    Summary

    That strong fragrance made his heart start beating faster, and he could feel the blood rushing through his body. Xie Lian closed both his hands into fists, fingernails digging into the skin. All of his divine might was focused on not grabbing the man in front of him by the robes and smashing their lips together. Lips that must be so soft, and sweet as rain, and…

    “Please go.” He gritted his teeth. Xie Lian had barely even had friends during most of his 800 years of misfortune. Let alone someone as special as this. He couldn't fuck this up for the life of him.

    Hua Cheng opened his mouth as if to argue, but closed it again. After a few seconds he begrudgingly acquiesced. His soft steps retreated to the entrance of the cave, and Xie Lian was both relieved and incredibly painted by his absence.

    Rewrite of when Xie Lian is affected by the flower Yao, which made him feel burning lust. This version is set in his current present, and he is with Hua Cheng.
    (If you haven't read the book, you can still follow this. I'll bring you up to speed: Xie Lian was canonically affected by sex pollen, but in another moment in his life. He did some blood shedding to relieve it. That's all, on you go!)

    Summary

    Still reeling from his feelings after their ride in the step-litter, Xie Lian thought spending some time together in Puqi Village would help ease the tension between both of them. Things took a turn, however, after a seemingly harmless walk through the forest together.

    Hua Cheng was acting strange; refusing to elaborate as Xie Lian's worries only grew.

    “It was a remnant.” Hua Cheng eventually said.

    “Of what?” Xie Lian’s mind raced. What could he do? He knew some odd antidotes from being poisoned over the centuries. They would probably find all they needed in Ghost City, wouldn’t they?

    “The flower yao.”

    His mind blanked.

    “What?”

    “Those from the Land of Tender,” Hua Cheng said filled with resignation. "Gege, please. Don't come any closer."

    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.)
