    Summary

    Lacking inspiration and tired of life in the city, Hua Cheng signs up for a rural farming initiative and goes to Puqi Farm with the expectation of nothing other than learning about tending sheep and growing potatoes.

    He'd never expected to find love in the eccentric farmer he's staying with. When the summer starts fading into autumn, he questions whether he has the strength to leave the paradise he's found.

    Summary

    “We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    Summary

    It has been millennia since Xie Lian’s second banishment.

    Millennia since Hua Cheng—the scourge of Heaven, the Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the Supreme Ghost King—slaughtered 33 gods and turned his demonic gaze on the banished Flower Crowned Martial God.

    Xie Lian has eluded the Ghost King at every turn. For centuries. Hiding is all he knows. He’s gotten very good at hiding.

    Summary

    “How old are you, Astarion?”

    Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.

    “Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”

    Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”

    Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.

    “Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.

    -

    Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

    Summary

    “You're awake.”

    Wu Ming nodded and reached for the sword at his waist, beginning to draw it even as he lunged toward the nearest of his god's attackers only to be brought up short as Xie Lian flung out one arm to block the ghost’s path.

    “No, stay back.”

    It was only a moment, only an instant of shifted attention, but in a fight against a dozen even that was enough to allow one of the men inside his highness's guard.

     

    OR Wu Ming wakes to find his god under attack and no memory of how they got there.

He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship.

    Summary

    It’s 2:47 AM. Kaoru’s already been asleep for a couple of hours. Like, dead asleep. So, when he suddenly inhales a loud breath, bolts upright, and starts muttering incoherently, Kojiro actually startles awake.

    “Hey, what’s up, what’s wrong-” Kojiro slurs out, rubbing his eyes as he sits up to check on his husband.

    Kaoru looks at him, or at least he tries. One eye is shut tight, the other is squinted, just barely open. Clearly, he’s still half asleep.

    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

    Summary

    The first prayers are hazy, fragmented things. They’re wordless, made only of emotion and impression—a flash of longing, the burden of grief, an overwhelming scent of blood. They lurk in the corners of his mind at all times, but they don’t feel like they belong to him. They feel other.

    Xie Lian thinks he’s going crazy.

    Hua Cheng prays for centuries as he searches for his god. His god hears.

    Summary

    Xie Lian isn’t particularly worried about the progress of his relationship with Hua Cheng. After all, Hua Cheng seems to be fine with just kissing and hugging for now; wouldn't it be weird to ask for something else? Maybe one day they’d do more, when Xie Lian is ready. He wants to be ready.

    Then, Xie Lian has a nightmare.

    Summary

    “I’m not sad,” lied Hua Cheng.

    Xie Lian raised his eyebrows and gave a small smile.

    “Ah, San Lang. I thought you would have learned by now. I may be a fool, but it’s not easy to fool me.”

    Upon Hua Cheng's return, he wanted only Xie Lian, and peace. But something is threatening every ghost in his Realm, and dealing with the Council of Savages is still infinitely easier to handle than talking. Because Xie Lian is maddeningly patient. And curious.

    About exactly what Hua Cheng has been doing for the last 800 years.

    Summary

    Hawke's gang of disaster bis are making a night of it at The Hanged Man. Anders is in high spirits as class clown and Fenris can't help but notice how much he's making Hawke laugh. Worried he can't do the same for his new lover, he reluctantly asks Anders to teach him how to be funny. But what started as casual nonsense becomes a much deeper conversation about where they belong in Hawke's life. And each other's.

    [CW: Light reference to Fenris' trauma and fantasy-version of chronic pain. People are drunk, but everyone behaves nicely to each other. Some adult humour.]

    *Dips toe in new fandom* Hi! I wish I lived at The Hanged Man too.

    What’s worse than living with your former best friend who is also your ex-boyfriend? Living with your former best friend who is also your ex-boyfriend, whom you have been in love with since the age of five and possibly had never fallen out of love with.

    Also, now he’s extremely, unbearably, intolerably hot.

    Kaoru could ignore him. Instead, he offers to fake date him.

    Summary

    It's been over five hundred years since Adrian Tepes last saw Trevor Belmont or Sypha Belnades, but he'd never forget their faces. So when they turn up in his life again without explanation or any memory of their past selves, it looks at first as though he's somehow been given a second chance at happiness.

    But not all is well. Fell creatures walk the earth, monsters stirring that haven't been seen since Dracula's great war on humanity. People are going missing, and Adrian has been hearing curious whispers from the part of the world that used to be Wallachia. So as he grows closer to his long-lost partners, he can't help but wonder if what brings them to him is a blessing, or a curse.

    Summary

    Kojiro has been wearing shirts at all times for eight consecutive days. Kaoru finds this terribly suspicious. Kojiro is hardly shy by nature; years of dedication at the gym have resulted in a body sculpted by some mad genius admirer of the male human form, and Kojiro likes to show it off. He dresses appropriately at work, but that's about it. When they skate, he's shirtless more often than not, and even when they're just hanging out, somehow, he always finds a way to display his torso, which is, objectively, an extremely fine example of a torso.

    And it's not that Kaoru misses seeing it, exactly, but...he just wants to be sure that his best friend is okay, mentally, and not in the early stages of some weird gorilla breakdown.

    🍵🌸

    In which Kojiro gets his nipples pierced.
