    Summary

    Time waits for no one but the one who understands what it means to abide.

    To bring Zhao Yuanzhou back, Zhuo Yichen broke something integral—the divine heavenly laws themself.

    Faced with a chasm of centuries and distance between them, Zhao Yuanzhou must reconcile the choices he'd forced Zhuo Yichen to make, and learn how to understand his own damn heart.

    Or in which, a stubborn and lovelorn Zhuo Yichen just can't seem to get rid of an equally stubborn Zhao Yuanzhou, who has come to settle their debts—and set things right.

    Summary

    After thousands of years, Tianqi finally found Yuemi again. After all these years of guilt and regret, he doesn't know how to tell her how he feels about her now. She had confessed to him before she died and he had told her he couldn't return her feelings - how would he be able to explain now that these years without her were the loneliest, the saddest, of his entire life... that he realized he did love her when it was too late? Who could have predicted he'd ever find her again...

    [Warning: While this only has implied sex, the scene in itself is physically and emotionally intimate nevertheless. If you don't like reading such things, I wouldn't recommend.]

    Summary

    The previous night, Feng Xin had asked for his help picking an outfit for some unspecified event. Mu Qing was confused by the request because Feng Xin had never asked him for fashion advice before. Actually, Mu Qing is pretty sure he’s never seen the man wear anything but sweatpants and hoodies, and he’s not sure how well those can be styled. Curiosity got the better of him and he agreed to help. He regretted it almost immediately when he saw what kind of clothes he was choosing from. It was all formal, dress wear.

    His heart lurched realizing Feng Xin was undoubtedly asking him for help picking an outfit for a date. When had Feng Xin planned on dating? In all the years he’s known Fen Xin, he’s never once seen him go out on a date. Feng Xin can barely be in the same room with a woman. There’s no way he’d be able to have a relationship with one. He knows Feng Xin has only dated one girl and that was when he wasn’t around to see it.

    ;or Mu Qing thinks Feng Xin went on a date and goes absolutely insane, resulting in several arguments, a broken bone, many tears, and a marriage proposal.

    Summary

    Mu Qing and Feng Xin’s friendship has always been complicated, but they aren't at each other's throats like they used to be. In fact, they are now willingly living together, just the two of them, in a two bedroom apartment in Xianle. It's only been six months, but they haven't killed each other yet— they actually have a routine down!

    But Feng Xin is on a 2-week trip for work and their routine has disappeared with him.

    Fourteen days isn't that long. They’ve gone much longer without seeing each other. So then why does Mu Qing feel like this? Like he's missing something?

    Ah, surely it's nothing... right?

    Summary

    "From what we have gathered, he has taken residence at Ghost City."

    "What?" Mu Qing raises an eyebrow.

    "He has started living with… with that ghost woman, Jian Lan. And their son."

    "I heard from one of General Pei Ming's officials," the second deputy adds, "that they have gotten engaged."

    Mu Qing looks at them, bewildered. He blinks. "You are saying," he speaks slowly, "that General Nan Yang is engaged, and to be married. And living with the mother of his son. At Ghost City."

     

    ~~~

    Due to a misunderstanding, Mu Qing believes that Feng Xin is engaged to Jian Lan. Which is unfortunate, because he is just beginning to understand his feelings for him.

    Summary

    “I’ll ask you again,” Feng Xin said slowly. His hand found its way into his ponytail again, winding it around his fingers. “How bad do you want to fuck me, Mu Qing? I won’t let you unless you tell me.”

    Mu Qing hadn't expected to start making out with his endlessly frustrating roommate at Hua Cheng's party. But when it came to Feng Xin, he was always receiving the unexpected. Besides, it had only been a matter of time before they both gave in.

    Summary

    Faced with spiraling finances after quitting his job as a celebrity assistant, Mu Qing is stuck. His brutal schedule as an EMT doesn't leave much room for a second job—unless he can find one that isn't too physically demanding and allows for a varied schedule. Shi Qingxuan has an idea.

    >But you should know, you look amazing!

