    So it was definitely the opposite of "expected" when Dynamight posted on Twitter—revealing a secret, an underlying love that went unspoken for nobody knows how long.

    Unspoken, until now, that is.

    Summary

    Alas, to yearn for someone is among the most debilitating of afflictions.

    It manifests as an insatiable longing: the urge to breathe in honor of another, to revere every conversation as though it were divine, to murmur their name beneath moonlight if only to memorize the shape of it on your tongue.

    It is to press a hand against one’s chest and know the rhythm beneath is sustained by their existence alone, beating every syllable of their name in slurred, dreamlike speech. Drunk on a feeling wine could never deliver, an ecstasy forever grasped at with unbound ravenous palms.

    It is both a joy and a torment. A wound that never heals. A fire that never fades.

    Hua Cheng, the revered knight and unofficial ruler of Xianle, suffers from this very affliction, and seeks no cure.

    -----

    Or, an alternate universe where Xianle stands, Xie Lian has still been missing for centuries, and Hua Cheng is ruling a kingdom while searching for him.

    Summary

    ! INDEFINITE HIATUS - LAW SCHOOL !

    NSFW Chapter Guide: 9, 11, 14, 21, (TBA)

    Pei Ming's head snapped up. "Wait, seriously? You were a neurosurgeon?"
    Xie Lian nodded. "Yes. At Wuhan Union Hospital for several years."
    "And now you mop floors?" Pei Ming asked incredulously.
    "Yes, now I mop floors,” Xie Lian replied with a faint smile. “And I'm perfectly content doing so."

    TL;DR:
    Disgraced ex-neuro surgeon Xie Lian becomes a janitor, tries not to have a breakdown, accidentally starts helping again via sticky notes, gets railed by a hot trauma surgeon, and then gets blackmailed into hospital embezzlement.

    It’s fine. He’s fine. Everything is very normal and fine.

    This fic contains:
    – brain-breaking sex and brain-putting-back-in-afterward sex
    – Catholic levels of guilt
    – moral rot in the healthcare system
    – Texaco Mike
    – medical surgeons as a metaphor for godhood
    – and one man’s slow descent into bureaucratically sanctioned hell

    NOTE: Smut scenes are modular, meaning you can read them, skip them, or come back to them later (for research, obviously). They're my magna opera, but you won’t miss any essential plot by skipping them.

    Summary

    Xie Lian is an incubus who wants nothing more than to be human. Haunted by a tragedy that nearly destroyed him a decade ago, he’s sworn off feeding, craving only solitude and silence—except for the voice of one singer, Crimson Rain Sought Flower, whose music stirs something deep and unspoken inside him.

    Out of options and desperate for stability, Xie Lian takes a job at The Gambler’s Den, a club veiled in secrets and whispers, known for sheltering the supernatural and the damned. Its enigmatic owner, Hua Cheng, is a man of many faces and even more secrets. No one knows which one is real—but he sees Xie Lian, and he’s decided he won’t let him slip away.

    Or, the one where an incubus dances to forget, and a devil watches to remember.

    Summary

    AU where Xie Lian actually tells Mu Qing that he considers him a friend, and for once, Mu Qing doesn’t scoff or push it away, just nods, almost imperceptibly, like he’s holding onto the words more tightly than he’d ever admit. And when Xie Lian tells Feng Xin he wouldn’t blame him for leaving, Feng Xin doesn’t argue, just sits down beside him in silence, staying anyway.

    Xie Lian also grows that weird, unusual, but soft and warm feeling toward Wu Ming... though, of course, all of this doesn’t change the absolute disaster that his life is. It’s not like taking a slightly different path ever led him to a happy ending anyway.

    Or did it?

    Summary

    Xie Lian had just finished a grueling lecture on ancient empires. Exhausted, he fumbled with his keys, ready to collapse into bed. But when he opened his dorm door, he froze. He's met with something far more unexpected than his overdue laundry.

    A stranger. In his room. Folding his laundry. Casually.

    "You called me," the man in red said, looking up with glowing eyes.

    Xie Lian blinked. "I just wanted a citation for my bibliography?!"

    Summary

    Losing his voice was inconvenient.

    Losing his voice while married to Hua Cheng was catastrophic.

    Xie Lian wakes up cursed, unable to speak, and before he can even begin to figure out what happened, Hua Cheng decides to be his voice for the day.

    Which would be sweet, except—

    Apparently, Hua Cheng thinks Xie Lian wants revenge on whoever did this. And everyone else he knows.

    By the time Xie Lian realizes just how horribly wrong everything has gone, Pei Ming is being personally escorted to receive "proper" Ghost City hospitality," Feng Xin and Mu Qing have somehow begun a duel to the death, and the ghosts of Ghost City have started saying their final goodbyes.

    This was supposed to be a minor inconvenience.

    Now, it’s a disaster.

    And worst of all? Xie Lian can’t even yell about it.

    Or: Xie Lian loses his voice, and Hua Cheng helpfully decides to speak for him. Within hours, an entire city is in chaos, two martial gods are fighting to the death, and Pei Ming is being handed over to demons. Xie Lian needs a break.

