    Summary

    “You’re like a hummingbird,” Jiang Cheng said. “You live off of sugar water, eat half your body weight in sugar a day and still look like,” he gestured vaguely at all of Huaisang. “That.”

    “Aw,” Huaisang said, smiling and sticking out his tongue, which had been dyed bright red. “You’re so romantic.”
     

    In which Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang go on a date. Except nobody told Jiang Cheng it was a date. Well, Wei Wuxian told him it was a date, but Jiang Cheng isn't going to just believe him.

    Summary

    The thought had been niggling at the back of his mind quite a bit lately. He wasn’t showing Shang Qinghua proper obeisance, was he? They’d grown so comfortable in their roles - Mobei-Jun as Shang Qinghua’s king, and Shang Qinghua as his dutiful servant - that they hadn’t thought to… stop. It was how it had always been. But things were different, now, weren’t they? They’d been different for a long time now. To ignore that wasn’t proper.

    That stops now, Mobei-Jun decides. His ancestors would be rolling in their graves to see him ignore the proper rites of courtship - the fact that he and Shang Qinghua were already mated besides. He was not raised to be some kind of country rube, as much as being sequestered so far up north might imply otherwise. Shang Qinghua was his partner, and, with all factors properly calculated, the more powerful of the two. It was only proper that Mobei-Jun display an appropriate level of submission to his better.

    --

    Mobei-Jun realizes with increasing clarity that he wants to serve Shang Qinghua. Shang Qinghua does NOT pick up on it.

    Summary

    Who knew that demons had so much structure to their lives! Even their marriage proposals have rules! Shang Qinghua doesn't remember writing any of these rules, guidelines, or rituals, but it makes sense that he would be affected by this world-run-amok all the same.

    He supposes he doesn't quite mind, really.

    Summary

    Mobei Jun is certain he has made it absolutely clear towards Shang Qinghua that he intends to marry him. Shang Qinghua does not realise. At all.

    That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    The first time Shen Qingqiu feels it, he thinks he’s experiencing some sort of minor qi deviation.


    “Shizun,” Luo Binghe asks quietly. “Are you okay?”

    “Am I not allowed to look at my husband?” Shen Qingqiu asks, doing his best not to get snippy. After all he’s a Peak Lord, a powerful cultivator, a man that has cheated death. There’s no reason for him to act like a needy spouse. 

    “My lord,” the servant leans down again with their voice practically purring as they refill a cup that’s only a quarter empty. It catches Luo Binghe’s attention, interrupting the beaming look he had been about to shoot towards Shen Qingqiu. 

    Despite the fact that Luo Binghe looks more bemused than entranced, Shen Qingqiu feels the porcelain cup in his own hand crack.
