Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.

Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

Summary
After the night hunt in Biling Lake goes wrong, people start taking notice of Wei Wuxian, how he's more than just the undisciplined Head Disciple of Yunmeng Jiang always causing trouble, more than just the Servant's son everyone gossips about.
What happens when a dream makes the oblivious Wei Wuxian understand his feelings at fifteen.
What happens when the dream him gives insights into things Wei Wuxian has only ever expressed interest in learning once, but was reprimanded for.
What happens when the Lan Sect, known for pursuing knowledge and innovation, learn the Jiang Sect has neglected to nurture the once in a lifetime genius they picked up off the street.
___
A self indulgent fix-it fic where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji figure their shit out earlier and people accept that Wei Wuxian is way smarter than most of the Cultivation World, for better or worse. It changes a lot!Inspired by:

Summary
Hua Cheng has never been one to mingle with his neighbours much — until one day a kind and beautiful man moves into the apartment building and catches his eye immediately. Despite the distance of several floors separating Hua Cheng’s luxury apartment and Xie Lian’s shabby little flat on the lowest floor, Hua Cheng is determined to get to know his new neighbour.
To Hua Cheng’s delight, Xie Lian seems just as eager to befriend him... but his joy is soon shadowed by the dawning realisation that Xie Lian is struggling with far more than just malfunctioning locks and broken thermostats.

“The first stroke, the commitment, is always the most difficult part,” he murmurs, eyes on his paper.
Xie Lian takes it as an invitation and steps into the room. “What about deciding which stroke is the last?”
“My art never quite compares to my subjects, so I don’t worry myself with perfection.” With that, he puts brush to paper and inks his first stroke.

Xie Lian needs a room for the night in a new city and is humbly directed to the one ghost who can fulfill any wish if you're willing to play.

Have you ever read Book 4 and thought, "Wow, this is really fucking sad. Wouldn't it have been great if things had gone just a little differently?" Do you love Wu Ming and wish there had been more of him in the novel? Are you a fan of pining, slow-burn, and hurt/comfort tropes?
If so, then this might just be the fic for you~

Summary
Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.
A vampire. A feral vampire.
Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.
While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

Summary
Ghosts won't stop giving Xie Lian flowers, Hua Cheng won't stop teasing, and Xie Lian is out here doing his best, man.
Xie Lian is momentarily frozen. Outside of heaven, no one calls him Highness except in jest, and there was a time people threw flowers at his feet as if to make a carpet for him to walk upon, but those years are long past. “Thank you. This is a—a princely gift.”
The spirit’s black-pit eyes go wide and then he grins, revealing long, wicked teeth the color of tarnished silver. “Yes! Yes, I knew it was meant for his Highness.” The spirit nods to Hua Cheng, too, whose grin has widened to something almost obscene.
“Truly,” Hua Cheng agrees.

Summary
“Gege rolls so perfectly for this one,” Hua Cheng teased. “Perhaps the cup for his dice should never be found.”
Xie Lian looked away and squeezed his eyes shut, already imagining something completely indecent: himself, sitting on the lap of the famed and feared Hua Chengzhu in this very gambling hall, rolling his dice for every bet he took and presenting them on his tongue like he had been doing. It was a positively shameful image that he couldn’t stop seeing, and that he couldn’t stop blushing at.
~*~
Xie Lian returns home from a long day in heaven and agrees to play a very different kind of gambling game with his husband.

Summary
Hua Cheng gets kidnapped by (sort of) accident. This unexpectedly turns out to be a lucky turn of events, because he gets to witness Xie Lian absolutely wreck the poor bastards who did it, and then he gets to experience Xie Lian absolutely wrecking him.
Features Calamity!XL and Sub!WM in a modern Triad-ish setting, a bit of violence, some humour, and a whole lot of kink.
Hua Cheng dropped to one knee as Xie Lian approached. He bowed his head, hand over his heart. “Dianxia,” he said. “This unworthy one is blessed to have Dianxia personally attend to his rescue.”
A slender finger touched his jaw and trailed almost leisurely down to his chin. Hua Cheng’s skin tingled in its wake. The slightest pressure, and Hua Cheng obediently raised his head to meet Xie Lian’s eyes. That golden gaze swept over his face, an almost physical, burning presence on Hua Cheng’s skin. “No one touches what is mine,” he said, his voice low and dark.
Hua Cheng shivered, his eyes fluttering for a moment, the touch of Xie Lian’s fingers like a brand. He would wear the scars from that touch with pride any day. His cock throbbed in his jeans. “Yours,” he agreed breathlessly.

Summary
“Do you really mean it? You’re not going to bury me alive, stone me, or throw me into the sea?”
Hua Cheng froze, his usually composed face turning pale. His voice dropped to a deadly fury as he asked,
“Who did that to you? Tell me, and I—”
“Hua Cheng,” Xie Lian interrupted softly, his grip tightening slightly around the hand still holding his. He took a shaky breath, his heart pounding with both fear and hope.
“I… I want to go to your city. Will you take me there?”His voice was small, his golden eyes lowered, cheeks faintly pink.
Hua Cheng didn’t answer at first.
He just stared, as if the world had stopped moving.
Then, finally, he smiled—slowly, softly, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.“Of course,” he said.
“It would be my greatest honor.”After his second banishment, Xie Lian was cursed by Bai Wuxiang to survive only by consuming blood.
Overwhelmed by guilt and self-loathing, he is discovered by Hua Cheng, a mysterious ghost king who offers him sanctuary in his city. Despite his shame, Xie Lian accepts the offer, hoping to find a place where he truly belongs.Could this be the home he’s been dreaming for all his life?
