    Summary

    “Your highness! Get behind us!” The words, the first ones he spoken to his former prince in 800 years, are out of Feng Xin’s mouth before he can give them a second thought, all his earlier awkwardness burning away in the face of the current danger.

    “That's not a very good idea.” The voice is mild, mocking, and far too fucking confident and Feng Xin knows even before his eyes return to the doorway that it will no longer be filled with void alone.

    Crimson Rain Sought Flower has come to the heavens.

     

    OR When Xie Lian ascends for the third time HuaLian are already married and Hua Cheng comes charging up to the heavens to get his husband back

    Summary

    Releasing a shaky breath, he brings Wu Ming into his arms once more. Is this real? What is going on? He clearly just saw Wu Ming being consumed by... It couldn't have been a nightmare, right? It felt so real. It must've been real.

    Suddenly, the weight of everything that's happened in the last few days is starting to overwhelm him. He almost became a Calamity, he almost destroyed a whole kingdom, like the one he had sworn to protect... He almost had his last believer killed.

     

    Or: Xie Lian and Wu Ming wake up at an inn with no memories of how they got there, when just a moment ago, they were facing Bai Wuxiang at Lang-er Bay...

    Summary

    Maybe it was luck.

    Maybe it was destiny.

    Maybe it was just cruel irony.

    He smiled through tears of bitterness and pride. So proud of his Wu Ming, but so bitter about losing him to the heavens.

    “I will be his most devoted believer, as he is mine. If he will be my god, I will be his ghost king.”

    Or: What if Wu Ming was unable to jump back to Mount Tonglu after ascending, and now it is Xie Lian who must become the ghost king, to meet with his husband?

    Summary

    The sound which leaves Hua Cheng’s lips this time isn't nearly feral, it /is/ feral, the fury of a wild beast confronted with a mortal foe. Before he can lift so much as a hand to stop him Hua Cheng jerks away from Xie Lian and lunges for Fang Xin, snatching it from the floor and raising it high above his head. The god feels the sudden gathering of Hua Cheng’s power, his spiritual energy as a ghost king, already some of the most powerful in the three realms, now augmented by whatever strange energy is flowing through him.

    OR When Mount Tonglu opens Hua Cheng losses control of his anger too and tries to kill everyone who's ever hurt Xie Lian

    Summary

    A newly formed wrath’s hands shake as they hover over a bloodied altar. He takes a breath he no longer needs and steadies himself. His god deserves one’s steady and firm care, now more than ever.

    After he’d been ripped apart and broken down, at the command of a monster, and at the hands of the unworthy trash. Yet he, gracious and kind as ever, desperately tried to save them still.

    It’s a horrifying scene, if an outsider were to stumble upon the scene he’d think the ghost was the only human thing left there, the rest charred to ash and his god…

    To the ghost the next few moments are a blur. Somehow his god, what's left of him, was now resting on the charred floor (anything’s better than that altar right?).

    Dark blood still sluggishly leaves his body, slower now but still there’s too much blood and entrails exposed for the ghost to feel comfortable wandering too far, despite the pull of his body trying to lead him astray.

     

    Or

     

    What if Wu Ming was brave enough to care for a recovering Xie Lian’s after the 100 swords incident?

    Summary

    It was simply beautiful.

    The smooth lines, the sweet candor of the marble, the careful etching of the details, the slope of every curve on the bodies, the sharp angles of the tension between them.

    Xie Lian stood, frozen in stupor as he admired the beauty of the sculpture.

    or: Cave of Ten Thousand Gods retelling where Xie Lian actually sees the Land of the Tender (and many many more) sculptures and chaos ensues.

    Xie Lian (unfortunately) ascends for the third time, and is hoping to keep his marriage to Hua Cheng private as long as possible. Somehow he's immediately found out and invited to the Fuck Hua Cheng Club—or so he thinks!

    Summary

    The moment Xie Lian opens his eyes to see opulent streets of his past, dread curls in the pit of his stomach. He isn't supposed to be here. 

    In front of him, a stoic civil goddess with her arms full of scrolls steps forward—a beta named Ling Wen, if he remembers correctly. He doesn't really care at the moment. Eyeing him, she says, "Welcome back, Your Highness. Your ascension caused qui-"

    "I need to go," he interrupts, his rising panic preventing him from allowing her the courtesy of finishing her welcome speech. It’s nothing he hasn’t heard before, anyway.

