the soul that seeketh him by bittybelle
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir

Summary
People, it turns out, are horny for depression. Or maybe it’s that people are horny for depressed gods. Or maybe enduring betrayal on a literally cosmic scale makes people hotter. Or maybe the death drive is real, and the many-tongued abyss’s breath is still thick in your hair, and it makes everyone want to move closer and take a big, deep whiff. Or maybe you’re God, and they’re scared.
Or: John Gaius meets his daughter, remembers the women he left behind, and deals poorly with being the male god of a universe in which the divine is essentially feminine.

Summary
"You know I had to do it to them," John mumbles.
He misses the beach. The real beach. The current one is mostly soil with a lacy veneer of nuclear ash, clammy and streaky and hilariously radioactive, which is a real bummer when he thinks about it too hard. But the twenty-five meter sea level rise that came when all the freshwater ice finished melting around the mid-century mark ate away at the shoreline, rolled in between the skyscrapers on a new tide, swallowed up all the people who couldn't afford to move anywhere else. Have you seen the rent rates lately?
And then John accidentally'd the entire nuclear stockpile of the planet Earth.

Summary
Xue Yang met Meng Yao again on the other side of the war, in the middle of Lanling Jin Sect's extravagant banquet celebrating the end of the Sunshot Campaign. It was a far cry from when they'd first met, years ago, as two rats scrabbling in the fringes of a Yunping brothel.
Now, Xue Yang is Jin Guangshan's much-coddled second son and Meng Yao is an honored guest with resentful energy in his veins. Only one thing hasn't changed: they're both still so very hungry.
And Koi Tower is ripe for the feast.

Summary
They say the living dead are fuelled by resentment. But that's an over-generalization. More specifically, the dead are tied to this world by their obsession. An attachment, an unfinished thought, a lingering sentiment.

Summary
Qingyang stops in her tracks. The ghost shudders, then ploughs on. Another thrum resonates into the darkness, another streak of blue—the ghost freezes. Qingyang turns around. Under the moonlight, she can see another white shape, this one much less frightening than the one she had come to seek.
“Hanguang-jun,” Qingyang complains, “you’re stealing my thunder!”

Summary
Chu Wanning is asleep on the bed, clutching his hands tightly to his chest and curled in on himself. He’s still wearing the same robes he was in in the water prison. On the writing desk, a bowl of water and clean linen for bandages sit untouched, and a tub of bathwater has cooled without being used. Mo Ran sighs to himself. Wanning is truly hopeless.
He sits on the side of the bed and touches Chu Wanning’s shoulder. “Wanning,” he says. “Wanning, wake up.”

Rare 0.5 tenderness, after the water prison.

Summary
To anyone else Lan Xichen might have appeared the picture of serenity, but Lan Wangji can see all too easily how bone-white he is, how his bloodstained fingers tremble where they lay on his knees, how unsteady his breathing remains.
Lan Xichen had been Lan Wangji's rock when he'd needed it most, when his world crumbled to ash around him and he struggled to find any reason to continue drawing breath in a world that had, for him, lost its light. It's only now that he's starting to understand the staggering weight of that responsibility.
After returning to Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji attempts to shield his brother from some of the consequences of his actions. Unfortunately, things are rarely so simple.

jin guangyao has been stabbed a number of times in his life, for a number of reasons, but the basic feeling is more or less the same. to be stabbed is to be made cold, to feel the sharp bite of it through one’s flesh, the shock, the loss of blood. this is nothing like that.

Meng Yao pulls three braids around his topknot and hides them with the guan he was given by a soft boy in soft robes calling after him in a voice even softer, ties his hat under his chin, and pulls the smile over his cheeks like the women of Camellia House did powder and rouge.
