Summary
"What wish did you make?" Xia Zhiguang asks him afterwards, as they're tucked up against each other backstage.
He's hoping for – something wild and idealistic, probably. Something that would fit the moment, Xiao Zhan's red-rimmed eyes bright with unshed tears and all those eager faces screaming their names.
"You don't want me to answer that," Xiao Zhan says. For all his coddling, he's never lied to Xia Zhiguang. He'd rather be honest to the point of brutality.
Xia Zhiguang stumbles into the idol industry when he's fifteen. It takes him a while to find his way.

Summary
His heart is a deep lake that barely ever ripples beneath the surface, no matter the size of the disturbance. The last one had been the loss of his wife, a calamity that also brought the blessing of his son. And then little else after that, until he saw Song Yuzhang for the first time in that hospital, a single glance that brought his world to a standstill.
Until now, he'd thought that a blessing too.
Song Yuzhang comes clean. Nie Xueping deals with the fallout.

Summary
"Come and stay," Leo says, a few days before the final.
He hadn't asked before. Leo's not the kind of person who asks for a lot, and usually he doesn't have to open his mouth, not with Sergio.
Before, it wouldn't even have been a question. Sergio Aguero was Leo Messi's roommate, wherever they went. It was his rightful place. Now -
A thwarted reunion, a broken heart, and finally - somehow - a fairytale ending.

Summary
A timely gust blew Xiao Zhan's veil aside, just long enough for Yibo to catch what might've been the shadow of a smile. Just that was enough to freeze him in place for the space of a breath.
He could've slapped himself for the lapse.
Once, he'd hoarded those smiles like a bandit with his treasure. But he was no longer that carefree child, and the man standing before him was no longer his precious Zhan-gege. Why would Xiao Zhan smile at his mortal enemy, who had broken the peace and brought so much turmoil to the realm and suffering to his people?
An out of favour prince is sent to negotiate peace with the notorious rebel general Wang Yibo, and nothing is quite what it seems.
Some debts can only be paid in affection. Others, only in blood.

卷珠帘 | The Woman Behind the Curtain by stickmarionette for Trobadora

Summary
It's been a long time since she's been served by someone so determinedly proper, almost chaste. She finds an unseemingly thrill in flustering him, in his helpless physical response to her provocation. And why not? She has so few that don't involve potential mortal peril. Nothing blameworthy in a harmless flirtation.
Or so she thinks, until he betrays her.
For the daughter of an Empress, granddaughter of a general, the one who holds the entire realm in her hand, to be bitten by her own guard dog - preposterous.

everybody wants to rule the world by stickmarionette
Fandom: Football RPF, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
28 Feb 2017
Summary
In which Philipp Lahm is the perfect Slytherin, Pep Guardiola is intense and vaguely tragic, La Masia is a magical school and Johan Cruyff is a passionate madman.
This is an AU only in that we're in the Harry Potter 'verse. Everything else is more or less the same.
