    Summary

    The thought had been niggling at the back of his mind quite a bit lately. He wasn’t showing Shang Qinghua proper obeisance, was he? They’d grown so comfortable in their roles - Mobei-Jun as Shang Qinghua’s king, and Shang Qinghua as his dutiful servant - that they hadn’t thought to… stop. It was how it had always been. But things were different, now, weren’t they? They’d been different for a long time now. To ignore that wasn’t proper.

    That stops now, Mobei-Jun decides. His ancestors would be rolling in their graves to see him ignore the proper rites of courtship - the fact that he and Shang Qinghua were already mated besides. He was not raised to be some kind of country rube, as much as being sequestered so far up north might imply otherwise. Shang Qinghua was his partner, and, with all factors properly calculated, the more powerful of the two. It was only proper that Mobei-Jun display an appropriate level of submission to his better.

    --

    Mobei-Jun realizes with increasing clarity that he wants to serve Shang Qinghua. Shang Qinghua does NOT pick up on it.

    Summary

    Xie Lian isn’t particularly worried about the progress of his relationship with Hua Cheng. After all, Hua Cheng seems to be fine with just kissing and hugging for now; wouldn't it be weird to ask for something else? Maybe one day they’d do more, when Xie Lian is ready. He wants to be ready.

    Then, Xie Lian has a nightmare.

    Summary

    When the thick black fog of the curse clears, there’s a child standing in front of Xie Lian. He’s small—he’s so, so small—and as soon as he sees Xie Lian, he wraps his arms around himself and hunches his shoulders like he’s trying to make himself even smaller. There is not a single spark of recognition in that wide, wild eye.

    “...San Lang?!”

    When a curse turns Hua Cheng into a child again, it's up to Xie Lian to take care of him. It's a task easier said than done, when Hua Cheng's memories have regressed along with the rest of him.

    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.

    Luo Binghe has it all: the respect of the cultivation world, the home he always wanted, and Shizun's love. There's just one problem: if Shizun ever finds out he's a demon, it's going to ruin everything.

    Summary

    There is a lot that Shen Qingqiu is willing to do so long as it is in his own best interest.

    Throwing a child off of a cliff and into the PIDW version of hell is something he has never had to do before. It is also something that, as Shen Qingqiu comes to terms with, he doesn’t want to do.

    Not if he can afford it.

    (Shen Qingqiu gives up his voice in exchange for Luo Binghe to not fall down the Abyss. As is the case with many things in Shen Qingqiu's life, things do not go as planned.)

    Summary

    In which the SYSTEM provided Shen Qingqiu a way to distract Luo Binghe during their reunion in the Jinlan City Arc:

     

    And then he felt it, a hot and stinging sensation in his eyes.

     

    Something warm and wet trailed down his cheek. His vision blurred and he hurriedly tried blinking it away.

     

    Shen Qingqiu quickly wiped his face before anyone could see. He stared at the wet trail in his hand in horror and betrayal. What the fuck, SYSTEM?!

     

    Too late, Luo Binghe already saw it, judging by the sharp intake of breath and everyone going silent around him.

    Summary

    Hongjoong whistled low. “A tall order, sire.” He cocked his head to the side with a snarky smile on his lips. “And it comes at a steep price.”

    Seonghwa’s father gripped the armrests of his throne. “Name it.”

    Hongjoong paused to rake his eyes over Seonghwa. “You will give me your son in marriage.”

    ...

    Pirate Captain Hongjoong is more powerful than the King. He knows it. The King knows it. Everyone knows it. So when the King begs him for an alliance, Hongjoong can name his price. No one expects him to demand the crown Prince’s hand in marriage, least of all Prince Seonghwa. But can Seonghwa survive on the savage seas? And will this loveless marriage harden his heart like the pirate he’s been tied to?

    Summary

    "The once great Peak Lord Shen Qingqiu, reduced to uncontrollable shivers."

    Or what if Gongyi Xiao never came to rescue Shen Qingqiu from the Water Prison? What if Shen Qingqiu had stayed there for a couple of weeks instead? And, of course, the Huan Hua Palace track record when it comes to prisoners is pretty bad.

    Basically just an excuse to write some hurt Shen Qingqiu.

    Summary

    dignus es: Latin, "you are worthy".

     

    Luo Binghe wonders what he's done, to deserve such unadulterated attention, today. Like before, he doesn't voice his query, however. He simply rests, and soaks it up, like their uninterrupted time together is a finite resource (and, due to their positions and their roles, it is). It's moments like these that he thinks of, before a battle, during meetings, while he's attempting to rest away from his Shizun on those nights that duty forces one or both of them to be elsewhere, without each other. Moments like these are the ones that he stores in his memory so that when he dreams, his subconscious can spin silk made of pleasantries instead of fabricating broken and jagged pieces of glass that scream terror and loneliness, intent on making him bleed until there's nothing left.

     

    Luo Binghe gets to spend the whole day with his beloved Shizun, and Shen Qingqiu makes him feel perfectly spoiled.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe loves him so much that he can’t help but be greedy with his affections, always begging for more and more, lapping up Shizun’s modest words of praise and gentle touches of love, basking in joy so golden and warm that his heart hurts trying to hold it all. He does try to contain himself, understands how overwhelming he can be, how possessive and needy he can be, but today? Today of all days when his precious Shizun offers to give him anything?

    There is so much he wants.

     

    ---

    It's Luo Binghe’s birthday and Shen Qingqiu has agreed to spend all day with him fulfilling whatever desires he can think of.

    Summary

    The grudging approval was on the tip of his tongue — do whatever you want, he wanted to say. But some instinct, honed too fine and too deep over his youth in the Ghost Valley, stopped him. Mo Huaiyang was a cunning old fox, he had said so himself. He had thought that it would be a trait that would keep Qingfeng Sect out of the chaos, and hence keep A-Xiang safe. But what if the cunning had been turned on him, and on Ghost Valley? Hadn’t Mo Huaiyang wanted the spot of the supreme leader, and had called Kexing out in front of everyone before Ye Baiyi stopped him?

    Maybe he was being paranoid. But he had survived because he had been paranoid and counting on others’ worst intentions all his life. He shouldn’t stop now, not when everything was going so well for the first time.

    *

    Or, Wen Kexing refused to open the gates to the wedding guests from Qingfeng Sect. It changed everything.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

    “I think so,” Sizhui says.

    “To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

    “Yes,” Sizhui says.

    “So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

    Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

    Summary

    “Meng Yao is back,” he says. He tries to school his face into a normal, neutral expression, but whatever Lan Huan sees must be pitiful, by the way his eyes sadden. Or maybe the sadness has nothing to do with Jiang Cheng. Maybe it was the reminder of the heartbreak Lan Huan had suffered at being abandoned by Meng Yao.

    “He is. He returned to Hainan for a few years, at his father’s request. He… is now here, for the time being.”

    “I see.” Jiang Cheng looks away. He can’t look at the pity in Lan Huan’s eyes, or the longing, the yearning. He certainly can’t look at the door to Lan Huan’s apartment, knowing that he is in there, the one great love of Lan Huan’s life.

    --

    Meng Yao shows up after breaking Lan Huan's heart and disappearing for 3 years. Jiang Cheng assumes this is the end of his relationship with Lan Huan.

    “We’re going home,” Zhou Zishu huffs when he pulls Wen Kexing’s arms over his shoulders, then hitches his legs around his waist. He hops in place to get a good grip under the bends of his knees, then makes sure his robe is covering as much of Wen Kexing as it can. “If you die before we get there, the first thing Shixiong will do when we see each other on Naihe Bridge is hit you.”
