    Summary

    Objectively, turning down the invitation to her close friend's wedding was probably the best choice for everyone involved.

    There were too many things that made her sick to her stomach: knowing she could be spending time studying for med school, going back to the place she spent three weeks every summer at and knowing any nostalgia is replaced with bitterness, seeing the literal devil drooling over Xie Lian and doing anything her friend says, a crowd of people who were constantly dragging her into shenanigans, watching different couples suck face, being flirted with by the fucking flower boy, being forced into luxury dressing rooms, the overwhelming sense of guilt she feels at what has happened in the past and having to face it, forcing herself to not cry upon seeing her friend in a wedding dress (it was a beautiful dress in her defense!), and seeing the way Feng Xin had changed in different (and very [un]attractive) ways.

    Between whispered conversations underneath tables at restaurants, plans being made between beach chairs, hitting their former professor in the head with a ball when scheming on the golf course, and late nights laying on the sand staring up at the sky, the wedding was doomed.

    Summary

    The seasons change over two hundred times, and there was no banquet that Xie Lian was able to partake in again.

    Shi Qingxuan never once stops talking, and Xie Lian never once stops listening. Every single croak, every single little cough, every single crack of bone when his friend moves.

    “I’m glad you visited,” he says, turning to look at Shi Qingxuan.

    His friend shifts his own head on the side, so they both look at one another, and Shi Qingxuan lets out a smile that Xie Lian swears to never forget for as long as he exists. “I’m glad I visited too.”

    --
    In which Xie Lian becomes the Heavenly Emperor, and everything seems to fall apart with the very last time Shi Qingxuan comes to visit. The only promise he can make his friend is that he will make sure the new Lady Wind Master is beautiful as she was, and learns that watching Shi Qingxuan pass the torch hurts more than a hundred swords to his body.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan used to hide romance novels in his textbooks when he was in high school, and listen to beautiful instrumentals with headphones (both pieces in his ears, of course), knowing that love would make the music even more alive.

    Wei Ying used to hide in the corner of the grand staircase of a family who took him in, and would listen to two grown-ups who were supposedly disgustingly in love with one another shriek at one another, with headphones blaring (both pieces in his ears, of course), knowing that spewed jealousy could make any songs of adoration ring out as if played in a graveyard.

    [Day 134]

    Laughter is how this started and laughter is what rings in Lan Zhan’s ears as he lays down in his bed, his mind desperately holding onto the memory of Wei Ying’s presence.

    A supercut of this warmth keeps him up, playing again and again in his heart. A smile, crinkled eyes, a dash of freckles across a tender face, a brilliant voice regardless of the loudness.

    Lan Zhan closes his eyes, and wishes desperately he was lying as he whispers, “I’m in love with Wei Ying.”

    [Day 399]

    Lan Zhan smashes the record player to the floor. Someone in the room shouts, "I hate Wei Ying!"

    Summary

    After scoring perfectly on his exams for the first time, He Xuan starts his journey home to bear the good news to his family and marry his beloved that he has known since childhood.

    When stuck in a storm, he finds himself making the decision to practice for his wedding ceremony.

    What he does not expect, however, is the practice to turn into a real marriage with a ghost.

    Determined to fix this entire mistake, He Xuan finds himself at the mercy of his ghost wife's whims and desire to have their marriage be as real as if they were both alive.

    Shi Qingxuan is beautiful, and kindhearted, and one of the most infuriating women He Xuan had ever met, and she refuses to give back the ring he had placed down upon her fan. Dragged down to ghost realm alongside his bride, he is forced to prepare for another version of their wedding, though this time, in front of the entirety of Ghost City.

    To get back to the world of the living, He Xuan has to grapple with the fact he has to be deceitful to a woman who is completely besotted with him, and figuring out what about a woman with no pulse sets his heart aflame.

    Summary

    He had heard tales before. Of swan maidens, alone as he was, innocent and unaware of eyes watching them. The desire that filled the humans as they watched the creatures, swimming in glistening streams with their enchanting bodies, oblivious to the cruelness of the world until their coats were snatched up right before their eyes. He had even heard tales before where the swans were with their own flock when a foreign interloper grasps the feathers of one. The others, in these versions, flee for the fear of selfish hands grasping them next.

