    Summary

    Xie Lian has spent long enough around sirens to have some grasp of their communication, and some of it is even a little similar to mer noises. This sound, for example, is like the one podmates use to call for each other—curious, beckoning. He suspects it means much the same thing for sirens. Has this siren lost someone, maybe?

    Hopefully it will find its lost someone soon, so Xie Lian can go back to sleep.

    Then, because nothing good can ever happen to Xie Lian, the siren peeks beneath the overhang. It hangs its head over the jut of stone, its hair billowing like a crown of ink and the yellow sclera of its eye bright against the black. That singular eye catches on his, its pupil dilating, and Xie Lian stiffens.

    Summary

    For as long as he can remember, Mingi has wanted to perform. Get up on stage and catch every person’s eye, make them unable to look away.

    The irony of his current position isn’t lost on Mingi, as screeches and hoots roll over him at a particularly sharp thrust of his hips. While not quite the Tokyo Dome, slowly taking his clothes off while dancing on the main stage at the Treasure Club is no less daunting on ladies’ night.

    Or in which Mingi dances exotically to make ends meet. As a favour to his boss, he starts working the private nights at underground bar Eden, hosting its wealthiest and most crooked patrons. There, he meets a tall drink of water who changes the trajectory of his life.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”

    Summary

    “I made you ‘Love for All Seasons’ stew,” Xie Lian says.

    Hua Cheng makes an odd sort of choking noise that the sound department either will or will not be generous enough to edit out during post-production. “It’s beautiful.”

    Lan Wangji regards the stew. “This looks like it was regurgitated.”

    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    After his death at the first siege of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is thrown back in time to when he was nine years old, just before Jiang Fengmian took him to Lotus Pier with its wavering affection and unpayable mountain of debts. He decides to take the second chance he has been offered, to live freely and without regrets.

    As it turns out, a life without regrets involves:
    1. Avoiding all attempts to be adopted so you can launch your career as a rogue-cultivating-assassin, while
    2. Juggling a hit-list comprised of the cultivation world’s Who’s Who, and
    3. Desperately missing your not-boyfriend who picked the worst ever timing to confess his undying love for you.

    Murder and mayhem to follow.

    Summary

    The first tremor is constant, persistent, the tremor of the earth shaking in the wake of a catastrophe. However, it is not the shaking of an earth, but a tremor sweeping the heavens and alerting all celestial officials.
    Someone is ascending.

    Or, instead of the third ascension of Your Highness, the Omega Crown Prince Xie Lian, Xie Meihua ascends in his place. The young Alpha newly ascended has a debt of merit that spreads chaotically, forcing him to hunt down a ghost groom.
    And, unexpectedly, encountering a father he has never seen in sixteen years, and who has been searching for Xie Lian for eight centuries (except for that one blurry time he found him almost seventeen years ago).

    Summary

    Ascensions are occasions to celebrate, unique moments of joy and excitement for old and incredibly bored Heaven Officials. Usually. However, when Prince Hua Cheng inexplicably crashes back in heaven for the third time, there is a lot of excitement indeed, but very little joy.

    “I’m back, bitches,” Hua Cheng grins dangerously as he steps out of the palace he just wrecked during his spectacular ascension. “Missed me?”

    Or: Role Reversal!AU, in which Hua Cheng is the twice forsaken God of Revenge and Misfortune and former prince of a country he destroyed himself 800 years ago. He genuinely has no clue why the infamous demon king White Sword Whispering Death would be interested in a humble wandering priest like himself and would like to be left alone to carve his Xie Lian statues in peace, thank you very much.

    “Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying said, his voice breaking. “You can’t love me any more. I didn’t survive.”

    “I’ll love you even when you’re a ghost.”

    “When I’m a demon, Lan Zhan? When I’m a walking corpse? When everything inside me has been eaten away and I’m just resentment clothed in human skin?”

    “Even then,” Lan Wangji said, so softly even he barely heard it.

    “Even when I don’t deserve it?” Wei Ying asked.

    “It’s not something you need to earn,” Lan Wangji said.

    After the horrible confrontation that happens when Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and Jiang Cheng are reunited just before killing Wen Chao, Wei Wuxian goes to find Lan Wangji, who he's been having a secret relationship, and somehow things get even worse.

    In order to make Wei Wuxian feel welcome at the Cloud Recesses, and to make sure people give him the respect he deserves (and definitely not to get into his pants), Lan Wangji hires him to be his advisor.

    or

    “Lan Zhan, did you hire me just so you could punish people for disrespecting me?”

    “No,” Lan Wangji said. “It is a side benefit.”

    “Why did you hire me?”

    “Because you are knowledgeable and skilled,” Lan Wangji said, “and I trust you to assist me in my work.”

    Because everything is easier with you around and because I feel like a part of me is missing without you and because you can say things I can’t and because I need you he did not say.

    “And you secretly like being a bitch to people,” Wei Wuxian added, with a sly grin.

    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

    His eyes drift down to the small, golden plaque beneath the canvas, the piece’s name etched with great care—

    The Crown Prince of Xianle.

    Xianle.

    One of his hands rises, pressing against his temple as a headache starts to pinch at him, his thoughts slowly starting to swirl around his head in a confused haze.

    Where has he heard that name before? Maybe in some sort of history or literature class, but Xie Lian knows that he’s heard it somewhere.

    And everyone else in the exhibit seems to be looking upon the painting with awestruck expressions, as though they’re looking upon this thing of great beauty. All around him, Xie Lian can hear quiet murmurs of—

    Beautiful.

    He doesn’t even look real, does he?

    Almost like an angel.

    When he looks upon that face, Xie Lian doesn’t see a thing of beauty—not because the artist’s work is not dazzling, it is—

    But all Xie Lian sees, when he looks upon this Crown Prince of Xianle, is something monstrous.

    And for the life of him—he couldn’t tell you why.
