    Summary

    “I’m not sad,” lied Hua Cheng.

    Xie Lian raised his eyebrows and gave a small smile.

    “Ah, San Lang. I thought you would have learned by now. I may be a fool, but it’s not easy to fool me.”

    Upon Hua Cheng's return, he wanted only Xie Lian, and peace. But something is threatening every ghost in his Realm, and dealing with the Council of Savages is still infinitely easier to handle than talking. Because Xie Lian is maddeningly patient. And curious.

    About exactly what Hua Cheng has been doing for the last 800 years.

    Summary

    “We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    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.)

    Summary

    There were no easy how-to guides on the internet for how to go out for drinks with your ex when you hadn’t seen each other in more than a decade. When you hadn’t had a real conversation in even longer than that. When you’d broken up and you’d moved to Russia and only saw each other long enough to practice with the national team in the summers and for the Olympics, and even that was 12 years ago.

    Kiyoomi never thought he'd get a chance to try again.

    Summary

    “Helping Suna find a ring this weekend…” Sakusa paused. “That was…nice…of you.”

    “Can’t say I never did nothin’ for other people.” Atsumu said smugly. “Plus, it wasn’t a complete waste of time. I get some fun out of it too.”

    Sakusa cocked his head to the side. “How so?”

    Atsumu grinned wider, showing all of his teeth. “I helped ‘Samu pick out an engagement ring for Sunarin three weeks ago. Can’t wait to see how this plays out."

    Sakusa Kiyoomi honestly didn’t mean to get pulled into Miya Atsumu’s mess.
