"You think I've shot six shots just now or five, huh? Feeling lucky, punk?!"

As the weight of her body pressed down on my chest and cold iron pressed against my temple...you know what? I was feeling lucky. I pushed my head up to kiss her rough.

Click.

This is the book that proved to me that Meatbun is a MUCH sharper writer than a lot of people might give her credit for. During the reading of the letter, I thought back on all the tiny little details throughout the series that set up this twist and my jaw dropped! Maybe my favorite volume of BAB!

The cover of Case File Compendium (Bing An Ben) volume 7 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou. Two men stand in a small room, awash with blue light, with a table in the background and a kitchen counter in the foreground. The man in front, wearing a white shirt (Xie Qingcheng) is trying to pour a cup of tea. The man behind him, wearing a black shirt (He Yu), is clinging to him by the waist and pressing his face into his collar. Ethereal jellyfish float through the space.

"Awaken."

My arms raised as wind billowed about me, sending my tattered cloak flying. I could feel the amulet tearing at my soul as my will reached beyond the veil to ferry my charge. She stared at me with hollow eyes.

W-wait, hang on. What a cutie?!

As I grasped the sword hilt emerging from her chest, my eyes widened with wonder. I paused to take in the moment.

"It's...just like in the anime..."

"Can you shut the f*ck up..." she hissed, "And just go ahead and---stop resting your arm on my boob!"

The cold sea filled my nose, my throat, my ears and my eyes. For a moment it was all there was to the world, ice and salt; for a moment i was sure I would become one with it. Then an arm reached down to pull me into air, and I clung to it like a kitten.

Happy International Women's Day, women!

We lay there and watched as motes of dust floated through the sunbeam above our head.

"Hey," I said, "Do you wanna go to the International Women's Day march?"

"Uuuurgh, But then we have to put on clothes, and figure out where we're eating lunch, and-"

"Thanks for coming over," she said, without looking up from her laptop, "Sorry about the mess."

I stared down at the sea of empty cup noodles and empty blind boxes that separated us. You couldn't see the floor.

"Are you like...doing okay?"

"Yeah...?"

Happy DYMF 20! This is continuation of #10. Girls doesn't look like a real word to me anymore. To be continued...?

I watched her lips move as she spoke.

"It's just like, it's not that I DON'T identify as butch, right like that's kinda what I am, but it's also like, I also don't? I don't like the baggage but also the baggage is important."

I blinked. "Sorry, what?"

Aaah I love this book so much! What an absolutely perfect second half of the series; the first half took such care to set up so many threads, and this book weaves them together perfectly. If part 1 is some of JLFX's best comedy, this is some of her best romance, it's heartbreaking. ALSO BIG SNAKE!!!

The cover of Love Between Fairy and Devil (Cang Lan Jue) volume two, by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang. It features a black, white, and red illustration of a sharp and smiling man with pale skin, a woman wrapped loosely in his arms. His black robes are flowing with bright red inner robes. The woman is in white robes with her hair in buns and a braid, looking back at the man with an unsure expression as a flower dissolves in her outstretched hand. The title is rendered in an elegant cursive.

Blades of red and black flashed through the air, sending glares of white light flying. The two warriors were evenly matched; But with one decisive strike the student broke through, sending her master to her knees. The ping pong ball rolled away languid.

More context: A couple times a year, we host an online Splatoon-themed Riichi Mahjong tournament, and Kit always does an elaborate key art painting for it. We really sweated it out to get this done, but it looks great!

Guys from left to right: Toku, Jin, The Debutante, Suna, Kumo. They/them for all

Five Splatoon-style figures stand in an elaborate ballroom, four of them dancing in pairs in the foreground and one standing in the background. On the left are Jin and Toku, two octolings in traditional Japanese style dress patterned with plum blossoms, Toku lifting an excited Jin. On the right are Suna and Kumo, an octoling and an inkling in 70s style American formal wear patterned with peacock feathers, Suna dramatically dipping Kumo. Behind them up a short staircase is The Debutante, in a plaid dress and shadowed by a large hat, fanning themselves with a fan patterned like a Chinese four. In the center of the image is a logo that looks like a letter and an envelope. The letter says "Takoyaku Be-Four the Night is Over..." in elegant cursive and the envelope is sealed with a wax crest featuring a Chinese four stylized to look like a fan.

I DID NOT DRAW THIS, my very talented friend Kit did. Go check them out on tumblr! But I did do art direction for it, so it's technically in my portfolio.

With all the noise and warmth of the ball at my back, I breathed mist into the cold February air.

"Excuse me."

When I turned, her shimmering golden dress, her radiant sunlit smile, outshone everything behind her. Beautiful.

"Would you like to dance?"

The smell of incense, lush and warm.
The sound of a quill, scratching diligently.
The taste of plums, sweet and overripe.
The light dappling in through layers of gauze.
A knuckle on her forehead, she heaves a sigh.
I rush to my knees, eager to attend.

Just as I was almost out of the woods (figuratively and literally) an orange shape jumped from the brush and tackled me to the ground. I forgot to yell- suddenly I was being pinned down by a strange feline woman, her ears twitching and her tail swaying.

"I'm home!"

The sound of the door closing was accompanied by the jingle of keys as she hung them on the hook.

"Heeey! How was swimming lessons?"

"Good! I almost drowned!"

I lowered my book and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, you almost drowned?"

"Yeah!"

Behind me, echoing softly across the plastic walls of the ship, came the quiet sound of a plasma pistol powering up. I whirled around, but the snubnose was already at my forehead.

"Can we talk now?" she grinned.

"You'll kill us both if y-"

"So what?"

Walking through the woods, I had long lost any semblance of the path. Autumnal leaves drifted down around me as I forged through bushes and roots. The air was thick with birdsong.

Something joined them: The halting chords of a nearby practicing guitar.

"Let's go!" she shouted through her headset. "Let's f*king go! Yes yes ye- ow!"

"You okay?" I asked, still laughing.

"Yeah I just punched my desk. But did you see that Mina ult?! Wiped their whole f*cking team!"

"Mina Haaa," I guttered.

"MINA HAAA-"

I was still warming up to the series while I was working on this, but man, what a strong end to the second act! After a very plot and action heavy second act, and leading into a VERY plot heavy third act, I really respect the decision to slow down and get our boys' emotional chess pieces in place.
