    Summary

    After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

    Summary

    I forgive you.

    Aziraphale watched as Crowley walked out the door. He'd seen the demon walk out of the bookshop a million times, always knowing that he'd walk right back in the same door tomorrow.

    This time, the door closed with a stifling sense of irrevocability.

    This time, Crowley wasn't just walking out of his bookshop.

    This time, Crowley was walking out of his life.

    I forgive you.

    Foolish. Stupid. Cruel.

    Those hadn't been the words sitting at the tip of his tongue. Far from it.

    But it didn't matter. Those had been the words he spoke, and he couldn't take them back now.

    ~oOo~
    Or, the one where Aziraphale realises he needs to ask Crowley's forgiveness this time. Meanwhile, Crowley is just trying to make the Bentley stop playing Taylor Swift.

    Summary

    It’s a pleasant evening much like many pleasant evenings this month, so Crowley doesn’t expect anything unusual when he makes himself comfortable on his side of the couch and lets Aziraphale select the wine.

    Which is why he’s resolutely caught off guard when Aziraphale disappears into a backroom, which Crowley always assumed was a wine cellar, and then turns around, darkness behind him and low, warm light gilding his hair and making his eyes bright. He’s breathtaking, he’s so beautiful, his eyes are so dark.

    “Crowley,” he breathes.

    Or, Crowley and Aziraphale have sex.

    Summary

    Being an alpha is not just good, not just convenient or respected or familiar. It’s right. It’s who he is. Everything about him – the way he walks, the way he speaks, the way he can make opponents back off with a flash of his eyes, or protect a child feeling vulnerable with a low sound – draws on it.

    Wei Wuxian doesn’t know how to be an omega. Omegas are complicated. There are so many rules and expectations, both spoken and unspoken; there are clothes and scents and whole medication regimes. There’s the need to obey an alpha – any alpha – who chooses to use compulsion. There are heats.

    Fucking fuck, there are heats.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian wakes up in Mo Xuanyu's body, and discovers more has changed than he could have imagined. Learning to live with it is not exactly straightforward. For anyone.)

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian, the God of Wine, was no doubt goading him on. “But, of course, we all know that you don’t particularly care for the pleasures of the flesh. Being inexperienced and all that, I’m sure you don’t even know what to do if I really did offer myself up on the plate!”

    Alas, those words had cut the last strings of restraint in Lan Wangji.

    “Who?” The God of Light questioned, his deep voice reverberating throughout the room. “Who said I do not know?”

    Two gods; a burning desire.
