    Summary

    "Betrothed," Wei Ying says indignantly.

    Lan Wangji can't stop his gaze from darting up to him. Wei Ying understands. Wei Ying is looking at him, wide-eyed and upset on his behalf.

    "And you don't even like her," Wei Ying says.

    "I don't even know her," Lan Wangji says quietly.

    "But even if you did—" Wei Ying starts.

    "I wouldn't want this," Lan Wangji finishes.

    Summary

    “You’re going to stay anyway.“

    It’s not a question. Both Feng Xin and Mu Qing have tried to convince him to join them in heaven but he won’t. Shi Qingxuan knows they have little chance of convincing him to eschew solitude, Xie Lian’s mind is not easily changed once he’s decided.

    “I need to be here when he comes back,” Xie Lian says, dropping the cherry back into the basket. He seems to have lost whatever appetite he had a moment ago. “I want him to know that I waited.”

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is very familiar with waiting. His patience and unwavering devotion has withstood over 800 years, and awarded him the greatest gift of receiving Xie Lian's love.

    After their fated reunion, Hua Cheng and his beloved spend their days together within beautiful Mount Taicang and rediscover how it felt to be in each other's arms. Though ravaged with unbearable desire every single day, Hua Cheng masterfully controls himself and - if it comes to it - can wait 800 more years for Xie Lian's permission to have him.

    But Xie Lian doesn't share that extent of immeasurable patience. Rather, he has a harder time holding back what he really wants...

    Summary

    “Oh,” he exhales. “You’re not in love with me anymore.”

    Hua Cheng seems to come to perfect stillness, somehow, improbably more so than he was before.

    “I never was.”

    --
    A year after Jun Wu is defeated, Xie Lian sees the light of three thousand lanterns in the sky, and his heart rejoices. Hua Cheng is back! Only instead of running into Xie Lian's arms, he breaks up with him. Xie Lian is devastated, but that is only the beginning...

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have been best friends since childhood, the one person Xie Lian could always depend on. After high school, Hua Cheng leaves, asking Xie Lian to come with him. Xie Lian declines, scared of holding him back. Hua Cheng visits, and Xie Lian is always happy to have him sleep on his couch, and sad to see him go. His feelings, a crush which has grown into unrequited love, stay hidden.

    Until Hua Cheng comes back to handle his father’s death, and everything changes.
    ______________________

    “Hua Cheng, here to see my father,” Hua Cheng said as they stepped up to the counter. Xie Lian stood close, their fingers brushing.
    “Oh,” the mortician said, nodding as he looked over at some papers. When he looked back up, his gaze landed on Xie Lian. “And he is?”
    “I’m Xie Lian,” he answered with a polite smile. The mortician frowned, looking over at Hua Cheng.
    “Only immediate family can come into the back with the deceased,” he said sharply. Hua Cheng’s brows rose, and then his left hand grabbed Xie Lian’s, their fingers tangling together.
    “He’s my husband,” Hua Cheng said, and Xie Lian felt like his knees might give out.

    Summary

    "In the distance, something caught his eye. There was an unassuming little peach tree on the side of a hill. He could feel something about it was unusual, a slight glow to it against the gloomy sky. As he drew closer he realized the tree was growing out of the massive hollow stump of an old dead one. Though it appeared ordinary, there was an energy to it- a very faint spark of the divine that drew Hua Cheng like a moth to a flame.

    He knew, whether intentional or not, this was a grave marker."

    A coffin rescue fic with an alternating PoV.
    Before he can begin to recover from his experience, Xie Lian first must accept he's actually out of the coffin. Hua Cheng wants to avenge his God, even if that's not what he would want.

    Don't worry too much about Lang Qianqiu. He'll have a bad time, but I promise I won't kill him.

    Summary

    All the feelings and desires that were just bubbling under surface are let loose with a simple kiss. A college AU of Hualian getting together, exploring the possibility to follow their hearts freely, to simply touch. Xie Lian works through his intimacy issues and being more honest with himself.

