Wei Ying leaned a little closer. "The conversation we're having right now is about how it turns out I'm a bearer and we weren't careful and I'm not expecting anything from you, but now that you're here you should know that I'm...ah...you know..."

"Pregnant," Lan Zhan said mechanically.

"Pregnant," Wei Ying agreed. "You knocked me up, Lan Zhan. Sorry."

love how "secret third thing" is genuinely the best way to describe whatever tf teenxian's feelings for teenji were

yes he had a crush and was helplessly infatuated, though not in a romantic way and also not in an entirely platonic way. it's all a secret third thing

the term "AI" has absolutely fucking ruined technological literacy

there's no set meaning for what AI actually is. you could be talking about anything from a language generation model to a program that can identify cancer cells and people will treat it like it's the same thing. and it's infuriating.

benoit blanc living across from a retired nate and sophie and instantly having beef with nate. they keep inviting each other over for dinner (sophie and phillip get along fabulously) and dinner keeps turning into a furious battle of wills as nate and benoit argue over courts of law, and more importantly what to do when such systems fail individuals. sophie and phillip blithely continue discussing what broadway production they might catch next over the sound of two brilliant minds whirring at 200 miles an hour

nate and sophie insist they dont have any children, but at irregular times of year and any hour of the night, they are visited by three young people. benoit manages to waylay the one named 'hardison' by the lifts, once; phillip catches 'eliot' out in the hallway grumpily fixing the doorbell to nate and sophie's apartment a few months later. the third, however, they've only ever glimpsed as a flash of a high ponytail, or squeezed between the other two, blocking her lithe frame from view.

(some nights they hear a yip of delight followed by a metallic zzzip going straight down past their windows, but that probably has nothing to do with anything)

sometimes, after cases that dont mete out the justice benoit knows the world deserves, or when a rich asshole has enough money and power up their sleeves to get away, despite it all, nate and sophie like to come by with dessert and sherry, and stay later than usual, until the whole affair entire is unravelled. a few weeks, sometimes months later, the inevitable happens - the rich asshole's web of lies pulls taut, exposing them to the authorities and the world in an almost ridiculous set of circumstances.

benoit likes to think of it as divine justice. phillip has his own suspicions.

To be clear: Benoit thinks it’s divine justice to let Sophie and Nate arrange for the consequences, when the victim isn’t in a position to do so and Benoit’s strictly legal means have been exhausted. Philip has his suspicions about exactly how many scruples Benoit has left about laws being broken.

Benoit, a good detective who is not stupid: look darling, that rich asshole's on TV for somehow revealing himself a money launderer! i always say bad people get whats coming to them

Phillip, an (allegedly) ex-jewel thief: yes dear, sophie stopped by with a new bottle of riesling for us and told me about it

Also to be clear nate and sophie are not involved in these cons; they are retired, sterling, as you damn well know. if nate has weekly calls with parker about...hypothetical thief stuff, thats nobodys business

my thoughts: prejxian fic based in London, has a hint of one night stands, a good read, one that doesn't get much attention in my opinion. I'm a Sucker for teacher wei ying.
