    Summary


    “San Lang?”

     

    Hua Cheng's head perked up from the scroll he’d been perusing, an eyebrow raised in worry as he undeniably recognized the voice inside his head. Over the years, his husband had grown comfortable using his password whenever they needed to communicate, but there was an edge he could detect that immediately worried him.

    His tone was weak and shaky, as though the energy he could use for the communication was flickering.

    “Gege? Is everything alright?” he answered back, trying to keep his calm. Maybe he was overreacting, maybe—

     

    “Can you please come and get me?”

    -------------------------

    Something happened in the mountain. Something that broke his husband's heart and left him in pieces. And now, he's even getting ill, and it's as though there's nothing Hua Cheng can do to make it all better.

    Why is he always so useless?

    Summary

    Hua Cheng, a rather famous leader of a bandit, stole something he shouldn't have which somehow led him into being the crown prince of Xian Le's sole concubine to save his sister's life from a deadly curse.

    "Kneel."

    Hua Cheng kneels, head hanging low and complexion still. It is not that he is afraid, it's just that after years of living, he has learnt to be intelligent. Clever enough to analyze the situation, do as it suffice, abide and object when the time is right.

    "Why so far away? Come closer."

    When he is in this situation, however, kneeling with his head resting against the prince's lap, he doesn't feel quite right.

    Hua Cheng has learnt by living for years and for the first time in a while, he feels like he is doing his part wrongly.

    Or;

    Hua Cheng stole treasures but became one himself.

    Summary

    Xie Lian blinked as the blinding light faded and his feet touched the ground again. He didn’t stumble despite the amount of disorientation filling his every being. It wasn’t just confusion, but also dread, nausea and agony.

    “San Lang…?” he called out helplessly, his heart aching to be back in Hua Cheng’s safe and loving arms. But he knew it was a futile attempt. His beloved wasn’t here – his embrace couldn’t save him now.

    All before him were just tall, beautiful buildings, unfamiliar faces staring with shocked, displeased expressions and total silence. No maple-red robes, no teasing smirks and no one-eyed gazes full of adoration.

    He had ascended once again.

    — 𐀔 —

    Or: A story where Xie Lian’s canonical bad luck and repressed memories play a bigger role than in canon. Also, hualian meet around 200 years earlier!
