    Summary

    How does the story go, again? A human finds a selkie's skin, and compels her to become his wife. The selkie, bound by the magic of her pelt, has no choice but to obey, to leave behind the only world she's ever known and submit to a life of servitude on land.

    But then, if that's all it takes… all she has to do is find one good human, one who won't misuse this power or mistreat her. Someone kind and understanding, who will respect her for who she is. A partner, not a captor.

    Someone she can coexist with, someone who will show her the world she longs for. A guide, a friend—someone who will open the door to all the wonders and experiences she's been denied, who will help her navigate a new life above the waves.

    Someone who will steal her away from the sea.

    Or

    Furina longs for a life above the water. Arlecchino might just be her ticket out.

    Summary

    Arlecchino's curse is a complete mystery to the living. Its history died with its predecessors. As she's gotten older, she's held the curse at bay, understanding as much as she can about how it works.

    She never anticipated waking up as a beast one day.

    Meanwhile, Furina still struggles to walk alone at night despite her progress in healing all the hurt she faced in 500 years.

    An opportunity is presented to Arlecchino on a silver platter. One can hardly blame someone for taking such an eager gift.

    Summary

    “What would you give for them?”

    Furina could have laughed right then and there. “Isn’t it obvious? Everything.” She blinked, as though only now realizing the weight of her words, “I would give everything, a million times over.”

    “You, Furina de Fontaine, are the most fascinating human being I have ever met. No violence will reach the shores of Fontaine. Not from my forces, at least.”

    Furina sagged with relief. The stress she had been holding in her body since first being called to Neuvilette’s office flowed out of her like an overfilled water balloon that had finally popped.

    “There is, of course, one condition for my protection…”

    “Anything,” Furina blurted, her heart racing like a million pitter-patters.

    “You will marry Arlecchino.”

    The Knave, an ever-immovable force who had been oh-so silent for the last hour, promptly choked on her tea.

    Or: When the Tsaritsa's war against the world threatens the shores of Fontaine, Furina is forced back into diplomatic matters, tasked with keeping the Fatui away from Fontaine. All goes well until the Tsaritsa demands that Furina and Arlecchino marry in exchange for Fontaine's safety. Frankly, Furina's life must be some sort of cosmic joke.

    Summary

    From the moment she wakes up, an AI automaton provided to the Criminal Investigation Department, Qingyi has been haunted by memories of a woman with red eyes. The very existence of these memories is illogical, impossible, but when she meets a woman with those exact red eyes, Qingyi cannot help but want to believe in fate.

    "The edge of the teacup touches Zhu Yuan’s lips. She waits, barely breathing, as the other woman slowly opens her mouth. Carefully, delicately, she tips it. The tea is a very pale color, the gentle fragrance wrapping around them like a blanket.
    She rights the teacup again immediately, not wanting to burn Zhu Yuan’s tongue. She watches as Zhu Yuan’s eyes flutter shut - were her eyelashes always this long? Her throat bobs as she swallows, and for some strange reason, it feels unbearably erotic."
