    Summary

    Xie Lian, humiliated and in tears, trembles before the watching court as his already-degraded body is put on display.
    Jun Wu speaks to him in a gentle, coaxing tone, promising that his tears will soon reshape themselves into obedience.
    Then, without warning, he forces two fingers into the young god’s body, the sudden pain tearing through him as blood rises to prove his innocence

    Summary

    [Podfic]

    His long hair is just barely lighter than Hua Cheng's own. His build is slim but muscular. His face is round and gentle. Nose is sharp. Cheeks pink. Lips thin. Eyes large and the color of the finest cinnamon.

    "I'd recognize Dianxia anywhere."

    It's him.

    ***OR***

    A rewrite of Heaven Official's Blessing where Hua Cheng forges E'Ming during the Xianle civil war but is unable to stop Xie Lian from consuming the resentful spirits of Xianle's army. After learning his cursed shackles keep him tethered to the mortal realm, Xie Lian seeks out the Kiln and becomes a calamity.

    Meanwhile, Hua Cheng spends centuries searching for his beloved until fate brings him to Yu Jun Mountain.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian feels her blood run cold.

    Yu-ayi’s right. He really is going to choose me, she thinks. Oh, no. Oh, good Heavens, no!

    She nearly bursts into tears on the spot; but just as her eyelids begin to sting, she remembers what her aunt said only two minutes earlier and breathes a sigh of relief.

    The moment Huangshang lays eyes on you, he will know what choice to make.

    In that moment, Wei Wuxian realizes that she can only be certain of evading the Empress’s throne if she ensures that the emperor never lays eyes on her at all.

    Or: in the second year of his reign, Emperor Lan Wangji yields to the wishes of his ministers and holds a bride selection to find his future empress.

    Summary

    “This is what you heard?”

    Qin Su has never seen Lan Xichen lose his composure before. The corners of his eyes are scarlet, and his face is whiter than the snowy collar of his gown; and if the two of them were not seated, Qin Su suspects that he would have collapsed on the spot.

    She takes another sip of tea. “That is what he said.”

    Lan Xichen looks at her in desperation. “But—”

    “Do you think I would mistake the voice of my intended?” she asks quietly. “I heard him speaking with one of your former disciples—Su Minshan, I think. My child will be allowed only two or three years; though A-Yao said that he would reconsider if it learns to talk before its first birthday, as he did.”

    At the other end of the table, Zewu-jun makes another sound of anguish.

    (In which Lan Xichen hosts a hundred-day feast and a wedding, and Qin Su and Jin Rusong are spared by a timely stroke of luck.)

    Summary

    How does a slave from the stables end up being shipped off to a neighboring country as a gift to warm the bed of the crown prince? Well, Hua Cheng wasn't actually in the room at the time but, judging by everything he's put together and what Yin Yu has told him, it goes something like this.

    1 The King of Yong’an wants to conquer Xianle.

    2 The King doesn't want Xianle to know that yet so that he can take them by surprise.

    3 To bring this about the King wants a spy deep enough in Xianle’s royal court that they can learn the royal family’s most intimate and military secrets, and who could be better positioned to do that than a concubine?

    So 4 the King of Yong’an tells his inner counsel that the first step in his invasion plan is to give the crown prince a concubine.

     

    Or Hua Cheng is given to the crown prince of Xianle as a concubine with the job of seducing him in order to spy on him for the neighboring kingdom of Yong'an, but when real feelings get involved things get ...complicated

    Summary

    Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.

    “They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”

    This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.

    In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

    Summary

    Her body twitched uncontrollably against his as she could only stare in shock at the other brats lying lifeless with eyes wide open, reddening the ground below them. Their sensei, in a desperate attempt to save her, had just given him his much-needed advantage.
    The moment his blade made contact with the man's wrist, he knew he had struck well. The soft flesh felt like air beneath his sword, cutting through muscle, veins, soft tissue and even bones without the slightest bit resistance. The large blade gleamed brighter as warm blood flowed over it.

    Summary

    Kiryu just got out of jail; trying to re-enter society, find a paying job and learn how cell phones work should have been enough on his plate. Instead, on top of all those things he's also trying desperately to pick apart a ten-year knot of Tojo Clan politics before it kills him, keep a little kid safe and fed, relearn how to defend himself, and figure out what happened to Yumi. He simply doesn't have the capacity to also try and understand what the hell is going on between him and Majima.

    Majima seems happy to help him out, though. With several of those things. Not that Kiryu asked.

    Summary

    It's a long story but here's the quick and dirty version: they have to convince pretty much the whole-ass Kamurocho criminal underworld they're in love and other than two very specific people nobody, absolutely fucking nobody, can know it’s just a bit till the job is done.

    You want the long version, including the part where this whole dumb stunt was Majima’s idea? Kiryu kind of insists that it be made real nice and clear that this was, in fact, Majima’s stupid idea and he just went along with it because he didn’t know what the hell else to try. Which, y’know. Fair enough.

    [In which Majima and Kiryu pretend to be a Thing for family business reasons. With these two, this is easier said than done.]

    Summary

    Sesshōmaru doesn’t like change. He doesn’t like being lied to. And he certainly doesn’t like watching competent people get replaced by nepotistic fools.
    So when Kagome’s “replacement” fumbles a critical client question, Sesshōmaru schedules an emergency call. And when he confirms she’s being removed, he deems it a threat to business continuity—and makes her his next acquisition target. His proposal is simple: leave the company that failed to keep her. Come work directly for him. If not in business, then…other capacities.

    Summary

    “Wei Wuxian,” Nie Mingjue began, “I wanted to ask you about yesterday.”

    “Ah?” He might have also wanted to ask the other man about yesterday, but it was unnerving to have it asked of him! Perhaps Wei Wuxian could still feign ignorance. “What is there to ask about? I just happened to come across you and was able to offer a bit of assistance.”

    Nie Mingjue raised an unimpressed eyebrow. “Do you think me senile?”

    He huffed, inexplicably feeling a little embarrassed, “Well, it was worth a try."

    (Or, the one where Wei Wuxian and Nie Mingjue are both struggling and decide to fall in love about it.)

    Summary

    After a nighthunt gone wrong, Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui find themselves nearly two decades in the past. For Jin Ling, this should be a golden opportunity—they can prove their worth in the legendary Sunshot Campaign, save Jin Ling’s parents, expose the true evildoers of the post-war era, and prevent the wrong uncle from being vilified as an evil monster.

    But as he swiftly learns, the most nightmarish stories of the Sunshot Campaign are all too real, his parents’ fairytale romance isn’t, and the Yiling Patriarch might actually be as monstrous as everyone said...
