    Summary

    Near the end of her pregnancy Concubine Gyokuyou is attacked in the middle of the night. Maomao steps in to defend her and while fighting for her life ends up taking the life of the attacker while sustaining serious injuries.

    While Jinshi steps in to care for her physically, Maomao deals with the mental turmoil of taking a life.

    With Maomao vulnerable and Jinshi doing his best to be patient with her, something begins to bloom between them.

    --

    Complete self-indulgent slow-burn/fluff because I'm sad we didn't get it when Maomao saved Jinshi.

    Summary

    “I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.

    “Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.

    She freezes.

    It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.

    She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

    //

    Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

    Summary

    “This must be a mistake. I had requested a single.”

    Wriothesley shrugs. “There’s two rooms. Technically, your room is a single.”

    “I - suppose that is true? But the intent was that I would not have a roommate. That is, not to say, I presume you are a troublesome fellow. Just…”

    Wriothesley almost snorts a laugh. Fellow? Ah, that’s a new one. “I’m actually the repair guy,” he says, gesturing to the television.

    “Are you? Oh thank archons, that’s a relief. I really thought—”

    “I’m kidding.”

    Modern AU in which Neuvillette is a law student, Wriothesley is on scholarship for boxing, and the universe keeps pushing them together. They say opposites attract, right? But are they really so different?

    Summary

    Alhaitham liked to think of inviting Kaveh to live in his home as a sort of 'experiment', but in the end he got way more than the roommate he bargained for.

    Literally their whole relationship from enemies, to roommates, to lovers, and maybe even more...? The title was a joke at first but its not anymore oops

    Then again, some would call it courage. Not many, but some. Perhaps those who have suffered loss as he has.
