    Summary

    Xie Lian has learned to live without luck. Hardships no longer surprise him, nor do they break his spirit. Though the acts of compassion are rare, they're not negligible. So when he stumbles into a man, while trying to escape yet another misfortune, and is offered kindness out of boredom, Xie Lian doesn’t think much of it at first.

    The man is lonely and immortal. Just like him. What does it matter if he is dead, as long as they understand each other? He simply hadn’t expected to grow attached. Or to fall so completely for that dangerous charm. For the first time in centuries, the road no longer feels aimless with someone walking beside him. Abandoning his lifelong vows becomes an easy decision, even if one day the ghost realizes Xie Lian is not worth it.

    Or: Hua Cheng has no memories and no purpose, and the mysterious cultivator could be his undoing – or the cry for connection he has searched for centuries without ever knowing it.

    Summary

    “Thank you,” Wuming breathed. The words slid against Xie Lian's lips, the almost of a kiss that left tingles in its wake.

    “Uh huh.” What were we talking about again? “It- it was nothing.”

    Wuming retreated to a distance that didn’t tempt Xie Lian quite so much to dive back in. His lips were quirked faintly, his eye half-lidded. His gaze lingered on Xie Lian for a few moments before it dropped to the wad of fabric in his hand. Xie Lian took the chance to recompose himself.

    “...It’s really nothing special,” he said.

    “I love it.” Wuming’s voice brooked no quarter.

    -

    Xie Lian was not the only one with demons haunting him. He may not be able to exorcise them, but he can still try to help.

    Summary

    "I hope we'll meet again. And next time, I'll be kinder, I promise."
    I'll be someone worth following, he doesn't add, but can't help to think.

    The flower sways a little in the wind, as if answering and with a sad smile, Xie Lian gets to his feet.
    After one last look, he turns around to leave.
    He doesn't see a small light flickering to life above the flower.

    Or: Instead of completely dispersing, Wuming clings to a flicker of his powers, allowing him to accompany his beloved. As a butterfly.

    Summary

    Xie Lian gently pushed the molded, ashen door open with a loud creak and peeked his head out.

    His heart dropped.

    This was indeed the village of Puqi, or was. The entire village was destroyed, trees burnt, houses abandoned and covered in moss.

    or

    In another universe where Xie Lian never existed, left Hong'er to falling to his death with no one to catch him. Many years after the incident of Hong'er's death, a powerful crimson calamity leaves Xianle in ruins. Stripping Xianle of its wealth and fame, causing its residents to slowly die out.

    Xie Lian wakes up in said universe, one, with a splitting headache, and two, with no spiritual powers. It seems that in every universe, Xianle will always be led to its downfall.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng was staring, slack-jawed. He needed to put on a smirk and fire off one of those irreverent lines that Xie Lian found so irresistible. But his beloved was so beautiful like this, hair unbound and face cast in red from the light filtering through the gauzy curtains. His expression was so full of gentle affection that Hua Cheng’s first impulse was to hide, but where would he possibly go? Where in the world could be safer than in the arms of his god?

    “San Lang?” Xie Lian asked again.

    ---

    Eight centuries later, Hua Cheng is suddenly reminded of a very different night on Mount Tonglu. This time, he isn't alone.

    Summary

    Xie Lian is a dragon-god that rules the peak above Xianle, and the citizens are convinced that to appease and keep him (who they believe is an evil spirit) from destroying their kingdom is to give him human sacrifices.

    Little do they know, he has no intention of harming them or their sacrifices.

    One such sacrifice, he finds, is quite clingy.

    "I wanted to promote you to Guoshi, for saving my son and doing this country a great service… but—"

    The king looks unhappy.

    "The counselors are against it."

    It's understandable, Xie Lian thinks. After all, who in their right mind would promote a beggar, who coincidentally saved their son, to the title of state preceptor?

    Summary

    The first clone had made his heart stop.
    At that moment, of course, Xie Lian didn't know that the being beside him was a clone. He simply believed that he had finally gone mad. Terrified, distraught, and recently banished from the Heavens for the second time, all Xie Lian could feel when he saw the laughing and crying mask was terror.
    But the white-robed figure stood still, and when Xie Lian worked up the courage to tear off the mask, the resting face was all too familiar. It was a face he had seen over the years grow, mature, and become what it was today.
    It was his own face.

    Xie Lian exists with clones in his chaotic life the last eight hundred years. Well, three clones are simply nothing! They are a pleasant company, sometimes. Then, ascend for the third time, a fourth clone arises, and meeting San Lang does not make things easier.

    Bruce was so bored. That seemed to be the norm for a Justice League meeting.

    It wasn’t his first time visiting the team, after Clark introduced them he tagged along to some of the meetings as an almost member.

    He enjoyed listening to the happenings of each of the heroes…however…there wasn’t much going on recently and it was a whole lot of filler.

    So the whispering in his ears was even more distracting than normal.