    ***

    San Lang pressed a wet kiss to his neck, right on the pulse point. “To me you could be one of the gods themselves,” he whispered.

    Why was Xie Lian so into this?

    He was hard again, breathless. He grabbed San Lang's face, pulling him in for a needy kiss. “And how would you worship your god?” he looked into his eyes, seeing the same wild spark.

    San Lang smirked.

    “Like any sinner,” he grabbed his chin, looking down at him, “I would get down on my knees.”

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

    Summary

    Even though there was wonder in his eyes, his temples twitched in confusion. All his dissociative questions battled and a victorious one was able to ride through his tongue.

    “Who am I?”

    Xie Lian extended him a hand, his palm open and his long, beautiful fingers welcoming his gaze. He seemed to have predicted Hua Cheng's current state of mind could happen. He flustered a bit, but didn't hesitate. “You’re my beloved husband, my dear. And my most loyal soldier. And my most devoted believer. You've been so brave, so good. You deserve all the kind things in this world.”

    Hua Cheng tells Xie Lian about his experience on the Land Of The Tender scene. Xie Lian wants him to know everything is fine, and has a soft spot for his dissociating husband.

    “Do you want me?” Hua Cheng asked, one shoulder bare. Eyes wide, Xie Lian nodded. Hua Cheng let his spiritual power swell behind the words. “I promise you. You can have every part.”

    Summary

    “Forgive me, Gege,” Hua Cheng says, and Xie Lian thinks it’s an apology until he continues, “for I have sinned.”

    Xie Lian takes a deep breath to compose himself before speaking. “Please tell your priest what it is that plagues you, so that I may confer an act of penance and propose an act of contrition.”

    Truthfully, Xie Lian is still unsure of whether Hua Cheng is actually religious, but this banter is too good to pass up, so if he plays up the act a little, well, at least the other person in the booth doesn’t comment on it.

    “I’m afraid it’s too blasphemous to say out loud."

    Summary

    Xie Lian was in an interesting mood tonight. Hua Cheng had been wrangled into a game of cat and mouse and was chasing Xie Lian around their home. Not that it bothered him. The elusive glimpses of his husband and the ghost trails of laughter were more than enough to ensnare him, but he was also fascinated by the idea of what he would get at the end should he be the victor. Never once did he entertain the idea of what would happen should he "lose."

    Summary

    "Mu Qing!" came Dianxia's sweet-sounding voice. "Where are you?" Hua Cheng's pulse sped up. His entire body was screaming for him to bolt down the stairs, flee as fast as he could. He could not be perceived. He would die if he were to be perceived. The soft steps, naked feet on tiles, came closer. Hua Cheng's ears were filled with rushing, his skin prickled all over. It was like tiny hands had grabbed his windpipe and were yanking it up and down. And then the prince came into view, wrapped in a bathrobe. His hair was out of its royal braid, hanging in loose black strands, stark against the white linen. He had the complexion of someone who had just walked out of a steam room, his cheeks and nose pink.

    "Mu Qing, I want-" Dianxia said and turned his head, looking up at Hua Cheng and pausing.

    Just like that, all the anxiety and fear drained out of Hua Cheng's body.

    He could not recall why he had been so terrified. He felt good. Safe. Dianxia smiled and his cheeks dimpled. His smile was so wide it pushed into his eyes, almost making them squint. Hua Cheng realized nobody had ever looked at him like this.

    "I know you!" Dianxia said. "You won't run again, will you?"

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian, strapped for cash and late paying his bills, makes a last ditch effort to sort his shit out.
    And sure, posing tastefully semi-nude for local photographer Hanguang Jun's "Bodies of Shanghai" collection wasn't quite what he'd had on his bucket list for this year. But when life throws him a curveball, you'd best bet he takes it with both hands.
