    Summary

    Sunday stumbles upon something he was never meant to see the city’s most admired figure, standing over a lifeless body in the dead of night. What should have been a moment to run becomes the beginning of something far worse. Ashveil doesn’t silence him. Instead, he lets him live—with a condition.

    Silence, in exchange for blood.

    What follows is no longer just fear, but a quiet entrapment, as Ashveil draws him deeper into a private arrangement bound by secrecy and control, Sunday finds himself caught between survival and something far more unsettling—the realization that being spared might be worse than being killed.

    Summary

    “I don’t possess the spirit of the Trailblaze,” Sunday would say. “This is an opportunity I am immensely grateful for, however brief, and one I promise not to take for granted.”

    The echoes of the past are too loud to ignore. Seeking refuge on the Express, hurting and distrustful, eyes of red forever haunting his dreams-

    Dan Heng remembers too much. It is all embedded in Permanence, the good and the bad, and while time erodes even the hardiest scales it does not soften Remembrance’s bite. He took a first step, too, all those months ago, a first unsteady step onto this train and amidst people he didn’t feel worthy of.

    Summary

    "You've been doing that a lot," Stelle states it like a fact once Sunday leaves the car, book in hand. The room feels dimmer all of a sudden, and Dan Heng isn't sure why. Another thing to ponder.

    "Do what?" Dan Heng knows perfectly well what she's talking about, and he knows she knows he knows what she's talking about. Regardless, Dan Heng finds himself being evasive with no clear purpose. It feels a tiny bit strange.

    "Look at people like they're a chess game you're about to lose," They say, eyeing the actual chess game in front of them with a disgruntled expression.

    "Also," She says, totally nonchalant. "Dan Heng has been staring at Sunday like he's a particularly delicious piece of meat."

    "Huh!?" March squeaks, her eyes wide and unblinking as she stares at her.

    "Huh?" Dan Heng echoes, willing the heat that is now slowly creeping up his neck to dissipate.

    "Huh?" Stelle blinks at them, as if they hadn't said that insane string of words.

    Or: Sunday joins the Express. Dan Heng is immediately obsessed.

    Summary

    “Sunday, did you know...” Aventurine trails his lips down to Sunday’s neck, scattering light kisses along the side. “...your wings flap when you’re excited?”

    Summary

    “A slump that has spanned years isn’t going to be so easily gotten over,” Sunday says, voice hushed and strained. “It might even be impossible. I, um, I appreciate your faith in me, but it’s hardly realistic.”

    “I’ve been told as much before about other things.” Dan Feng brushes him off with ease. “Do you have a point?”

    “I’m just concerned about wasting your time,” Sunday says, voice smoothing out as he remembered exactly how to speak with such people. “I haven’t written in so long, and I haven’t written anything good in an even longer stretch of time. For years I agonized over this, and it hasn’t been that long since I’ve resigned myself to failure. While I appreciate your faith and consideration, I worry about disappointing you. I’ve already disappointed so many people, sir. What makes you think you won’t be any different?”

    “I simply do not think it.”

     

    Sunday is a retired author later turned casual editor for his acquaintance Dan Heng. Dan Feng is Dan Heng's estranged older twin who has discovered Sunday's previous work, and he wants more! Dan Feng is pushy, irritating, unsettling, and far too captivating. Can Sunday overcome self-doubt and writer's block at the behest of such a person?
