    Summary

    Spirit AU where Ren is the Vermilion Bird (Phoenix) and Dan Feng is a Huli Jing (Fox Spirit):

    As the Vermillion Bird of the South who lives in the heart of a volcano, Ren’s entire home should be inhospitable, especially to furry little beasts like Dan Feng.

    The fox sighs woefully, “Still so cold after all the times we’ve shared a bed. I see the great Divine Guardian only wants me for my body.”

    Ren rolls his eyes. “You only want me for my Yang energy.”

    “Mm. And what delicious Yang energy it is.”

    Summary

    Even at the alter, General Ren does not smile. His expressionless gaze is cast on their joined hands instead as if it offends him. He does not lift his gaze until they rise from a deep bow, deeper than Dan Heng has ever had to in his life and it is for a man who has slain thousands of his people.

    His smile slips when their eyes meet, a clash of green and red so vivid the world comes to a standstill to this single point in time.

    After six years on the battlefield, Dan Heng meets defeat in the face of his consort.

    ~

    In the aftermath of a bloody war, the way to a lasting peace treaty comes in the form of marriage; generals of their respective armies would be offered as consorts for the heirs of their nations. In the name of peace, Dan Heng reluctantly accepts the show of goodwill but seeing an enemy as a friend is no easy task.

    It quickly becomes clear that his own people would sooner seek vengeance for their losses than to accept this political power play, even at the cost of their prince's life.

    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is passion and loyalty personified when he speaks, his voice a raw whisper. “Let me love you. Let me show you. I promise you, I’ll never leave you. I’ll never hurt you. I’ll forever be devoted to you, and only you.”

    Xie Lian used to think he had experienced every emotion there was to experience in this world, but he was wrong. Being loved by Hua Cheng is like being a butterfly, delicate and precious, held in the cusp of his hands with all the gentleness in the world, being kept safe from the raging winds and the way people could be cruel. And suddenly, everything he’s ever done makes sense to him, it means something now, all because Hua Cheng sees him. He knows him.

    One person is enough.


    Or: A post-canon story of Hua Cheng and Xie Lan talking and learning and exploring intimacy together.
