It was always going to end like this. There was no other way it could end. Zanka knew that from the beginning, they both did.
Was it hubris to think he could stop fate? Was it love to want to try anyways?

Summary
Hua Cheng is awake deep in the night when Xie Lian has a nightmare. When he wakes, he tells Hua Cheng about his parents-- one of the few things he wasn't there to witness Xie Lian endure. Hua Cheng is devastated by this revelation, and can't contain his grief.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have both been through SO MUCH shit that they never discuss with each other so this fic is me forcing them to talk about it.

Summary
It is a weird thing to wake up and realise that for the first time in 800 years, you are no longer in love. Hua Cheng felt it even before he opened his eyes, could taste it in the back of his throat. Even the air around him felt different: stale, and with a strange odour to it. With his eyes still closed, he took stock of his other mental facilities, and it all came back in order, except—
Except that for the first time in 800 years, he thinks of Xie Lian and feels nothing.
(in which Hua Cheng's devotion gets stolen, and no one is happy about it.)

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—” -

Summary
When it comes to something like this, there are a few important steps:
First, Xie Lian makes sure that his husband is busy. Something like that makes it sound so terrible, but it’s not—it’s really not! It’s just that Hua Cheng can be overprotective, and if he saw this he would react poorly. Xie Lian would rather spare him that.
Second, Xie Lian puts Ruoye away. The poor thing never wants to go. He has to tie it somewhere safe and placate it with gentle touches and soothing words. Even so, it still lashes its ends and strains after him until he leaves the room. It will cling too tightly when he returns.
Third, Xie Lian goes somewhere quiet and familiar. It can be the armory, or their private baths, or even the shrine near Puqi Village. It is never their bedroom. It is never their cottage.
Fourth, Xie Lian draws his sword.
Fifthly, finally, Xie Lian takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and carves his own skin open.

Summary
Carefully, almost in loving reverence, Hua Cheng gathered Xie Lian's foot and proceeded to bandage it expertly. Then, he examined his legs and arms for any cut or bruise – cleaning the cuts, pressing his lips on each bruise.
Xie Lian gasped, eyes wide, the trembling in his body increasing ten folds. His burning cheeks were turning to lava, frying his brain in the process. He couldn't understand what was happening. Why was Hua Cheng acting this way? It didn't make any sense!
"S-San Lang, ah!?"
After getting rid of a spirit in a neighboring village, Xie Lian attempts to return home fast enough, but ends up injuring himself along the way. He doesn't dare call Hua Cheng who went back to Ghost City, knowing he is busy. But maybe that's a mistake.
Maybe, just maybe, there's a chance the Ghost King actually wants to help him out.

Summary
Val may be a fucking monster, but he’s a monster that Angel knows. He’s a monster that Angel understands. Angel isn’t stupid; he made the choice to sign with Valentino because he was the only overlord that made sense for Angel’s lifestyle — for what Angel wanted out of Hell.
But now you’re tellin’ him that his soul is owed to some random fucking jackass who swindled Val in a game of cards? How can that be fair? How can that be something that’s just allowed to happen?
(In which, Angel's contract is acquired by a new overlord — Hell's very own Gambling Demon, and they both get more from the relationship than either of them bargained for.)

Summary
Why having Sebastian see you like this was a problem, you couldn't find the answer (you could), but it filled you with dread nonetheless. You’d never been discovered in a state like this before and you weren't planning on breaking that record now. “Sebastian it’s fine, I’m fine, seriously, I’m,” The last word of your sentence before you cut yourself off raised to a whimper, almost like you were about to cry. Again. So much for growing a pair down here. Attempt number two, “I can deal with this on my own.”
Well. If that didn’t reassure you, it certainly didn’t do the same for Sebastian.
Or,
Dealing with the consequences of the Hadal Blacksite seems to catch up to you, finding yourself deeply injured, both mentally and physically. But you choose to deal with it alone, almost unchanging from previous times. What makes it different is the familiar shopkeeper that doesn't allow you to.

Summary
To be fair, it was the Lamb’s fault.
..Maybe a little bit of Narinder’s, but it was mostly Lambert’s fault.
After a rather embarrassing accident on a crusade, Narinder opts to be resurrected instead of healed. Only, The Lamb's anxious mind haunted by past memories bumbled the ritual, and the cat comes back cursed: conscious, aware (not that The Lamb knows that) but with an insatiable hunger for flesh. Now, until Kallamar can return with crystals to cure him, Lambert must keep the cat alive, keep him from killing any of their flock and somehow keep him fed.
Unsurprisingly however, their husband already had a taste for mutton and is hardly taking any of this seriously.