    ***

    Or: Xie Lian ascends for the third time, but—much to everyone’s surprise—all he wants is to get back to his mate and his pup.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng looks at Xie Lian like he's grown a second head and then looks away and says something under his breath Xie Lian doesn't understand.
    “Sorry, I didn't catch that, can you repeat it?”
    Hua Cheng looks up, lower lip jutted out and with determination shining in his eyes.
    “I said, I'm not cute. I'm a dangerous Ghost King and Ghost Kings are not cute.”
    “...”
    Xie Lian pinches his cheek and Hua Cheng lets out an indignant noise.
    “Gege!!”

    Or: Caught by surprise by the opening of Mt. Tonglu, Hua Cheng makes a decision that puts him into a bad position.
    But luck is on his side, when a wandering cultivator decides to help him.

    Summary

    The temple had clearly been abandoned a while ago; aged and weathered, even its establishment plaque had fallen off at some point. There was absolutely nothing special about it.

    And yet, looking at it, something in Xie Lian’s chest grew tight. That something compelled him to walk closer, closer, closer, climbing the steps to the temple proper even as his feet grew increasingly leaden. One of the temple doors was askew, and the other groaned weakly as he pushed it open.

    Inside was nothing. Not a person, not a statue, not an offering. Just an altar, empty and alone.

    And looking at that altar, something suddenly occurred to Xie Lian.

    Oh. It’s been a year.

    -

    Did you think this wouldn't happen?

    Summary

    “Thank you,” Wuming breathed. The words slid against Xie Lian's lips, the almost of a kiss that left tingles in its wake.

    “Uh huh.” What were we talking about again? “It- it was nothing.”

    Wuming retreated to a distance that didn’t tempt Xie Lian quite so much to dive back in. His lips were quirked faintly, his eye half-lidded. His gaze lingered on Xie Lian for a few moments before it dropped to the wad of fabric in his hand. Xie Lian took the chance to recompose himself.

    “...It’s really nothing special,” he said.

    “I love it.” Wuming’s voice brooked no quarter.

    -

    Xie Lian was not the only one with demons haunting him. He may not be able to exorcise them, but he can still try to help.

    Summary

    There wasn’t a word for the expression on Wuming’s face. Nothing that could capture how wounded, lost, and painfully, painfully young he looked. So quietly devastated and confused that it reinforced two things for Xie Lian: that Wuming really did care, truly, deeply, ardently; and that no one had ever returned that care once in his life.

    “I understand,” Wuming finally said. His voice was small, more like a child’s than a man’s. “I get it. I won’t say it anymore, so don’t... Don’t say that ever again. Please.”

    -

    An innocent question raises difficult topics for Xie Lian and Wuming.

    Summary

    “Oh,” he said, once his eyes focused and he realized Wuming was bent over the cooking pot in the middle of the room. His heart beat in double-time and his stomach flipped, although he couldn’t explain why. He was just suddenly deeply anxious, certain the idyllic picture before him was about to crack like a mirror.

    But it didn’t. Wuming glanced towards the door and immediately lit up to see him.

    “Your Highness! Welcome back.” He sounded so earnest that Xie Lian had to smile, casting aside his strange unease without another thought.

    -

    After months of vigilant care, Wuming has returned to Xie Lian!

    So why wasn't he happy? Why now, of all times, was he falling apart?

    Summary

    A moment passed, and then Wuming groaned tellingly. Yeah, this guy should’ve passed out hours ago.

    “I’m sorry, Your Highness,” he said softly, exhaustion slurring his words. “I’m still weak.”

    Xie Lian hushed him. “Nevermind that. Rest, alright? We can talk more when you wake up.”

    You’re only so weak because of me, anyway, he thought guiltily. This washed-out specter was a far cry from the ghost who effortlessly destroyed seal after seal within the walls of Yong’an’s Royal Palace.

    A couple of necessary conversations, at the dawn of Xie Lian and Wuming's life together.

    Xie Lian found him in the aftermath, once everything was said and done.

    Or, well. He found it. A flickering scrap of a ghost flame. He had no right or reason to call it a ‘him’, but despite everything telling him otherwise, from his cultivation knowledge to his own personal experience with the brutal strength of those spirits to his freshly-dispersed luck, Xie Lian somehow knew -or couldn’t resist believing- that this ghost flame was Wuming.

    Xie Lian finds the remains of Wuming after being banished for the second time.
