    Summary

    “What is Gege looking for in a spouse?” San Lang was clearly in a teasing mood. It was no use being flustered. Xie Lian’s only option was to play along.

    “They’d have to be kind.” He started thoughtfully. “And they couldn’t be too particular, I lead a pretty simple life and I can’t imagine that changing very much, even after I get married…. Oh! And they’d have to get along with my kids.”

    San Lang abruptly started coughing. “Gege has kids?” He choked out.

    Banyue and Pei Xiu find Xie Lian before he can leave them in the desert. All of a sudden, Xie Lian is a single father of two.

    Oh fuck I think this ruined me///

    The perfect Banyue arc au where Xie Lian, Pei Xiu, and Banyue never separated and actually exist as a family. BY is a savage level ghost and PX ascended to godhood and XL is their Baba 🥺 instead of the regular arc events they end up in The Lonely Canyon with the rest of the crew: a mirror maze world that requires them to have someone devoted to them in order to leave.

    It was so beautiful and had fantastic found family vibes 🩷

    Summary

    Mu Qing gets cursed to only tell the truth. Feng Xin learns some things. (So do hualian)
    -
    “A truth curse?” he repeats uncertainly. He’s never heard of anything like that before.
    “Mn. I can control what I say for the most part, but I can’t say anything that’s not the absolute truth.”
    Feng Xin considers this. “It could be worse.”
    Mu Qing’s head snaps up, and he fixes him with a glare. “It could be better. I could be not cursed at all.”

    Fantastic truth curse fic where Feng Xin encourages Mu Qing to confess his love at his own pace and not while under the effects of the curse--which is maybe one of my most favorite love confessions I've ever read.

    Summary

    It was a matter of convenience for both of them. Get both of their families off their backs about marriage, allow Xie Lian the freedom to be himself. They worked well together as friends and roommates. The fact that they were technically married was just incidental.

    Hua Cheng repeated these lies to himself often.

    Trans Xie Lian and Hua Cheng fake marry to get their parents off their backs... It turns out they actually have feelings for each other. Angst and miscommunication after they have sex but it gets resolved!

    Summary

    "I should have just walked over," Feng Xin continues, "spread your legs and tell you to touch yourself for me."

    That's such a lewd thought. It would have gotten Feng Xin slapped and probably stabbed too, but it's such a sexy thought to imagine.

    "Filthy," Mu Qing tells him.

    “But you like it.”

     

    Or, There is a stud watching Mu Qing from the bar, and Mu Qing hates that he is actually into it.

    Fantastic FengQing dynamic. Mu Qing is a wonderful balance of insecure and 'knows he's hot shit' - and Feng Xin is right to hold onto him now that he has him.

    Summary

    “Some delicate things want to be broken. If you want it, don’t hold back, reach out for it.”

    Beneath the table, Hua Cheng’s fists clench, unclench. The fine bones of Xie Lian’s hands are delicate, the narrow bridge of his nose is delicate, the sharp angle of his collarbone is delicate. Sometimes he is afraid he will break them all, like handling a bird. Sometimes he is afraid he wants to.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Beautifully executed theme work. I aspire to write something that reads as effortlessly as this does. Unparalleled depictions of yearning and intimacy. Not sure I've read a better characterization of either Hua Cheng or Xie Lian.

     

    “Some delicate things want to be broken. If you want it, don’t hold back, reach out for it.”
    *
    “You’re not half as dangerous as you think you are, San Lang.”
    "Aren't I?"
    "Not to me." - "Never to me."
    *
    "They kiss to crush delicate things between the two of them."
