    Summary

    Fu Gu was a town, settled in the cradle of mountain ranges, shadowed by the peaks to the north and south. Covered in dense fog nearly all the time, the residents lived in a place without sunlight. Without brightness. Without warmth. The only exit from town was a long, winding single-lane road that sunk down through the mountains, and theoretically met up with the highway. There were folk legends of people driving it for days and somehow turning around to end up back in the town square. There was a saying in Fu Gu, elders liked to tell it to ambitious youths: born in Fu Gu, you’ll never escape, or the demons will drag you back home.

    Summary

    Summary

    There's someone on the bridge, staring up at the cloudless night sky. The full moon’s silvery rays catch on the other man’s earrings, setting them alight as they sway with Qing Xuan’s heartbeat. It feels rather pensive, the way the black-clad man makes no move to acknowledge his existence.

    Stepping forward, he introduces himself. "I'm Shi Qing Xuan, the Wind Master. What's your name?"

    Or; Shi Qing Xuan meets a fellow heavenly official named He Xuan.

    Summary

    “Oh, that’s He Xuan. He’s a regular.” 

    They’re on their break. Shi Qingxuan sips his coke through a straw, a small bag of chips open in his lap. The break room had been so crowded, so they’re sitting in the bath section, tucked near the back where the cheapest tub options are displayed. Shi Qingxuan sits atop a faux-marble countertop, and Xie Lian is sinking relaxedly into the boxy bathtub. His phone is in front of his face, a twizzler dangling from his lips. 

    “At first, I thought he was gonna hit me for telling him we couldn’t do the refund.” 

    Xie Lian snorts, good-naturedly. “He Xuan is as harmless as a butterfly.” He bites off a piece of the twizzler, then takes the rest from his mouth, spinning it between his thumb and forefinger. “He’s just a little...eccentric.” Shi Qingxuan thinks that’s a charitable opinion, but he doesn’t say so. Xie Lian slides his phone into the pocket of the gaudy orange apron that’s a part of their uniforms. “Anyway, manager says we should give him refunds when he wants them. No matter what state he’s bringing things back in.” 

    “Why?” Shi Qingxuan asks, baffled. 

    Biting off another piece of candy, Xie Lian shrugs. “Maybe she’s got a soft spot for him, I dunno.”

    Summary

    Beggars are among the ones who have not given up hope. Hands stretch toward her as He Xuan stalks through. Unfettered by her sharp glances, children, women, men...poverty is a great equalizer, and there is no one type of person that is immune from its effects. To prove that, around the next corner, sitting on a leg wrapped in bandaging, is the target of her dreadful walk through the Imperial City. 

    Shi Qingxuan, somehow, has not changed much in the past five years. His hair still curls, eyes are still bright, and somehow, despite the impossibility of his life improving, Shi Qingxuan has yet to break. As she approaches him, Shi Qingxuan folds down the hood on his head and smiles at her. 

    “Would it be strange to ask for spare coin?” he asks. 

    Instead of answering, He Xuan thrusts the xiaolong in his hand. Shi Qingxuan takes it, very carefully untucking the fragile arm from a makeshift sling. He uses enervated fingers to pull open the top, inhaling the steam that spills out.

    Summary

    Shi Qingxuan was born to be doted on.

    It’s a feat that He Xuan, to this day, hasn’t figured out. Her parents, first, then her brother, all splurging to give her the shiniest life with the bloodiest money.

    And He Xuan could never argue that he’s any different, try as he might.

    Summary

    Heaven is shocked when the once disgraced Lord Wind Master ascends, once again being blessed by the fate he'd unwittingly stolen. As Shi Qingxuan cannot remember what led up to his last days as a mortal, the Heavenly Officials grow suspicious. Xie Lian begins to investigate, retracing Shi Qingxuan's steps in order to find the truth. What caused this second ascension? Is this the second phase of He Xuan's intricate revenge plot? Is Hua Cheng hiding things from him once again, out of loyalty to his fellow Ghost King? As tensions in the Heavenly Realm rise, Shi Qingxuan must decipher his murky memories. He Xuan's presence hangs over him, a shadow that he can't escape.

    Summary

    At the point where Xie Lian is struggling to breathe through the intense winds, he stops and turns his back to the source of it all. He squints to trace back his footsteps, but finds they’ve already faded into smooth snow drifts at the thirty foot mark.

    “…A lot of things out here can catch you off guard if you aren’t careful.”

    Summary

    “You know, you’re the one to beat this year,” Jiang Cheng offers helpfully, having seen the glare from right next to him. “Hanguang-jun’s been through juniors with the rest of us, he knows all of our tics. You’re an unknown variable, since he’s never competed against you before.”

    “Thanks,” says Wei Wuxian drily. “That’s very comforting.”

    Or: five nighthunting competitions where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were rivals, and one where they weren't.

    Summary

    “And it didn’t bother you that the guard thought you were -- that we were -- ?” Nicolò asks, for what is definitely the fourth time, as they bed down, hopefully hidden from view by the reeds and trees of the Nile delta.

    Yusuf sighs, rolling onto his back. “Do I mind that he thought I would be foolish enough to abandon all reason and take up with one of the men who helped sack Al-Quds? Yes, a little. Not enough to stop from using it as a perfectly serviceable escape route.”

    “No,” Nicolò says, “I mean, that you would prefer the company of other men at all.”

    Yusuf blinks, bemused. He hadn’t even thought of that. “As a rule, I try not to be insulted by accusations that are true,” he says drily.

    OR: Five times they were faking it and two times it was real.

    Summary

    He wants, wants, wants.

    Gi-hun swallows the want. Ignores the longing. Squeezes a little tighter on Young-il’s shoulder to check if he’s real.

    “You can’t be here,” Gi-hun says, rough, hushed enough for the bystanders to not catch. They probably still do, the silence in the dormitory deafening.

    “You weren’t supposed to be here,” Young-il says in return, leaning his head on the wall. He sighs and closes his eyes briefly. “You weren’t supposed to find out like this.”

    -

    Or, a retelling of season two, except Gi-hun meets and falls for a man called Young-il during the search party of episode one. They meet again in the games.

    Summary

    Also available in trans Billy flavour because that’s my personal trans agenda.

    Before, they were only as close as Billy let anyone get, but lately the distance between them has been shrinking. He’s not the kind of guy who likes to talk about himself. Mostly he listens, prods, collects, but never offers. He learned young that when you’ve got a brain like he does you can’t afford to tell people what you’re thinking or how you really feel. Stu isn’t one of those people though, Stu has to keep his thoughts secret too and now this is theirs to keep, between them.
     
    This is mostly only going to be in cannon with the first movie (the movie 3 retcon is not for me), but may also diverge in some places, especially when we get to the events closer to the end of the first movie. More specific tags and warnings will be in the end of chapter notes.

    It's easy to get people crawling back when you've got them drip-fed on gender euphoria — almost too easy. As long as Dofy keeps promising it, Dial will keep coming back for more.


    Doflamingo has a lot of thoughts about his developing relationship with the pirate who will eventually be known as Crocodile. What better time to dwell on them, than when he has that same pirate in his lap?

    Sequel to A Necklace of Crocodile Teeth.

    Summary

    Cara isn't sure why she has such a habit of crushing on gay men. She's even less sure why this one seems to be okay with it, but hey — she's not complaining.


    When Dial Cara gets captured by a rookie pirate by the name of Donquixote Doflamingo, she's expecting very little. At worst, he'll realize she's worth nothing to him and kill her; at best, he'll let her go instead. Hell, with the way Doflamingo's been letting her flirt with him, she might even get laid.

    What she gets, however, is a little more... complicated.
