    Summary

    A storm shrouds Jing Yuan’s shoulders. He smells like wind and lightning, like rain on a sunny day, like dark soil and the life that blooms from it. He smells like… like the Luofu, that very first time Dan Heng stepped into the sunlight, that very first time he beheld the world with his own eyes.

    Saliva fills his mouth. His stomach churns now as it did back then, trepidation warring with a longing so sudden and fierce that Dan Heng can’t think of anything else. This feeling—it can’t be anything else.

    But then Jing Yuan says, “It’s been a long time, old friend”—and the candlelight in Dan Heng’s chest hisses out.

    Jing Yuan and Dan Feng weren't soulmates.

    Jing Yuan and Dan Heng are.

    Summary

    Pacify:
    1. To allay the anger or agitation of
    2. To reduce to a submissive state

    He would do his duty. He would save Draco, if he could. He would protect the students, if and when the school fell to the Deatheaters. And Potter. As far as he was concerned, Potter could have whatever he wanted, now. What was the point of trying to tell him no if he was going to be sacrificed on the pyre of the greater good? If Potter wanted to learn, Severus would be his teacher. If he wanted a master, then Severus would make him submit. And if he wanted a lover... well. Severus would love him. And that was it. Anything else was a waste of time. And there was so little of that.

    ***

    A complete reimagining of books six and seven (plus), running parallel to canon. And then a SHARP DIVERSION FROM CANON.

    ***

    From a reader: "Basically, Pacify is like, you know how in canon both Harry and Severus are pushed and pushed and pushed by external forces/emotional manipulation until they are backed into a corner? Pacify is...what if they were backed into the same corner?"

    Summary

    8th Years Potions class promises nothing but continued torture for Harry, until Headmistress McGonagall points it out to him that perhaps the best way to silence Snape is simply to prove himself to the professor. But if killing Voldemort wasn't enough, could Harry really impress the Half-Blood Prince with only brewing?

    Summary

    Jing Yuan blinks, and the world around him tilts and morphs so quickly that he could almost mistake himself for having fainted if he wasn’t clearly still upright and standing. A look around the room they are currently in, and it only takes a moment for memory to kick in and recognise it as his master’s old estate.

    Except… it doesn’t exist. Not anymore.

    His beloved Dan Heng, who is still standing across from him, and who has always been considerably shorter than him, is now directly at his eye level. Judging by the horrified look he has on his face, he must have also come to the same conclusion.

    (Or : In which a gift from Stelle sends Jing Yuan and Dan Heng tumbling into the past.

    Turns out trying to act like a 700 year younger version of yourself is not nearly as easy as one thinks; and meeting your previous incarnation that hugely fucked up your current life isn’t so bad after all.)
