even if the world turns against you until the very end we’ll be together by xuminghaos (requiescats)

Summary
Minghao swallows firmly and digs his fingers into the dirt. “But you don't want to be.”
“Why not?”
How does Minghao explain it? The rejection, the isolation, the side-eyed stares, poorly-hidden whispers, those looks? Mingyu would never be able to understand what a lifetime of never being invited to play with the other kids was like. Minghao hopes so, anyway.
“People don’t like you if you’re magic,” Minghao mumbles, knees drawn to his chest, stare fixed firmly at a stick on the ground. The temperature drops quickly, sharply enough to make Mingyu shiver a little from the corner of Minghao’s eye. Minghao flinches.
“Well, I like you,” Mingyu retorts.
An outcast from his village for the unexplainable phenomena he causes, Minghao finds a real home in the nature elementals and spirits in the forest—and the strangely polished boy who stumbles into his forest one day.

i met you in my dream (too real to call it magic) by xuminghaos (requiescats)

Summary
The world he finds himself in is vividly colored and realistic, save for the too-small wooden doors haphazardly placed onto the teal wallpaper in the hall.
He takes an experimental step forward, dress shoes clacking against the tile floor, the color and pattern a seamless continuation of the walls, approaching the hotel front desk awaiting him at the end of the hall.
Two elevator doors rest on either side of the desk, behind which sits a wooden frame of keys hanging neatly. The clock centered above them ticks, but the hands don’t move.
Minghao looks at the paper politely propped up on the desk.
Welcome to the Dream Hotel
Please ring bell for serviceMinghao meets the man of his dreams in—well, a dream that they both seem to share.

Summary
The end of the world comes quietly. Shockingly so.
"What did you think it would be like?" Junhui asks from Shenzhen.
"A lot more chaos. People trying to get home to their families and no one managing to because everyone is too."
"Isn't this less sad, then? Because at least we're making the choice to stay."
Choices.
Mingyu didn't choose him. Minghao is okay with that. He's had no other choice.
What it's like to love at the end of the world.

Summary
“I do,” Minghao promises. Quietly, fiercely. He lets go of Mingyu’s arm only to cup his cheek, fingers pressing into the give of flesh. “I do understand. I always understand you.”
Mingyu’s gaze melts into something soft, his entire body going limp in Minghao’s arms.
“Thank you,” Mingyu says quietly.
He sees it too. Don’t worry. I know nobody else understands, but I do. I always do.
“You know I’ll always be here for you—” With you. “right?”
Mingyu smiles and puts his hand over Minghao’s tenderly.
“I do. I know you will.”
Minghao understands. Mingyu understands.
Minghao’s fingers dig a little deeper into Mingyu’s skin.
Yes, we were made for each other.
How Minghao learns to love.

Summary
“Would you like to help me?” Minghao asks, grinning. Mingyu blinks, swallows. He braces himself.
“I…don’t know how to handle most of these plants. I’ve never seen them before.” He clenches his fists and bows his head, staring down at the carved stone beneath his feet, preparing to be scolded or worse. He squeezes his eyes shut. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Mingyu can sense Minghao getting closer and he grits his teeth—
A gentle hand ruffles the hair between Mingyu’s ears. Mingyu opens his eyes hesitantly, confused. Minghao bends down so he can look at Mingyu from below and smiles.
“We’re doing this together. I’ll teach you, okay?”
In between lavender pancakes, plant magic, and tender patience, an abandoned gumiho learns what it’s like not to be a servant, but a companion, an equal.

Summary
Do you want to have a nifty way to have multiple languages in a fic:
- Without making your readers scroll to the AN for a translation?
- Without the text and translation sitting side by side?
- And still make it look pretty when people download it into an EPUB or PDF format?
- Making it work with screenreaders? (Subject to varying screenreader capabilities)
Here is a solution for you. Come on babygirls, let's roll.
(This is a HTML tutorial but I'm lowkey flirting with you by calling you babygirl occasionally because I got bored while writing this.)
NEW UPDATE [20/3/2026]:
- Chapter 1: Sample Usage (Excerpt from a WIP in my drafts)
- A short character study about Griffin Harley from Babel (by R.F. Kuang). Utilizies 3 languages in multiple formats. You don't need to have read Babel to pick apart the code used.
- Chapter 2: Basic Tutorial (same as before)
- Chapter 3: FAQ (regarding customization and usage)

I Kissed a Frog and All I Got Was This Lousy (Hot) Boyfriend by elkberry

Summary
“Sorry,” he finds himself saying, “I’m not really attracted to animals.”
The frog looks put off by this.
“If I had to choose a frog, it’d be you,” Hao says sympathetically. “Which I guess you must know, since I did have to choose a frog, and it’s you. Actually, uh, do you know if this counts as animal abuse? It’s just I’ve never gotten to have a pet of my own, and I was kind of hoping I’d never end up on a registry ‘cause I’d like a dog, someday.” He thinks for a moment. “…Are there registries for that kind of thing? There are, right? There should be.”
Blink, blink.
“Anyway, I should get this on with, right? The sooner it happens the sooner it’s over.”
So, on the floor of the science building—thanks to the most incredible and cutthroat game of truth or dare Hao has ever, ever played—he purses his lips to kiss a frog.
Zhang Hao's night starts with kissing a frog, and ends with a pretty boy in his bed.

Summary
A gust of wind blows past, sending ripples through the grass around them. Zhang Hao stands up and looks at Hanbin.
It’s overwhelming to see Hanbin’s history displayed before him like this, generations laying in quiet beneath their feet. Zhang Hao thinks about his own ancestral line—the remains that lay scattered across provincial China in graves and columbariums. It feels weighty to be present here with Hanbin, more intimate than anything else they’ve ever done.
(or: hanbin brings zhang hao home for chuseok)

Summary
At twenty-three, Sung Hanbin and Zhang Hao made a promise:
“Hanbinnie,” Zhang Hao half-whispers, eyes fixed on him. “If we’re both single at thirty… let’s get married.”
Now, seven years later, an ocean of distance between them, Zhang Hao thinks Hanbin has forgotten.
That is, until gets a text—a selfie. Hanbin on his knees, wearing cat ears and a tail, holding a balloon with the number 30, along with words Zhang Hao never thought he’d read:
You’re thirty, hyung. And I’m thirty. We’re both single. Aren’t we supposed to get married?

Summary
Zhang Hao falls ill with food poisoning, and Hanbin stops at nothing to ensure his comfort—from sneaking out to get Hao a drink to holding him close through the night. In these tender moments, in the night, their love for each other shines brightest.
Or I’m a little crazy about Hanbin getting Pocari Sweat for Hao and then Hao getting giggly about it on his live
