Here's a downloadable PDF for the first volume of No Paths Are Bound! It covers the entire book four arc drive.google.com/file/d/1RlfQu8…
Thanks so much to Imaginary and Ren for letting me their artwork from the story on the front and back covers! This is basically just a downloadable version since it's so long that it glitches on Ao3.
This is NOT a translation of canon TGCF.
There is a clickable table of contents, but that doesn't work when you're using preview view--you have to upload it into ibooks or a comparable application.
You can share the link, download it, do what you want with it, but it's not for commercial use.
It's a little awkward on e-readers because of the pdf file format--I wanted to share it as an epub, but google drive and adobe are in an enemies to lovers arc rn so a pdf was the best I could do

“Careful…” Feng Xin’s voice is strained, slightly nervous. “Be gentle…”
Mu Qing rolls his eyes, flicking to the next page it’s a flick of his thumb.
“You do realize he isn’t an /actual/ animal, don’t you?”
TAGS / CONTENT WARNINGS
Fengqing centered
NSFW, mentions of past CSA, PTSD, and violence
Feng Xin glances back over his shoulder with a scowl—though not so severe as he used to be.
He’s kneeling on the ground, hands carefully tucked under his son’s arms, holding him steady as he reaches out, eyes wide and curious, cooing as he pats tufts of red fur.
An interesting fact about the Heard/Depp trial is that the opening shot of this entire conflict was a sudden temporary restraining order filed during a divorce proceeding—a move that isn’t at all unusual
TRO’s require no proof of domestic violence having occurred, and while intended to protect women, they are sometimes used strategically during divorces in ways that are blatantly inappropriate.
Johnny Depp’s divorce lawyer seemed to imply this was the case during her deposition, and Amber Heard’s divorce lawyer is known for having a history of using aggressive, sometimes unprofessional tactics.
give me modern AU Hualian where Hua Cheng playfully plucks at his boyfriend's ponytail when he wants his attention and it's cute at first, but eventually turns into a hair pulling kink
It's not Hua Cheng's fault, his intentions were initially pure, it's just that one day he did it a little harder than usual while passing behind Xie Lian in the kitchen, his boyfriend let out this nice little gasp, and things...devolved.
and it's MESSY because sometimes Hua Cheng just does it as a playful greeting, and other times it's an indication that he's ready to GO (if you know what i mean) so sometimes Xie Lian just has a CONDITIONED RESPONSE
I think there’s a possibility that the leaking of the Supreme Court draft opinion could lead to Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Gorsuch leaving the majority before the decision is final, therefore changing the outcome of the case.
The Chief Justice Roberts cares way more about the court as an institution, and the leaked draft opinion has had such a horrific effect on the court’s credibility, it could be enough to push him back over the line.
And in Gorsuch’s case, he explicitly told senators in his confirmation hearing that he believed Roe was binding precedent, which one senator said was the deciding factor for her vote. It’s more likely the draft opinion will eventually be adopted, but not set in stone.
