    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar. 

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.

    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugo's been trying to get up the courage to talk to his gym crush for almost six months, but he just can't bring himself to do it.

    Until Izuku Midoriya introduces himself to Bakugo and they start getting closer. Bakugo finds himself falling harder and harder for Izuku, debating on asking for his number or just to go out in general. Or they can have hot gym sex in the back stall of the bathroom- he doesn't really care.

    And then, it all comes crashing down when Izuku comes in with a girl. A pretty girl. And doesn't look at Bakugo once.

    Well, shit.

    Summary

    Viktor's laugh is like wildflowers. At least, Yuuri thinks so.
    The first time he heard it, it was so bright, and wild, and the sound had strange, imperfect angles that were beautiful in their own untamed way. Viktor's face wrinkled up, and he looked so vibrant and alive that Yuuri couldn't help but love it.
    And he definitely doesn’t lie in bed at night thinking about it. That would be weird.

    ---

    Or, five times Viktor and Yuuri shared a bed and one time they didn’t... and then do again.

    Summary

    "I've been thinking about this all night," Yuuri said finally. "I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do, but I just knew—I knew I wanted this." He flexed his fingers, causing his nails to scrape against Victor's skin. The slight movement earned him a gasp from Victor.

    Victor was silent for a moment. "And by this, you mean—" he didn't finish his question, but Yuuri understood what he was asking. Victor wanted Yuuri's boundaries.

    "All of it." Yuuri said. "I just—" Yuuri finally pulled his hand away, deciding he needed a bit more concentration for this part, something he wouldn't have if he could still feel Victor. He looked down at his feet to gather his courage. "You should know that I haven't before. Not completely." The room was quiet, and the urge to fill it bubbled up. "There was never the right time, or the right person, and I know I'm twenty three, but—" Yuuri stopped when Victor put his finger under Yuuri's chin and forced him to meet his eyes.

    Victor had a soft smile on his face. "I'd be honored to be your first."

    Yuuri comes home from Russia alone and is forced to deal with his feelings for Victor.

    Summary

    "It's not that, it's just… San Lang's class has the viewing for their portfolios that day. It's really important, and I said I'd go for emotional support. You could come, too." Xie Lian explained.

    Shi Qingxuan sighed dramatically, "That's sweet, but I don't need to spend the evening being a third wheel while you make doe eyes at your new boyfriend."

    Xie Lian stumbled, taken off guard by such an accusation, "What?" He laughed, shaking his head, "Friend. He's my friend."

    "Yeah, for now," Shi Qingxuan appeared oblivious to Xie Lian's shock, doubling down, "When are you going to ask him out, anyway? Or are you hoping he'll make the first move? Because I totally understand wanting him to ask you, but sometimes you just have to risk the rejection to get what you want."

    "Qingxuan," Xie Lian said their name sternly, hoping to make them stop before they made this any more awkward than it already was, "I'm straight, okay?"
