    Summary

    "S-San Lang…" Xie Lian's iron grip on Hua Cheng's robes contrasted with the fragile uncertainty in his voice. "I don't know what to…what should I…"

    "Anything gege wants," Hua Cheng said. "Anything."

    An eternity passed between one heartbeat and the next. Xie Lian's head lifted with a quavering exhale. He was so close Hua Cheng could almost taste him.

    "I can't be so selfish."

    Their noses brushed together. "I want you to be selfish," Hua Cheng whispered.

    The worst part about the coffin was not the experience, it was others learning about it.

    ---

    “The coffin.” Hua Cheng whispers. “It was a long time, wasn’t it?”

    Xie Lian opens his mouth, denial on the tip of his tongue.

    He takes in an unsteady breath, ashamed to find his eyes burning with the effort to hold back tears, then blurring with his failure to do so.

    “…It was.”

    Summary

    All the feelings and desires that were just bubbling under surface are let loose with a simple kiss. A college AU of Hualian getting together, exploring the possibility to follow their hearts freely, to simply touch. Xie Lian works through his intimacy issues and being more honest with himself.

    ***

    San Lang pressed a wet kiss to his neck, right on the pulse point. “To me you could be one of the gods themselves,” he whispered.

    Why was Xie Lian so into this?

    He was hard again, breathless. He grabbed San Lang's face, pulling him in for a needy kiss. “And how would you worship your god?” he looked into his eyes, seeing the same wild spark.

    San Lang smirked.

    “Like any sinner,” he grabbed his chin, looking down at him, “I would get down on my knees.”

    Summary

    Hua Cheng tells Xie Lian the tale of 'The (Handsome, Xie Lian wants it noted) Soldier and the Stolen Bride' and entices him into playing a little game of hide and seek. Xie Lian must locate the real Hua Cheng within the group of identical shells in order to win. With three Hua Chengs to choose from, what could possibly go wrong?

    --

    Xie Lian bursts with a bout of knowing laughter at that, slapping his hands over his mouth when Hua Cheng sighs, dramatically forlorn, his shoulders dropping in dejection. “Gege’s not taking my story seriously.”

    “I am! I swear it! Please, San Lang, do continue,” His Highness begs, reaching across the table to hold Hua Cheng’s hand, squeezing it in unnecessary apology as he gives him a bright and encouraging smile.

    Satisfied, Hua Cheng settles back, taking Xie Lian’s hand with him, forcing his flustered husband to hastily and clumsily crawl over to his side of the table along with it.

    Summary

    “Why is gege sitting like that?” San Lang asked softly.

    Xie Lian blinked his eyes open. He'd been falling asleep, his body still so tired from everything it had been through in the depths of the cave.

    “Hm?” How was he sitting? Xie Lian thought about it for a moment, and then he realised. Oh.

    He was sitting with his back against the maple tree, his head tilted slightly backwards and to the side to expose his neck, the insides of his wrists turned upwards, resting on his thighs.

    Xie Lian had trained himself to sit like that in the presence of vampires, so there was less chance of them pulling on and twisting his numb arms or hurting his neck.

    or

    After an accident, banished fairy Xie Lian becomes the unwilling guest of a sect of vampires. When another powerful vampire destroys the sect and takes Xie Lian home to help him recover, Xie Lian is faced with the challenge of convincing his saviour that he really really wouldn't mind if he were to drink some of his blood.

    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

    “Xie Lian!” His aunt pressed her face against the bars, her eyes wide with fear. “Do not offer anything else! Beg forgiveness and ask to leave!”

    He clenched his fists against his thighs. Forgive me, he pleaded silently.

    “My freedom for hers,” Xie Lian whispered.

    The vampire smiled the widest he’d seen yet, his teeth gleaming in the light of the night pearl. “We have a deal.”

    Summary

    Hua Cheng took a step towards the bed and leaned closer, his inky eyes studying him closely. After a moment he sighed and flopped on the bed next to him, a hand lazily reaching up to Xie Lian's head and scratching it gently.

    "Who am I kidding, we both know I'm going to keep you. I don't even get why...there's just something about you that won't let me throw you out the door."

    Unable to say anything Xie Lian tilted his head slightly and watched as the corner of the ghost's thin lips arched a little. It was such an endearing look.

    or

    Xie Lian is turned into a ferret by a curse and gets adopted by an unaware Hua Cheng. The ghost turns out to be very doting, exceptionally charming and severely starved for talking about a mysterious lost beloved of his.

    Summary

    A small lump rose up into his throat. Despite this, Xie Lian let out a chuckle.

    “It doesn't really matter what I want. Wherever I might I go, and whatever I might do, I’d be recognized eventually. My reputation is… a bit of a curse following me.”

    His fingers were digging absentmindedly into the backs of his arms. It hurt, but he didn’t let up. This always helped keep him focused and level whenever things were spiraling out of his control.

    Hua Cheng was thoughtful, his long fingers drumming idly on the plush armrest.

    “Gege… what if we could fix that?”

    Xie Lian blinked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”

    Hua Cheng slowly sat forward, resting his elbows on his knees. He fixed Xie Lian with a surprisingly dastardly grin and Xie Lian’s stomach did an unexpected little flip.

    "We might have to break a few laws to do it, but what if we can prove you were telling the truth? What if we can clear your name?"

    --------

    TLDR: Hua Cheng helps Xie Lian bring down the man who ruined his life. This fic will be cute dates, trust issues, minor felonies, and probably the occasional mental breakdown.

    “Do you never tire of your games?”

    Hua Cheng cocked his head to the side. His long fingers were playing with the red bead tied to the end of his braid; he painted the picture of a relaxed and lazy young master. “Did I still not convince gege that I am quite serious?”

    Xie Lian unsheathed his sword.

    Xie Lian did not care for the insolence of young ghost kings.

    Summary

    Unaware of his sneakily quiet steps, Xie Lian approached the ladder at the end of the hallway and glanced up━the door was indeed open, the murky morning sky lazily peeking through the gap. Absent-mindedly, Xie Lian started climbing up, drawn by an invisible nudge of curiosity and carelessness. When he started hearing other sounds, he grew certain that this must have been the source of the inescapable pull: music. It wasn’t just any music, it was Giselle… An ice-cold sting ran through Xie Lian’s knee, as if the bone was curling in on itself in fear.

    or: Xie Lian is suffering from insomnia and meets a neighbour who understands him better than anyone else.
