Feral alphas are devastatingly violent, brutally vicious and absolutely loyal. To have one under your control means great power. Kinn has been looking for his own for years now. He just didn't think he'd find it in a mouthy beta that tricks him out of his favorite watch.

Summary The novel starts with Jun Huailang and his 300+ family members and servants about to be beheaded in the city square for framed treason, all because of the new tyrant prince regent Xue Yan. In despair, Jun Huailang dies, and then when he opens his eyes again, he’s in a strange place, and sees two immortals arguing over something. A book falls to the ground and JHL picks it up, and then realizes that it’s a book - a book of which Xue Yan and JHL’s younger sister are the protagonists of. It’s basically a gouxie, angsty porn with plot novel between them and JHL and the rest of his family are basically cannon fodder and plot devices meant to move this ill-fated love and romance along. As JHL reads, the angrier he gets, because Xue Yan incarcerates his sister and she becomes his play thing, and the worst thing is that she ends up falling in love with him and willingly letting him trample all over her body and herself. As the immortals realize that there’s a lone soul that’s not been collected, they’re about to collect him when an accident happens - his soul is sent back in time, a few years back, before tragedy happens. A bitter, resentful JHL is intent on getting revenge on Xue Yan, and because of this, he turns up at an event that evening that would change the course of history in his past life. Instead of never having know Xue Yan, JHL meets a much younger Xue Yan for the first time as a bunch of other eunuchs and the 2nd prince is bullying him. Xue Yan is the neglected and initially abandoned 5th prince due to a deliberate prophecy that said he was meant to curse his father, the Emperor, and so Xue Yan grows up in another country owned by his uncle, who brings him under strict regiment and trains him for war. His uncle hates his father, and vice versa, and when he’s a teenager, the Emperor sends the army to eradicate his uncle under framed treason, and he would have died, but crawls his way back to the imperial city. The Emperor has no choice but to take him in, but that’s all he does - he cares naught for his son and wouldn’t care if he really died, and so lets all his other sons bully him, and even punishes him to the verge of death a few times without even checking if Xue Yan was maligned or not. JHL has never seen a Xue Yan like this - a weak, abandoned dog that anyone can step on - and initially, he stands by as Xue Yan is obviously bullied, trying to convince himself that this boy will end up becoming a tyrant and his enemy, but the more he sees Xue Yan, he realizes that Xue Yan was also forced and manipulated to some extent to become the cold, crazy Emperor that he was in his past life. At some point, JHL decides to be a positive force of good in his life, and if Xue Yan doesn’t do any evil, he’ll not fault Xue Yan for his past life’s crimes. To Xue Yan, JHL is a sudden, unexpected and treasured light for him in the darkest of his days, and he knows he will never let JHL go. He falls for him, as JHL also starts realizing that all he thinks about is Xue Yan in years of absence - and the more he falls for him, the more JHL thinks that the ‘book’ he read was farce, because he cannot think of any way that Xue Yan would have abused his sister that way, no matter how far he was pushed.

Kirk and Spock discuss old history.

“Holy—shit,” Stiles breathed, Bacon stopping in what he was doing, still staring at him intently, as if begging him to understand, for someone to finally understand. Stiles felt like he’d been electrocuted and he leapt out of his chair, kneeling in front of Bacon and grabbing at his furry face. “Holy shit! Oh my God, are you—wait, holy—you’re not fucking with me, right?!” Bacon let out two quick barks, which Stiles chose to interpret as ‘no.’ “Oh my God, are you a real person in there?!” Stiles shouted in the wolf’s face, staring him right in the eye. He was still holding the wolf’s head with both hands, but Bacon dipped his muzzle in confirmation and Stiles officially lost his mind. “Oh my God!” he shouted again, releasing Bacon to clutch at his own hair. “Oh my God! Dude, for real?! You’re—holy shit! Holy shit!” He didn’t know how to react to this news. He had no fucking idea how to react. This was a person?! But how?! How was this a person?! People didn’t just turn into wolves!

