    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

    It's an accident, for once. He was actually following the Official Household Chore Schedule and doing the dishes while Chuuya was out getting groceries. But one of the plates was slipperier than he expected, and as he attempted to dry it, it fumbled just enough out of his grip to crack against the countertop, chipping a bit off the edge.

    It isn’t one of Chuuya’s fancy plates. Dazai is fairly certain that Chuuya has no particular attachment to this dish at all, actually. It’s plain white and utilitarian, part of a larger set.

    So Dazai can’t explain why he’s frozen in place, rooted to the floor by some welling emotion he can’t quite pinpoint.

    (Alternatively: local brilliant strategist has a slight meltdown over small uncontrollable part of everyday life)

    Summary

    (All oneshots in this series can be read independently)

    Three weeks. He’d been separated from his husband for three whole weeks. And sure it wasn’t that long in the scheme of things, but Xie Lian had gotten used to his days going a certain way and they usually involved a heavy dose of affection from his husband in the form of light touches, easy kisses, and regular hugs.

    And now that he was home from his mission he was going to get the affection he’d so badly missed.

    Summary

    Atsushi's an orphan, and at this point, he's so fucking glad.

    (or, Atsushi accidentally calls Chuuya 'mom,' which is all fine and good, except for the fact that Dazai will NEVER let him live it down.)

    “Holy shit.” She said, under her breath.

    “Yeah,” He sighed. “Holy shit.”

    A junior official handed Ling Wen a jar of wine. She immediately popped the top off and began chugging it with ease. “He’s nothing like you.”

    “I know.” He took the jar from her. “I think that’s for the best.”

    Summary

    (Don't need to read any of the rest of the series to understand this. They are all just one shots of Hualian being domestic and tender post-canon.)

    “Your highness?” The title was half a sigh, half a whisper.

    Xie Lian looked over all the same, smiling softly at him. “Hm?”

    “This one knows what he wants for his reward.”

    “Is that right?”

    “En. May this humble follower wash your highness’ hair?”

    Summary

    “Well, I’m not going to gently cradle you to my chest.”

    “Great. Then turn the fuck around so I can ‘gently cradle’ you,” Feng Xin spits out, the tense line of his shoulders making it obvious he’s in pain. “I’m not spending another moment like this just because you’re a stubborn asshole.”

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing are cursed to be in need of physical contact. Neither knows what to do when they are touching.

    “I wish I was dating him, just so I could dump his ass.”

    Xie Lian’s eyebrows nearly shoot off his face. “You wish you were dating him?”

    “So I could dump him.” Feng Xin doesn’t see what Xie Lian isn’t getting here.

    Mu Qing has an exceptionally bad day. Feng Xin cares way more than he expected to.

    Summary

    “I think we should break up.”

    Feng Xin timed it so that Mu Qing wasn’t eating or drinking but Mu Qing didn’t react beyond raising an eyebrow. “Break up?”

    “Uh, yeah, because...” How are you supposed to tell someone that you don’t think they’re happy anymore? That you're in love with them and that they only see you as a casual thing? Mu Qing was stressed and he never let Feng Xin meet his mom and he never moved in. Mu Qing hated when Feng Xin said I love you, actually; he’d get tense and change the subject. The one time Feng Xin had tried to talk about marriage, he’d said Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

    “Fine.”

    --

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing break up. Turns out they're not very good at staying apart.

    ' “I’m not some fragile maiden—”

    “No one is saying that, Mu Qing, you’re just injured—”

    Mu Qing sits upright, eyes blazing. “I’m fucking fine—”

    “And it’s my fault!” shouts Feng Xin.

    They both go quiet. '

    Mu Qing gets cursed to only tell the truth. Feng Xin learns some things. (So do hualian)
    -
    “A truth curse?” he repeats uncertainly. He’s never heard of anything like that before.
    “Mn. I can control what I say for the most part, but I can’t say anything that’s not the absolute truth.”
    Feng Xin considers this. “It could be worse.”
    Mu Qing’s head snaps up, and he fixes him with a glare. “It could be better. I could be not cursed at all.”

    Summary

    On Xie Lian’s hundredth birthday, a silver butterfly finds him: it is followed, shortly, by a fanged and feral ghost.

    Xie Lian is leery, at first, and draws his sword to keep the ghost at bay as it circles him. It’s really only logical! The ghost is a beast of a thing—tall and whipcord thin, with matted hair and blood-caked boots and tattered robes. This close to Mount Tonglu, Xie Lian can only expect that it’s in the middle of the centennial ghost slaughter; as such, it will naturally be more aggressive.

    Only, the ghost doesn’t attack him.

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng meet several centuries early, and Xie Lian must learn to live with the wild ghost who's taken a keen interest in him.

    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.

    San Lang laughs. It’s low and raw and makes something in Xie Lian’s chest dance. Pitter patter, pitter patter, like ballerina toes. “So why are you meeting with Hua Cheng?”

    “To ask him to live with me,” says Xie Lian immediately.

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng become roommates.

    Summary

    “Congratulations. I think that might be the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.” Mu Qing sounds… pissed off, yeah, but not as pissed off as Feng Xin thought he would be. Mostly, he sounds wary. “You want to—to kiss me again?”

    Yes. More than anything.

    Out loud, Feng Xin says, “I just don’t want you holding a bad kiss over my head for the rest of eternity. Are you gonna let me make this up to you or are you gonna be a little bitch about it?”

    --

    Feng Xin accidentally steals Mu Qing’s first kiss. Naturally, the only logical solution is to give him another one. And another. And another. And another. And—

    A mother and father place their child's hands upon the sword, and lunge straight for Xie Lian's abdomen. Despite knowing it won't prevent the inevitable, Feng Xin can't help but place himself in their line of attack. If this was reality, it would've pierced right through him instead.

     

    But this is an illusion.

     

    No, in his heart Feng Xin knows...

     

    This is a memory.

    “Thanks,” Mu Qing blurts once he realizes that Feng Xin isn’t going to say anything. “But we’re not together. And, uh. We’re trying to shop.” He pauses. “Alone.”

    The man blinks. “Oh! I apologize, I really did get away from-”

    “Yeah,” Feng xin bursts out. “Me, and him? Mu Qing? Please,” he gives his head a shake, cheeks coloring. “I would rather, I would rather die than go on a date with him. Not because I’m homophobic! But just because he hates me. And I hate him. I’m bi, actually. But fuck no. Not on my grandmother’s grave would I ever, ever-”

    In which Feng Xin and Mu Qing get mistaken for a couple (more than once).
