Summary
In the center of it all is a man…
A man who is scrambling around a small convection oven on the counter, trying to scrape out the blackened remains of what Hua Cheng assumes were once cookies. He appears to be in his early thirties and, despite his frantic movements and creased expression, the first word that comes to Hua Cheng’s mind is: soft.
His hair, a beautiful, earthy chestnut brown color, is pulled back into a loose bun on the top of his head. A few strands hang free, framing his face. He wears cuffed jeans and a cream-colored turtle-neck sweater that swamps his frame and falls down to his thighs, giving him a cozy, shapeless figure.
or: Hua Cheng is a famous muralist who is losing his passion for art when he meets Xie Lian, single father to five-year old Guzi. Xie Lian is in the midst of opening a flower shop and Hua Cheng, instantly captivated by this man with warm eyes and a soft nature, offers to help.

Summary
“Xie Lian?”
Xie Lian’s heart stutters in his chest as his eyes go wide. He knows he shouldn’t be hearing that voice. And yet, there’s no mistaking it.
Slowly, he lifts his gaze from the glass counter in front of him and stares in the direction whence the sound of the voice came. Standing at the entrance to the jewellery store is someone Xie Lian never expected to see again, no matter how often and how ardently he hoped that he would.
“San Lang,” Xie Lian says.
Or; Xie Lian and Hua Cheng break up. A year later, they meet again.

Summary
Xie Lian opens the door to room 84B with a smile on his face. He swore to himself years ago that he’s not going to cry here. Not going to bring even a drop of misery to Hua Cheng’s space.
“Hello, San Lang.” He says, walking to the chair he considers his. He’s the only one who sits there, so he’s not so far off. “It’s nice to see you.”
Hua Cheng is in coma, so it’s Xie Lian’s turn to wait.

Summary
Hua Cheng crouches down in front of the jam selection and is lost in thought, until a soft touch against his thigh startles him. There’s a small, pudgy hand clutching at his pants.
“Hello?” Hua Cheng looks at the small, curly child and can’t suppress a smile.
“Noods.” The kid says, voice quiet but sure.
“Okay.” Hua Cheng lets out a laugh.
Or,
Xie Lian has three kids, two jobs and not a minute to spare.
Hua Cheng has no kids, lots of time and a crush.

Summary
Hua Cheng blinks at him and then gently takes his wrist and moves it an inch away from his split lip.
“Gege was worried?” He asks.
“Of course I was.” Xie Lian huffs. “You- disappeared! I had no idea if you were even alive, and-”
“I’m sorry.” Hua Cheng answers, and – smiles. What is he so happy about?
Xie Lian’s life is a mess. Hua Cheng’s life is, somehow, even worse. Luckily, sometimes two negatives make an affirmative.

Summary
The Martial God of Death, Hua Cheng, ascended with little to no memory of his mortal life before godhood. What he did know was that he did it for…Someone. Someone so beloved and so ingrained in his heart that, even when he had lost all memory, he remembered he needed to look for them. Even without knowing who they were.
With his mission in mind, he made an agreement with Heaven to allow him to stay in the mortal realm to look for that Someone.
Except…he seems to have caught the eye of The Scourge of Heaven, the Lord of the Ghost City, and The Mad Calamity: Fangxin, the Crimson Sword Deathly Flower.
Or: A HuaLian Reverse!AU resulting from a very specific canon divergence point.

"Have we met?" Xie Lian smiles his employee-of-the-month winning smile.
"Maybe," smirks Hard-Cock.
"Sure. For here or takeaway?"
"Peppermint cocoa for here, please. And your Valentine's plans?"
He's unfazed by Xie Lian's dryness, which he has to admit is interesting. Unfortunately, Xie Lian is very, very tired. And so his filters aren't what they really ought to be when working in customer service.
"I'm going to order in some food, watch my favourite film, and then cry myself to sleep."
After Jun Wu breaks up with Xie Lian, it takes good friends and a persistent stranger to get Xie Lian to want to live his life again.

Summary
[“Just to be clear,” Yaz said, feeling very tired. “You’re wearing an eyepatch. You’ve gone for all-black. The hood of your coat, which you’ve clearly just begged the TARDIS to make in a slightly darker shade of blue, is up. But the rainbow suspenders—”]
The universe has fallen to the Flux. War rages without end. On one side, a damaged Swarm and Azure command dwindling legions of the faithful. On the other, a stranger with three faces and no mercy left to give has gathered what’s left of the universe behind her—whether they like it or not. As more and more of the universe bends to her will, the only question that remains is what will become of the universe when the war is finally won?
Amidst these scattered pieces, a small resistance is forming, built on whispers and shreds of hope. Only those who were there know the truth: Yasmin Khan is dead. The Earth is gone. The Doctor is out.
And on a planet long-forgotten, something—someone— is waking in the shadows…Bookmarked by most-devoted-believer (kasterborous13)

Summary
Xie Lian has had a rough decade, and now, having been given access to his high school reunion group chat he sees them share a meme, one poking fun at something he hand carved and was attempting to sell on his Etsy. Little does he know, this meme will (via the Shi Qingxuan to He Xuan pipeline) make its way to Hua Cheng, who recognizes the artist immediately not from the craftsmanship (or lack thereof) but the black-handled pocket knife beside it in the picture. One such knife that had once led to his hospitalization and the last time he had seen Xie Lian.
Could this be the start of a romance between Xie Lian and freelance artist San Lang? Or will Hua Cheng's various hidden identities and Xie Lian's past come back to haunt them?

Summary
Our tale begins with Xie Lian hiring an escort to help him deal with an “unspeakable affliction” after a disastrous breakup forced him to leave college and return to his hometown.
Hua Cheng (or Wuming, as he is called when we first meet him) isn’t really interested in helping people—he just wants to get paid. If the situation with a client seems too complicated to deal with, he has no problem walking away. But for some reason he can’t explain, he feels compelled to help Xie Lian.
The two find themselves very quickly drawn to one another, but nothing in life is easy, especially when it comes to love.
Xie Lian is struggling to forget about the demise of the relationship that ruined his life—a struggle complicated by the fact that his ex may or may not be stalking him.
Meanwhile, Hua Cheng is busy running from a past that will soon catch up to him with deadly consequences.

Hua Cheng grows up. He still believes in God. However, now he understands that God is loaded with work in the capital and does not hear the prayers offered to Him. So Hua Cheng doesn’t ask for anything anymore. He knows that he will not get an answer.
He knows, and yet for some reason God begins to answer him.

Summary
The water was so shallow as to provide a mostly unobstructed view from above. And the cave roof did let in some light from uneven stones, so there was no real darkness to protect him. The light reflected off the surface of the water and sent blue and yellow reflections back onto the cave walls. “You don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m not gonna hurt you.”
“I am not afraid,” He Xuan hissed, hand tightening to his knife.
Water splashed as the human kicked his feet in the shallows. “So you do speak. I was wondering if you didn’t speak my language, and if I had gone mad thinking you said something to me when you dragged me onto shore.”
He Xuan’s eyes narrowed, tail resting amongst the silt in the cave’s bottom. “If I had known you would stalk me, I wouldn’t have bothered. The world with one less human in it is a better place.”
“Have to agree with you there.” The water splashed, vibrations traveling through as the human kicked his legs. He Xuan swam to the side and peered around the rock. The human’s eye fell on him, but he was hidden enough not to show too much of himself. “You don’t have to keep hiding. I promise I won’t hurt you.”
