    Summary

    “Your Highness, you surely shouldn’t worry about this creature. The ones who interact with them most in their home region say they eat men and sink ships. It’s alright to leave it to the kitchens, or the maids-”

    Prince Jing could only reach forward a hand to poke at the mermaid's tail, uncertain why he felt compelled to do such a thing. He did it before even realizing what he’d done. The fin he’d poked twitched faintly, a weak lift and tap against the floor, despite the fact the mer is visibly unconscious.

    Blowing a hard sigh through his nose, Prince Jing simply scoops the little, injured, and fully konked out mer into his arms, and heads towards the garden, for the nearest pond. Wang Xi can only sigh internally. That decides that.

    Or:
    That time Li Yu transmigrated- but as a mermaid! A twist on the original story; Li Yu must use his fish charms to bring out the sweet side of the mute Tyrant, or risk becoming fish bones and fish ash!

    Summary

    “So, I wanted to ask—“ Firefly stopped abruptly and looked up at him. Her sunrise eyes burned with that flame that shone so brightly from her candlewick life. “No, first I need to apologize if my questions get too personal. If they do, you can tell me to drop it and I will. I don’t want to bring up bad memories.”

    It seemed rather pointless for her to care about something like that. What did Blade have left of himself at this point other than the memories that cut into him? The pain was all that remained in this shell.

    “Go on,” he told her.

    “Does it ever get easier? Having someone you love look at you like a stranger?”

    Summary

    “Binghe,” Shizun says, quite sternly. “Would I have married you if I held even a speck of dislike for you?” Luo Binghe’s eyes go wide and wet, and Shizun’s expression tinges with bemusement, eyebrows drawing in. “Silly thing, you can’t think I don’t mean it?”

    “Of course Shizun means it,” Luo Binghe says, and oh, the words come out a bit numbly. He only just manages to stop himself from saying the next part aloud: He’s just mistaken.

    (Of course he knows, of course everyone knows—the distasteful thing at the heart of Luo Binghe, the rotten core of him. His Shizun’s capacity for loving mercy knows no bounds; that doesn’t mean he, too, doesn’t know.)

    In which Luo Binghe learns, again, that he is loved.

    Summary

    “I made you ‘Love for All Seasons’ stew,” Xie Lian says.

    Hua Cheng makes an odd sort of choking noise that the sound department either will or will not be generous enough to edit out during post-production. “It’s beautiful.”

    Lan Wangji regards the stew. “This looks like it was regurgitated.”

    Summary

    Xie Lian talks as Hua Cheng runs his fingers through his hair. He talks as his husband undoes the bun atop his head and lets the strands fall loose; he keeps talking and Hua Cheng continuously kisses the top of his head and he is always, always, hanging off of each and every word.

    Hua Cheng lets him just talk, for hours and hours (which, Xie Lian does not know how long it’s been, and Hua Cheng does not dare disturb him, because the look on his beloved’s face, the way his eyes light up with each trinket and the way he is so passionate about mere scraps just makes Hua Cheng so happy to see his beloved having fun, that he wants Xie Lian to keep talking forever.)

    (Or, Xie Lian hasn't had someone who would listen to him talk for over 800 years, and now that he has his beloved husband, he may end up talking a bit too much. Hua Cheng eagerly listens to every word.)
