    Summary

    "Could you listen?" He asked more to himself than the stranger, almost hoping the person hadn't caught it as he continued, "You don't have to say a word."

    "I understand." Came the tone in clarity of powder blue skies. "I won't utter a word."

    "Swear to me."

    "I promise." The voice said solemnly and whatever inhibitions he had dissipated as he threw caution in the air.

    Summary

    Since the tender age of 9, Jiang Cheng has been convinced there is something growing within his chest.

    He fancies it might be a rose bush, full of thorns that poke his lungs everytime his father praises Wei Wuxian while his mother compares his lacking skills to his adopted brother and his sister dotes on the older boy, first and foremost. Or maybe it's a cactus, one that parches his throat dry with a hacking cough when all his friends favor the cooler Jiang sibling and dismiss his minuscule insecurities. But sometimes he contemplates if it's poison ivy wrapping tightly around his esophagus, causing uncomfortable irritation when his childhood crush, flawless Lan Xichen doesn't notice him the way Jiang Cheng notices everything about the older boy.

    He might not be certain what it is, but all he knows is that he is growing something so magnificent and indescribable.

    And it hurts.

    Yet no one believes him when he mentions the pain, when somedays the basic skill of breathing doesn't come easy. He catches the eye rolls, hears the scoffs, fumes at the blatant teasing, and clams up at the scolding he receives for his "exaggeration".

    Though perhaps his imagination wasn't too far off the mark.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua felt tears come to his eyes. He’d survived too long to become some pet for the protagonist! He wasn’t going to be locked up and made into a personal blood bag of Yin energy! That was not how Shang Qinghua was going to spend the rest of his life! He refused.
    As he reached the edge of the cliff, Shang Qinghua tried to feel for something over the edge he could use to pull himself up. His hand bumped into something firm and solid that he desperately grabbed onto. Shang Qinghua struggled to climb up, breaths coming out in pants from exertion. And when he looked to see what he was holding onto, he felt his insides drop.
    Shang Qinghua felt his entire body trembling as he looked up into the face of the man standing before him. Ink black hair spilled down his shoulders and framed his beautifully sculpted face. He stared down at Shang Qinghua, eyes and demon mark glowing blue in the cold night.

    Summary

    Months after breaking up with Mo Ran, Chu Wanning found himself pregnant with Mo Ran’s son… on the morning of Mo Ran’s wedding—to Song Qiutong.

    Chu Wanning decided to up and leave and restart his life far, far away, and cutting off all contact with anybody with anything to do with Sisheng.

    Til’ one day, after a one-night stand, he finds himself in the bed of a recently divorced man who called him ‘Xie-ge’ in bed: He Yu.

    He Yu is kind and sweet. They became friends with benefits for a while before settling for just friends.

    He Yu is still very much in love with his ex and Chu Wanning is still very in love with Mo Ran.

    But it was fine. He Yu and himself are broken people who found themselves supporting each other in many ways be it parenting or more depressing matters.

    Slowly, Chu Wanning became close to him and even made acquaintance with He Yu’s cold-looking but surprisingly thoughtful ex, Xie Qingcheng.

    Life was fine. Even when he’s pregnant with his ex-fuck buddy’s (He Yu’s) baby.

    Until, one day at the park, Mo Ran randomly showed up.

    “Wanning, is Chu Huan my son?”

    Summary

    Within a lonely heart, the seeds of hatred start to grow.

    -A 2ha Age and Role-Reversal AU.-

    NOTE: This Story is Now E Rated!

    [Before meeting Chu Wanning, Mo Ran had drawn his power exclusively from the Wood side of his dual Spiritual Root, and his Qi had always glowed green.

    Now, only when in battle did it do so, with Bugui’s blade encased in a tyrannical green light.

    Outside of battle, like when he set barriers of warmth; or made Crystal Butterflies to tease golden flowers; or cast a small array to keep a box of food warm, his Qi manifested with a gentle red glow.

    Mo Ran’s Wood was destructive, while his Fire was protective.

    Ah, Mo Weiyu, Mo Weiyu. Even your power betrays you. ]

    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

    He didn't utter a single syllable for approximately three years, just stared, stared at Seokjin with a look in his eyes that Seokjin couldn't quite pin down, which hadn’t happened in a long, long time. It was the practised poker face of a man who had billion-dollar deals rest on its efficacy.

    “I had a nice twenty minutes with you, Jin.” His voice was so deep that Seokjin could feel it in his toes. “I hope you have a nice night.”

    (In which escort extraordinaire Kim Seokjin is fully prepared expose a catfish pretending to be famously straight playboy Kim Namjoon, heir to the Hyundai fortune, only for the real deal to actually show up.)

    Summary

    Jeon Jungkook is perfect. Tall, sun-kissed and gorgeous, He's obsessed with high school popularity as much as high school is obsessed with him.

    As one of the only openly gay kids in their year and a bit of a loner, Kim Seokjin is in the very minute minority who isn't.

    In public they barely look at each other. But in the backs of empty classrooms and storage cupboards, they know each other a little more closely than what first meets the eye.

    (Alt: the friends with benefits to best friends to lovers cliche, except make it British, slap in the use of humour to compensate for the emotional destitution and bon apetit.)

    “I’m serious! I woke up feeling like something bad would happen all day, and suddenly I’m inhumanly attractive, work’s swamped with customers, and now I have three lunatic fairies telling me I’m some kind of fae too!” he whined, voice getting higher as he ranted. “Now apparently, I’m breaking laws I didn’t even know about and my sweet, sweet employees are probably being tortured back there.”

    “Sounds like a bad day.” Namjoon says, face pitying.

Now, he's in over his head in a completely different world, and all he can do is hope that they'll just leave him alone.

    Summary

    (Please don't let the tags scare you away. I promise there's a happy ending.)

    For Seokjin, the garden is the one place he can be himself. A magical escape, thrumming with adventure and the kind of comfort one only gets from tightly-wrapped hugs and oversized sweaters. But if Seokjin is being honest, the magnetic draw of the garden is its caretaker, Jeongguk, whose warm smile has the power to stop time for the boy.

    Seokjin first meets the gardener at the age of 14 when he collides face-first into his broad chest—a virtual giant, he thinks. That day would alter the course of Seokjin’s life, setting off aftershocks that would transform the garden forever.

    Min Yoongi does not want, will never want, will never ever even consider, marriage. It's not in the cards. He's stubborn enough to achieve the total ban on marriage talks.

    Summary

    “It's still a lot of work, even if you have magic on your side.” Yoongi glances over at a jug filled with what looks like pieces of pineapple. And then, as both cat and witch stare at the jug, the pieces are suddenly no more, instead replaced entirely by liquid. “Heck. Magic is draining. I’m going to need a nap later.”

    “Why do you think I start at 5 am and only open at 11?” Seokjin grumbles, before he sighs, “yeah, okay. I get your point. No tea then. But we gotta think of something to make with avocados.”

    “Why the fuck are we doing avocados?”
     
    “Because I ordered avocados.”

    “Oh. Ok. Let me rephrase that: why the fuck are we doing avocados?”

    ~*~

    (Or: Seokjin is a witch, Yoongi is his familiar. 99% of their life is bickering like this. The other 1%? Well, you'll have to read and see won't you?)
