Summary
The morning after her wedding to the Moon Prince, Maomao wakes to find her nightmare over. In fact, life ought to be nearly perfect: she has carte blanche permission as an apothecary, Joka at her side in the Rear Palace, a chance to experience firsthand the medical marvel that is pregnancy, something like a functional relationship with her family, and finally, impossibly, the Moon Prince, who has actually been her Jinshi this whole time.
No, she's not mad that he didn't explain it more clearly and left her thinking he was dead, thanks for asking. She's fine.
Now, if the threats on her life and strange happenings around the Rear Palace could just stop for a little bit, that would be great. It's really stressing her poor husband out and they don't need any ominous threats hanging over their heads, thanks.Featuring Married Jinshi and Maomao, Joka as everybody's Imperial Big Sister, Best Girl Dad Lakan, spy-in-training Xiaolan, spy-training-her (and new momma) Chue, and so much more!

Summary
Only Maomao could possibly be so literal about becoming a "Princess" from the Verdigris House. Joka finds out that her baby sister is getting married to one of the most powerful men in the Empire. Before she even had time to digest that information, the next sentence out of the Grand Commandant's mouth is to offer to change her life entirely.
As promised to readers of OF FATHERS AND FLOWERS, here's the strangest week of Joka's life, plus a little extra. I cannot promise this will make a lick of sense to anyone who hasn't read that fic first, but be my guest and let me know how it goes lol.

Summary
Maomao has a strange dream and wakes to a stranger reality.
But perhaps reality is not so strange at all.This is a oneshot that goes with my work OF FATHERS AND FLOWERS, but can be read as a stand alone. Just don't mind the note, which will not make as much sense.

Summary
Lakan has no earthly idea what possessed him to come to the garden party, but some star smiled upon him indeed. There is but one living face in the world for Lakan to see and, though she has grown greatly since last he saw her, there is no mistaking his daughter sitting behind the honored consort. It nearly breaks his heart just to see her: in formal garb she looks every inch her mother’s daughter, down to the cunning expression on her face. She looks into her bowl as her mother would look at a gaming table, seeing many moves into the future. So he is not surprised when she announces the meal is poisoned, for he was already out of his chair when she decided to drink it.
How would the story change if Lakan had attended the spring party and seen his daughter in the Rear Palace? How does his persistence change Maomao's view of herself, the world, and her place in it? A story in which Jinshi is not as subtle as he thinks he is, but that's okay because Maomao would rather drink poison than commit a single moment's self-reflection.

Summary
No matter what else changes, one thing remains true: a new Gabriel ad campaign will always stop Ladybug in her tracks. At some point it stopped being flattering, but Chat never thought he would confess how much that stings. I guess everyone has their breaking point.

Summary
An exploration of the butterfly effect. What might have been if Lakan had been in the series a little earlier? In which Maomao gets family therapy, Joka gets everything she's ever wanted, Jinshi gets a hell of a lot more than he bargained for, and Lakan and the Emperor get grandchildren. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
⋆───･:࿔*✧˖°˖☆˖°˖✧*࿔:･───⋆
Pouring the steamed milk with his practiced, signature spiral, Sanji steps up to the counter with the finished product. “One Lavender sedative for the Mosshead,” the witch prompts with a wink; Zoro snorting indignantly at the nickname.
Their hands brush in the transfer and the blond finds himself lingering on demonfolk’s fingers, the digits dark black, as if dipped in charcoal, and searingly warm to the touch.
If Zoro notices, he doesn’t mention it. The man instead glancing between the swirl in the coffee to the curl of the witch’s eyebrow before smirking, “Thanks Curly,” he says, tipping his chin up in a nod After a moment of lingering amusement, the demonfolk turns and heads to the far corner of the cafe.
Sanji watches him go with a frown, his fingertips tingling and a furious blush warming his ears.
What a bastard.

Summary
Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.
“Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”
