    But every display needs an audience of admirers.

    Summary

    A retelling of “The Golden Fox,” from Lan Xichen’s POV. Chapter One covers Chapters One to Eleven of the main fic, and Chapter Two will cover Chapters Twelve to Twenty-Four. Reading this addendum is not necessary to enjoy the main fic, but I would highly recommend reading the main fic before reading the addendum.

    Summary

    Mu Qing planted his knees on the mat, bent himself in a backward arch, then caught an ankle in each hand. The pervert beside him very unsubtly averted his gaze.

    Mu Qing scowled.

    “Hey dickwad,” he whisper-hissed, “keep drooling over my ass and I’ll stick my foot up yours.”

    Feng Xin, the dickwad in question, blushed furiously as he hurried to match Mu Qing’s pose.

    or: Xie Lian runs a yoga studio and tasks his best instructor Mu Qing with giving a one-on-one lesson to his close personal friend—Feng Xin (A.K.A. the most inflexible piece of shit Mu Qing’s ever had the displeasure of teaching).

    Summary

    This was torture. Lan Xichen was torturing him. He really had been scheming all this time, Jiang Cheng decided, scheming to torture him with perverted and shameless fantasies until he went mad from sleep deprivation.

    Well that fucker had another thing coming. This marked the third day since his last visit to the Cloud Recesses. Four more days. Then he’d return for their standing appointment.

    Either to fuck Lan Xichen or kill him. He’d decide when he got there.

    He lifted his head enough to finish the wine, dropped it back on the table, then hiccuped.

    * * *

    four days later. . .

    When Jiang Cheng sobered up, he realized his fuck or kill plan was insane. Obviously he couldn’t do either of those things, no matter how much he wanted to—not that he wanted to fuck Lan Xichen. He didn’t. Obviously. That had been the wine talking.

    Obviously.

    (or: A very dense Jiang Cheng misinterprets Lan Xichen’s painfully subtle proposal of courtship by convincing himself that Lan Xichen must be plotting something nefarious. (Why else would he waste his time drinking tea and taking strolls with a bad-tempered, bullheaded asshole he barely knows??))

    Summary

    Aki Hayakawa never wanted a family, not after losing his own.
    Yet somehow, Denji and Power wormed their way in, loud and reckless like the storm in his head. They weren’t family. They weren’t even human.
    Losing them would be worse than devastating, maybe catastrophic was the word? Either way, he was stupid enough to let himself care at all.

    Summary

    And when he thinks of Himeno, he cries. He sees the tailends of her smile from beyond a lighter’s glow and his chest feels like it’s being crushed. His own movement on the hospital bed mirrors hers when the night was too quiet to spend alone, just before she fell asleep holding him, and he has to stay very still if he doesn’t want to break into pieces. He thinks of Himeno and doesn’t remember a work partner, he thinks of Himeno and remembers everything.

    In which Aki handles his grief over Himeno's death: by recalling their relationship throughout the years, acknowledging the way it was shaped by their complementary vices. And finally, finally— admitting how he feels about it all.

    Summary

    The worst part about the coffin was not the experience, it was others learning about it.

    ---

    “The coffin.” Hua Cheng whispers. “It was a long time, wasn’t it?”

    Xie Lian opens his mouth, denial on the tip of his tongue.

    He takes in an unsteady breath, ashamed to find his eyes burning with the effort to hold back tears, then blurring with his failure to do so.

    “…It was.”

    Summary

    He’d once tasted a similar pain long ago, but this blade had only grazed him then, and never once desired to leave its mark. It had sulked and begged forgiveness for its transgression, which Xie Lian had freely given. It had, after all, been an accident. Xie Lian hadn’t been its rightful target, and the blade’s killing aura had been tamed just before it struck, leaving him with no lasting effects. That day, there had truly been no harm done.

    This time, however, Eming seemed to have driven itself into him entirely on purpose.

    Gasping for breath amidst a sea of his own blood, Xie Lian struggles to remember what happened to him—and why Hua Cheng isn't there with him.

    Summary

    “Ling Wen. Hey Ling Wennn. I won the bet. Pay up.” Pei Ming's voice came in. “Which bet?” Ling Wen replied.
    “You know, the one where I said the generals of the south would sleep with each other within a decade?”
    There was a pause. “General Ming Guang, this is the general communication array.”
    “…Shit.”

    As they deal with the stress of an unexplained plague in the South, Mu Qing and Feng Xin’s bickering takes a turn for the worse as Feng Xin unintentionally brings up Mu Qing’s mother.
    Mu Qing storms off and ends up in his mother’s tomb, and unwittingly gives himself up to a monster in the disguise of his beloved mother.
    As Mu Qing is on the verge of dying at the hands of the monster, he subconsciously sends a prayer to Feng Xin in his last moments.
    Feelings ensue. Feng Xin probably ascends for a second time.
    Pei Ming is going to lose his job.

He won’t stop until he succeeds, no matter what it costs. But this time, an encounter with Liu Xiao forces to the surface the stress he’s been bearing—hiding.

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

    POST "FINAL"

    “Till, come on, you’ve- you’re so strong, you can’t!” She cried, but it was useless. She knew it was useless. If Sua, her sun and stars, extinguished, then so would he. No one could survive a laser bolt through the spine.

    Mizi has an idea on how to save Till, or well, on how to bring him back. But there are pandoras boxes better left unopened, and anything Luka agrees with is innately soiled. Hyuna is there too, mostly to look at the camera and go, 'are you seeing this shit?'

    Summary

    "Griffith wanted to run, to hide from the potential humiliation of Guts seeing him like this, but he knew his body was capable of next to nothing. Instead, he stared at the rough cobblestone of the floor, almost praying it would be the torturer instead. Flickering light partially illuminated the cell and Griffith felt his heart pounding against his ribcage as though it’d burst through his chest at any moment. The footsteps were now approaching him clear as day."

    like the title implies, this is my own rendition of the events from that chapter but with a focus on griffith's perspective.
