    In which Feng Xin and Mu Qing navigate their relationship with each other after the grand re-opening of Puji Shrine – from finding out what happened during Xie Lian’s first banishment, to getting closure in Ghost City, to being friends and maybe even more.

    Summary

    "Is it okay?"

    Mu Qing blinks. "Is...what okay?" He looks down at the fingers idly rubbing the embroidered ribbon that ties his braid, then back at Feng Xin. "This, or you being here, or...?"

    Feng Xin shrugs again. "All of it."

    The swift clarity of the answer his heart provides takes Mu Qing by surprise, but he doesn't let it show. At least, he doesn't think so. He swallows thickly, then nods. He doesn't say, "of course," but he could. Maybe someday he will, maybe next time Feng Xin asks.

    Somehow, Feng Xin's grin brightens. There should be a law against smiles like his, Mu Qing thinks in a moment of what must be delirium.

    ***

    A little story about tea and laughter and the mortifying (wonderful, life-changing) ordeal of being known.

    Summary

    In eight hundred years, Mu Qing has never felt that he has been missing anything by refusing to drink alcohol. 

    It’s not for lack of offering; the bottles occasionally appear in his temples, even if his worshippers should know better than to give him earthly temptations, and other gods have warily invited him to drink on special occasions. He accepts the shared cup during the Battle of the Lanterns, an exception to his otherwise tightly controlled cultivation, but a sip is only a sip… 

    Drinking expressly with the purpose to be drunk is another matter, and one that he avoids. 

    usually, that is. 

    -

    Xie Lian and Feng Xin drink together. Mu Qing practices so he can join in next time.

    Summary

    Fu Yao frowns, and glances around; it’s really too dark to play anything that involves their surroundings as inspiration, and besides, he doesn’t want to do anything that will risk taking them away from the shrine they’re trying to guard.

    “There’s the game,” he offers after a second, “that the Palace of Ming Guang started.”

    -

    Fu Yao and Nan Feng play a game (that Nan Feng is supposed to lose).

    Summary

    It’s been long enough that Feng Xin probably doesn’t even remember his number… his contact is deleted, and the fact that he’s gone to the dial screen on his phone doesn’t mean he really intends to call. He’s just playing a game with himself to see if he still remembers the series of numbers. Mu Qing had made him memorize it; someone needs to look after you, fuck knows you won’t do it yourself.

    “Sorry,” Feng Xin says into the phone, closing his eyes and tilting his head back against the rough brick of the club exterior. Music’s still too loud. “I didn’t mean to call. I thought, I just wanted to see if I remembered? You know. I still know my family’s phone number from when I was growing up too…”

    “It’s three in the fucking morning, Feng Xin,” Mu Qing’s tired voice interrupts. “Why the fuck are you calling me?”

    -

    Feng Xin needs a ride home from the bar and drunk calls his ex-boyfriend.

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Feng Xin leave Mu Qing and Hua Cheng together. Alone, and unsupervised. Shenanigans ensue.

    Hua Cheng was expecting Mu Qing to make an obligatory rude remark about his demonic handwriting, and that he would say something suitably snippy back and that would be the end of it. But instead Mu Qing says, “Have you ever tried writing with your left hand?”

    Hua Cheng’s expression changed, “What?”

    Mu Qing pointed at the scribbles adorning the page, “Have you ever tried writing with your left hand?”

    Hua Cheng eyed him calmly, “No.”

    Mu Qing smiled at him smugly, “Do you want to impress Xie Lian?”

    Summary

    Black hockey skates with white laces appear in front of him, and when Mu Qing looks up, he finds a gloved hand reaching towards him, offering to help him up.

    Mu Qing takes the offered hand, struggling to sit up on bruised knees before he gingerly picks himself up and balances on the blades of his comparatively delicate figure skates.

    “What,” he hisses as he reaches down to dust off the front of his leggings, “is your fucking problem? Did someone hit you in the head? Are you stupid?”

    -

    Mu Qing is training for a figure skating competition. Feng Xin is on the local hockey team, and keeps getting in his way.

    Summary

    Feng Xin reaches out and closes his hand around the tip of the arrow, guiding it downwards; he’s not laughing anymore, but his expression is still amused, and Mu Qing tries not to fantasize about all the different ways he could make him stop smirking. A well-placed kick, or a well-placed…

    “Try it again,” Feng Xin suggests. “It wasn’t bad. Let me watch and see what you’re doing wrong.”

    -

    Feng Xin practices archery and invites Mu Qing to practice with him (and things escalate from there).

    Summary

    “So where do you want to do this?” Feng Xin asks, pulling off the uniform cap and running a hand through his tousled brown hair.

    Mu Qing blinks. “Do… what?”

    “Don’t act all shy about it. Are you trying to blow me for free pizza or not?”

    -

    In which Mu Qing, delivery boy for Xuan Zhen Pizza Palace, orders pizza from Nan Yang Famous Extra Hot Pizza to annoy his rival delivery boy. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any money to pay for it.

    Summary

    But the cool expression that he so often sees on Mu Qing’s face is absent, skin red and puffed under his eyelids. The harsh glare of the fluorescent hallway lights reveal the glittering wetness of his eyes. His nose shows signs of irritation, as if he’s been frequently rubbing at it.

    “My boyfriend broke up with me,” Mu Qing deadpans, and he enters the apartment, shoving past Feng Xin.

    “Uh,” Feng Xin says because, What the hell?

    Summary

    “You’re supposed to eat the cake, not stare at it until it jumps into your mouth.”

    Mu Qing spares him a glare. “I’m evaluating its visual aesthetic.” He holds up his plate of chocolate cake for emphasis. “It doesn’t matter if it tastes good if it doesn’t look good to start with.”

    Feng Xin only manages to stifle a long sigh by shoving a forkful into his mouth. “Not everything is about looks. Just eat the fucking cake.”

    — (or, Feng Xin and Mu Qing pretend to be engaged for free food.)
