    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”

    Summary

    “Do you always stare at strange sharks, little fish?” Wriothesley asks, rolling his tail in a lazy undulation, propelling himself in an indolent arc around Neuvillette’s body.

    Neuvillette’s heart pounds in his chest, a wild and strange beating that he has never felt before. His mouth is somehow dry for all the water that floods it, and he finds himself trembling even though he feels nothing of fear.

    “You are not strange,” Neuvillette says, turning in a slow revolution to match Wriothesley. “I know something of you.”

    “Do you?” Wriothesley asks, and Neuvillette is once more keenly aware of the fact that Wriothesley is a predator.

    After Neuvillette saves his life, Wriothesley offers him shelter from a deadly storm.

    Summary

    In which Wriothesley, owner of a wildlife rescue and sanctuary, rescues a weird-looking not-gopher in a pool, which leads him down a strange mystery involving a government conspiracy, an illegal smuggling ring, and a Iudex that has disappeared from the office, sending Fontaine in a frenzy. Little does he know, the missing Iudex Neuvillette is a lot closer to him than he realizes.

    (All he has to do is look closer at the fluffy otter creature currently curled against his chest, shamelessly using his pecs as his pillow.)

When Muggle medicine fails, Severus Snape is the one to answer the call for aid. He soon realizes that all he has been told of the boy's 'pampered', 'loved' and 'spoiled' life have been utter fabrications.

    Summary

    Greed, the pursuit of power, desires of the flesh… All of these things and more stand as roadblocks in the way of following the path laid out by his beloved Aeon of Beauty. And for some like himself, born an Omega, with such desires an inherent part of his being, they have to try all the harder to overcome such trials in their pursuit of Beauty.

     

    And while other Knights may bemoan the fact that this is the hand they’ve been dealt in life, Argenti conversely has chosen to see it as a blessing. A test, a trial, through which he may prove just how unwavering his faith in Idrila truly is. As he has to give up so much more of himself, going against his very nature, to embark on this journey to follow THEM. Of which he has done so happily, and always without question.

    Or when Argenti's suppressants suddenly stop working, and he goes into heat for the first time in his life, he's faced with the hardest trial he's ever been given by his Aeon. But at least there is some solace that he will not have to go through it alone...

    Summary

    There is a shuddering breath that draws from the hunter's chest, ragged with fatigue and a hint of dry laughter. Childe grins, leaning closer as his thumb ghosts over his pulse point, feeling the flutter of his heartbeat against his fingertips.

    "Go on," The hunter whispers. "Do it."

    Tilting his head to the side, Childe presses his face into the juncture between the hunter's jaw and his neck, savoring that earthy scent of sage and leather, and he presses his lips to his skin.
    There is a flinch, a hand flying to grip the back of the vampire's shirt, and it only tightens when Childe presses a soft kiss to his jugular vein. The hunter looks away, a fine dusting of pink coating his cheeks.

    "You're cute."

    The hunter scoffs. "You're an idiot."

    [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.

    ——

    Summary

    The village Hua Cheng lives in has a peculiar legend associated with it; even though the sea was forever tepid and calm, you were never to swim in its waters, lest you be pulled down and drowned by one of the mermaids who patrol its depths. When he was a child, Hua Cheng almost met that same end.

    Intending to slay one of the beasts and claim the bounty set on its head, Hua Cheng soon finds himself hopelessly drawn to the wanted merman and, in time, begins to uncover the true history behind his village and the curse which plagues it.

    Summary

    “I’m a novelist,” Zhongli answered, his eyes now having the courage to hold the man’s gaze.

    “Ah,” the man smirked, “a man of art, I see.” And then he drinks, before putting it down on the counter. “Which genre is your forte?”

    Zhongli looked into his eyes, the way he blinks, the way his pupils are looking at his eyes and casually looking at his lips, he answered, “Vampires.”

    He noticed it, Zhongli noticed how his eyes narrowed, his head was slightly tilted up to look down on him, a small smug smirk curving on the corner of his lips, and how his pupils were blown wide with interest.

    A novelist was determined to change the perceptions of Humans towards the Vampires, but there are only limited sources for his piece. What is his next step? That is to hunt a vampire and interview them.

    Summary

    Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.

    Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.

    It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.