Porsche has never minded being an Omega. Truthfully, it’s often worked out in his favor ever since he presented – maybe even before that if he’s honest. As a child he’d gotten away with a lot by simply letting his eyes grow a bit wet and putting on his best trembling lip. Alphas, Betas and even other Omegas have a biological drive to protect and nurture Omegas; to see them happy. It’s also been a boon on his tip making capabilities working in bartending. He was interested in bartending since he was younger; enjoyed the calm space he was able to go to sometimes when he was making a drink. He especially loved testing his limits and trying out new concoctions. Several of the specialty drinks at Hum Bar were Porsche’s own creation. Tonight, however, calm wasn’t on the menu.

The first time he met the Theerapanyakun family, Porsche had been chucked in at the deep end. This time he knew the sharks he swam with, he wouldn’t let them see him bleed. After being shot in the head, Porsche found himself waking up a week before his and Kinn’s showdown in the back alley. With more information on the family he would choose to protect and the man he fell in love with, things maybe easier this time around. (Knowing his luck, probably not.)

"He doesn’t do that kind of thing." What Yok means when she tells Kinn this: Porsche doesn’t engage in sex work. What Kinn hears when Yok tells him this: Porsche doesn’t take men as clients. One day, Porsche is struggling to make ends meet, enjoying the occasional hook-up in the back of Yok’s bar. The next, Anakinn Theerapanyakul is offering him an obscene amount of money to get added to his roster of “friends”. The money’s good, the sex is better, there’s no way that this can backfire, right?

“The entry requirement to be accepted into the manor.” Lan Zhan still wasn’t looking at Wei Ying. “It’s a legitimacy test for entering couples.” “Legitimacy test,” Wei Ying echoed. “To prove we are, without deception,” Lan Zhan said. A small swallow. “Intimate.” — When a series of local couples go missing, longtime cultivation partners Wei Ying and Lan Zhan investigate. It was probably unrealistic to expect it would go without a hitch.

“You’ve been exposed to a novel form of radiation,” M'Benga explains. “It seems to prevent you from sleeping, and yet requires sleep in order to leave your system. One thousand hours of it, by my estimate.” “Hell of a catch-22,” Jim jokes, but his smile feels weak. “Indeed,” M’Benga agrees, somber. “It’s lucky we have a Vulcan on the crew – we've found that despite the radiation, you’re able to sleep with the assistance of a meld.”

if anyone wants a full list heres how they happened: basically they all stem from a massive eruption of a volcano on the island of santorini off the coast of greece. the ash then floated over to egypt which kickstarted the plagues 1) blood: the ash carried the mineral cinnabar, which has the capability of turning water red 2) frogs: the ash also had many toxic and acidic substances so naturally, all the frogs are gonna flee the river 3) lice: given what was going on insects would have burrowed into dead animals/peoples skin and laid eggs, which then hatched 4) beasts: everything is getting poisoned from the ash and toxins, causing animals to freak the fuck out/die 5) pestilence: toxins again 6) boils: the ash would have caused storms that carried acid rain which when it fell, would irritate peoples skin causing boils 7) hail: the storm again 8) locusts: again with the insects and the amount of dead bodies and such which attract more insects. a lotta insects basically. 9) darkness: the ash covered the sky, blocking out the sun 10) slaying of the first born: given that children’s bodies were found in higher numbers than others, some archeologists think they may have been sacrificed to stop all the destruction, but they aren’t 100% sure about that. this is just me but I would say another possibility is that babies/kids are a lot more susceptible to toxins and shit, so while an adult may have been fine or gotten a bit sick, it might have been very dangerous/deadly for kids or babies the volcano would also attest for the parting of the sea weirdly enough. the red sea was in fact the ‘reed’ sea, and was very shallow, probably waist deep or so. given the amount of shit dumped into the ocean from the volcano, this wouldve caused a tsunami to head towards egypt. the water would get sucked out from the reed sea right before the tsunami hit, letting people pass it easily, then the actual tsunami would hit, fuckin up anyone who tried to follow. another theory is that the red water was caused by algae, which would cause the frogs and stuff to jump out as well. the algae also carried substances toxic to animals so if they ingested any they’d get sick and die, so more insects. in this theory there was a sand storm coincidentally that caused the rest

“Ahaha, Lan Zhan, why? You couldn’t possibly have unrequited feelings for someone. Who could look at the beautiful and impressive Hanguang-jun and not immediately fall to their knees, begging for just a glance, just a moment of your time?” -- Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a spirit whose deepest wish is to matchmake.

