    Summary

    He couldn't remember anything; not where he was or how he'd gotten there, not anything about the strange creatures that chased him or why people seemed to look through him. He couldn't even remember the man, or rather the god, whose blue eyes glowed and settled on him with a heavy, complicated sadness.

    'Yukine', the god had called him, with a familiarity and a fondness that made him feel warm. But even so, he couldn't remember.

    Summary

    Ruoye abandons his play and bolts to Xie Lian’s side, his eyes wide and his ears pricked: the boy smells like blood and disease, but he clings to Xie Lian with startling strength. Ruoye searches for the boy’s daemon, eager to check that it is safe after such a fall. He finds nothing.

    Even when Xie Lian carries the boy back to the palace, no daemon shows itself. Ruoye can’t smell one on him, either; he will not understand why until weeks later, when ghosts flood to Taicang Mountain. He hears the whispers, then: the boy is cursed, daemonless, a freak and a monster and a creature best left for dead.

    Fuck that, Ruoye thinks.

    Or: TGCF ft. daemons.

    Summary

    “Okay, San Lang, let’s talk,” Xie Lian says, and is proud of how steady his voice stays. “Tell me about the cuts.”

    “You talked to E-ming, didn’t you,” Hua Cheng says bleakly.

    “It only confirmed what I already suspected.” Xie Lian closes his eyes. “Can you tell me that those injuries aren’t from who I think they are?”

    “Dianxia is so clever.” Hua Cheng looks at him, and there is a sudden exhaustion written in the lines around his eye. “I could tell you they aren’t, but...this San Lang is tired of lying to his god.”

    Despite his suspicions, to hear it admitted so plainly from Hua Cheng’s own mouth feels like a fist to his heart. Xie Lian takes a deep, deep, deep breath. Calmly. Calmly and clearly. He has already done his crying. He is not going to freak out right now. He is not going to yell. He is not going to yell. He is not—

    “What were you thinking, Hua Cheng?!”

    When E-ming is stolen and its curse activated by enemies, Xie Lian fully expects the chorus of pained howls he hears outside of Paradise Manor. What he does not expect is the multitude of raw, gaping wounds that split open along his husband’s skin.

    Summary

    Feng Xin would like to think that he has become accustomed to the variety of strange (and often unfortunate) events that surround Xie Lian. He has become accustomed to the flights of fancy, and the trash collecting, and the occasional ill-fated culinary quest. He has even, as of late, become accustomed to His Highness’ cripplingly poor choice in spouse.

    Despite all of Feng Xin’s practice in these unfortunates, however, he is not prepared for this.

    “Who are you?” Xie Lian stares up at him from a puddle of oversized white robes, his eyes wide. He is several sizes too small, and several shades too oblivious. “And, um. Where are we?”

    Beside him, Mu Qing sighs very very very deeply and pinches the bridge of his nose.

    When a curse turns Xie Lian into a child again, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Hua Cheng have to work together to keep him safe. Needless to say, this is a trying task for all of them.

    Summary

    When the thick black fog of the curse clears, there’s a child standing in front of Xie Lian. He’s small—he’s so, so small—and as soon as he sees Xie Lian, he wraps his arms around himself and hunches his shoulders like he’s trying to make himself even smaller. There is not a single spark of recognition in that wide, wild eye.

    “...San Lang?!”

    When a curse turns Hua Cheng into a child again, it's up to Xie Lian to take care of him. It's a task easier said than done, when Hua Cheng's memories have regressed along with the rest of him.

    Summary

    Yato lives a miserable life. At noon, he delivers food for old Tenjin's pizzeria. He doesn't know why he hasn't given up that job long ago. Abysmal salary, terrible working hours and most of the customers are ungrateful jerks. He really should quit, if there wasn't this one delivery he always looks forward to. Still, he tries not to get too drawn in by the beautiful student. It wouldn't work anyway, because when the sun goes down, he crosses the boundaries of the gray area and fulfills addicts' self-imposed wishes. He's good at his job, doesn't ask questions, is resigned to it. Until this annoying boy shows up.

    Summary

    As much as Yukine enjoys all the praise for becoming a hafuri—and especially enjoys rubbing it in his master's face—something rubs him the wrong way about how his newfound status reflects on Yato. Really, he had been so sure that Yato was the one who was going to embarrass them at the colloquy.

    Summary

    It drives Yukine crazy how Yato isn't afraid of anything, even if he has to grudgingly respect his fearlessness. Never does it hit closer to home than when the power goes out in the middle of a storm. Yukine doesn't feel very brave, but he'd like to learn.

    Summary

    When it comes to something like this, there are a few important steps:

    First, Xie Lian makes sure that his husband is busy. Something like that makes it sound so terrible, but it’s not—it’s really not! It’s just that Hua Cheng can be overprotective, and if he saw this he would react poorly. Xie Lian would rather spare him that.

    Second, Xie Lian puts Ruoye away. The poor thing never wants to go. He has to tie it somewhere safe and placate it with gentle touches and soothing words. Even so, it still lashes its ends and strains after him until he leaves the room. It will cling too tightly when he returns.

    Third, Xie Lian goes somewhere quiet and familiar. It can be the armory, or their private baths, or even the shrine near Puqi Village. It is never their bedroom. It is never their cottage.

    Fourth, Xie Lian draws his sword.

    Fifthly, finally, Xie Lian takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and carves his own skin open.
