    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

    Summary

    “My ministers have nothing better to do all day than write these pathetic, trifling manifestos about how the king is being coerced by the wiles of an evil concubine.”

    Xie Lian blinked a few times. “Who?”

    Hua Cheng’s smirk grew wider. “Why, you, of course. Who else? These idiots of the court are threatening to smash their heads into the pillars and die if I don’t wrench myself out of your web of enchantment.”

    Xie Lian suddenly felt quite speechless. Who was the one enchanting who, exactly? Clearly it was the king who wouldn’t stop summoning him every minute of the day!

    OR: transmigrator!hua cheng becomes a king inside in his least favorite novel, and he has his sights set on a particular concubine

    Finished…

    2: HC has unlocked SQX as a friend (by thinly veiled care of XL) and defeated his first quest platonically, much to the system’s shagrin. Quest 2 is establishing an heir.

    Summary

    Caleb should go back inside.

    Caleb should stand up, go back inside, and forget that he saw anything curled up in the filthy alleyway behind his building. Stay out of trouble. Things die all the time.

    When he lays two fingers at the vampire’s neck, its skin is chill as the wet cobblestones. He can just feel the tiny rise and fall of its ribcage.

    Damnit.

    Finished 13: Essek is delighted by Caleb’s annotations in a wizard publication and wants to snag more of his copies… Also it mentioned a publication he wrote a while ago so excited for THAT to be revealed eventually. Caleb’s memory is sure to retain that little mention…

    Essek is NOT panicking in a bathtub because he has a very nice night, dammit. He’s also so so curious and cannot Suggest C tells him his backstory.

    spell taught, Caleb like “ooooooh Essek magic shiny. Essek shiny.” and shows his keen mind

    everyone is floaty and good! Riding the highs of a good feeding/envenoming and there are no dark histories of being on venom and tortured so one doesn’t learn to enjoy it not at all

    first feeding, explicit consent Essek let’s go, Caleb is more relaxed than he’s ever allowed to be and is now sleepy boi

    E and C set to meet up on Thursday (IITY?😉) for blood, Essek dropped of contract in the mail and will go over Caleb’s revisions when they meet, both are hanging on by a thread my guy. Essek like I’m so in control of my life and fine and Caleb’s pretending like his life isn’t a series of panicked Frumpkin snuggles.

    Essek has left after being saved by Caleb, and both of them are struggling against panic attacks in the following days.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan transmigrates during the previous generation of Cang Qiong, and despite being totally mediocre (or so he thinks) he ends up becoming the Head Disciple of Qing Jing Peak. Shen Yuan decides to try and live his life to the best of his ability, avoid the scum villain when he makes his inevitable appearance, and grow stronger so he can stay alive long enough to be able to see his favourite protagonist in the flesh - and then escape so he's not killed when Luo Binghe takes over the world.

    But, of course, the plot has got to plot, and nothing ever goes according to plan.

     

    ~My version of a Shen Yuan disciple fic, where Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu become martial siblings, and the world conspires against them~

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.
