    Summary

    There is something calming in cleaning his weapon. Using the finely crafted material of the blanket, Xiao wipes the remaining blood from his weapon. In front of him, the magistrate starts pleading, offering to give him anything he wants–money, status, women–in exchange for his life. It does nothing but grate at Xiao’s nerves and it’s a moment of reprieve when his polearm finally hits home, quieting the night for the last time.

    For he has withstood the trials sent by the skies, the trials of the earth too shall he bear by the love and life of his own heart.

    Summary

    “Can you come back for me, love?” His voice rings with an impossible quality as his heart aches at the uncomfortable shivers that wrack Xiao’s frame. He wishes he could do more, wishes with his entire being that Xiao will one day miraculously be free of the corruption and binds forever. Sometimes, Venti loathes and he hates; he resents Morax for his infinite contracts, resents the fallen gods for their undead hatred, resents the rest of the world for throwing this weight upon one gentle soul--because he knows that Xiao, with the weight of the karmic debt, cannot afford to hold hatred in his heart, that he must let things go lest he let the corruption break his soul.

     


    Venti finds Xiao alone and quiet on a glittering night, and meets him halfway.

    Summary

    Perhaps it’s the ache in their chests or the fact that they’re both breathing through punctured lungs and broken ribs, but nothing fills the space between them but their rasping sighs and desolation, and neither of them comment on the fact that a damaged throat is the least of their worries.

    "We're not getting out," Oikawa says with finality.

    Summary

    “Iwa-chan, what do you know about soulmates?” Oikawa pops the question out of nowhere in the afternoon of one of their practices as they’re picking up balls near the entrance to the gym. Iwaizumi doesn't know how to answer, because his soulmate has been so glaringly obvious ever since he'd been assaulted by the taste of milk bread every day.

    Iwaoi taste soulmates au! or, making use of tooru oikawa's favorite food is milk bread as a plot device.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe wakes up to new beginnings. His paths with Shen Qingqiu, however, are still just as intertwined as they were in his faraway memories of a life long gone. Finding each other isn't easy, but it's worth it, in the end.

    Kind of a reincarnation-au sequel to "lover, please stay," but can be read as standalone

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua was not tired. He wasn’t. He couldn’t afford to be, not when he had twin mountains of paperwork waiting on him. But sometimes, he wanted nothing but to cry and break and wallow in self pity over his heartache and loneliness.
