    Summary

    The world changes, when looked through a different lens.

    In some ways it's worse to know that someone else suffers with you—especially knowing that they are your own soul, more precious than anything. In many ways, it's so much better to know that you are not and will never truly be alone.

    Stories told of gods, of ghosts, and of daemons.

    Summary

    Ruoye abandons his play and bolts to Xie Lian’s side, his eyes wide and his ears pricked: the boy smells like blood and disease, but he clings to Xie Lian with startling strength. Ruoye searches for the boy’s daemon, eager to check that it is safe after such a fall. He finds nothing.

    Even when Xie Lian carries the boy back to the palace, no daemon shows itself. Ruoye can’t smell one on him, either; he will not understand why until weeks later, when ghosts flood to Taicang Mountain. He hears the whispers, then: the boy is cursed, daemonless, a freak and a monster and a creature best left for dead.

    Fuck that, Ruoye thinks.

    Or: TGCF ft. daemons.

    Summary

    It was simply beautiful.

    The smooth lines, the sweet candor of the marble, the careful etching of the details, the slope of every curve on the bodies, the sharp angles of the tension between them.

    Xie Lian stood, frozen in stupor as he admired the beauty of the sculpture.

    or: Cave of Ten Thousand Gods retelling where Xie Lian actually sees the Land of the Tender (and many many more) sculptures and chaos ensues.

    Summary

    After Hua Cheng is called in to do a rather simple task at a rather decrepit home, he finds himself replacing more than just the carpet in Xie Lian’s home—for example: the stove, the cabinets, the walls, the roof, and his heart (in Xie Lian’s hands).

    Summary

    Have you ever read Book 4 and thought, "Wow, this is really fucking sad. Wouldn't it have been great if things had gone just a little differently?" Do you love Wu Ming and wish there had been more of him in the novel? Are you a fan of pining, slow-burn, and hurt/comfort tropes?

    If so, then this might just be the fic for you~
