    Summary

    “I heard you’re a big fan of seizing the day.”

    Jaehyun said it like he wasn’t internally combusting. His tone was casual, or at least trying to be—somewhere between confident and terrified.

    Sungho looked up from his phone, brow lifting slightly in amusement. For a brief second, Jaehyun thought he might’ve made a complete fool of himself. But then Sungho smiled—slow, warm, a little amused. The kind of smile that said yeah, I remember you, and you’re still kind of ridiculous.

    “Yeah,” Sungho replied, slipping his phone into his pocket. “Maybe I am. Still trying to, anyway.”

    Jaehyun laughed awkwardly. “Right. Carpe diem and all that.”

    or

    Jaehyun was supposed to hangout with Taesan in the moon river bar because Taesan had an earlier shift, but he saw his highschool crush.

    Summary

    The grief of it sometimes eats him alive.

    Wei Wuxian would never admit it to anyone but Wen Qing— which is just as well, since she was the one who carved out his Golden Core with steady hands and placed it where it would do the most good. For his brother to gain a life, in exchange for his own.

    And yet, he is alive, and the mourning lingers.

    Perhaps that’s why, after months of research and half-baked theories, Wei Wuxian finds it quite convenient that the most viable way to rebuild his Golden Core comes down to this:

    “Oh, heavens,” Wen Qing mutters, pressing her fingers to her temples. "We need a man.”

    Or

    To the Esteemed Sects of the Cultivation World,

    The Yunmeng Jiang Sect, on behalf of our beloved brother Wei Wuxian, issues a most sincere request: a suitable husband, possessing an impeccable Golden Core, abundant Yang energy, and exceptional cultivation prowess, as to aid in his restoration to the righteous path of the sword.

    Lotus Pier will open its gates on the first day of Mèngchūn to welcome any honorable Young Master willing to answer this call. Your presence would be met with the utmost gratitude.

    With warm regards,

    Yunmeng Jiang Sect.

    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.
