    Summary

    After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.

    “Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.

    Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”

    “I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”

     

    *:・゚✧*:・゚

    Or: Hua Cheng is cursed and has no memory of his beloved. Xie Lian takes a job in Ghost City to try to get Hua Cheng to fall in love with him again before he dissipates.

    Summary

    Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.

    But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.

    The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.

    Summary

    “What can I do?”

    “You can run.” Nezumi’s smile was bitter. “The only way to protect your family and yourself is to run and hope you’re quicker than the Lab. Or…”

    Shion swallowed as Nezumi left the word hanging in the air. “Or?”

    “Or you could charge into the Lab head on. Try and take them down once and for all. If you do that, then everyone would be safe, and you could finally go back to living your carefree life with your family.”

    “What?” Shion balked. “But…” He glanced back at Karan and Safu. “I can’t. I don’t know how to do that. I can’t even control my power.”

    “I can teach you.”

    AU where Shion has telekinesis and Nezumi has telepathy.
