Summary
After Hua Cheng is called in to do a rather simple task at a rather decrepit home, he finds himself replacing more than just the carpet in Xie Lian’s home—for example: the stove, the cabinets, the walls, the roof, and his heart (in Xie Lian’s hands).

Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.
-
In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

Summary
Xie Lian has been giving people tattoos and piercings for five years now, but he's never seen someone look as breathtaking as this client who tells him to call him "San Lang". He's also never seen someone react so beautifully to the pain of it.

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
After Xie Lian’s disastrous 2nd ascension, ruinous bastard Jun Wu locks him in the Palace of Divine Might. Rumours spread about what Jun Wu does to the Flower Crowned Martial God—rumours spread that Jun Wu is actually Bai Wuxiang.
Banished once more, with six cursed shackles, Xie Lian abruptly changes his cultivation path so nothing more can be taken from him. He hides. He evades. He becomes a shadow. Jun Wu spends 800 years searching, searching, searching, but Xie Lian has vanished without a trace.
Now, a group of Heavenly Officials turns to the Crimson Rain Sought Flower for aid in destroying the prince's cursed shackles. But how can Xie Lian concentrate on defeating Jun Wu with the gaze of the beautiful Ghost King carefully pinning him down?
_______
Or: Xie Lian has six cursed shackles, and a small team of heavenly officials enlist Hua Cheng to save him from obsessed Jun Wu, as one-by-one Xie Lian's deepest traumas are unearthed.

Summary
It has been millennia since Xie Lian’s second banishment.
Millennia since Hua Cheng—the scourge of Heaven, the Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the Supreme Ghost King—slaughtered 33 gods and turned his demonic gaze on the banished Flower Crowned Martial God.
Xie Lian has eluded the Ghost King at every turn. For centuries. Hiding is all he knows. He’s gotten very good at hiding.

Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

Summary
The pessimist on her shoulder is once again urging her to run. Take Yaz’s hand, and leave the Master to his handpicked fate.
But she can’t.
So she doesn’t.
-
The Master captures the Doctor and Yaz under the guise of malice, or revenge - or perhaps something else.

Summary
"The Doctor wilts under the realisation that she’d caused this; she’d avoided them for long enough for frustration to build and build like a dredged up water pipe, ready to burst. The bolts are loosening and water has started seeping through the wallpaper."
"She thinks kings could kneel for a gaze like that. All sorrow and sympathy, a readiness to fix the unfixable. Her hearts break so much that it seeps into her stare, shards like the gold in the green. Catching her eye keeps Yaz fixed in it – she is suspended there, counting every golden crack in the quiet that passes. Unable to do anything but acknowledge it, confront the sheer power of her sadness."

Summary
It’s never usually like this.
The Doctor would class a three day trip as a long adventure. They have been Saskia and Julie William-Singh for two months.
So, no, it’s never usually like this.
In a sleepy coastal town on the shores of southern England, Yaz and the Doctor slip into the lives of two missing women they're trying to follow. Yaz finds she likes it more than she should.

Summary
A tear shines on Yaz’s cheek, deep blue in the shadowed light of the room. The Doctor shoves her hands in her pockets and turns away, pretending that she did not see it, but it waters the sorrowful vines that have already wound tightly around her twin hearts. They grow a bit larger, pull a bit tighter, and for a second, she forgets how to breathe. The world spins and she catches herself on the console, wrapping shaking fingers around its edge.
A hard swallow contracts her throat. “Don’t make this harder than it has to be.”

Summary
It begins as a low hum, something like background noise, something that might have always been there – so stop worrying about it. But it tugs at her with every pulse, every drawn, minute oscillation drawing its grip tighter. A calling. Come home. Soon it’s an insect against her ear. Shrill, sharp buzzing. Phantom breaths upon her neck, a thousand eyes burning holes into her back. Hands reaching across the universe.
The Doctor has some unfinished business on Gallifrey. She has a purpose, and the Time Lords intend for her to fulfil it.

Summary
Koschei's name was drawn the year before hers, and he slaughtered almost half the tribute field personally, claiming the first victory for their District and becoming an overnight sensation. Media darling Caesar Flickerman had dubbed him The Master, a title that stuck, and he plays his part well, but as soon as the cameras are off, darkness always comes floating back towards the surface. He mentored Theta while his own pain was still fresh, and dismissed her as a lost cause as soon as the second name was drawn. The other tribute for District 3 that year was Koschei's friend, classmate, and neighbor, and Koschei all but told her that he would throw her to the wolves and focus the entirety of his attention on supporting her male counterpart.
That favoritism did not matter in the end. His friend died first, and Theta won the shortest games on record. Thirty-six hours, one meticulously engineered mass slaughter, and it was over.
Fifteen years have passed since then, and he still has not forgiven her.
