    Summary

    He held A-Ling’s little body for hours, rocked him gently in his arms. He held A-Ling until the moment the late night inched into the next morning.

    This time, Jiang Cheng was awake when the world shifted. It took only seconds. The weight of his nephew vanished from his arms. The room around him warped, twisted, contracted.

    He opened his eyes, eyes he hadn’t closed, to morning light in his rooms at Golden Scale Tower.

    Yesterday. Again.
    -----
    There are many contenders for the worst day of Jiang Cheng's life.

    The Nightless City discussion conference has just won.

    And then he wakes up, and it hasn't happened yet. Jiang Cheng soon realizes that, against all odds, he's repeating one day, seemingly the only person who remembers the times before.

    Is it a curse? A second chance? A sick trick from a cruel spirit?

    Whatever the reason, one truth remains: Jiang Cheng has never been good at giving up, even when he can't seem to win.

    Summary

    Jin Ling’s needs were constant and repetitive; they ran like a lifeline through Jiang Cheng’s days. He didn’t need to see past the next feeding, the next changing. He didn’t need to persuade himself to get out of bed in the morning; sooner or later Lingling would cry, and he would find he could move after all. In the middle of the night, when neither of them could sleep, he paced up and down the room, holding Lingling to his chest, whispering, “Jiujiu’s here. I won’t leave you alone. I promise.”
    ---
    Jiang Cheng knew Lan Zhan had been seeing way more of Wei Ying than he had, but it still burned: Lan Zhan’s easy familiarity with Wei Ying’s household, with his thoughts. I’m the one that grew up with him. He was mine first.

    Summary

    The thing is: a heart is a fragile creature. The fact that it can be repaired after the fact does not change this.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is so beautiful - the imagery of organs and moths turns grief into old magic.
