    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

    Summary

    [Fic contains spoilers for the entirety of TGCF]

    So yes, technically Hua Cheng himself took the childbearing pill, and technically Xie Lian then… Fulfilled the other role necessary in that equation. A few times. But really, it was only a joke! It had all been in good fun. Something to make Xie Lian laugh and blush.

    This isn't what Hua Cheng intended.

    ——

    Child-Bearing Pills from ghost city only work on ghosts, but they do work. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng find this out the hard way.

    Summary

    For all that he complains about having spoiled his ghost king, Xie Lian loves indulging Hua Cheng’s every whim

    For all that Hua Cheng lives for his god, he loves dying for him too.


    “I’ve always dreamed,” Hua Cheng whispers at last, still pressed against his mouth as if Xie Lian’s kiss unlocked his silence, “of dianxia walking me to death’s door and seeing me through himself. How gentle it would be. How good it would feel, dying in dianxia’s arms, knowing I have pleased him.”

    [In an elaborate roleplay involving a new skin made to mimic human life, Xie Lian fucks Hua Cheng to death. Of course, Hua Cheng is already dead, but it's the thought that counts.]

    Summary

    It starts like every other fight. Liu Qingge lands one hit to Luo Binghe's every three, both of them bruising and collecting injuries like art. It drags on until the sunlight starts to fade, until they're both breathing heavily and covered in a fine sheet of sweat.

    And then Luo Binghe makes a mistake.

    It's small - just a minor misstep, an unfortunate shift of balance. Against any other opponent, it wouldn't mean a thing. Wouldn't make a difference. But Liu Qingge has been watching. Liu Qingge has been waiting for Luo Binghe to make a mistake for years. He quickly changes his attack mid-step, throwing his weight against the opening Luo Binghe's mistake left, and Luo Binghe falls. Liu Qingge falls with him, of course -he compromised too much of his balance with that attack - but he makes sure to end up on top, straddling Luo Binghe and pressing the flat of Cheng Luan's blade to his neck.

    Without meaning to, without thinking to stop it, Liu Qingge smiles at him, bright and genuine and triumphant.

    Luo Binghe's breath catches.

    "I win."

    ---

    ~Or~ The one where Liu Qingge actually wins a fight and Luo Binghe ends up getting a little hot for Shishu.

    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    “You know, the whole time while I was away, I couldn’t seem to stop thinking about gege and all those pretty sounds you made this morning when I fucked your cute little hole.”
    Hearing this, Xie Lian’s breath hitches. He swallows, anticipation building up in his stomach. “Is that so?”
    “Mmm,” Hua Cheng hums. “Won’t you let me hear those sounds again?”

    Summary

    Usually, when faced with one of Harry's non sequiturs, Kim would intentionally force his face to remain neutral, carefully hiding either confusion or a grin.

    This time however, he opened his mouth to speak, then stopped himself before a single word left his lips. His eyebrows creased in a look of intense concentration, while his gaze went right through Harry, then snapped back into focus. Before the lieutenant was able to reign in his expression again, something flickered over his face.

    HALF-LIGHT - Fear.

    ___
    Or: Kim is once again confronted with the Skills - this time, his own. Harry of course doesn't know any other way of being - but to Kim, it becomes a question of identity, and a rather urgent one at that.

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
    -----
    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

    Summary

    Stede is ready to 'get back out there' after his divorce, but he's more than a little bit intimidated by the concept of online dating. After a series of truly terrible first dates, he's close to giving up on love altogether. Perhaps he's too old for all this Grindr nonsense.

    And then, along comes a bartender called Edward Teach.

    Summary

    “I read the books about you,” Muriel said matter-of-factly.

    Crowley wasn’t following. “The books about me?”

    “The letter books to Aziraphale’s friend Diary? You must know them. They must be an angel, but I don’t think I’ve ever met them before.”

    Crowley coughed heavily. “You’ve read Aziraphale’s diary?”

    Summary

    To say that John is interested in the stranger who’s been sitting at the far end of his bar for nearly three hours now would be an understatement. For one thing, the man has only ordered a single drink and is still nursing it, even though the ice is completely melted and watered-down whiskey is less than pleasant.

    For another, in the low light of the club, he looks just like Arthur Lester.

    .

    Following the death of his daughter, famous film composer and pianist Arthur Lester drops out of the music scene and disappears from the public eye. Ten years later, Arthur now works as a private investigator and has no interest in performing or composing ever again.

    John is intrigued by Arthur, who comes to his club to drink on the rare nights that there’s no music scheduled. As they meet again and again, they begin to grow closer. But Arthur isn’t the only one with a past he’s trying to run away from.

    Summary

    Somewhere Else isn't right, and they've never talked about what happened in the Panopticon, but so what? They're together. The Fears aren’t gone, no, but behind a curtain, subdued.

    Martin actually loves the small-village life, farming and friends and found family. Jon is... managing. They're making it work.

    But the universe they landed in is occupied, and its current rulers are very interested in the new kids. Entities made of Fear, attached to a damaged ex-human and his surprisingly sneaky lover? Who could resist playing with that?

    Everyone has plans, and plans under those plans. What happens when a web grows too heavy to support its own weight?

    "Tears and blood, blood and tears," says Kayne.

    He is not wrong.

    Now with FANART! Ahh! It will be posted in the final chapter, because it's spoilerific, but ahh! Thank you, Pikachic!
