    Summary

    After the events at Dafan, a recently-revived Wei Wuxian finds himself stuck in Lotus Pier, desperately playing the part of a lunatic under the watchful eye of the man who murdered him— his shidi and sort of lover. If given the choice, he would never see Jiang Cheng again. However, he is soon surprised to find that despite the passing of the years, and the circumstances of his death, his shidi is still very much in mourning.

    Wei Wuxian soon finds himself tumbling back into bed with his shidi— but this time, as Mo Xuanyu.

    This fic was written for the Chengxian Server Bang and is complete!

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    "They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."

    Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.

    What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.

    When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.

    Summary

    When Song Lan confronts Xue Yang in Yi City, Xue Yang makes him an offer he can't refuse: Song Lan moves in. Xiao Xingchen stays ignorant (and happy). Nobody has to die.

    Three in a coffin house becomes four. This is, it turns out, not an easy adjustment to make. Xue Yang discovers that Song Lan moving in means living with Song Lan. Xiao Xingchen's reunion with his dear friend isn't going as smoothly as he'd hoped. Song Lan realizes that Xiao Xingchen has built a life without him in it. A-Qing is pretty sure everyone here has lost their minds.

    But they're going to make this work. Or die trying.
