    Summary

    Xie Lian hasn’t been acting like himself for the past few days, but Hua Cheng doesn’t care, because he loves him. He loves him, he loves him, he loves him.

    It occurs to him too late that the thing in front of him might not be Xie Lian at all.

    Summary

    "Do you want to talk about it?" He Xuan inquires, pulling him into a tight hug.

    "No." Yin Yu shakes his head and presses closer to He Xuan's chest.

    He Xuan cradles his head and runs his fingers through Yin Yu's long hair until the tension finally starts to seep out of Yin Yu's body bit by bit.

    "Is there something else I can do?" He Xuan asks.

    Yin Yu hums thoughtfully.

    "Help me not to think anymore," he pleads.

    "Like last time?"

    Yin Yu nods again and tries to press even closer.

    Yin Yu suffers through a nightmare of one of the worst moments of his life. Luckily, He Xuan is there to give him comfort.

    Summary

    He Xuan needs someone to "practice on" in order to perform well as the Wind Master's best friend (or maybe even more than that).

    Summary

    “Are you sure you don’t want any help?” Pei Ming asks, for the third time. Shi Qingxuan can hear his frown from three thousand miles away. “I can get a flight there by the end of the day.”

    “I’m fine. Really.” Shi Qingxuan cradles the enormous cordless phone between his cheek and shoulder, marveling privately at both its size and the ridiculous antenna that sprouts from one end. He’s lucky the land-line is still working; he didn’t even think about if his cell phone would have reception on this lonely spit of land.

    He wonders if his brother paid the phone bill out months in advance, or if the phone company just overlooked this far-flung beach house since its owner hardly ever visits. And now he never will again, thinks Shi Qingxuan.

    (Modern beefleaf au, via beach house horror story.)

    Summary

    Shi Qingxuan is left to watch him, trace the pale curve of his jaw and let his eyes curiously brush the full lips drawn in concentration. He is dark and watery - like he may sink into a puddle at any moment - save for the eyes which gleam from his face like flint-wrought sparks. 

    “It’s amazing,” Shi Qingxuan says, allowing himself to instead watch He Xuan’s hand. He writes with such a beautiful mastery, that Shi Qingxuan cannot help but to mourn the scholar he never truly became. “What you took from me. How much you act as if you don’t care.” 

    “I do not care.” 

    He hums. Unconvinced. “I suppose you cannot care for much of anything.” It’s like walking on brittle ice, these words. He Xuan does not pause in his task. He continues to write. He ignores Shi Qingxuan like one might a gnat buzzing about their home on a warm day. Mid-summer. Shi Qingxuan knows what anger looks like on Black Water Sinking Ships. He knows what his scholar hands look like drenched in blood. 

    For today, he does not rise to Shi Qingxuan’s irksome barbs. Shi Qingxuan takes his leave of the Nether Water Manor library. He’ll return another day.

    Summary

    “Will you finish my hair?” 

    He Xuan comes back to herself when a hairbrush is waved in her direction. Shi Qingxuan blinks at her with that lazy tiredness she gets every night. Taking the silver brush from her hand, He Xuan lowers herself behind Shi Qingxuan and begins running the soft bristles through her curls. They stretch out and spring back up. Now devoid of the day’s frizz. 

    “Thank you, He-jie. I appreciate it.” It’s what she says every night as they go through this routine. He Xuan says nothing. She rarely ever does. “We should go to the beach tomorrow. Or to the pier. There’s a Ferris Wheel. Have you ever been on a Ferris Wheel? Ge took me when I was really little, but I didn’t like it very much. I think I was scared of heights back then. But I wouldn’t be scared with you, He-jie.” She stops to laugh, a rare break in the tumbling words that seem almost endless. 

    Shi Qingxuan even chatters in her sleep. He Xuan hates that she knows this.

    Summary

    “We’re going to my favorite bookstore.”

    “What a nerd,” Yin Yu teases. He Xuan makes a face.

    “Trust me, you’re gonna end up liking it more than I do.”

    “Hm? What makes you say that?”

    He Xuan’s smile is fond and tender. “Because I know you, Xiao-yue.”

    Summary

    Je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi les gens s'extasiaient autant sur l'automne.
    Ils sont tous là à se dire qu'ils n'ont jamais vu d'aussi belles couleurs, que manger des potirons et faire des tartes aux pommes que l'on a ramassé soi-même c'est un vrai bonheur... Personne ne remarque à ce moment-là que la Nature est en train de mourir ?
    Pour moi, c'est vraiment la saison la plus triste de toutes.

    Summary

    What do you do when everything you've every cherished was all pronounced a lie? What do you do when you're cursed to live on in pain until you draw your last breath even when you have nothing to live for?
    Shi Qingxuan can't seem to find the answer to these questions, so he dons on a façade everyday and pretends everything is ok. Even though nothing can ever be fine anymore.

    OR: A story of He Xuan taking care of Shi Qingxuan to heal the wounds he had inflicted on him.

    Summary

    The car engine purred at them as they twisted across the city. A fluorescent spill of blue light greeted them at their destination, and Shi Qingxuan watched He Xuan pull out his gun and check that the safety was off. Once he was satisfied, it went back into the holster at his side. 

    A hand reached out. Shi Qingxuan took it. For a moment, time froze itself around them with a rush of wind, and He Xuan’s eyes bored into him, through him. “When tonight is over,” he said, “I’m gonna take you somewhere nice. We can talk this out for real.” 

    Shi Qingxuan smiled, rolling his head to the side and trying to melt the tension. “Whatever you want, He-xiong. I’ll let you pull the trigger this time, and you can take all the earnings.” 

    “We split fifty/fifty like always.” 

    “What a gentleman.”
