    Summary

    Kant’s baby brother, the kid Fadel watched leave not ten minutes ago, stands in the doorway. It must not be the first time he’s caught his sibling writhing on the ground with another man, because he has a split-second of embarrassed amusement before he truly takes the scene in, and blanches.

    Kant jolts. "Babe, get– "

    Fadel smashes the fucker’s face against the floor, a perfectly automatic gesture. "Get in, kid," He says. "Close the door behind you."

    Summary

    It's the 1920s in New York, and anything is possible. Prohibition is underway but the gin-joints are hopping, and in some of the more underground clubs it's safe to be yourself.

    Billy Lehnsherr, one of the heirs apparent to the Lehnsherr fortune, steps out to find some fun... and finds a lot more than he ever expected. For Teddy Altman, orphan, life has been one kick in the teeth after another. And when something good finally walks into his life, he knows it's only a matter of time before it's taken away again...

    Based on an image pack prompt from CrisArt. Updates Sundays.

    Summary

    When Mr. Charles Bingley rode into Hertfordshire to acquaint himself with Netherfield Park it was on a purely accidental recommendation. Bingley was the sort of open, easy young man whom people would not scruple to share their opinions with, and the solicitor who took it upon himself to advocate for Netherfield could certainly not be blamed for seeing a very desirable tenant in him. Bingley was at that time not yet of age two years and unmarried, but he had the sort of good-humoured and generous character that must recommend him to almost anybody.

    Summary

    “And he’ll really just go anywhere with you, leave his family and his inheritance behind? Do anything you say?”

    A moment’s hesitation. Then, “Yes,” Jiu said. “Tian would do anything for me.”

    Tian ached.

    “All right,” Ma said. “If all that is true, I can let the two of you go. I can even help your sister. But first, you’ll just have to prove it to me.”

    -

    Ma tells Jiu that he won't believe Tian's a cut-sleeve unless he sees the two of them have sex. Tian overhears, and has to decide what he's willing to do to protect Jiu, whether to stay or run away.

    Summary

    The first time Yang sees the snakes around Tian is the day after they went to the opera. He comes upon Tian dancing with a white cloth draped over his head. He has to be careful where he steps; the floor at his feet is covered with six bright green vipers, that curl and twist around him, swaying their heads to the sound of his humming.

    Or, the one where after Tian got bitten by a snake as a child, he developed magical snake powers.

    Summary

    He thinks of Ai Di, the brother, three years his junior, with a personality that blusters out ahead of him and gets him into scrapes.

    And then he thinks of this other Ai Di—mouth open beneath his, waistband clutched in his fist, throat flexing under his palm. Taunting him about love and sex every day, like some sort of demon. Making him jealous, making him worry.

    What is Ai Di to him? He doesn’t fucking know. He kind of hates him right now. And through it all, he loves him.

    Chen Yi has an eight year long crisis.

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    Even though the adults in their respective families are aggravating, Heart envies Li Ming for knowing so many gay people he can talk to. The internet and foreign movies aren't a substitute at all. He hardly has any contacts in his phone at all: relatives, Li Ming, some new friends from the church group for the deaf, and Jim.

     

    He doesn't think Jim likes him much. But he's not looking for friendship. Just answers. He showers and puts his pajamas on, and then sends a brief Can we talk? as he stretches out in bed.

    Summary

    All the while, sticky, humid days slowly turned to crisper, apple-gold evenings. Trees became the colour of fire, like a warning. Li Ming started taking one of Heart's sweaters with him to the restaurant, to wear home over his own sweater on the bus. Heart got back his first assignment in Mechanical Lab with full marks, and Li Ming kissed him as a reward, stuck it to their refrigerator with the cactus shaped magnets that came with their taco delivery indulgences, the only place local enough that could provide any kind of spice close to what they were used to. He posted a photo of it to social media for everyone back home to see with the caption 'my boyfriend is so smart'. Wen commented with a thumbs up and Uncle Jim with a well done despite the strange hour it currently was in Pattaya. Li Ming stared down at his phone, guilty over it. They'd kept in touch over LINE but he hadn't seen or heard either of them since taking Heart's hand and walking into security at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

    And then, fingers, tapping gentle on the side of his jaw. Heart's face tilted to one side, his big eyes and hands asking a question. "News from home?"

    Li Ming goes to America.