    --
    When stolen away from a lake in a land of eternal winter, Shang Qinghua is subjected to cruelty at the hands of one demon lord, and unaware that another demon's heart was taken from him when he set his eyes on the swan maiden. As he desperately tries to find his feathered form in the seemingly never-ending walls of the Northern Palace, he gains the attention of Mobei-jun without knowing exactly why. His false husband's nephew was heartbreakingly handsome, somehow even colder than his uncle, and everything Shang Qinghua had ever wanted in a mate when he was a cygnet.

    Mobei-jun, on the other hand, is intent on killing his uncle and having Shang Qinghua for himself.

    Summary

    Things are going great for Shi Qingxuan. Junior year at Columbia University is stressful, but it is all worth it because the prize lays ahead: becoming a winner of the King's Crown Leadership and Excellence Awards. The coffee shop is easy work, her friends are amazing, and life is wonderful. She may not have the approval of her brother on most things, and she might have to hide her sexuality and interests around him, but all is well!

    And then the most beautiful woman in the world walks into her work, and the year takes a turn.

     

    Things are not going great for He Xuan. Junior year at Columbia University is stressful, but it might be worth it if she wins the prize that lays ahead: becoming a winner of the King's Crown Leadership and Excellence Awards. The club she manages is admittedly easy work, as she has no friends to put up with. She may need to pay back all the debt her parents racked up before they died, and she might not even have a place she can call "home" anymore, but one day it might all be fine. Not great, but bearable.

    And then the most annoying woman in the world works at the coffee shop she goes to, and the year takes a turn.

    Summary

    Oh, Apollo had craved, and desired, and had wanted for what felt like eons all for this glorious prince. What would be a blink of an eye to a God had been pure torture, and no matter how many times he attempted to paint the sunset the same shade of the prince's lips, the intention to court Perseus could not be truly seen.

    It is time for Apollo to claim the youth as his own.

    Summary

    He's been here for hours, but he's been watching the same movie for years. He presses rewind, has all their friends come in at different points until they grow bored of the same scenes on the screen, has all of their friends telling him that it's time to stop playing supercuts of Dazai.

    He thinks, briefly, about going to another show.

    (or, the one in which Chuuya sits down in the movie theatre and watches Dazai and him fall in love, become enemies, get together, heal, fall apart, become strangers, and fall out of love, but just not necessarily in that order. A fleeting, bittersweet showing that is told in five acts.)

    Summary

    Meeting an angel after asking various women at the dog park if they would like to follow through with a lovers suicide with you seems highly unlikely, yet here Dazai is.

    Maybe, just maybe, he should have at least known the name of the dog he stole in order to search for his suicide partner.

    Summary

    The prince's fingers are always sticky, dipped into sugar as he sits bored in his tower, willing for the sun to go away.

    A single glance at the beautiful man who sells his jam in the town below will be the cause of all of Prince Dazai's future cavities.

    (or, in which Dazai gets an appreciation for the sun that allows Chuuya's freckled cheeks to be rosy, and it just so happens that his jam is the sweetest thing the prince had ever tasted. Love (?) is bound to stick to them more than any fruit preserves ever could.)

    Summary

    There is said to be a prince with hair aflame as if Prometheus created it, red cheeks freckled as if Apollo himself had whispered a kiss upon them, plush lips as red as the camellias Persephone made bloom when her gentle feet touch the earth for the first time each spring. There is said to be a prince so beautiful that people worship him instead of Dazai's mother, Aphrodite.

    How foolish and arrogant it was for Dazai to not think he too would fall in love at first sight.

    Summary

    "So, Chuuya? Will you be mine for life?"

    A shake of his head.

    Then, brokenly, "If this is a joke, chibi, it’s not a funny one. We agreed I was the funny one.”

    Summary

    “This is the best day of my life!” the man cried out, his voice a bit high-pitched from how genuinely happy he sounded. His eyes were full of light, as if he was the one who saw a holy being. “A beautiful, ethereal, otherworldly angel has chosen to talk to me first! Oh, goodness, nothing could be better than this!”

    Your mouth opens and closes like a fish, and you’re now positive your soul is sliding out of your body as you watch as he guides your hand to cup his handsome face, his hand pressing yours against him. Oh god, he hasn’t let go. You’re sure you can die now, happy that a man this beautiful said this about you. You open your mouth to reply, when he beats you to it.

    “Will you commit a double suicide with me?”

    Wait -- what the FUCK?!

    -- or, you fall in love at first sight, but with the wrong man.
