    Summary

    Here is a good man, on his knees in your brother’s second bathroom, desperate to suck you off. He knows where you’ve been and what you are. He has seen you naked and has seen you flayed. And yet. 

    “Nie Mingjue,” you say, just to speak his name into the space between you, to recognize his presence there.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao knows that something is wrong the second he opens his eyes and sees not the gilded canopy of his bed in Jinlintai, but the pines of Qinghe, dark and green against a cold grey sky.
    Nie colours. He remembers what they looked like against his skin, even though he wishes he didn’t. Like it was only yesterday that he was there, wearing different robes and a different name. Only yesterday, instead of a lifetime ago.

     

     

    Jin Guangyao wakes up in Qinghe, face to face with the last person he wanted to see. Himself.

    Summary

    Decay is an extant form of life.

     

    There are no names for what’s happening inside Nie Mingjue’s body, the way it changes, the way his biology expands and contracts, becomes an ecology, a decomposition, an unmaking. Roots grow. Pathways form. Nie Mingjue’s body unbecomes. 
    Here is the mycelium, growing, feeding, spreading.

    Summary

    Meng Yao’s posture is perfect as he turns his back to Nie Mingjue. He strides out of the hall with easy, steady steps. You could balance a tea service tray on his head, and the full cups would not spill a drop. He’s holding his head high, his hands tight against his body, not quite fists but something close.
    When he stumbles, his hand twitches, as if he wants to reach out and balance himself, to lean against the wall and breathe, to clutch at his robes, press a fist against his wound. Instead, he recovers, the twitch having lasted for barely a second. It would have been invisible to anyone not paying close attention.
    Nie Mingjue sees it.

     

    Some sappy self-indulgent NieYao because it's been a rough everything.

    A little snapshot into take me; take this!verse Wen Qing's mind and her relationship with Wei Wuxian. Set.......somewhere in there. No real spoilers for any of the series.

    Summary

    Huaisang’s eyes narrow as he catches something like disappointment skimming across Xue Yang’s face.

    “You’re not going to make him hurt you like that,” he says. Xue Yang’s look of surprise is its own reward. “If it was that easy, we’d be fending off brats like you with a stick. The queue would be around the block.”

    “I’m very persistent,” Xue Yang says.

    Summary

    The sad, unfortunate truth of the matter, the one that sometimes keeps Lan Qiren awake deep into the night, is that none of this would have happened if he hadn’t pushed Lan Jingyi into being a hard-working and dedicated student.

    Or, Jingyi makes questionable decisions but all's well that ends well and doesn't catch fire.

    Summary

    In the land of Ingary, where magic is just another useful skill in the job hunting department, and warlocks, witches and enchanters are selling their services around every corner, a man of great magical skills can easily find himself in the middle of problematic situations.

    Or maybe that was just Stiles.
