    Summary

    Bai Jian manages to cross the rift and is prepared to go psycho on those who hurt his brother. He didn't expect his enemies to be so kind and so... pretty.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng smirked, “And this is where I come in?”

    “It would only be for an hour or two,” Xie Lian looked up at him, desperation in those pretty eyes. He reached across the table and took Hua Cheng's hands in his own, “I'll pay for your drinks. All you have to do is sit there and pretend to be in love with me.”

    Summary

    Needless to say, that was the centrepiece of the illegal creation.

    "What… the fuck…" Xie Lian gasped, rendered frozen instead of downright dead as he may or may not have been wishing at this moment.

    Remotely, he registered Pei Ming's enthusiastic inquiry but was too dumbstruck to parry with a witty response.

    "So, explain—I'm not very well-versed in all this gay stuff… Did you get dumped or is it him courting you?"

     

    or: They stumble through their lives, both struggling with too many issues to count and endlessly lonely. When they meet, they have no idea how fateful the encounter will be or how much pain and happiness it will bring.

    Summary

    Xie Lian has been bought before.

    Men with money, with power, with careless hands and simple desires.

    He learned quickly how to give them what they wanted, but this one is different. This one doesn’t look at him like something to consume. The eye-patched warlord looks at him like something that was never meant to be here in the first place.

    And that is far more terrifying.

    Summary

    “You’re distracted again.” Hua Cheng’s voice has reached the earthy, sultry depth that makes Xie Lian quiver. “Gege would tell me if anything was on his mind, wouldn’t he?” His eye surveys Xie Lian’s face with an interest offset by arousal.

    The little taste of guilt in his throat holds his words captive for a long moment. “…O-of course, I’m… I’m…” He looks between Hua Cheng’s flushed cheeks, bitten lips, and cocked brow. A defeated little sigh accompanies Xie Lian’s duck into his boyfriend’s shoulder. His shoulders slump and his hands fall to his sides. “If…” he begins miserably, “…if I ever wanted to—to sleep with someone, someone else, someone who wasn’t you… what would you say?”

    Xie Lian gets it on with his roommate while his boyfriend watches.

    Summary

    “Why is gege sitting like that?” San Lang asked softly.

    Xie Lian blinked his eyes open. He'd been falling asleep, his body still so tired from everything it had been through in the depths of the cave.

    “Hm?” How was he sitting? Xie Lian thought about it for a moment, and then he realised. Oh.

    He was sitting with his back against the maple tree, his head tilted slightly backwards and to the side to expose his neck, the insides of his wrists turned upwards, resting on his thighs.

    Xie Lian had trained himself to sit like that in the presence of vampires, so there was less chance of them pulling on and twisting his numb arms or hurting his neck.

    or

    After an accident, banished fairy Xie Lian becomes the unwilling guest of a sect of vampires. When another powerful vampire destroys the sect and takes Xie Lian home to help him recover, Xie Lian is faced with the challenge of convincing his saviour that he really really wouldn't mind if he were to drink some of his blood.

    Summary

    Deliriously, He Xuan thought that if he could just get close enough, if he could press their lips together, he could steal the air in Mu Qing’s lungs, swallow it down into his own so that they’d both survive. But Mu Qing pressed a hand between them, palm against He Xuan’s mouth, and kissed the back of it before pulling away.

    Summary

    When they broke apart, they were both panting. Xie Lian looked Hua Cheng deep in the eye, and let the words escape his mouth. "Ask me again."

    Confusion was coloring Hua Cheng’s handsome face, and Xie Lian quickly clarified. "San Lang said he will not joke about it again. Ask me now.”

    Hua Cheng’s single eye became wide. There was a moment of silence. Followed by a low chuckle. Then, Hua Cheng posed the question Xie Lian wanted to hear. "Gege, want to get married?"

    Hualian reunite and rebuild Huangji Temple together, where they get married and eventually spend their wedding night—and the beginning of their eternal life—together.

    A fic about what might have happened between the “reunion under the lanterns” and “Xie Lian finding out the meaning behind Hua Cheng's tattoo” scenes.

    Summary

    As a flower god, Xie Lian has always enjoyed the calm solitude of nature, even if it means his fellow deities view him as a strange loner. During one of his leisurely walks on a chilly spring day, he encounters a small red flower that immediately catches his attention. After taking the flower to his home shrine on a moment's whim, Xie Lian's fondness for it starts growing deeper — and eventually, his affections are returned as he finds out those beautiful red petals are inhabited by the soul of a flower spirit...

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is passion and loyalty personified when he speaks, his voice a raw whisper. “Let me love you. Let me show you. I promise you, I’ll never leave you. I’ll never hurt you. I’ll forever be devoted to you, and only you.”

    Xie Lian used to think he had experienced every emotion there was to experience in this world, but he was wrong. Being loved by Hua Cheng is like being a butterfly, delicate and precious, held in the cusp of his hands with all the gentleness in the world, being kept safe from the raging winds and the way people could be cruel. And suddenly, everything he’s ever done makes sense to him, it means something now, all because Hua Cheng sees him. He knows him.

    One person is enough.

    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar.

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.

    Summary

    “You are a unique case,” Lan Wangji said. “I am not sure I will be able to help you. Even the methods of investigation will need to be experimental.”

    “Does that mean you won’t help?” Jiang Yanli asked.

    “No,” Lan Wangji answered slowly. He looked at Wei Wuxian. “But you must understand that the process would not always be... comfortable. And that, despite the possible discomfort, there are no guarantees that anything I learn will lead to a solution.”

    ___

    Wei Wuxian goes to renowned scholar Lan Wangji for help with his core injury. In a twist that neither of them were expecting, it turns out that the solution to all his problems is a whole lot of magical, kinky sex.

    Like... a whole lot. But it's all for very important Reasons, they swear!

    Summary

    When so much between two people goes unspoken, what's another layer?

    If anyone should be embarrassed about anything, it should be Hua Cheng; to be so thoroughly unmasked as someone who is full of soft, intimate feelings about just about everything Xie Lian does. It is very, very cute.