    What do you mean you’ll just go to Gotham?” Green Arrow asked as soon as Clark let his solution slip.

    “Well- that’s where Batman is?”

    “Exactly. Why would you go to Gotham if Batman was there? How would getting yourself killed help us regain resources?”

    At that Clark was confused. “Because he’d get us new stuff?”

    The table tensed.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is overwhelmed by the constant pain of absorbing the Kiln’s power. It’s been pure agony ever since he jumped into Mount Tonglu’s opening.

    He gets no reprieve, even in unconsciousness. His brain takes the opportunity to torture him with reminder of all his failures: his dreams are filled with nothing but flashes of his beloved in pain. A torrent of painful memories.

    At least, that’s what they were at first.

    Something shifted, and now he can’t stop dreaming of a grassy field. A peaceful field where a certain god, clothed in white robes, appears.

    It’s paradise. A chance to see his beloved again.

    But of course, there’s a catch: Hua Cheng can’t control the form he takes in these dreams, and he finds himself transformed into the younger versions of himself.

    He’s overjoyed to see his god again, but…he keeps making his beloved cry from seeing his past selves.

    Maybe it is another torture.

    Summary

    “I see.” White No Face’s fingers tightened further until they’re digging bruises into Xie Lian’s skin even through his robes. “You still need more time.” Abruptly his grip eases and his voice warms once again. “You need more time so I will give it to you. I will give you all the time you need. Time apart from the world.” He leans forward then until the mouth of his mask is beside Xie Lian’s ear. “Time and sleep that only a kiss of mutual love can wake you from."

    Then his breath is ghosting over Xie Lian’s ear and Xie Lian is falling into darkness.

    Wuming is still gone.

    Summary

    He's tall, slender, donned in all dark, fitted clothes, with long hair held in a high ponytail, long strands brushing his back. The air leaves Xie Lian's lungs in a punch and he doesn't feel any filling them back.

    The man stands composed and almost foreign in the middle of the heckling vendors and loud clients, a lonely, tense figure amidst the vibrant mixture of colors and shapes of Ghost City's main street. Xie Lian stares at him with tears already stinging in his eyes, Hua Cheng's body deathly still behind him.

    It's a mere second before he starts running towards him.

    or: after the meeting at the Gambler's Den Xie Lian sees a man with a white mask and black clothes standing in the main street of Ghost City and mistakes him for Wuming. (Of course everyone is very chill about it.)

    Fuck. What /is/ he supposed to do with a kid? Hua Cheng glances around the room. “Do you want to watch TV?”

    Instantly Guzi brightens up, clapping his hands together. “PBS Kids?”

    “Sure, whatever you want.” Hua Cheng tells him and passes him the remote. Guzi takes it eagerly, turns the TV on and flicks it to the appropriate channel. Hua Cheng is already turning away, planning to leave the kid to it, when a familiar voice floats to him through the TV set.

    Summary

    Pei Xiu quickly changed his sword’s trajectory and swung with all his might. Only that, even after being fooled, the butterfly was still faster than him and easily fluttered away.

    “Not bad, so you can use your brain. But can you avoid this?”

    The butterfly changed its trajectory and flew towards Pei Xiu like a shooting star. It was going way too fast for Pei Xiu to dodge, so he raised his sword and prepared to take the hit.

    At that moment, a silver sword’s glare appeared from his left. It moved even faster than the butterfly and accurately sliced the insect in half.

    His saviour was wearing a helmet that made it hard to discern his identity. However, without even looking Pei Xiu knew that this soldier was Xie Lian.

    The butterfly master clapped his hands with a laugh. “So your friend also decided to come out. And here I though he was only planning to watch.”

    Xie Lian sheathed his sword and politely clasped his hands in greeting. “Sir, we mean no harm. It would be degrading for you to lower yourself to the level of mortals. Please let us go.”

    The man’s hands that had been clapping a moment ago froze mid-air. There was an obvious shift in atmosphere causing Xie Lian to turn wary.

    There were things that Hua Cheng realized.

    First, Xie Lian was really strong.

    Second, Xie Lian could jump really high.

    Summary

    "I don't want your suggestions, I already have a beloved," Hua Cheng said, his tone sounding more annoyed, and Xie Lian too sighed heavily. This conversation again…

    "Ah, so it is true! I thought it was just rumors going around. But do we know her? How could we make sure you're not making this up to get off the hook?" The lady pushed, and Xie Lian couldn't let this keep going any longer. Just as he was about to say something, Hua Cheng spoke up.

    "My beloved is-" Hua Cheng cut himself off with a hand up to covering his mouth, holding onto it tightly.

    Before, when Hua Cheng had talked about his past and those few other comments he made, he looked surprised that he'd said them at all. Now, he looked terrified.

    "Something is definitely wrong" Xie Lian thought.

     

    Or: Hua Cheng accidentally drinks a truth serum and a lot of things he meant to keep hidden come to light.
