was a stunningly intimate thing to realize.

Summary
<"Please, will you hold still for just another moment? I'm almost done with this one."
Ao Shun's sigh came with a deep growl at the very back of his throat, but he let his head rest once more on the folded towel in Li Ming's lap. The low buzz of the dremel came to a higher, slightly unnerving pitch as the sanding band moved across the long horn again.
Ao Shun severely disliked horn maintenance, but every once in a while it was unavoidable if he wanted them to stay in good shape.>written per request and for the prompt “bandaging / stitching up an injury”
