    Summary

    “Your move, kid,” Blood God says in his body, before disappearing entirely over the edge of the roof. Tommy hears another loud crackling zap of electricity after that, and then another, and realizes that the man is jumping from roof to roof, escaping between Tommy’s fingers before he even has the chance to act.

    He doesn’t want to panic. He shouldn’t panic. He’s still smart, and capable, and a hero.

    He’s totally panicking.

    or: hero Voltage and villain Blood God accidentally switch bodies in a scuffle involving a potion. Nothing goes well, because when does it ever?

    Summary

    Hua Cheng was acutely aware that he was missing something crucial about his past, buried deep in his still-forgotten memories. He didn’t even know why he had chosen to persist in the mortal realm past his natural death. So for these past five centuries, one simple principle had guided him—until he could remember his undying purpose, he would take any chance he could to learn more about his past, follow every loose thread until he could follow it no more. And the White-Clothed Calamity? Well, that was one hell of a loose thread.


    For over four centuries, the White-Clothed Calamity has been sealed within Mount Tong’lu. For nearly as many years, local cultivators have sent cursed individuals to Mount Tong’lu as sacrifices in the hopes of staving off misfortune and plague.

    In a series of fateful events, Hua Cheng is captured by a group of such cultivators when they see his cursed eye. After he breaks free, he comes across another prisoner—an odd, kind, and very handsome man in white—and together, the two attempt to escape from Mount Tong’lu and flee the grasp of its shadowy master.

    In other words: a Hualian canon divergence amnesia fic dressed up as an ICO AU.

    Summary

    A rumbling laugh is pulled from Technoblade’s chest, the first time Tommy has heard it. It’s strangely melodic for how intimidating he is at first glance. “This body is not human, if that’s what you’re wondering. I have animalistic traits.”

    “Uh-huh,” Tommy agrees, pulling his gaze back to Technoblade’s eyes. “This body?”

    “I can change my form at will. My true form may well send you into a catatonic state.”

    “Oh.” Tommy inspects him for a second. “Well. Don’t show me that, I guess. But this one’s not too bad.” 

    or: Tommy is yanked rudely from prison to serve as a sacrifice to bring an ancient god out of dormancy. Technoblade is not happy when he awakes and finds out they're planning to kill Tommy to complete the ritual.

    Lang Qianqiu wants to hear him apologise. He wants to hear Fang Xin say that he’s sorry, that he hadn’t thought it through, that it was just a slip of judgement.

    (Some part of Lang Qianqiu curls up in fear, because he thinks that if Fang Xin said this, he would let him go.

    This is his teacher, after all.)

    Lang Qianqiu and his teacher, through the years.

    Summary

    Because somehow, he noticed, the heavens seemed not to have recognised who he was. They hadn’t realised that in their midst was the Devastation of a Ghost King born out of the kiln of Mount Tonglu; the anonymous ghost nicknamed Crimson Rain Sought Flower who had burnt down all the temples of thirty three gods in a single night. Perhaps that was why, instead of darting forth to dig out the hateful god’s eyes, he found a delicate smile gracing his lips upon hearing Jun Wu’s words.

    “Fire Master Hua Cheng, I welcome you to the Heavenly Court,” his lilting voice said. “Here, you may claim your place amongst the heavens.”

    Hua Cheng ascends as the Fire Master years after he's established himself as a Ghost King. And instead of jumping back down from the heavens, he stays.

    Dick understands the necessity of working with Hush, that having the world continue on thinking that Bruce Wayne is alive is a useful thing. Doesn't mean he has to like it. Doesn't mean it's easy to engage with a man with Bruce's face when Dick still misses his dad like a limb.

    And it turns out that's a weakness Thomas is all too happy to exploit.

    Summary

    It was inevitable, the smell—it hung around every Yujian Bang assassin and spy like a damp robe, trailing out behind them in ribbons. Prostitutes and brothel workers always smelled of flowers and tea, scholars smelled of ink and incense, and upstanding martial warriors smelled of the wind and the loam. The bottoms of ponds and rivers. Mulch. Yujian Bang, the Jade Sword Gang, smelled of blood—of animals, of Blood Prisoners, of their own.

    Summary

    “Gege!” The stranger says, cheerful and incredibly familiar. “Is the water warmer on that side?”

    Not thinking much about it, Xie Lian sticks his hand in the river. The fish scatter underneath him. “I can’t say if it’s warmer but it is quite warm.” He doesn’t explicitly mention that it’s been almost a year since he’s felt the current on the other side and so would have no way of knowing.

    But his answer seems adequate enough—the youth perks up and rises to his feet. “I thought the sun shined brighter on gege’s side! Would you mind if I joined you over there?”

    “Not at all,” Xie Lian responds in turn. “I have to warn you though, it’s a long way around. And the sun is to set in a few hours, perhaps the time it would take for you to get here is better spent getting home.”

    Not a second after Xie Lian finishes his sentence, the boy laughs. Settling into a grin, he says, “Gege, what’s there to do? I was kicked out today, I’m afraid there’s no better way to spend my time.”

    Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
    "Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
    "Your Highness."
    "Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
    Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
    "It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.

    Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.

    Mei Nianqing is still proud of his former pupil—and why SHOULDN’T he be? Despite 800 years and, ahem, a little rebellious phase, Xie Lian still had all the qualities of the perfect student: diligent, intelligent, celibate—yes, CELIBATE! Surely he was still celibate, even after running off with that no-good ghost king, right? After all, he's Xie Lian! He wouldn’t break his principles, especially not over someone like that.

    But, over the course of a prolonged stay at paradise manor, the evidence starts building up...and to his horror, Guoshi is beginning to suspect that...his star pupil, his pure snow-white lotus...His Highness the Crown Prince...

    Xie Lian isn’t particularly worried about the progress of his relationship with Hua Cheng. After all, Hua Cheng seems to be fine with just kissing and hugging for now; wouldn't it be weird to ask for something else? Maybe one day they’d do more, when Xie Lian is ready. He wants to be ready.

    Then, Xie Lian has a nightmare.
