Summary
Ivan doesn’t care about art. But when he catches Till drawing him without permission, he doesn’t get angry—he asks to be drawn again. Properly.
What starts as a challenge turns into a routine: an hour a day, charcoal dust, Ivan complaining and staying anyway.

Summary
Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.
The altar.
Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.
-
After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.
Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.
Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.

Gorgeous fic, it flows really well and it's a great example of a long fic that spans a short time frame. The chemistry between hualian feels really natural, both sweet and sexy at the same time

The first thing anyone notices about Al-Haitham is that he is beautiful. The second thing they notice is he doesn't suffer the presence of fools.
The third thing anyone learns about Al-Haitham is that he is hopelessly in love with Kaveh.

Summary
Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.
Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

“Is this a—”
“It’s not a sex thing,” Alhaitham interrupts.
“Hmph. We could make it a sex thing,” Kaveh says. “Wise senior Kaveh helps out his poor underclassman with homework. How ever will he pay me for my services?”
“Yes, Kaveh. I too find ancient runes to be an adequate aphrodisiac, but we haven’t the time.”
One unremarkable afternoon, Alhaitham and Kaveh translate some runes.

Summary
Tighnari’s jaw snaps shut. They both watch in silence as Al-Haitham, ritual worshiper of the daily workplace routine, a transcendently habitual creature set in his ways since the moment he accepted this job offer, reaches thoughtlessly into his desk organizer for a pen and instead comes up with three-quarters of a pastel blue crayon.
Al-Haitham pauses. He looks down at the crayon in his hand; then, at the document he was about to sign. Next, he casts his gaze across the rest of his desk, where it lands on a sheet of scratch-n-sniff stickers in place of his post-its and a heart-shaped hole punch replacing his stapler. His hand visibly twitches.
I will get you, he mouths at Kaveh. Then he puts down the crayon and signs the phrase without breaking eye contact, just to be thorough.
Good luck, moron, Kaveh signs back. Then he blows a kiss.
Al-Haitham and Kaveh have a totally normal and mature workplace prank war of totally normal and mature proportions.

Summary
Al-Haitham shrugs, looking at Kaveh like he’s the crazy one. “Why would I prioritize being tired when I do that every night?”
“Prioritize over what?” Kaveh asks, trying to stay as patient as he can.
Al-Haitham blinks. “Mmh,” he hums, then laughs softly to himself, ducking his head down to his chest. It’s a gentle thing — almost delicate. Kaveh hasn’t seen him do that in… a long time. “I think if I start talking, I won’t be able to stop.”
kaveh knows, on some level, that decay is not supposed to last this long

Summary
Xie Lian has suspected for a while now that he might be Hua Cheng's beloved, but he can hardly just go and ask Hua Cheng if that's the case, right?
Instead, he books a cabin by a lake for Christmas, in the hopes that the cosy atmosphere will lead to some romantic confessions and his own happy ending.
- - - - -
"Gege, you're not watching."
The silly Christmas movie is still playing, but Xie Lian can’t hear it, too attuned to the heavy, steady breaths coming from Hua Cheng, the pink that dusts across his cheeks, and that look of sweet adoration mixed with a little terror in his eyes. He still hasn’t looked away, and Xie Lian feels like they’re on the edge of something beautiful and new.
And then the tension snaps.

Summary
“We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”
“It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.
“I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”
Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.
“What do you think about, gege?”
--
Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

One of my favorite modern hualian fics that holds up to a reread a few months later. The chemistry between them is so wonderful, sweet and fun and adoring, and the build up in their physical relationship is really enjoyable to read. Recommend to everyone because they!! They just!! Love each other so much!!!!

Summary
Shang Qinghua nods quickly, only relaxing once Mobei-Jun finally breaks the gaze in order to lay right back down on his side, hand propping up his head.
Then, he does something nearly terrifying-- he smiles, lips quirking in a way that begets a sort of malice capable of sending a shiver right down Shang Qinghua’s spine. “Good. Others are not to touch what is mine.”
(or: 5 times Mobei-Jun surprises Shang Qinghua + one time Shang Qinghua surprises him.)

Summary
Xie Lian glanced around, searching for a space amid the crowded bus. The seats had already been taken up, forcing her to wriggle between standing passengers. When she saw Hua Cheng, her gaze lingered for a second before a smile graced her lips. She shuffled closer until she was standing in front of Hua Cheng and holding onto the steel pole as the bus began to move.
Hua Cheng tried not to fidget as she scrambled to say something. She hoped the smile she had on wasn’t hysterical or awkward.
“Hi, Jiejie,” she finally said.
Xie Lian’s smile grew. “Hi.” She started to mess with a lock of her hair with her free hand. “I… I feel like I see you on this bus a lot. Going home?”
--
In which Hua Cheng’s car breaking down leads her to riding the bus where she runs into the unluckiest, prettiest woman in the world.

It was raining again. Which wasn’t the worst thing in the world.
And their power out. Which still wasn’t the worst thing in the world, but it was pretty damn inconvenient.
Shota meandered down the hall with a flashlight in hand, pausing by the bathroom door as warm, flickering light filtered in through the opening between it and the doorframe. Raising a brow, Shota pushed the door open, and Hizashi squinted at him from the bathtub.
“You’re really killing the mood shining that thing right in my eyes, ya know.”

“I trust you,” Hizashi says. “If you’re in the room, I trust it’ll go smoothly.”
Shōta looks oddly touched at that, which is crazy because of course Hizashi trusts him. He’s been coming to him for repairs for years, has had to endure him slitting his throat and gouging his eyes out and sticking tweezers deep into his ears since he was fifteen years old. Shōta’s hand has always been steady.
(or, Hizashi is a cyborg and Shōta is his favorite mechanic)
