    Summary

    “We’re rich?” Tetia exclaimed. She had been sitting with this information for approximately thirty seconds, which was about her limit. “We’ve been rich?” She pushed back from the table. “Master Olly.” She pointed at him, scandalized. “Last month, when I asked if I could have that embroidered skirt from the market in Kalhn, you said—”

    “I said you didn’t need any new clothes. Which is true.”

    “You said we had a budget.”

    “We do have a budget. A budget is just—” But he had already lost control of the conversation.

    Olruggio never made a big deal about the money his specialized commissions got him. They got what they needed, and some extra at that. To the others, however, it is quite a revelation.

    Summary

    Books featuring erotic stories of Shang Qinghua and Mobei Jun start circulating through the demon world. With Shang Qinghua’s honor and reputation on the line, Mobei Jun sets out to find and stop the author while also doing his best to keep any of the books from working their way into Shang Qinghua’s possession. The poor, pure man gets flushed and nervous whenever sex is mentioned--what would reading such explicit scenes do to his innocent mind? He might have qi deviation, or worse, start avoiding Mobei Jun.

    TL; DR: Shang Qinghua writes erotic friendfiction, Mobei Jun finds out.

    “So what’s the issue then?” Xie Lian asks.

    Feng Xin takes a deep breath in, lets it out, and then breathes in again. “What I’m trying to say is, I think I’m homophobic.”

     

    Or, Mu Qing starts going out on dates, and Feng Xin starts slowly losing his mind.

    Summary

    It was impossible for anyone to remember every little quirk of this setting. There were too many. Also, Shang Qinghua had come up with some of them on a whim while fueled by nothing but caffeine and noodles.

    It wasn't his fault for not remembering why oranges were never served on fruit festival day.

    "Have you heard? Lord Water Master refuses to speak to General Ming Guang after the incident with the Wei River dam."

    "Well, are you surprised? He asks him to rendezvous in the middle of his busy schedule, and then pulls his usual nonsense. He's earned his ire, as far as anyone’s concerned. What audacity!"

    "Hah. That's right! I’d like to see Old Pei get out of this one.”

    Summary

    One day, after five years of reasonably peaceful marriage with only a few kidnappings and sex pollen incidents, Shen Yuan is sent back to his old body without warning. Luo Binghe makes a deal with an alien entity calling itself the System to perform a mission in exchange for the ability to bring his husband home.

    The mission is simple; [Uncover secret transmigrator plotline and flesh out the character wiki!]

    Summary

    What he has is this: Kojiro’s undivided attention in the small hours just after his restaurant closes, his idiotic presence at his back when they skate, the comfort and agony of his gentle, thoughtless touches.

    It would be unimaginably mortifying to be mooning over Nanjo Kojiro, so Kaoru refuses to.

    It’s that age old cliche. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Or maybe its older, bitter sibling - you never know what you have until it’s gone.

    Summary

    “Why the hell did you do that?”

    Kojiro sighs. “Not even a hello?”

    “Answer my question.”

    “Fine.” He drops a plate in the sink and rests his elbows on the bar. “People kept asking if we were dating, and I was thinking about it, and I guess…it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, okay?”

    “How do you just kiss someone on a spur-of-the-moment instinct?” Kaoru asks incredulously.

    Nanjo Kojiro is the cause of most (if not all) problems in Kaoru's life. Dating is one of them.

    Summary

    When Kojiro requests to come over to his place that night for a bit of joint stress relief, Kaoru happily accepts because he needs the release after the stressful day he's had. Tragically, however, he forgets that he's forgotten to put away a very obvious toy of his--a toy that Kojiro discovers as soon as he heads into Kaoru's bedroom. Kojiro decides he'd enjoy nothing more than letting Kaoru show him how it works.

    Summary

    These nights that they fall together, Kaoru can pretend that yes, yes, he’s the one that Kojiro wants to touch, Kaoru with his stubborn, smart mouth and sharp elbows and poison tongue. That he’s not just the one who happens to be here, but the one that Kojiro wants.

    “Take me to bed, baby,” Kaoru whispers. “Take care of me.”

    “No, I mean all the other times.” Kaoru looks up at him, the gleam in his eyes intense. “Always. Not just with me but the kids too. You always have something ready. Why?”

    “I like cooking. I think I’m pretty good with words, but sometimes a dish made with care says more than words ever could.”

    Food is Kojiro's love language, and over ten years of their life, he has a lot to say to Kaoru.

    Summary

    Kojiro promised forever; Kaoru wonders if it’s like how asymptotes stretch for infinity, yet there’s a line they can never cross.

    There are the things he knows about Kojiro, and then there are the things that he doesn’t. What he knows is immeasurable and countless, in a way that it blends together with what he doesn’t — yes, Kojiro is kind, but what if that kindness has a limit they’ve yet to reach? Kojiro is the one who’s never left, but what if that changes?

    Worse, Kaoru himself has already changed, and it feels dangerous.
