    Summary

    “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

    “I think so,” Sizhui says.

    “To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

    “Yes,” Sizhui says.

    “So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

    Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

    Summary

    After two thousand years of peace, few in the three realms can remember a time when gods, the ghost realm, or cultivators were at odds with one another.

    But while gods may live forever, peace does not.

    And while some enemies are unseen, they may be beyond remedy.

    Summary

    Deep down, he is certain he should not be allowed to have this. But he was selfish since he was a child and now he is also greedy. He takes hold of his god’s hands, the warmth giving him confidence—if he has a chance, he will grab it.

    So Wu Ming takes a step closer.

    “This humble believer would gladly give his god everything he has,” he declares. “If Dianxia… would be willing to take it?”

    The last part clearly wasn’t supposed to come out as a question, but Xie Lian was smiling so brightly and sincerely that Wu Ming’s tone rose with surprise.

    “Only if this precious believer also takes everything I have,” the god replies.
    ___

    Or,

    Xie Lian wakes up to find his husband shifted into his Nameless servant from the past. He decides to spoil him with affection.

    Summary

    The two looked at each other for a few seconds that seemed like an endless time in their eyes, until Hua Cheng finally plucked up the courage to ask Xie Lian the thing he had been planning for some time, since before they met on that ox cart.

     

    Hua Cheng continued to stare at him for another series of seconds, took a big breath and finally asked " Dianxia" "Will you marry me ?"

    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

    And then when he looked a bit closer, at the same jaw line, at the same black hair, at the same collar bone, at the same boy, Xie Lian realized his touch felt even more familiar then anything else.

    The same rough hand that held his hand so gently.

    "...Wu Ming?"

    Summary

    Heavy, black ring meets water surface with a bright, tinkling splash. It sounds almost like a laughter.

    It hurts, from some reason.

    The wind carries the sound further and further away from He Xuan.

    Good. He never deserved this laughter, and he doesn’t get to have it on his deathbed either.

     

    Or: He Xuan is ready to cease existence.

    Summary

    On Xie Lian’s hundredth birthday, a silver butterfly finds him: it is followed, shortly, by a fanged and feral ghost.

    Xie Lian is leery, at first, and draws his sword to keep the ghost at bay as it circles him. It’s really only logical! The ghost is a beast of a thing—tall and whipcord thin, with matted hair and blood-caked boots and tattered robes. This close to Mount Tonglu, Xie Lian can only expect that it’s in the middle of the centennial ghost slaughter; as such, it will naturally be more aggressive.

    Only, the ghost doesn’t attack him.

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng meet several centuries early, and Xie Lian must learn to live with the wild ghost who's taken a keen interest in him.
