Summary
Damien follows the pull of fate to the decrepit space station known locally as "Twelve"—although his relationship with fate is more literal than most. And yet, Damien's presence seldom means that anything good is about to happen. Once there, he is tasked with unraveling the mystery of Twelve's inexplicably decaying orbit, but the people on Twelve have hidden agendas of their own.
Celestine's family has been able to talk to ghosts for as long as she can remember, and even if they typically prefer to converse with her more charismatic brother, Celestine has a particular talent for exorcism. But something is wrong with the ghosts on Twelve—they're deteriorating at a much more accelerated rate than they should, and she has no idea why or how to help them.
As Damien and Celestine's paths orbit one another, they must disentangle Twelve's mysteries before time runs out.

Summary
Now, Kiryu descended into a flat, eerie sort of calm. “I have to make things right.”
Staring, Majima searched him for the falsehood that must be present in such a statement, seeking the resentment that must be boiling just beneath the surface.
He didn’t find it.
Fascinated, disgusted, Majima whispered, “You really, really mean that, don’t you?”

Summary
He watched Saejima get dragged away again, and Majima knew he wouldn’t look back, so he didn’t hope for it.
The fact that the pigs were after Kiryu too was the fucking cherry on top of it all, insult to injury after injury. Majima shut his eye, let his head thunk back against Kiryu’s door in overwhelming exhaustion. He didn’t know how many more times he had it in him to watch them turn their backs, didn’t know if there’d be anything left of him in their excessive wakes, scraped clean with their twin exits like the forsaken thing he was.

Summary
“You won’t find him here,” Chiyoh says with an idle sort of distaste.
“And why is that?”
She weighs her response. “I saw him go.”
He is going to find Will. In the pigpen, Hannibal had gained a remarkable sense of clarity, and he has decided that he needs Will as animals generally require oxygen. He, evidently, cannot survive their separation—or he at least refuses to.
A Digestivo AU in which Will decides it's high time to cut and run.

Summary
"I am a stranger to you.”
“Are we still strangers?” Will asked.
“I occasionally entertain the thought that we cannot claim to know any separate self,” Hannibal nodded at the space between them, “but I also confess that I only entertain this thought insomuch that I might endeavor to disprove it.”
“Well,” Will said, not without humor, nor without cruelty, “to separate selves.”
Will and Hannibal attempt to roleplay as strangers meeting at a bar.

Summary
"And what sort of story is Shizun's favorite?" Luo Binghe asks, not really caring about the answer. Luo Binghe's shizun is an air-headed man who hides his inanity behind his fan; surely, whatever it is that Shen Qingqiu deems to read in his free time, it must be something equally ridiculous and superficial. Probably romance, Luo Binghe thinks. Perhaps cultivation adventure stories where the hero always gets the girl and slays evil.
Shen Qingqiu flips his fan open to hide his face. "Revenge stories," he replies.
AU where Luo Binghe is raised by Tianlang-Jun. When Yue Qingyuan kills his father, Luo Binghe resolves to settle the score.

The road to destroying everything and everyone who has ever wronged him, to becoming the highest ruler so that no one will ever have the right to control him ever again - it will start as simply as ruining Gongyi Xiao’s life.
Compared to everything else he’s already done, this should be easy.
-
Luo Binghe brings all his skills of cunning and brutality to bear on Gongyi Xiao, Head Disciple of Huan Hua Palace Sect. It… doesn’t go too well for him.

Summary
There were three things of which Shen Yuan was absolutely certain.
The first, that Luo Binghe was an irredeemable jackass.
The second, there was a part of Luo Binghe, and Shen Yuan didn't know how large, that wanted Shen Yuan dead for trussing him like a pig and dumping him on his own front porch.
And the third, that Shen Yuan was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Luo Binghe.

Summary
After being turned away by the nice Shizun of that other world, Luo Binghe finds himself in the modern world where he can find a new nice Shizun for himself. Instead, he finds Shen Yuan, who could not possibly be who he's searching for - he's crass, and inelegant, and looks only vaguely related to Shen Qingqiu.
Luckily for both of them, Shen Yuan mistakes Luo Binghe as a cosplayer for hire, and asks to rent him out as his very normal new boyfriend.