Shen Yuan transmigrates into the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way as the villain Shen Qingqiu, but there is no System to guide or punish him. So what does he do? He gets the hell out of dodge.

"Lan Zhan? What are you doing here?" Wei Ying squints in the darkness at the figure approaching him, second-guessing himself for a moment before the figure steps out into the narrow pool of light that Wei Ying is casting with his phone, and sure enough: tall, clothed all in white, mouth set in a thin line, watching Wei Ying with judgmental eyes. Great. Just great. It's not that Wei Ying has anything against Lan Zhan—on the contrary. But they aren't exactly on the best terms these days, and Wei Ying needs this job. Lan Zhan getting in the way will just complicate matters. Or, a spontaneous night hunt together leads to unexpected results.

When Luo Binghe’s volatile attitude makes him a liability in battle, the warrior mers he'd been in a pod with send him away to live a quieter life in Shen Qingqiu’s research focused pod. It’s assumed that Shen Qingqiu will be able to tame Luo Binghe, to make him something useful again, and eventually the warrior mers will be able to take him back. Shen Qingqiu tames Luo Binghe just as planned! He tames him a bit too well, though, and now Luo Binghe is in love with him. Whoops!

Lan Zhan looks down at the essay. He doesn’t get any further than the name before he hears the soft sound of fabric rustling from the doorway. The second set of breathing betraying that he is no longer alone. Before Lan Zhan can turn, an aching familiar voice says, “Hello, stranger.” Every nerve in his body locks down for impact. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Eight years after their breakup, Wei Ying shows up to collect on an old agreement: if they aren’t married by 30, they’ll marry each other.

Sex worker Wei Ying, wary after a previous client got too clingy, connects with Lan Zhan, a client who, thankfully, wants no-strings sex: no flirting, no flattery, just turn up, be fucked, then leave. It's perfect for Wei Ying, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

“Because Wei Wuxian is absolutely without shame, on the very day after their confrontation in the library Lan Wangji finds him poring over yet another filthy piece of literature with his useless friend Nie Huaisang, both of them giggling like fools. Where do they even get these things from, Lan Wangji wonders, and then shakes his head, minutely. Of course two such unfocused degenerates would be more interested in smuggling pornography into Cloud Recesses than developing their cultivation. Here they have the opportunity to learn from the best teachers Gusu has to offer, and they would rather waste their time and spiritual energy on total decadence. And besides, the artwork isn’t even that good.” Teen Lan Wangji learns some unexpected things about Wei Wuxian, burns with the purest horny fury, and is forced to share a bed on three separate occasions, with predictable results.

Jiang Cheng and Wei WuXian are sent back to the past. This time, they can save everyone they love. They can make the right choices. They can learn to trust one another. However, everything comes with a price.

Lotus seeds have been known to wait for years in bone-dry dirt, only to be broken open again by flood. And Jiang Cheng has always been a son of Lotus Pier.

Lan Zhan wants to get married. Wei Ying wants to know why.

Lan Zhan comes to London to pet sit for his brother. Huaisang persuades him that his friend Wei Ying can stay too. Wei Ying is an art student who goes to bed at the same time Lan Zhan gets up. Sometimes he is only wearing pants. It is absolutely intolerable, but the cat likes him.

There’s movement in Bank’s peripheral vision, and fuck, thank god, but fuck, Mr. Kinn is standing there in the doorway, warily taking in the scene. “Porsche,” he says. It’s completely neutral, an invitation for explanation. Bank pants for breath and calculates his best chance of stopping Mr. Porsche if he tries to swing Bank’s gun toward Mr. Kinn. Based on the way this has gone so far, his odds aren’t great. “Kinn,” Mr. Porsche answers cheerfully. “We were just waiting for you.”

“Relax.” Kinn leans on the counter. “I just want to talk.” Porsche wills his beating heart to calm down, hoping his voice is steady when he asks, “You want your watch back, right?” He has the audacity to laugh. “No, but I do have an offer for you.” “An offer?” Kinn smiles up at him, his ringed finger tapping against the glass. "Be my fiancé." Or, when forced into an arranged marriage, Kinn needs someone to play his fiancé. The perfect candidate comes to him in the form of a certain bartender demanding fifty-grand.

Kinn is, by far, the classiest client Porsche has ever had.