    Summary

    He frowned, wiping a hand across his face. Was it over? No, that didn’t make sense. Curses didn’t just stop like that, especially not the kind tied to the Sunken Ghost City. Cautiously, he pushed himself to his feet and climbed the ladder back to the deck, every step feeling heavier than the last.

    When he emerged into the open air, Xie Lian stopped short. The crimson sky had faded, replaced by a dull, overcast gray. The blood rain had stopped entirely, leaving only dark stains streaked across the deck and pooling in the cracks between the planks. The sea was unnervingly still, the waves subdued as if holding their breath.

    How odd.

    Captain Xie Lian has a ship held together by hope, reputation for endless bad luck, and a curse that seems to follow him across every tide. He’s long since made peace with solitude—until a strange melody leads him to something (or someone) glittering beneath the waves. Now, between unexpected rescues, flustered misunderstandings, and one very persistent sea creature who won’t stop calling him gege, Xie Lian might be in deeper waters than he ever expected.

    Summary

    By the time they finished eating, Xie Lian had almost forgotten he was supposed to be investigating. Hua Cheng paid the bill before Xie Lian could even reach for his wallet (which was also suspicious—did he have some kind of notification system for that too??????)

    As they walked outside, Xie Lian turned to Hua Cheng. “You know, this was nice. Two totally normal best friends having a completely normal lunch.”

    Hua Cheng hummed. “Of course, gege.”

    Xie Lian smiled. Then paused.

    Wait.

    He squinted. “San Lang, did I pick this restaurant… or did you make me think I picked this restaurant?”

    Hua Cheng smirked. “What do you think?”

    xie lian’s life is perfectly normal—until he notices hua cheng’s uncanny knack for predicting his every move. (best friends don’t psychic-text you to go home before you collapse, right??) armed with a notes app and questionable detective skills, xie lian vows to uncover the truth.

    Summary

    Xie Lian had counted and thirty names had been called. The end of the list was near. 33, 34, 35. Only one more.

    Jun Wu stopped and scanned the last name on the list. Xie Lian thought he saw a slight frown but it must have been his imagination. The emperor sighed and closed the scroll to pronounce the name of the last defied god. "Xie Lian."

    Or: What if Hua Cheng does not throw himself off the wall during the parade? He does not defeat thirty-five but thirty-six gods, but they both have no idea they know each other from after the war opposing Xian Le and Yong'An...

    They fall in love anyway.

    Summary

    Xie Lian was not upset about what he lost. He swore up and down that he didn’t mind being immortal, ashes wrapped around his neck. Not a god anymore. Not really. So, Xie Lian made a home on a mountain, plagued with white flowers that sprouted from his blood and his footsteps, twisting along every pathway. Another ghost came to live with him, between the flowers and the trees and winding river Xie Lian kept thinking of drowning in. He said his name was San Lang. It wasn’t. It was actually Hua Cheng, but Xie Lian didn’t know how to bring that up. It wasn’t as important as everything else—gardens, flowers, silver butterflies, and sorting out his dreams from his perilous reality. Hua Cheng made space, and Xie Lian let him.

    Dead god, very dead follower. It was almost funny.

    He wasn’t sure what to do, seeing as he did not plan to ascend again, did not plan to ever hold power over a kingdom. Xie Lian wasn’t staying forever. The mountain would open up, and he would leave to become something catastrophic. Or he would finally disperse. Who was he to say?

    (or: xie lian dies, becomes a calamity, ascends to the heavens against his wishes, and finally makes his life flourish between his thumbs and a ghost’s smile.)

    Summary

    Xie Lian's had his entire life planned for by others. He's swallowed down any of his own wants and needs until they ceased to exist, giving in to circumstance and coming to accept never having a say of his own. Completing ten years at Divine Arts, he's long turned into nothing a but any empty shell.

    Hua Cheng is a rising star, the main vocalist of Calamities, and a prolific soloist. With companies eager as they vie at a chance to collaborate, it's inevitable for their paths to cross.

    Perhaps this stroke of blazing crimson, can revive a flower long withered.

    Summary

    It’s normal to have different levels of closeness to different friends. Xie Lian knew this. After all, his relationships with Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Shi Qingxuan varied drastically. They interacted in different ways, but that didn’t mean that any of them were less dear to Xie Lian.

    But then there was his relationship with San Lang. Where to even start?

    A week ago, if you asked him what his relationship with San Lang was, he would have proudly answered that he was his best friend. Of course, this wouldn’t be the whole truth, since Xie Lian had been hopelessly in love with him practically since they had met… but Xie Lian was not so foolish as to think that Hua Cheng in any way returned his feelings. And now, after the events of the past week, he couldn’t even bear to delude himself in his fantasies. The truth was undeniable.

    Hua Cheng was in love with He Xuan.

    Summary

    There is a regular at the small coffee shop Xie Lian has been working at for the past few months (possibly the longest time he has ever kept a job down), one that when he disappears from his quiet place by the window, leaves a white paper flower in his wake.

    Xie Lian can't help but feel that these tiny offerings, after subtle smiles and shared glances from across the room, are just for him.

    He may have the teeniest, tiniest crush.
