    Summary

    Something happens to shapeshifting magic. Xie Lian is trans. Problems ensue.

    ———

    “Shapeshifting doesn’t work anymore,” Xie Lian says. “I’m stuck like this.”

    “Not a bad form to be stuck in,” Shi Qingxuan says, looking him over.

    Xie Lian crosses his arms protectively over his chest. This makes things worse. He uncrosses them. “It is for me,” he says.

    Summary

    On good days, of which there are few, Kaeya takes a sip from his flask of Death After Noon, and it’s enough to tide him over long enough that actual food is a suitable replacement for what his body is truly craving.

    On the worse days, of which there are many, he has to work hard to convince himself that children are too small to make a satisfying meal.

    Summary

    Xie Lian is looking for work and he isn’t picky about what kind.
    Hua Cheng is looking for someone to cuddle him every night and he is picky about who that is.

    Summary

    “Gege… doesn’t have any experience with love bites?”
    Shaking his head, Xie Lian carefully pulled off a piece from a baked bun, glancing up at Hua Cheng as he tucked it between his lips.
    Hua Cheng’s gaze fell to his mouth.
    “I do not”, Xie Lian mulled, chewing thoughtfully on the pastry.
    The inhale Hua Cheng took in response was deep, yet silent.
    “…Does San Lang?”

    Xie Lian doesn't know how to give someone a hickey. Hua Cheng is kind enough to teach him.

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have been best friends since childhood, the one person Xie Lian could always depend on. After high school, Hua Cheng leaves, asking Xie Lian to come with him. Xie Lian declines, scared of holding him back. Hua Cheng visits, and Xie Lian is always happy to have him sleep on his couch, and sad to see him go. His feelings, a crush which has grown into unrequited love, stay hidden.

    Until Hua Cheng comes back to handle his father’s death, and everything changes.
    ______________________

    “Hua Cheng, here to see my father,” Hua Cheng said as they stepped up to the counter. Xie Lian stood close, their fingers brushing.
    “Oh,” the mortician said, nodding as he looked over at some papers. When he looked back up, his gaze landed on Xie Lian. “And he is?”
    “I’m Xie Lian,” he answered with a polite smile. The mortician frowned, looking over at Hua Cheng.
    “Only immediate family can come into the back with the deceased,” he said sharply. Hua Cheng’s brows rose, and then his left hand grabbed Xie Lian’s, their fingers tangling together.
    “He’s my husband,” Hua Cheng said, and Xie Lian felt like his knees might give out.

    Summary

    “Xie Lian?”

    Xie Lian’s heart stutters in his chest as his eyes go wide. He knows he shouldn’t be hearing that voice. And yet, there’s no mistaking it.

    Slowly, he lifts his gaze from the glass counter in front of him and stares in the direction whence the sound of the voice came. Standing at the entrance to the jewellery store is someone Xie Lian never expected to see again, no matter how often and how ardently he hoped that he would.

    “San Lang,” Xie Lian says.

    Or; Xie Lian and Hua Cheng break up. A year later, they meet again.

    Summary

    It’s chilly enough outside the bar that Mu Qing regrets not wearing a jacket; he folds his arms in front of his chest as he stands close to Feng Xin, leaning over his phone’s screen as he pulls up the ride sharing app. He’s close enough to see the fine stitching on the lapel of Feng Xin’s jacket, and close enough to catch the faint trace of a floral cologne clinging to him.

    Feng Xin hesitates with the app open rather than typing a destination address.

    “If you want,” he says after a second, “you could come back to my place.”

    -

    Mu Qing is starting a new job, and takes his mind off the stress via a one night stand with a handsome man he meets at a bar. He doesn't expect to meet him again at work the next day.

    Summary

    Immediately after his return, Hua Cheng realizes that he can feel whenever Xie Lian touches his ring. It doesn't bother him. In fact, he finds it endearing.

    But he ignores it, because something else is worrying him: why is Xie Lian acting so guilty?

    Summary

    Feng Xin would like to think that he has become accustomed to the variety of strange (and often unfortunate) events that surround Xie Lian. He has become accustomed to the flights of fancy, and the trash collecting, and the occasional ill-fated culinary quest. He has even, as of late, become accustomed to His Highness’ cripplingly poor choice in spouse.

    Despite all of Feng Xin’s practice in these unfortunates, however, he is not prepared for this.

    “Who are you?” Xie Lian stares up at him from a puddle of oversized white robes, his eyes wide. He is several sizes too small, and several shades too oblivious. “And, um. Where are we?”

    Beside him, Mu Qing sighs very very very deeply and pinches the bridge of his nose.

    When a curse turns Xie Lian into a child again, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Hua Cheng have to work together to keep him safe. Needless to say, this is a trying task for all of them.

    Summary

    “What does gege want?”

    “I want—”

    Xie Lian has to force his thoughts to stop their panicked skipping. What does he want? He wants the dusty solitude of his room. He wants to dunk his head in the wash water. He wants Ruoye tight around his ribs and the leaves of his tree in the window. And then a series of realizations: He wants this to be over, but he doesn’t want San Lang to leave. He wants to rest his weary body, but he doesn’t want to have sex. He wants to be fed—

    -

    Xie Lian is cursed to need sex. Hua Cheng wants to help with that.

    Summary

    “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

    San Lang laughs. It’s low and raw and makes something in Xie Lian’s chest dance. Pitter patter, pitter patter, like ballerina toes. “So why are you meeting with Hua Cheng?”

    “To ask him to live with me,” says Xie Lian immediately.

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng become roommates.

    At the point where Xie Lian is struggling to breathe through the intense winds, he stops and turns his back to the source of it all. He squints to trace back his footsteps, but finds they’ve already faded into smooth snow drifts at the thirty foot mark.

    Summary

    It is a weird thing to wake up and realise that for the first time in 800 years, you are no longer in love. Hua Cheng felt it even before he opened his eyes, could taste it in the back of his throat. Even the air around him felt different: stale, and with a strange odour to it. With his eyes still closed, he took stock of his other mental facilities, and it all came back in order, except—

     

    Except that for the first time in 800 years, he thinks of Xie Lian and feels nothing.

     

    (in which Hua Cheng's devotion gets stolen, and no one is happy about it.)
