Summary
Once, when he is just nine, Zhou Zishu gains his first shidi. But, after only a short time, the boy and his family disappear. Too young to understand the details, Zishu nevertheless senses the grief that now wraps around his own shifu.
When Zhou Zishu is fifteen, new rumors spread and the righteous sects of the Jianghu gather to defeat the Ghost Valley. Unexpectedly, his long lost shidi is recovered. Yet after five years, the little boy Zishu recalls has changed. Too much, some whisper.
Canon divergence for Tianyake and Qi Ye: what if, instead of becoming Valley Master, Wen Kexing was rescued?

Summary
Prince Jin sends Tian Chuang to attack Ghost Valley, seeking the key to the World's Armoury. Betrayed by his rivals, the Valley Master is captured and brought to the palace in chains, where Prince Jin decrees that he will be married to Zhou Zishu as a low-ranked concubine. Tasked with forcing his new husband to give up the location of the armoury key, Zhou Zishu didn't bank on the Valley Master being quite so attractive - or so obnoxiously charming. As their initial distrust gives way to a growing connection, Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing begin to consider the possibility of a life outside of the Valley and Tian Chuang - if they can figure out a way to escape Prince Jin.

Summary
“Aren’t you worried I’ll lose my medical skills with my memories?” Gu Miaomiao asks, trying to sound unafraid.
The valley master laughs. “No one’s lost their skill yet. Besides, we just killed your husband. I think I know what you’ll forget.”
Her son stiffens behind her at those words, and Gu Miaomiao grips his shoulder tighter. He cannot move if they are to survive this.
“Alright. We’ll drink, then,” she says. The ghosts laugh, presumably at the thought that she has a choice, but she does. To die is a viable option when the alternatives presented are worse. She has a choice right now.
Fic written by deepestbluesky, with podfic read by minnabird.

“Did she just turn into a snake?” Lin Yuzhui said.
“Yes.” Zhen Ruyu bent, letting Gu Miaomiao curl around his fingers like a thin red ribbon. He draped her over the nape of his neck, and she settled her head just over his throat. “Not to worry. She’ll stay like this for a few hours, but she’s all right.”
“She looks…” Lin Yuzhui looked at her warily. “Poisonous.”
Zhen Ruyu smiled, a mild expression. “Extremely so.”

Summary
This isn't the first time he's used this trick, Zishu thinks as the idea occurs to him. Despite the drug men still howling into the air around them, the chill of the coffin home cutting into his bones, he smiles. Without the help of Drunk Like a Dream, he recalls a memory, though he quickly dismisses it in favor of helping his companion regain his senses.
He isn't expecting the man before him to widen his eyes indignantly and echo the accusation playing in his mind from so long ago.OR: the time Gu Miaomiao solicited Zhou Zishu's assistance in making her son take his medicine, in three parts.

Summary
“You don’t like me,” Zhou Zishu said after a moment, after the autumn evening chill started to creep in under his carelessly thrown-on coat. Gu Miaomiao breathed out slowly, watching the smoke dissipate into the dark, city-orange sky.
“My son loves you,” she said. “What does it matter what I feel?”
After years of running away from his own feelings, Zhou Zishu tries to make it right for once.

I found you in the river, Wen Kexing replies. The water was fast and shallow and clear. It carried you right into my arms.

Summary
He couldn’t find anything in Wen Kexing’s body that should be keeping him from waking; it stood to reason that it was his mind that was the problem. Zhou Zishu probably knew Wen Kexing’s mind as well as anyone else alive or dead, and he doubted it was straightforward. So he read about the techniques of Healer Valley, and held Wen Kexing’s wrist or his hand or his cool cheek. The prevailing theory was that the best way to settle a person’s mind for them was in dreams. After all, wasn’t it dreams that told the truth when nothing else would?
Zhou Zishu wasn’t sure that was true. And he didn’t imagine that Wen Kexing would appreciate having his secrets dragged into the light that way. But frankly it was his own fault; it wasn’t as though he’d left Zhou Zishu any choice. If Wen Kexing would only wake up, he would welcome his complaints.

Summary
Wen Kexing's moods changed like the wild weather in summer, pouring over Ghost Valley with its wrath, but this was unusual even for him. First, the decision to permit Ghost Valley residents into the human world. Then, a three day long collapse that had made Gu Xiang so frantic, she'd been on the verge of kidnapping a healer. His first action on waking had been to slice a line on his forearm, murmur, "Not hell, and not Drunk Like A Dream, huh," and collapse dramatically onto his bed.
"Is the Glazed Armour so important? You've been strange since Hanging Ghost stole it," she'd asked, at which point he had shot up and demanded to know the date.

Summary
Everyone in the room froze. In the seconds that passed, Gu Xiang saw that their position was also dawning on Cao-ge, late as would be expected of an idiot like him.
She would like to pay attention to the way the blush seemed to spread over his face, the way it crawled from his cheeks to his ears and neck. However, there was another person in the room that she needed to pay attention to.
Master wasn’t moving, taking in the scene with an expression that was far too calm.
His face had smoothed out. His eyes lost that shine she had so seldom seen before, but nowadays was visible so often that she almost could start taking it for granted. Now, that silent wonder and contentment was bleeding away, leaving nothing but granite and ashes.
Something snapped.
A misunderstanding occurs and someone gets thrown through a wall.
Featuring Wen Kexing, who is getting really sick and tired of his emotional breakdowns.

Summary
“Ah, here they are. Safe and sound. No thanks to that useless boy,” Wen Kexing grumbles, and Gu Xiang almost asks what Chengling has done this time before she looks up.
That’s right. He isn’t talking about Zhang Chengling. He’s talking about Cao Weining. Cao-dage is here, right in front of her.
Cao Weining is here and alive. She’s here and alive. None of this makes any sense, but Gu Xiang doesn’t care. If they’re all still alive, then surely she has a chance to make sure they stay that way, and there is absolutely no way she will allow what happened before to happen to Cao Weining again.
