    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.

    After finishing their meal they walk back to the tree where Hua Cheng woke up and sit down.

    Hua Cheng gloomily looks down and Xie Lian waits. After a moment the ghost speaks up.

    “It's just– I imagined several ways of meeting you.”

    The Ghost King is still staring at the ground, not seeing both of Xie Lian's eyebrows rise up.

    “I thought, maybe I will meet you on the road, maybe an ox-cart, hitching a ride together.

    Or I'll find you in a dangerous position and save you.

    Just– not like this . In the body of a weak brat.”

    “San Lang…” Xie Lian says in a disbelieving tone.

    “Have– have we met before?”

    Hua Cheng still won't look at him and nods.

    Xie Lian looks at Hua Cheng again and he really looks like the boy he'd saved back then.

    “... Hong Hong-er?” Xie Lian asks tentatively.

    Hua Cheng's head whips up and he looks disbelieving at Xie Lian.

    “You remember me?” he asks incredulously and Xie Lian nods.

    “Aaaaah, you were so cute back then and you are still so cute…” Xie Lian can't help but gush.

    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!!”

    Xie Lian hugs him close and whines, “Too cute!”

    Surprisingly the Ghost King doesn't fight against the hug but snuggles closer.

    “Gege,” he says in a serious tone and Xie Lian leans back so they can talk face to face.

    “Thank you for helping me, but I'm afraid now you're in danger too…”

    Xie Lian lets out a self-deprecating laugh and waves a hand.

    “I'm used to this, please don't worry about it!” he says but Hua Cheng looks like it very much worries him.

    “I think we're close to Ghost City. Would you accompany me to my home? I have an extra room and food and…” he trails off, as if his offer wasn't good and he was pondering what else to offer.

    Xie Lian would actually love this, but his luck…

    “San Lang, my luck is atrocious. I fear your house will cave in as soon as I step into it.”

     

    Hua Cheng just blinks a little owlishly at him before smiling.

    “Gege would do me a great service then. I wanted to re-design some parts of the house and he saves me the work of tearing it down!”

    Xie Lian lets out a groan at the ghost's ridiculousness.

    “If there's no way to change your mind about the offer, I'd love to.” he says in a defeated tone but decides it's worth it with the way Hua Cheng beams up at him.

     

    Hua Cheng grabs one of his hands and pulls him towards the forest where they had been picking berries and then even past those.

    For a while they walk in comfortable silence until Xie Lian can't help but ask, ”San Lang, are you feeling alright? …do you want me to carry you some more?”

    Hua Cheng stiffens a little but keeps his pace.

    “Gege, are you sure it's because you're worried about me and not just because you want to carry me around?”

     

    Xie Lian holds back a wince– right into the mark!

    Hua Cheng was very perceptive!

    He lets out a small embarrassed laugh and does not answer, which is answer enough for Hua Cheng, who slumps his shoulders a little in defeat.

    The ghost king slows his steps and looks up at Xie Lian.

    “If… if Gege really wants, he can carry me,” and it's the right thing to say with how Xie Lian's face lights up.

     

    A moment later Hua Cheng is being hoisted up by strong arms and securely held against a strong chest.

    They continue their walk through the forest and after a while Hua Cheng starts a conversation again.

    “I just… I hate being this weak and useless.” he admits.

    Xie Lian tilts his head a little before answering, ”I think I understand that. But I am glad it's happening now, when I'm close and I can protect you.”

     

    Hua Cheng leans his head against the banished god's throat and clings closer.

    “But I only wanted to protect you.”

    It is whispered so quietly, if he weren't so close to Xie Lian’s ears, he would've missed it.

    Xie Lian answers by cradling the little body closer.

    “You don't have to be strong all the time. Let me protect you now. And when you're back to your usual strength, you can protect me instead.”

    Hua Cheng is silent for a moment before asking, “Promise?”

    “Promise.”

    Summary

    Mo Ran touches a weird Rice Cake Spirit, and it ends in him and Taxian-jun being separated. Suddenly in two bodies again, both of them are rather happy, given that they now get to spend equal time with their husband (and can torture him in exciting and creative new ways).
    ...Except Taxian-jun doesn't actually think that he likes this a lot. And that, even worse, he likes Mo Ran, somehow. How in the actual fuck is he meant to casually bring up that not only does he want to become one again, but that he also wants Mo Ran to fuck him?
    Yeah.
    Exactly.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “San Lang. My beloved. To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re a child or a king. An untouchable supreme or a silent ghost fire. Whether you’ve fallen in the mud or are exalted in the heavens, I love you. I will always love you.”

    Feeling him tense, Xie Lian sits up, eyes full of concern. “San Lang? Does it still hurt? Should I stop?”

    “No, gege.” Hua Cheng winds both his arms around Xie Lian’s waist, resting his head on his chest to hear his beating heart. “No. It’s better. Don’t stop.”

    He laughs, feeling tears stream from his left eye. The stabbing pain in his head eases, as if he’s crying out some poison.

    “I feel the same way. I love you.” The words give him something else to hold to, so he says them again. “Gege, I love you.”

    Xie Lian’s anxious hands come to rest in his hair, soothing as he does for Ruoye. He hums, maybe without realizing it, running his hands up and down Hua Cheng’s back, and shifts a little, clearing his throat.

    “Some things need to be said clearly. San Lang, you understand I mean all of you, don’t you? Even the pieces you don’t like. Even the parts that hurt, or are tired, or want things that you won’t ask for.”

    He kisses the crown of Hua Cheng’s head, softening his words.

    “I think, when you came back, you left something behind. I think you’ve fighting since then to keep those pieces hidden. San Lang, there’s nothing you have to hide from me. I want to see all of it.”

    He quiets, allowing him time to process all this. If he feels the tears soak through his bloodstained robes, or if Hua Cheng trembles under his palms, he is too kind to call attention to it.

He does try to contain himself, understands how overwhelming he can be, how possessive and needy he can be, but today? Today of all days when his precious Shizun offers to give him anything?

    There is so much he wants.

     

    ---

    It's Luo Binghe’s birthday and Shen Qingqiu has agreed to spend all day with him fulfilling whatever desires he can think of.
