    Summary

    Shang Qinghua let out a long, shaky breath. “Right. Okay. Sure. No problem. I can work with that. That’s fine.” He shifted the baby in his arms, looking down at the tiny, squirming face, the damp lashes clinging together. “You hear that? As long as you make it to the sect, everything’s good. Easy quest conditions. No trauma required.”

    Luo Binghe made a faint snuffling sound, unimpressed.

    Shang Qinghua’s smile collapsed almost instantly. “Oh, gods, what am I saying?” He scrubbed a hand over his face, leaving another smear of drying blood. “I’m not qualified for this! I can barely keep myself alive half the time! You need—uh—you need a responsible, kindhearted woman from a humble background with good soup-making skills, not a chronically overworked peak lord-slash-spy!”

    The baby responded by making a small, gurgling noise that sounded alarmingly like agreement.

    “Don’t sass me,” Shang Qinghua muttered. “You’re, like, twelve minutes old.”

    Just another fic where Shang Qinghua ruins canon and gains a son.

    Summary

    Daella stared at her reflection in the still waters of the riverbank, memories of the girl she was flickering before her eyes.

    Her grey eyes were once the colour of steel but now they were a grey so dark they almost seemed black. She once had a brother with eyes like these. A brother who lived and died for her. He tore her from the edge of nothingness, the sound of his name alone bringing her back across the Narrow Sea to where she belonged. To where the grey-eyed girl with the long face of her father belonged.

    But she was not that girl anymore. And yet she was.

    Summary

    “Baekjin,” he warned but of course, Baekjin was a stubborn fucker since the beginning. It wasn’t something that would change about him.

    “Do you think I’m too easy?” Seongje asked.

    “No, I just think you’re too soft on me,” Baekjin whispered.

    Or

    Baekje kitchen sex.

    Summary

    “Huaisang,” Nie Mingjue bit out.
    “Er-gongzi,” Nie Huaisang corrected, not because his da ge would ever call him that but because he had a point to make. “You cannot -”
    You can and will,” Nie Mingjue said, low and fierce. “Where is your saber?”

    or: Nie Huaisang, and Meng Yao, and a funeral. A love letter to Nie Huaisang's character arc.
