Summary
He Xuan starts coughing so loudly and so violently that for a second Xie Lian loses track of reality, and thinks it was He Xuan who got buried under what feels like half a mountain, and not Xie Lian. It’s only as he tries to get up, alarmed, that the pain shoots through his body and reminds him why that would be a terrible idea. A grunt of pain must escape him, because He Xuan pushes him down again. This time, he leaves his hand on his shoulder, a constant reminder to “stay the fuck down, dianxia, fucking idiot.”
“You sounded like you were in pain. Are you sure you weren’t hurt in the collapse?”
“It really is very galling to be fretted upon by a man who is bleeding half of his intestines unto the floor.”
(or: Xie Lian and He Xuan end up trapped in a cave together, and Xie Lian won't stop saying upsetting things. It's probably the concussion.)

Summary
The man standing over him has eyes like knives, sharp and cold and black.
“There are no masks allowed in the Ghost Fortress, Heavenly Official,” he says. His voice is polite, but it too contains knives.
Hua Cheng can appreciate that. A blade is a blade is a blade. Sheathed or pressed to one’s neck, it is still just as sharp. There is no use pretending it is anything otherwise.
The man in front of him is a blade held up to Hua Cheng’s heart, though perhaps he does not know it yet.

Summary
“Alright.” Hua Cheng said, rolling his shoulders back a few times. “Oh magnificent god of mine, Taizi Dianxia,” he said, grinning, eyes firmly locked on Xie Lian’s. Xie Lian made a show of rolling his eyes. “Grant me your strength so I might vanquish your enemies on this mortal plane.”
Sorcery grad student Hua Cheng accidentally summons long-forgotten god Xie Lian into his dorm room in the middle of the night. They figure things out from there.

Summary
Through the frozen mist in the tank, a figure lurches toward the glass, fingers curling in the frost. Dark hair frozen in a seal-slick, like oil in viscous fluid. A naked torso, deathly pale and riddled with those blue veins like tributaries. One hand wrenches the cryotank mouthpiece away from his face, and the man in the tank bares his teeth in a snarl as he looks down at Xie Lian, and then stops.
“Oh,” Xie Lian breathes.
The man in the tank is a shade elf.

Summary
“Today,” Hua Cheng announces, barging into He Xuan’s disaster of a room, really another realm fit for Eldritch monsters with the way his eyes refuse to focus entirely in the glow of He Xuan’s four million black-shaded lamps, “gege kissed me. On the cheeks. Both of them. Are you listening?”
“I could’ve been masturbating,” says He Xuan.
“Your dick is small enough that I wouldn’t notice, I’m sure. Like jacking off a little peanut.”
“You—”
Pretending to date Xie Lian is a lot like gambling. Roll on, slot machine. Roll on.

Summary
“Hello!” a new voice sing-songs from the opposite side of the room. It’s loud enough for everyone’s attention to be thoroughly moved, and Hua Cheng too glances over to see who it is. The voice continues, “Dinner is ready, everyone!”
Hua Cheng’s eyes land on the figure of the person, and—
Holy fucking shit.
Hua Cheng meets Xie Lian at a dingy house party and falls in love.

Summary
It is a weird thing to wake up and realise that for the first time in 800 years, you are no longer in love. Hua Cheng felt it even before he opened his eyes, could taste it in the back of his throat. Even the air around him felt different: stale, and with a strange odour to it. With his eyes still closed, he took stock of his other mental facilities, and it all came back in order, except—
Except that for the first time in 800 years, he thinks of Xie Lian and feels nothing.
(in which Hua Cheng's devotion gets stolen, and no one is happy about it.)

Summary
Jinshi, self-proclaimed General Assistant to the CEO, is honestly really getting on Maomao's nerves.
Yes she blindly followed his lead into Ka Corporate Holdings, because the title of forensic accountant sounded so fucking cool and interesting and the pay is amazing, but no that does not mean this is ever part of her job description.
Jinshi hired her on a whim, and Maomao accepted, also on a whim. Neither of them could have ever imagined that they would ever prefer to stay together.
This is probably worldbuilding for the office AU, but dear reader, you be the judge. Spoilers tagged as needed!
2/18: Updated with Chapter 5! Epilogue to be posted separately.

Summary
"You saved my life," Todoroki says.
Izuku freezes. Then he looks up. Todoroki Shouto is staring at him, his eyes calm but wide, dust and soot all over his face. His perfect, handsome face. He's more beautiful in person than Izuku could have imagined.
"You just saved all of us," Todoroki says again. "What's your name?"
"M-Midoriya," Izuku chokes out. "Midoriya Izuku."
Todoroki nods. "Midoriya. Thank you."
--
Midoriya Izuku is a university sophomore, a fanboy, quirkless. On the list of things he is not: a hero.
That's why he's more surprised than anyone when he rescues Todoroki Shouto, his favorite pro hero, from a deadly villain attack. His actions fling him into the media spotlight, grabbing the attention of the entire country, including Todoroki himself. But Todoroki actually wants to get to know him past the headlines.
Izuku finds himself living a story straight out of a fairy tale, one where the mysterious, handsome prince is played by the real-life superhero he has always admired. But Izuku is convinced he's the ugly duckling, not the swan; could he ever be remarkable enough to get his happily ever after?

Marie’s eyebrows knit together, she’s not looking at him, eyes trained intensely on a pooling puddle of blood on the floor. “Oh, um. Yeah, it’s- it’s cool, everything got pretty confusing so…”
“Yeah.” Jordan repeats. But that isn’t- that wasn’t enough. She can’t leave it there, not again. “Wait no,”

“Obviously it’s important to you, or your heart wouldn’t still be racing right now,” she deadpans as she sits down at the foot of their bed. “And you’d be able to actually look at me.”
“Oh, you’re fucking infuriating, Moreau,” they spit.
“Am I?” She asks. “Or do you just fucking hate talking about how you feel to anyone that’s not the mirror?”

Summary
“The only solution is a united front,” Yennefer says. When this just prompts blank expressions, she sighs. “Honestly, do I have to spell it out? I mean the two of you should get married.”
Geralt stares at her. Jaskier’s mouth drops open. Tissaia says, thoughtfully, “that could actually work.”
“No it couldn’t!” Jaskier says, loud and shrill.
After Calanthe and Eist are killed, the fate of Cintra hangs in the balance. The only solution is an alliance between two men: the witcher Geralt of Rivia, bound to the princess by the Law of Surprise, and Cirilla’s uncle Julian, better known as Jaskier the bard.

Summary
“Why do you wear that collar?” the witcher asks.
Jaskier startles. He’s been fiddling with it, he realises, a nervous habit. He didn’t think the witcher had noticed, even though those golden eyes seem to spot most things.
“It’s so people know what I am,” he says.
“And what are you?” the witcher says. His tone has turned surprisingly gentle. Perhaps he can hear the misery in Jaskier’s voice.
“Bound in service,” Jaskier explains. He tries on a smile. “It might not look like it, but I’m as much of a prisoner as you are.”
Jaskier didn’t exactly plan to escape from his master alongside a terrifying witcher. But it might turn out to be one of his better decisions.

Hermione is familiar with fighting: for respect, for attention, for justice. She’s even made a career of it; working on behalf of creatures and beings. But her battle against the Ministry’s marriage law is one she loses. Badly. And now, she has to contend with not only public derision and patriarchal politics, but her growing feelings for her government-mandated spouse.