    “…Thanks,” Mu Qing deadpans. “I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think I was attractive,” he can’t help but add. Before the agonizing exchange can go on any longer, another person joins the stream. Their message seems a bit more aligned with what Mu Qing had been expecting.

    >hey baby

    “Not your baby,” Mu Qing says before he can stop himself. The viewer promptly exits the stream, but not before they leave a sweet parting message: bitch.

    Summary

    They don’t kiss, and they don’t talk about it.

    It’s been eight hundred years of this, but Feng Xin supposes one can get used to anything.

    Five times Feng Xin and Mu Qing fucked, and one time it was something more. (Or: Feng Xin wants to fuck him so bad it makes him look stupid.)

    Summary

    The silence stretches on, a thread pulled into fraying with its fibers scarcely clinging together. If Mu Qing listens carefully, he can almost hear the stretch as those fibers scream in agony, wishing only to be torn completely.
    Free from its torment, the pitiful existence it has been reduced to.
    Free from its memories of what once was, of decayed potential futures.
    A frayed thread aching to be severed, knowing that the strands it has lost will never return, and it will never go back to how it once was— vibrant, strong…
    Intact.
    Mu Qing didn’t realize… didn’t see how bad it had become. Preoccupied with the mess of fibers left behind for him to clean up, he didn’t think to look at the thread that shed them and how little of it was left.
    He stands frozen in space, remembering the vitality of the thread as it once was, blind to how it had already lost its strength.
    Minutely, Feng Xin’s back begins to tremble. His shoulders shudder in broken, fractured remnants of breath. What remains of the thread— Mu Qing witnesses the snap with a soft, shaken sob.
    “Mu Qing,” Feng Xin’s voice trembles, hushed, “Just… kick me out. Let me freeze to death.”

    Summary

    It’s been years, probably a decade, even, since Mu Qing has played these shitty highschool party games. Seven Minutes in Heaven was never his favorite. He always got matched up with women, or homophobic dude-bros as a rude prank. Perhaps there’s a joke in there—something about being trapped in the closet with a homophobe, but Mu Qing’s too tired to think of it.

    Summary

    The paper’s in Jiang Wanyin’s hand—those aren’t some boring reports about rain or boats or whatever it was Jiang Wanyin was talking about earlier.
    Nie Huaisang never read those, after all, and he definitely recognizes these papers.
    Oh no.
    “Huaisang! What is this?”
    Nie Huaisang closes his eyes as his brief, too-short life flashes before them. “I really should’ve traveled more. Seen more birds.”
    “What?”
    “Ah, nothing! I didn’t say anything. Jiang-zongzhu, don’t read those—”
    ‘Jiang Wanyin grabs your waist with his powerful hands the musky smell of man washing over you as he holds you close, purple orbs filling with tears—’ What the fuck, Huaisang?”
    “It’s nothing! I don’t know! It’s not—!
    “It’s terrible!”

    “Mu Qing,” Feng Xin says. “Do you have somewhere to stay tonight?”

    He still doesn’t get an answer, but that tells him everything he needs to know.

    Damn it.

    This fucker—he’s been ruining Feng Xin’s day for hours now, with his rudeness and his rolling eyes, his smug commentary, his dismissive attitude. But it’s not like Feng Xin wants him to have to spend a night outside in the snow—Xie Lian would kill him if he found out, for one thing.

    Feng Xin is just trying to make it home for New Year’s. Mu Qing is making everything worse.

    Summary

    It’s chilly enough outside the bar that Mu Qing regrets not wearing a jacket; he folds his arms in front of his chest as he stands close to Feng Xin, leaning over his phone’s screen as he pulls up the ride sharing app. He’s close enough to see the fine stitching on the lapel of Feng Xin’s jacket, and close enough to catch the faint trace of a floral cologne clinging to him.

    Feng Xin hesitates with the app open rather than typing a destination address.

    “If you want,” he says after a second, “you could come back to my place.”

    -

    Mu Qing is starting a new job, and takes his mind off the stress via a one night stand with a handsome man he meets at a bar. He doesn't expect to meet him again at work the next day.
