    Summary

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian is taken captive by the royal family of Yong’an. Immortal and unaging, he becomes their divine possession- a prize passed from king to king as a symbol of Yong’an’s might and proof of Heaven’s favour.

    He endures decades of control and humiliation, until the birth of a child changes everything. Lang Qianqiu- son of Yong'an's queen, but Xie Lian’s by blood- grows up beneath the shadow of secrets, lies, and stolen names.

    Or: Xie Lian is Lang Qianqiu’s mother, but no one knows it, and he gets buried anyway.

    OR: If you are brave enough to make it through 8 chapters of extreme angst and trauma you will be rewarded with truly egregious amounts of fluff, filthy sex and many happy hualian babies.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Because I know loving a child is not guaranteed. It’s a choice. One that some people cannot make.”

     

    “And I want you to understand that my loving you was never a burden. Never something I endured. It was a choice. Even when I didn’t have the power to act on it… my heart still chose you.”

    Summary

    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.

    Summary

    Bren wakes up in a dank Cell in Vergesson, the fading touch of his cell-mate on his temple and a scream of grief and denial on his lips. He seeks to flee this place of nightmares, to right the wrongs he had done, to erase the monstrosity he had committed. It’s a pipe dream, a fevered wish, but it's all he has left. On his way out, he kills a man who is more of a monster than he ever was, and steals something as important as his returning humanity- a Fairy.
    Fairies are beings said to be of pure Arcana, full of potential. Their wings shed a powder used to enhance a spell beyond the caster's ability. The creatures themselves are used as an Arcane Focus to negate use of material components and enhance spells focused through them.
    They are beautiful creatures, surprisingly humanoid, elf-like, and considered as intelligent as the average house-pet. Bren had seen these before, had worked with them in the past.
    So why, the longer he spends time with this Fairy, does he feel like this was another matter in which he'd been lied to? Why does he feel that this Fairy is- more, much more than it seems?

    Usually updates weekly, Saturday/Sunday but no guarantees. Hectic Schedule.

    Summary

    The room is silent. Neither wizard moves. A seagull calls in the Quay outside the tower.

    Yussa takes a step forward and Caleb drops the spell, lurching forward to catch the glass figurine in its freefall.

    The older wizard approaches the chalkboard and slows its spin, picking up a piece of chalk from where it had clattered to the floor. Carefully, he draws bold boxes around the parts of Caleb’s theorem where gravitational magic had played a key role.

    When Yussa turns to face the other wizard, Caleb looks younger than ever, standing awkwardly, clutching the figurine to his chest.

    “Who has been teaching you dunamancy, Master Widogast?”

    Yussa catches Caleb using dunamancy and wants to meet Essek. But after being introduced, Yussa has some concerns about Caleb and Essek's relationship. Misunderstandings abound.
