Catfe Gerdri
A small cafe opened its doors onto its friendly little street. Inside it was selling hot drinks with funny names to make its clientele laugh for the season. There were pumpkin drinks and apple drinks, drinks made with coffee, drinks made with tea but the real draw was its cats. There were cats of all sizes and all needed to be pet and loved on. They were even autumn colours; creams and whites, gingers and deep browns. Some of them were up for adoption and had little red collars on with little golden bells. They looked fancy and neat and ready to travel.

In the cool autumn air, come in for a hot drink, meet fellow travellers, and stay for the fabulous company of Mrs Gerdri’s cats. If you’re looking for a job, the cat lady herself is hiring! Must love cats.

Harvest Festival
Gather around! It’s that time of year of harvest and merriment that no other season can do just right! It’s the Harvest Festival in Gazin, of course! There’s games and prizes to be won, music and laughter, magic to be seen, and all sorts of harvest foods to be had. Try some cake, have some bread, make something magical for a friend!

Whatever you choose, leave room for dancing because Gazin sure goes all out with spectacle and music and their finest of beers. There’s something for everyone at the Harvest Festival, which will run for six weeks before it’s done.

Gazin’s Shield Day
Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, Xue Yang, Wen Kexing, Zhou Zishu, Merlan O’Keefe and many other locals have been busy for quite some time working on a citywide shielding project for Gazin. On this day, they’re making it official with the revealing of the project in its final state. It’s enough of an accomplishment that it’s become a bonafide celebration in itself. There will be a magic fireworks display as well as festivities. With so many talented magic users in on this feat, its success is assured.

Monsters beware, Gazin is now officially protected!

Xingchen is so thoughtful of others, ready to endure isolation, discomfort and pain in order to make those around him more comfortable. But Zichen is sensitive to how his soulmate feels and Xingchen has no need - no reason - to hide from him. Thus the bandage is removed and placed on a table. He then cups Xingchen's beautiful face between his hands, pressing a kiss to each eyelid. Softly.

"You don't need to hide from me." he smiles shakily, gathering his poor sweet mate into his arms, "The sacrifice you made for me... I've never forgotten. Thank you." his voice shakes with tender emotion, "Let me love you."

One of his hands falls to tug on the tie around Xingchen's waist.

[cantseeyoursin]

He wraps his arms around Zichen, feeling that warmth as those kisses land on that sensitive part of his face. Hearing the emotion and the love in Zichen's voice. He is ready to let the other man love him, to be completely his not only in soul and heart but in body as well. He realizes he has probably been ready for far longer but was just too worried that he didn't deserve to have so much.

One hand comes up to run along Zichen's trim on his robes, following it up Zichen's chest. Tentative but exploring. "I'm ready to let you have everything." Said softly, but firmly as he lets his hand rest against Zichen's neck.

[zichen]

Xingchen deserves all he can give. He holds his breath as his soulmate's delicate hand explores him. Then he smiles, broadly, bringing Xingchen's hand up so he can feel the expression. Zichen's heart hammers in his chest and he makes a quick decision, flushing.

"I have taken your blindfold from you. Let me be as open with you." he brings Xingchen's hands up and kisses those palms. Then he begins to undress, untying his robe and letting it fall from his shoulders. With each move, he encourages Xingchen to touch him, to feel the fabric stripped away.

[cantseeyoursin]

He smiles as he feels that expression beneath his hand. Letting his thumb pass over that set of lips and feeling that smile beneath the skin before his hands are moving down again. He lets fingers feel along the skin that has been revealed. He holds his breath as fingers feel along Zichen's collarbones and then down the smooth shoulders.

He lets the air out of his lungs slowly as he brings his hands back up to flatten his palms against Zichen's chest. Part of him can't believe they have gotten to this point.

[zichen]

He loves watching Xingchen explore and when that sweet hand settles on his chest, he understands. Covering Xingchen's fingers with his own, giving them a little squeeze, he presses a soft kiss to his soulmate's lips.

"I belong to you. I always have." Zichen counts that as one of his unchangeable truths. He gently guides Xingchen's hand lower, down his abdomen.

"Since you can't see me, you must build a picture in your mind." he brings their foreheads together, "Do I suit you, Xingchen?"

[cantseeyoursin]

Resting his forehead against Zichen those hands continue their exploration with the guidance of the other man's. "Of course you do. You are my perfect match. I don't need eyes to know that. I've always felt it."

Which is why being apart was so difficult. Not a day went by that he didn't think about Zichen and miss him with every piece of his soul. AN ache that can only be healed with him back by his side. He feels more complete now then he ever has before.

Fingers trace over muscle, hands smoothing over hip bones and following the curve.

[zichen]

"And you are mine." Zichen sighs softly, happily under those exploring hands, running his fingers over Xingchen's back and through his long hair, "I belong to you and with you."

All of him. Every...single...part. Flushing darkly, he guides Xingchen's hand to his thigh...and then between his legs. His arousal is real and an effect of his love for his soulmate.

"I can be...like this...with you now. And I want to be."

[cantseeyoursin]

He sucks in his breath as his fingers feel along that stiffened member. Exploring a part of Zichen that he has never known before. Feeling the heat in his cheeks as he slowly wraps those fingers around it to feel it more fully, a gentle stroke over the flesh as if testing to see what kind of reaction that it might get.

"I want to be like this with you as well. I'm sorry...that it took so long to get to this point."

That his own insecurities and guilt has kept him from pursuing this sooner. But perhaps that is simply just how things were meant to go. SO that they can enjoy this more fully.
