The platform wasn't too far away from him, and when he turned to catch a look at it, he saw two policemen positioning themselves, taking out a board to read from. Behind them, two more officers led a person up to the platform, and it immediately dawned on Luhan. He'd run into a public execution.

Hello~
Here's something I've been relentlessly working on for the past months, driven by deadlines and rushing to get it done despite everything being so, so stressful.
This probably soudns like a brooding, sad story, but I was actually inspired by Howl's Moving castle, and can't even think of any warning. There's mentioned , but it's really nothing wild.

It's also my first time in 5 or so years, writing Xiuhan, and it's a really fun ship. 10/10, would recommend.

Thanks to my beta Nat for seeing this through despite me being difficult and thanks a lot to Sarah for encouraging me when I really needed it.

This story is going to have 13 chapters and I'll post one per day cause why not?

As usual goes.... that if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, here or on cc!
Love you all and Happy Halloween,
Sugar~
