Summary
Dying wasn't easy. Staying dead was even harder.
Six quiet years had passed since Keith fell into the Hudson River and never resurfaced. His life in Miami was far from glamorous, but it was his. He’d rather scrub blood and shit off of the floor every day of his life than go back to Brooklyn.
When a pair of white shoes show up in Joe’s Pocket Pub, right around the time his boss goes radio silent, Keith gets the sense that he’s being watched.

Summary
“So you’re not God,” Hua Cheng clarified once more. He bit into the soft of his own cheek to keep his smirk from crawling away from him.
“Not God,” Fangxin agreed.
Hua Cheng pretended to mull on it for a moment, looking up and away with a speculative hum. “Are you royalty?”
At that, Fangxin's small grin bloomed into a proper smile, and he laughed once in a way that suggested Hua Cheng had struck a personal humor. “Depends on who you ask,” he submitted with a slight shrug, unable to hide the charmed lilt in his response.
That bitten cheek sprung itself free, and Hua Cheng was smiling wide before he could think to stop himself. “Oh?” he prodded, brow quirked in intrigue.
“Shirtless Shawn calls me the Crown Prince,” Fangxin supplied, shaking his head like it couldn't be helped. “I think he does that because I give him coins for the jukebox.”

Hua Cheng stumbles into a 24/7 pub, where an odd – yet remarkably gentle – stranger tends to his wounds.

Summary
As Xie Lian considers taking a new path, he happens upon a very rare, very macabre method of cultivation. This path can only be accessed by those who are well-acquainted with death and dying. As he reads over it, he realizes that it may be more familiar to him than he originally thought.
OR the one where Xie Lian tripped on DMT in a triple layered coffin for nearly a century and accidentally tapped into a path of cultivation he didn’t know existed.

Summary
"Lately, I’ve been thinking about it quite a bit — that feeling of… well, I suppose there’s a serenity about it, a weightlessness, but also such vivid color, such brightness, and I’ve been wondering what it might feel like to… ah, this is the tricky part,” he closed his eyes, fingers curling into the fabric of Hua Cheng’s robes, and he forced himself to stammer out, “I think I might want to… Perhaps I’d like — ah-ha-ha. Oh, this is so silly. I’m curious what it would be like to… to, ah, come… like that.”
Silence.
“Gege, are you asking me to fuck you to death?”
