    Summary

    Even if he could never have dreamed of this, or of their original crossing of paths, it could only ever have been Zhuge Qing.

    For Wang Ye to wield a Supreme, for this calamitous fate to cast its heavy shadow: over and over again, without fail, without error, moth to a flame.

    It was always going to be Zhuge Qing. It will only ever be Zhuge Qing.

    (or, those 10 nights in Beijing)

    Summary

    He moved through life in gradients of silence. Grocery stores made his head ache with light, voices, unpredictable chatter. Department meetings left him sweating under his shirt though the air conditioning blasted. When he spoke, people blinked—too honest, too fast, too much. His colleagues described him as brilliant but strange. Yuanzhou didn’t mind. He had his whiteboard markers, his research, and a small corner of the university where everything obeyed physical law. Physics was the only world where he didn’t have to guess what people meant.

    Summary

    You want to hear me play. Gao Jianli realises. You want to dip your fingers in my grief and sample it like a fine wine. He feels wild. Like a man-eater. He wants to tear out the king's throat with his own teeth.

    A series of vignettes based on the Emperor's Shadow.

    Summary

    The Guy grunted. He screwed up his face against Sydney’s summer sun streaming in through the window, pressed his palms to his eyes, and then shook out his hair. His eyes blinked open, slow mo, lashes batting.

    “Oh hey, so you’re Zuko?” He yawned, then grinned. He had a fucking accent. Zuko was gonna bite something apart. “I’m Sokka. I’ll be the top to your lion bottom.”

    Sifu Piandao has called in an old student of his to help pull this year’s lion dance together, after Zuko’s usual partner Aang took off to “find himself” in Nepal. Zuko’s worked with Piandao for years, he’s a professional. No matter how annoying the new guy is, he’s going to keep it together for the sake of the festivities, and not at all get distracted by his partner’s… assets.

    Summary

    Three great demons challenge each other in a race across the rocky shores of the Wilderness. More precisely, Zhuo Yichen and Li Lun race each other, and Zhao Yuanzhou judges who is faster, only that he doesn’t take his job very seriously. To even have the slightest chance at winning, Zhuo Yichen and Li Lun must work together.

    Summary

    Zhuo Yichen is just shy of his fifteenth birthday when he first meets Zhao Yuanzhou and Li Lun. He feels every second of the six years of age between them as he stutters out his name. He catches sight of Li Lun’s slight smirk at the hiccup and looks down, shaking his hair over his reddening ears. A hand is proffered to him and he takes it. He thinks Zhao Yuanzhou notices the slight tremor in his fingertips because his eyes crinkle knowingly as they exchange introductions.
    Zhao Yuanzhou’s smile is warm and gentle in the way Li Lun’s isn’t.

    Zhuo Yichen is young and wants someone he cannot have. Li Lun is older and provides a good enough distraction.

    A-Mian raised a hand to cup his cheek, her thumb brushing slowly over its burning heat as she added, "I would know you as he does."

    "But—!"

    Her finger slid over to press against his lips. "Xiangyi… I would have you, as he does."

    Summary

    When he didn’t answer immediately, she straddled him again, pinning him with her weight as she drew her fist back, readying to hit him a second time. He groaned, catching her punch before it made contact. “I have no intention of fighting with you.”

    “You had the intention when you retaliated. You had the intention when you broke into my apartment!”

    “It’s not your apartment,” he said. “I’ve been living here since the semester started. Why do you think I have a key?”

    Summary

    They'd been drinking for hours when Chengyu had decided to get a little mouthy, a little racy- and Xiao Shuai had responded as he often does-

    'I've slapped you once, I can do it again-'

    And Chengyu- Chengyu had repeated what he said, as he often does. Nodding seriously, licking his bottom lip- 'you've slapped me once and you could do it again'-

    Active listening at its finest.

    And he wouldn't have thought anything about it- he wouldn't have-

    Except Chi Cheng had snickered, smirking as he said 'oh, he'd like that. He'd like that a lot.'

    This is what the official records say: Prince Nan'ning, accused of treason against the Emperor, is brought to trial for his crimes and granted three zhang of white silk.

    But Prince Nan'ning does not die.

    “Da Yao,” Bai Jiu says, chin trembling. “Are you dying?”

    Zhu Yan blinks. “I don't think so.”

    “But you don’t remember me?” Bai Jiu says tearfully.

    “I don’t remember any of you,” Zhu Yan says, and it feels like a kindness until the words are out of his mouth.

    Summary

    "So you're begging me," Zhuo Yichen deadpans. He can feel his eyebrow raising—a default state of being when you dealt with Zhao Yuanzhou on a regular basis.

    "Well, beg is a strong word," Zhao Yuanzhou says with not a hint of shame in his tone. His sincerity had lasted for all of three sentences before melting away into his usual brand of contrite amusement. Zhuo Yichen hates him, genuinely. "I'd prefer to call it... asking a favour from a close friend?"
