    Summary

    He Xuan starts coughing so loudly and so violently that for a second Xie Lian loses track of reality, and thinks it was He Xuan who got buried under what feels like half a mountain, and not Xie Lian. It’s only as he tries to get up, alarmed, that the pain shoots through his body and reminds him why that would be a terrible idea. A grunt of pain must escape him, because He Xuan pushes him down again. This time, he leaves his hand on his shoulder, a constant reminder to “stay the fuck down, dianxia, fucking idiot.”

    “You sounded like you were in pain. Are you sure you weren’t hurt in the collapse?”

    “It really is very galling to be fretted upon by a man who is bleeding half of his intestines unto the floor.”

    (or: Xie Lian and He Xuan end up trapped in a cave together, and Xie Lian won't stop saying upsetting things. It's probably the concussion.)

    Summary

    "The world is at least fifty percent bad. Sometimes he thinks that’s a conservative estimate. For every dog pet, there is one kicked. For every penny given, one is taken. Xie Lian is not a gambling man.

    But that’s the thing about halves: there’s always a flip side. Maybe if Xie Lian flips the coin enough times, some day it’ll land right side facing up. Forever might mean infinite disappointment, but it also means infinite chances—every time Xie Lian makes a bad gamble, there will always be a next time, and a next, and a next.

    And Xie Lian is cold. He’s so tired from watching the rain from inside the storm. He wants to curl up in something soft and listen to it rage around him, rather than letting it chew him up and spit him out.

    (He thinks that he would like to be beautiful, to somebody’s eyes.

    He thinks that he would like to be saved.)"

    **********

    OR: Hua Cheng finds Xie Lian on the streets of Shanghai after more than a thousand years of searching. He brings him home.

    (Based on the poem Good Bones by Maggie Smith).

    Summary

    “I already told you, I don’t have hypothermia,” Lance says. “I’m okay. I’m just really, really cold.”

    Keith raises an eyebrow. “What do you think hypothermia is?”

    “Oh, don’t get all technical. I—”

    His body betrays him by breaking out into another fit of shivers, so violent they leave him dizzy, his vision dark at the edges.

    It knocks most of the fight out of him, and he sits there for a moment, feeling miserable and pathetic.

    “Look,” Keith says, his voice low and infuriatingly kind, “you can drop the act. I know you. I can tell when you’re not okay.”

    Lance stares at him, feeling exposed and cut to the bone.

    “I could get better on my own,” he says.

    “You won’t,” Keith tells him bluntly. “Not unless you let me help you.”

    ---

    Getting stranded in a cave during a blizzard is bad. Having to rely on Keith Kogane for warmth is… complicated. Lance survives the night. Figuring out what it meant is another story.
