    Summary

    Feng Xin swallows. “Not to imply that Your Highness isn’t—” Faithful would be the absolute worst word to use, but he can’t think of any other, so he just skips the rest of the sentence entirely. “No one could doubt Your Highness’s regard for Crimson Rain.” Unfortunately. “But… is it the same kind of regard that Crimson Rain holds for Your Highness?”

    Feng Xin and Xie Lian talk about faith.

    Summary

    (All one shots in this series can be read independently, they just all have the same theme)

    Hua Cheng sighed as if terribly put out, but he was smiling too. “I don’t know why gege is so obsessed with calligraphy practice.”

    “San Lang looks like a scholar when he does calligraphy. Very handsome and smart.”

    Hua Cheng grinned back at him. “And then you look at what I’ve done?”

    Xie Lian laughed. “Yes, and then I see what you’ve done.”

    Summary


    "Can you make me feel it?"
    Hua Cheng dropped down his brush, and threw him an intrigued look as he forgo any proper sitting position and leaned on one of his elbows, resting his head in his palm. "Feel what, Your Highness?"
    "The smell and taste of… your… essence."

    ————
    Xie Lian canonically was curious about what ghosts would taste like, so Hua Cheng could surely give him an appetizer, right?

    Summary

    Nightmares aren’t new; if anything, they’re one of the few constants in Xie Lian’s life. Some are worse than others, like suffocating in a coffin or his second ascension.

    But this one…this one’s different. It’s in his bones. Malignant and cold like a tumor invading the marrow.

    Or, A hurt/comfort fic where Xie Lian struggles to process his guilt surrounding Honger’s death. A dissection of shame, grief, and forgiveness.
