    Summary

    Is there such a thing as a third chance in Hollywood? Xie Lian has never expected one, not after the career-ending mistakes he’s made. He’s burnt bridges with nearly all of his former friends in the industry. He’s single-handedly ruined a movie. He’s lost everything. The most he can hope for is that his infamy will fade quickly to obscurity.

    Instead, he’s been handed the leading role in Director Jun Wu’s newest film.

    He expects the worst of it; the increased scrutiny, difficult encounters with former friends, coming face to face with the ghosts of his past. What he doesn’t expect is to meet the one true fan he has left in Los Angeles.

    Summary

    “You don’t think that’s going to look suspicious?" He Xuan snorted. "The same day he blocks you on the last app you have to stalk him with, your roommate wants to be his Instagram buddy? The guy broke up with you because you’re creepy, don’t-”

    He stopped abruptly. Hua Cheng had grabbed the back of his chair and swivelled him around.

    “He did not,” Hua Cheng said, slowly, “call me creepy.”

    ‘Codependent’ was the word he’d used. Hua Cheng hadn’t even known what the fuck that’d meant.

    -

    Or: Xie Lian has broken up with Hua Cheng for being codependent. Hua Cheng is determined to show him he's not, even if he has to stalk every one of Xie Lian's friends to prove it. Somehow he accidentally stumbles upon some personal growth and self-esteem along the way.

    Summary

    “Alright.” Hua Cheng said, rolling his shoulders back a few times. “Oh magnificent god of mine, Taizi Dianxia,” he said, grinning, eyes firmly locked on Xie Lian’s. Xie Lian made a show of rolling his eyes. “Grant me your strength so I might vanquish your enemies on this mortal plane.”

    Sorcery grad student Hua Cheng accidentally summons long-forgotten god Xie Lian into his dorm room in the middle of the night. They figure things out from there.

    Summary

    “Guys,” Pei Ming announced. "I have an idea."

    "The fuck? That sounds so fucking dumb," Feng Xin furrowed his brows. "I'm in."

    “WHAT?!” Mu Qing shrieked and looked at Xie Lian, his last hope, “Stop them from doing something idiotic!”

    Xie Lian scratched his cheek, “Ah, well… I’m actually interested in it too.”

    His last hope was a failure and all Mu Qing did was groan very loudly, “Oh my god. I’m surrounded by idiots.”

    Or. The gang wanted to try what it's like to summon a demon. Due to Xie Lian's luck (or lack thereof), he managed to summon the demon king.... in his living room.

    ....and they became roommates...?

    Summary

    ————
    Hua Cheng looked so… familiar. Xie Lian couldn’t quite put his finger on it, didn’t know if it was the silky black hair or the kind auburn eye or the soft, gentle smile. Perhaps it was the younger man’s voice that sparked Xie Lian’s memory— the low, soft timber of it, the way it rumbled in his chest when he laughed. It certainly had Xie Lian feeling something.
    Oh, gods.
    This year wasn’t going to be as uneventful as Xie Lian had hoped, it seemed.
    ————
    Xie Lian was ready for college.
    Well, he had said that the last four years of college, too, but he had high hopes for senior year. After not doing so well in pre-med, or even high school… or middle school, either, for that matter— he was determined to get something right. He wasn’t going to let anything distract him this time.
    Or, that was his plan, until he met his roommate for this semester: fine arts major Hua Cheng. Charming, distracting, and somewhat familiar, Hua Cheng manages to throw a wrench in Xie Lian’s plans for perfection.
    And the more time that passes, the more their relationship develops into something a lot more serious than just roommates.

    Summary

    Mu Qing and Feng Xin watched their dearest friend become a shattered version of himself. They watched as the pieces scattered across the floor and the desperate attempt to tape himself back together. They watched as he shed the toxic air shrouding his shoulders and forced filtered sunlight to light up his smile once more.
    They suffered, and cried, and died.
    Their smiles are trophies - proof of their healing pain.

