    Summary

    Twenty seven cracks on the ceiling. What looks like a cobweb in the corner. No spider in sight. Xie Lian remembers, suddenly, his silly childhood habit of looking for spiders and trying to pet them. And then crying when they’d play dead.

    He sits up abruptly, grabs his pillow and gathers his blanket in both hands. He’ll just sleep on his couch.

    Only, Xie Lian doesn’t make it to the living room. As he’s passing his hallway an odd noise from the staircase makes him pause.

    It sounds almost like someone is crying.

     

    Xie Lian’s life is a mess. Hua Cheng’s life is, somehow, even worse. Luckily, sometimes two negatives make an affirmative.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe grabs an impeccably sharpened kitchen knife and stabs himself in the abdomen. Dark red blood blooms over his pale sleeping robes and starts dripping down slowly.

    He’s going to stain Shizun’s pristine floors.

    Such a fucking nuisance.

    Summary

    “I heard you got married.” San Lang says, all teasing gone, his voice even. “My congratulations.”

    Xie Lian wishes his wedding was less public, but Jun Wu wanted to “do everything right”. If he knew back then how many times he’ll have to fake a smile and accept congratulations he would stand his ground.

    San Lang’s congratulations sound more like condolences, for some reason. Xie Lian doesn’t ask, but doesn't bother to smile either.

    “Thank you.” He says.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe remembers the teeth of Shrieking Fire Lizard. Full mouth of them, in too many rows to count, and each as sharp as a tiny, venomous sword. He remembers the way those teeth clenched around his thigh, cutting and burning and tearing at his skin and flesh.

     

    And yet, none of it hurt as much as seeing his shizun, clad in brilliant crimson robes, getting married to another man.

     

    Shen Qingqiu gets married while Luo Binghe is still in the Abyss.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng crouches down in front of the jam selection and is lost in thought, until a soft touch against his thigh startles him. There’s a small, pudgy hand clutching at his pants.

    “Hello?” Hua Cheng looks at the small, curly child and can’t suppress a smile.

    “Noods.” The kid says, voice quiet but sure.

    “Okay.” Hua Cheng lets out a laugh.

    Or,

    Xie Lian has three kids, two jobs and not a minute to spare.

    Hua Cheng has no kids, lots of time and a crush.

    Summary

    If sea could love,
    It’s waves that crush and drown,
    Would leave a kiss on crown
    of your head
    It’s freezing and unyielding hand,
    Would cradle silk and porcelain of your soul.
    It’s monsters from the depths would crawl,
    would kneel, would beg for smile on your face
    And I among them, creature of disgrace,
    would wish for nothing but your fleeting gaze.

    If sea could love,
    You’d never long for purpose—
    I’d still be yours
    And you would be my Goddess.

    Shi Qingxuan’s life is pretty simple. They attend university, go clubbing, hang out with friends, fall for their brother’s mysterious rival, get kidnapped— well, maybe their life isn’t that simple, after all.

    Summary

    -and then she moves an inch closer and kisses Luo Binghe.

    Her lips are soft and plush and when there’s a gasp against Shen Yuan’s mouth, she thinks she really is quite drunk already, because her head is suddenly all fuzzy.

    “Yuan-jie?” Luo Binghe whispers, her eyes shut.

    “It doesn’t mean anything.” Shen Yuan reassures her. “All girls do it when they’re drunk.”

     

    Shen Yuan implements the very common practice of kissing one’s best friend while drunk.

    Summary

    “Then make me.”

    “What?” Shen Yuan frowns. He gets a little lost in Luo Binghe’s stormy eyes.

    Summary

    “You have paint on your cheek.” Little girl says. And then, “I like your eye mask thing.”

     

    Hua Cheng freezes.

     

    “Okay?” He mumbles. “Thank you.”

     

    Hua Cheng gets a free cupcake, crumbled cookie and meets a man of his dreams all in a span of ten minutes. He doesn’t know how to cope with it.

    Summary

    “I didn’t kidnap anyone!” Shen Yuan snaps. “Luo Binghe’s injured and he needs rest! If he wishes to conquer the world, he can do so once he’s better!”

    “Better?! He’s fine! He’s a Heavenly Demon! He has a plot to follow!”

    “He has a medical tea prescription and before he drinks it all he’s not going anywhere!”

    “A medical tea? You’re feeding immoral demon medical teas? For how long?

     

    AU, where Shen Yuan transmigrates years later and accidentally snatches Luo Binghe right out of the Abyss.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan gets himself a child. The child is bratty, sweet and isn’t half-impressed with the new neighbor, Luo Binghe, who, by the way, doesn’t even know who David Bowie is. Idiot.

    Summary

    Something moves on the periphery and a big, clawed, blue-ish hand reaches for Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu screams. He didn’t even know he was capable of making such sounds. It tears rights out of his chest, it hurts, it-

    “What need do you have for a corpse?” Mobei-Jun sounds impatient and Shen Qingqiu is instantly overwhelmed with panic.

     

    He wants to take Binghe away.

     

    Or, Luo Binghe dies in the Endless Abyss

    Summary

    “-tell him he’s doing good, every once in a while? Pat his head for a second or two, before stepping away? Begrudgingly agree to physical intimacy after he’s begged enough? The last one is my favorite. Inventively humiliating. Tell me, are you ashamed of him?”

     

    Shen Qingqiu swallows, feeling his eyes grow hot. He has nothing to say, and yet he opens his mouth to argue.

     

    “I care about him.”

     

    “How romantic. How generous. Every devoted husband dreams of hearing he’s merely cared for by their spouse.”

     

    Shen Qingqiu realizes he hasn’t been honest enough with his husband. He might be wrong, though. He’s not good with feelings.

    Summary

    “Binghe.” Shen Qingqiu says, unable to hold the question back even a moment longer. “Do you think you love me more than I love you?”

    Luo Binghe’s arms drop. He takes a stumbling step back. His perfect, beautiful face freezes completely, not showing a single emotion.

    A second later tears start rolling down his cheeks.

    Summary

    Xie Lian opens the door to room 84B with a smile on his face. He swore to himself years ago that he’s not going to cry here. Not going to bring even a drop of misery to Hua Cheng’s space.

     

    “Hello, San Lang.” He says, walking to the chair he considers his. He’s the only one who sits there, so he’s not so far off. “It’s nice to see you.”

     

    Hua Cheng is in coma, so it’s Xie Lian’s turn to wait.
