Summary
Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.
Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

Summary
Ryland Grace had never liked being touched. It was gross, and intimate, and never on his terms.
It's ironic then, that it's only now that he's alone with no hope of ever touching a living thing again, that he wanted it.
He was really starting to hate irony. He'd like to get off this ride now.AKA an Aro/Ace Grace character study with a dash of Touch Starvation and becoming platonic life partners with your Alien best friend.

Summary
Keith told himself that he went to Castle of Lions Café for the obvious reason: it had the best coffee in town.
It definitely had nothing to do with the Incredibly Attractive Barista with rich brown skin and impossibly blue eyes currently standing opposite the counter from him.
Or so he told himself.

Summary
"Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.
And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.
Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."
When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.

Summary
The epitome of apathy, Craig Tucker has never been anything but nonchalant when it comes to his life and other related catastrophes. As long as he's not missing his favourite tv show or being hassled into another one of his classmates' ill-advised schemes, the boy truly doesn't care. Why should he? He's almost halfway through his Junior year at South Park High, which he's already figured out means he's only trapped there for another year and a half.
Yet, there's only so far flying under the radar can get you, and unless he can get his grades up before the end of the school year, he won't be graduating with the rest of his class.Luckily, there's a blonde-haired recluse who might be able to help him - in more ways than he'd hoped.

Summary
Hua Cheng crouches down in front of the jam selection and is lost in thought, until a soft touch against his thigh startles him. There’s a small, pudgy hand clutching at his pants.
“Hello?” Hua Cheng looks at the small, curly child and can’t suppress a smile.
“Noods.” The kid says, voice quiet but sure.
“Okay.” Hua Cheng lets out a laugh.
Or,
Xie Lian has three kids, two jobs and not a minute to spare.
Hua Cheng has no kids, lots of time and a crush.

“My A-die is not a liar.” The fists clenched into tight balls, the beet red face turned down to the floor. “But maybe you are, and you lied to him.”
Hua Cheng was about to scoff but then the child said the words that made him lose his shit for the rest of his life.
“Maybe you are the liar, father.”
---------
Hua Cheng is having a regular day at Ghost City when a young boy walks into the Den and asks for help to save his kidnapped father who is no other than the one Hua Cheng has been trying to find for centuries: Xie Lian.

Not only that, but Xie Lian is kidnapped and together they have to set on a journey to rescue him.

Summary
“San Lang…are you sure about this? Life on the road, storage units…it’s not glamorous. There’s junk and there’s gross fluids and roaches and raccoons and meth labs, and one time I got lead poisoning and- oh! Another time I accidentally got locked inside a unit with five families and loaded on a truck and then I think technically we were human trafficked-?”
“Gege. I’m in this, all the way.”
Scrap Collector’s cancellation is inevitable.
Once, Xie Lian was the most popular face in reality TV. After the...incident, Xie Lian is banished to 2am cable, and turns to making a different kind of show: storage hunting.
But in his final season, he suddenly acquires a new producer: a Youtube star named San Lang. And San Lang- along with his legion of fans- is determined to save the show.

Summary
Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Sorry, I need to catch up. You, Xie Lian, baked me cookies… because you want me to teach you how to kiss. Did I get that right?"
Xie Lian pursed his lips and nodded, looking a little dejected as he said, "I forgot I'm not very good at baking, either."
"I'm sure you're better than you think," Hua Cheng tilted his head in an adorable way, giving Xie Lian another glimpse of his crimson eye, "Next time, bring me some you made, okay?"
"Next time?" Xie Lian asked, confused.
"Well, it might take a few lessons," Hua Cheng pushed his door open a little wider and gestured inside, "Would you like to come in, gege?"
--
The one where Xie Lian thinks he's a bad kisser, so he requests the help of an old acquaintance to learn some new tricks.

Summary
Xie Lian has suspected for a while now that he might be Hua Cheng's beloved, but he can hardly just go and ask Hua Cheng if that's the case, right?
Instead, he books a cabin by a lake for Christmas, in the hopes that the cosy atmosphere will lead to some romantic confessions and his own happy ending.
- - - - -
"Gege, you're not watching."
The silly Christmas movie is still playing, but Xie Lian can’t hear it, too attuned to the heavy, steady breaths coming from Hua Cheng, the pink that dusts across his cheeks, and that look of sweet adoration mixed with a little terror in his eyes. He still hasn’t looked away, and Xie Lian feels like they’re on the edge of something beautiful and new.
And then the tension snaps.

Summary
In the center of it all is a man…
A man who is scrambling around a small convection oven on the counter, trying to scrape out the blackened remains of what Hua Cheng assumes were once cookies. He appears to be in his early thirties and, despite his frantic movements and creased expression, the first word that comes to Hua Cheng’s mind is: soft.
His hair, a beautiful, earthy chestnut brown color, is pulled back into a loose bun on the top of his head. A few strands hang free, framing his face. He wears cuffed jeans and a cream-colored turtle-neck sweater that swamps his frame and falls down to his thighs, giving him a cozy, shapeless figure.
or: Hua Cheng is a famous muralist who is losing his passion for art when he meets Xie Lian, single father to five-year old Guzi. Xie Lian is in the midst of opening a flower shop and Hua Cheng, instantly captivated by this man with warm eyes and a soft nature, offers to help.