    They will be damned if anyone breaks their friend again.

    Through the sweet melodies of their new lives, love finds them like a blanket - warm and inviting.

    And Mu Qing wonders if it would kill his friends to be on time to class at least once.

    Summary

    As a heads up… I WROTE THIS BEFORE I READ THE BOOKS.. I wanna rewrite this to make it more cannon.. but BE FR it’s not happening. So enjoy my PRE-KNOWLEDGED work 😭

    This is a Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing) modern-day univeristy au.
    There are many references to other fandoms, such as Sk8 the Infinity where I use the buildings and characters and I also use reference to music by Lovejoy, James Marriott, and other iconic artists.

    There is a lot of angst and fluff in this fan fiction, and occasional smut.

    A lot of chapters will occur chronologically at the same time as I love to do perspectives, so keep that in mind.

    All trigger warnings will be at the start of each chapter.

    I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar.

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.

    “You’re ridiculous.”
    “You’ve dated worse.”
    “San Lang! That’s rude!”
    “That’s true,” Hua Cheng parries mercilessly. “I haven’t even finished the retrospective of all the trash you’ve collected—would you like me to go on?”

    aka Xie Lian hasn't had any luck in his relationships, but he has a goal in mind, and won't be deterred. That is, until Hua Cheng snaps.

    «Why is the camera quality so bad? Can you even see?»

    «But I buy groceries, even all of your favorite snacks, and cook for both of you. You two would survive solely off takeout food if it wasn’t for me.»

    Summary

    In the next moment, Seungkwan saw him—the real him.

    Dark, shimmery, translucent wings unfurled from the other man’s back and his aura rippled and cracked his illusion. The fog over Seungkwan’s eyes was gone and nausea churned in his stomach. It was clear now. Those eyes were the same ones he had seen countless times across the room: the watchful, piercing eyes of the Dark Fae Prince. Vernon.

    And Vernon was staring wide-eyed at Seungkwan, both of their glamours disintegrated into thin air revealing their true forms. Here stood the named princes of two opposing Fae Courts, only one of them had renounced his title and ran far away not wanting to be found. Here Seungkwan was found and his perfect, peaceful bubble he created for himself in this bakery was about to pop. But it wasn’t he who spoke first in terror.

    “Hi, I’m looking for a movie. Your manager said it should be in today.”

    “What’s the movie?”

    “The Lord of the Rings.”

    Hansol rolls his eyes and nods, hitting the blue formica countertop with the flat of his palm in an odd little move. “Ohhhhhhh, it’s you.”

    Seungkwan blinks. “Excuse me?”

    [Or: Hansol’s a cinephile working at Blockbuster. Seungkwan needs to rent this stupid Lords of the Ring movie. It’s 2002.]

    Summary

    Minho rubbed Jisung's thigh with one hand and reached for the condom with the other. “How do you like it?”

    Jisung shrugged. “I’ve never done this before.”

    “Wait.” Minho yanked back. “What?”

    “I’ve never done this before,” Jisung repeated.

    “Like, with a guy?”

    Jisung shook his head. “With anybody.”

    Minho groaned. He started crawling off the bed.

    “I am not taking your virginity right now.”

    The guy who refuses to have sex with Jisung because he's a virgin turns out to be inextricably connected to his friend group. Awesome.

    Summary

    Chan paused and Seungkwan waited. “I’ll always be here, so come to me. I’ll help you figure it out.”

    “What if you’re not here with me?” Seungkwan's voice was barely above a whisper. Hoarse.

    Chan didn’t pause, “Where else would I be if not with you?”

    Seungkwan opened his eyes and Chan saw light fall from them, direct and harsh and warm. “How can you be so sure?”

    “I only know how to be with you.” ‘I only know how to love you.’

    “What if…what if I’m not with you?” Seungkwan’s voice cracked.

    “I’ll still be here.” A promise.
