    Summary

    “H-huh?” Reo squawks when he finally comes to his senses. “Wait, no, Nagi, that’s not—”

    It’s too late. Nagi’s already eased the apple out of Reo’s limp hold, and although Reo reaches for it back after a stunned pause, the pause is a little too long, he’s a little too slow, and he can do nothing but watch in ice-cold horror as Nagi bites into the apple—

    A second later, there’s a crumpled pile of dangly limbs dozing on the ground below.

    Reo steps back, a slight shriek slipping out of him unconsciously when Nagi so suddenly collapses to the ground. Isagi startles, too, fumbling backwards as he gapes at the scene in front of him.

    “You—what—” he splutters. “Were you trying to poison me?”

    ---

    or, Reo accidentally poisons Nagi. the cure? true love's kiss, of course.

    Summary

    "Reo Mikage was a monument to his pathological need to be accepted. Failure would mean opening the box he had carefully stuffed with his worst nightmares since he first realized love was always conditional on his perfection.

    But Reo was young, and hubris blooms in those that think they’ve already suffered their due in life.

    He made the mistake of wanting more for himself. He made the mistake of choosing Nagi."

     

    or: reo experiences his worst fears and nagi's as oblivious as ever. shidou makes a friend.

For his tutee also happens to be a son of the Emperor, one of a set of twins.

    Summary

    Mo Ran's best friend (and crush) Shi Mei is suddenly transferring from Sisheng University, and Mo Ran is devastated. But when Shi Mei tells him that the reason he's leaving is because his doctoral supervisor came onto him, Mo Ran's heartbreak turns to rage.

    He's not even surprised. Former child prodigy Chu Wanning might seem as pure as driven snow, but no one is that monomaniacally ethical, that scrupulously altruistic, without hiding some big secret.

    Then, with his parting words, Shi Mei ruefully says that he might be believed if Chu Wanning had been inappropriate with some other student too... and Mo Ran has a brilliant idea.

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
