Summary
He hadn't expected to find the kid in a bar. True, he couldn't quite picture Nero living the good life in suburbia, but busting into Devil May Cry bleeding and needing help - or cocky and wanting a job - had seemed more likely. But here it turned out it was Dante needing him, and he was holed up in the darkest corner of one of the seedier bars Dante had been in. Life will never be as you expect it.

Summary
This is the sort of thing I particularly like to write in fanfiction - short, in-canon explorations of a character's thoughts or motivations at a particular time. Right now they are in reverse chronological order (AC, game, Crisis Core), but that will probably only hold until I find another line I want to write a few hundred words about.

Found in the Sharpness of Contrasts by nickel710 for huxiyi

Summary
(Despite the tags, this fic's genre is not really primarily horror. If you're on the fence because horror isn't really your thing, give it a shot!)
"But when it is said that technology hates Lan Wangji, what is meant is technology sometimes ceases to work around him, often in dramatic fashion.
This is a problem on an Antarctic research base where not only the research is facilitated by all sorts of impressive technological feats, but also the survival of the people inhabiting that base."
Or, in which two resident scientist-mages in an Antarctic research base make their own problems, then try to solve them, but must first survive them.

Covered in Bees by ScarlettStorm

Summary
“Cloud Reccesses Apiary,” says a toneless, deep masculine voice, with zero question in it. Wei Ying doesn’t care, because whoever possesses that voice is probably going to come save him from bees like a fucking hero while wearing like, a suit of armor. That’s what you wear to catch bees, right?
“I have like, so many bees outside my front door right now,” he says, mouth running out ahead of him before he can even begin to think about reining it in. “It’s like a sandstorm of bees out there. There are so many bees. I got out of my car and there were just bees and I don’t want these bees. Do you want these bees? Please tell me you will come get these bees. I can’t leave my house and I have enough food for maybe a week but then I’m gonna have to learn how to cook dry beans and no one wants that, especially not me.” Wei Ying runs out of air, takes a breath, and belatedly adds, “My name is Wei Ying. Hi.”
Or: The beekeeping AU that no one asked for.

Summary
Through the window, boats drift in a mirror of the yawning sky, fringed with wide lotus leaves and the pale yellow blossoms that grow year-round. Geese call in the distance. And there again, drifting through the air—the scent of sesame shaobing, and hot dry noodles, and the sizzle-pop of frying oil. Like the heat-haze of summer, softened with time. Like the taste of home.
Or, four meals Wei Wuxian shares during his travels, and one he shares with his soulmate.
