    Summary

    “Alright, alright,” Xie Lian amends hastily, “but it’s just a little pinch. It can’t hurt that bad. It’s not any worse than what we sometimes do in bed, when you—”

    “Gege!” Hua Cheng looks really aggrieved, now. “How can it be the same?”

    “Because you’re doing what I want,” Xie Lian says, trying dutifully to ignore the heat creeping across his face. “Would it help if I ordered you? If San Lang didn’t have a choice?”

    Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are trapped and starving; the solution, to Xie Lian, seems obvious. Hua Cheng disagrees.

    Summary

    Feng Xin would like to think that he has become accustomed to the variety of strange (and often unfortunate) events that surround Xie Lian. He has become accustomed to the flights of fancy, and the trash collecting, and the occasional ill-fated culinary quest. He has even, as of late, become accustomed to His Highness’ cripplingly poor choice in spouse.

    Despite all of Feng Xin’s practice in these unfortunates, however, he is not prepared for this.

    “Who are you?” Xie Lian stares up at him from a puddle of oversized white robes, his eyes wide. He is several sizes too small, and several shades too oblivious. “And, um. Where are we?”

    Beside him, Mu Qing sighs very very very deeply and pinches the bridge of his nose.

    When a curse turns Xie Lian into a child again, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Hua Cheng have to work together to keep him safe. Needless to say, this is a trying task for all of them.

    Summary

    Xie Lian has spent long enough around sirens to have some grasp of their communication, and some of it is even a little similar to mer noises. This sound, for example, is like the one podmates use to call for each other—curious, beckoning. He suspects it means much the same thing for sirens. Has this siren lost someone, maybe?

    Hopefully it will find its lost someone soon, so Xie Lian can go back to sleep.

    Then, because nothing good can ever happen to Xie Lian, the siren peeks beneath the overhang. It hangs its head over the jut of stone, its hair billowing like a crown of ink and the yellow sclera of its eye bright against the black. That singular eye catches on his, its pupil dilating, and Xie Lian stiffens.

    Summary

    Ruoye abandons his play and bolts to Xie Lian’s side, his eyes wide and his ears pricked: the boy smells like blood and disease, but he clings to Xie Lian with startling strength. Ruoye searches for the boy’s daemon, eager to check that it is safe after such a fall. He finds nothing.

    Even when Xie Lian carries the boy back to the palace, no daemon shows itself. Ruoye can’t smell one on him, either; he will not understand why until weeks later, when ghosts flood to Taicang Mountain. He hears the whispers, then: the boy is cursed, daemonless, a freak and a monster and a creature best left for dead.

    Fuck that, Ruoye thinks.

    Or: TGCF ft. daemons.

    Summary

    The first prayers are hazy, fragmented things. They’re wordless, made only of emotion and impression—a flash of longing, the burden of grief, an overwhelming scent of blood. They lurk in the corners of his mind at all times, but they don’t feel like they belong to him. They feel other.

    Xie Lian thinks he’s going crazy.

    Hua Cheng prays for centuries as he searches for his god. His god hears.

    Summary

    “Okay, San Lang, let’s talk,” Xie Lian says, and is proud of how steady his voice stays. “Tell me about the cuts.”

    “You talked to E-ming, didn’t you,” Hua Cheng says bleakly.

    “It only confirmed what I already suspected.” Xie Lian closes his eyes. “Can you tell me that those injuries aren’t from who I think they are?”

    “Dianxia is so clever.” Hua Cheng looks at him, and there is a sudden exhaustion written in the lines around his eye. “I could tell you they aren’t, but...this San Lang is tired of lying to his god.”

    Despite his suspicions, to hear it admitted so plainly from Hua Cheng’s own mouth feels like a fist to his heart. Xie Lian takes a deep, deep, deep breath. Calmly. Calmly and clearly. He has already done his crying. He is not going to freak out right now. He is not going to yell. He is not going to yell. He is not—

    “What were you thinking, Hua Cheng?!”

    When E-ming is stolen and its curse activated by enemies, Xie Lian fully expects the chorus of pained howls he hears outside of Paradise Manor. What he does not expect is the multitude of raw, gaping wounds that split open along his husband’s skin.

    Summary

    During the 800 years, Hua Cheng developed a habit of using E’ming on himself whenever he felt he needed to be punished. Post-canon, Xie Lian walks in on one of these sessions.

    Summary

    Jing Yuan blinks, and the world around him tilts and morphs so quickly that he could almost mistake himself for having fainted if he wasn’t clearly still upright and standing. A look around the room they are currently in, and it only takes a moment for memory to kick in and recognise it as his master’s old estate.

    Except… it doesn’t exist. Not anymore.

    His beloved Dan Heng, who is still standing across from him, and who has always been considerably shorter than him, is now directly at his eye level. Judging by the horrified look he has on his face, he must have also come to the same conclusion.

    (Or : In which a gift from Stelle sends Jing Yuan and Dan Heng tumbling into the past.

    Turns out trying to act like a 700 year younger version of yourself is not nearly as easy as one thinks; and meeting your previous incarnation that hugely fucked up your current life isn’t so bad after all.)
