    Summary

    Xie Lian manages to save a scrap of Wu Ming’s dispersed soul after he is torn apart by the resentful spirits at Lang-er Bay. He becomes determined to help the ghost regain his physical form. After White No-Face's defeat at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor, Xie Lian makes a deal with Jun Wu to adjust his shackle to allow him to use spiritual energy only for the sake of others, and never himself.

    Banished and homeless, Xie Lian protects the tiny scrap of soul and dedicates everything he has to pouring energy into helping repair it. The opening of Mount Tonglu seems to be the perfect place to harvest spiritual energy, so Xie Lian decides to enter the barrier and battle thousands of ghosts if it will help restore Wu Ming’s soul.

    Summary

    Ah. The Asshole Dog is loose again. Lan Zhan knows that it is not the dog’s fault for being an asshole, but The Asshole Dog is the reason Lan Zhan had a fence put in at a significant personal expense, because the alternative was allowing his garden to be destroyed and for Bunny to be menaced on her leashed outdoor adventures. Unacceptable. The Most Beautiful Man in the World cringes at the barking, scooting further away from the door through a sea of a dozen broken eggs and leaving a yolky trail in his wake.

    “Fuck,” he whimpers, curling into a ball, both hands wrapped around the back of his neck as if to—as if to protect himself, Lan Zhan realizes. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, please—” The Most Beautiful Man in the World begs, voice ragged. He’s definitely hyperventilating now, from what Lan Zhan can tell between the audible sobs. There’s another bark from outside, and The Most Beautiful Man in the World flinches bodily, making a terrified sound that Lan Zhan feels behind his ribs.

    Or: A meet ugly, a dog, and the beginning of something wonderful.

    Summary

    NSFW Chapter Guide: 9, 11, 14, 21, (TBA)

    Pei Ming's head snapped up. "Wait, seriously? You were a neurosurgeon?"
    Xie Lian nodded. "Yes. At Wuhan Union Hospital for several years."
    "And now you mop floors?" Pei Ming asked incredulously.
    "Yes, now I mop floors,” Xie Lian replied with a faint smile. “And I'm perfectly content doing so."

    TL;DR:
    Disgraced ex-neuro surgeon Xie Lian becomes a janitor, tries not to have a breakdown, accidentally starts helping again via sticky notes, gets railed by a hot trauma surgeon, and then gets blackmailed into hospital embezzlement.

    It’s fine. He’s fine. Everything is very normal and fine.

    This fic contains:
    – brain-breaking sex and brain-putting-back-in-afterward sex
    – Catholic levels of guilt
    – moral rot in the healthcare system
    – Texaco Mike
    – medical surgeons as a metaphor for godhood
    – and one man’s slow descent into bureaucratically sanctioned hell

    NOTE: Smut scenes are modular, meaning you can read them, skip them, or come back to them later (for research, obviously). They're my magna opera, but you won’t miss any essential plot by skipping them.

    Summary

    "How could you possibly be into Xie Lian? You don't know him!"

    "I know he has a gentle voice! I know he has a kind smile," Hua Cheng hummed happily, thinking more deeply about Xie Lian, "I know his laughter is so warm and delicate. Like a butterfly drifting in the wind over a field of wildflowers on a summer's day."

    "What the fuck does that even mean?" He Xuan's exasperation was muffled by the crackers he was still chewing, "Whatever, I'm not setting you up with my best friend."

    --

    AKA: The one where Hua Cheng discovers that his annoying roommate's best friend is actually the most beautiful man to ever exist and sells his soul (and wallet) for a chance at love.

    Summary

    The second time Hua Cheng meets the love of his life he’s pretty sure he’s hallucinating. How else to explain the gasp of “San Lang!” as Xie Lian’s face comes into blurry view just above him. It’s an effect of the drug he thinks, or maybe the blood loss, or hell, maybe both. It’s raining, just like last time, and he can feel the cold droplets falling onto his skin, but it’s a distant muzzy sensation, like the stone of the alley pressing against his back and legs, like the pain in his side and the blood pooling between his fingers, like the warm hands now running across his skin. But those are imaginary, remembered. They have to be.

    There’s no way that Xie Lian is actually here.
