Summary
In spring, I planted a little seed, sprout quickly, please, grow up quickly.
--
Time changes things. Liyue, as in the city itself, changed very little. A new building here, a new shop there. A new cook that took over a food stall they liked and now the flavour was not quite the same. And yet, as much as those small things morphed and transformed and adapted, the city as a whole didn't seem any different for it.
Yet everything in the city felt different, because the people were different.
Now, nearly a decade later, he barely reaches Chongyun’s shoulders with the top of his head, and even then it’s with his heeled shoes. The years had been kind to his best friend. Tall and muscular, Chongyun’s handsome and cold aura was well matched to his position as the lead disciple of his exorcist clan. His eyes, previously filled with boyish shyness, were now calm and confident, steady when he decided to make direct eye contact. It all made girls weak at the knees sometimes, and Xingqiu sympathizes with them, because Archons, he gets it.

Or Xingqiu and Chongyun nurture the budding seedling of love that has been growing between them and we follow along for the courting process.

Summary
The reality of adulthood is looming just beyond the horizon for Xingqiu, and with his personal aspirations and passions having not matched his father’s traditional ways for his entire life, he’s beginning to question if his life has any meaning. But he has bigger things to worry about, for the whirlwind of emotions he has surrounding his childhood best friend, Chongyun, are beginning to make Xingqiu question if the label ‘friends’ is all they are to each other. For the sake of their future together, and for his own fragile heart, Xingqiu conjures up a plan to rid himself once and for all of the aching adoration he feels for the boy that has begged to bloom from his chest for years; the threat of rejection not far behind.

My Second Verse: On Loneliness and What It May Mean to Love Eternally by Anonymous

Summary
Xingqiu receives his invitation from Yae Publishing House to write a second novel and immediately recruits Chongyun to be his muse. After a series of fateful encounters, Xingqiu is finally inspired to write about the nature of love, pain, and loneliness; three feelings Chongyun knows all too well. Perhaps in observing the natural positivity of his muse's true heart, Xingqiu may learn what these things truly mean and extol the goodness of that warmly blessed soul to the world… he just needs to get that frozen ardor to open up first.
“I pray that my words shall vanquish whatever evils may plague my reader's inquisitive souls. Even – ”
“Even loneliness.”
A xingyun/chongqiu slow-burn epic on loneliness and its cure.
Expect extremely slow burn, confused pining, lots of emotional hurt/comfort, and shoujo-level relationship drama. This ship sails slow but we chart a steady course. [PART 1 COMPLETE] ( Updates paused indefinitely )

Summary
From Chapter 10
'The stranger was oddly…Radiant.
He wore round glasses over brown eyes that squinted slightly every time he laughed or smiled. He had slightly choppy bangs that covered most of his forehead. He had little tufts of hair that stuck out on either side of his head. He had a habit of tucking his hair behind his right ear, but it always fell loose. His eyes sort of looked like he knew something he wasn’t telling you. And Chongyun kept feeling like he’d met him somewhere before.'
From Chapter 42
'Finally, Zhenyu raised his eyes, a mischievous golden glint. “Oh, do you trust me that much, Detective? How would you be so sure I wasn’t planning to just get rid of you and subsequently get rid of all my obstacles? Maybe you’ve forgotten, Detective, but legally, I am a criminal.”“...” That was true. Maybe Chongyun had forgotten it. But still– “That doesn’t change the fact that you’re you.”
Zhenyu seemed to pout slightly, but in the paltry lighting, it was a little difficult to tell if it was actually a pout or a frown. “That’s one of the stupidest reasons I’ve ever heard.” '

With Clouds, Comes Rain by 0bibibi for mikanchii

Summary
"Xingqiu. If I told you, that I didn't just see you as a friend, but more than that... That I felt differently... How would you react?"
Chongyun's feelings toward Xingqiu have changed... but feelings can't always be reciprocated.
Love, friendship, relationships, they always seem so simple in books and legends.Wanting to keep a relationship the way it is, not risking to lose it, there's nothing wrong with that, however, change is bound to happen, sooner or later.
With clouds comes rain, storms... and sometimes, tragedies.
Will the sky clear for both of them?
