    Summary

    Western AU.

    Rua, a reporter, meets an unlikely couple on an otherwise dull train ride: Pretty, gentle preacher Diarmuid and his very large, intimidating husband, David. Then some outlaws try to rob the train and its passengers, and Rua gets an idea of exactly who David is and just how much he loves his husband.

    Summary

    One of the first things the Mute learns about Diarmuid is that he is curious. The second thing he learns is that Diarmuid is creative. And the third—those two things in tandem mean mischief.

    Summary

    Diarmuid has seen frustration many times before, felt it just as often as the sun rises—Ciarán once said that living with monks is a constant exercise in mediation, in balancing one's humors and idiosyncrasies against those of others—but never before the Mute has he seen naked rage.

    Diarmute Week 2025 Day 7: Lazarus

    The relic is—

    "A rock," says David, frowning at the museum exhibit.

    Diarmuid corrects him. "It's the rock that killed St. Matthias." He taps at the information placard on the wall.

    Summary

    Planets are dumb and dangerous, but at this point I'd argued— okay, more like complained— complargued so many times that nobody except ART was still willing to argufy back.

    (That stands for argue-pacify, in case it isn't obvious. I think it's not obvious. And no, I hadn't forgiven ART yet for saying I needed pacifying.)

    Anyway, I was currently complarguing from my seat in the back of the snow-capable bot-driven transport heading out to the middle of nowhere, so I had the sneaking suspicion I'd lost the fight.

    Murderbot accompanies its humans on a winter vacation. Then the storm hits.

    “ART,” I said the moment I entered its airlock. “Would you marry me?”

    Are you asking? it replied.

    “No, dumbass. Hypothetically.”

    Turns out marriage comes with more advantages than just housing and tax benefits: it can also get you out of uncomfortable situations!

    Murderbot is on a critical mission: investigate and infiltrate the media conglomerate WarFlix, the organizer for the annual GlobeCon Event.

    The fact that the head show-runner for The Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon is a guest of honor at this year’s GlobeCon is a total coincidence.

    Summary

    I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].

    ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.

    I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.

    ---

    Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

    Summary

    "Is that something that Wei Ying would like?" Lan Wangji asks softly, carefully, "To be kept?"

    There's that fleeting, lost look in Wei Ying's eyes once more, and Lan Wangji thinks it's unacceptable - That Wei Ying had not felt welcomed in his own home, so much so that he decided to wander the world away from it. So much so that he is afraid that he would be unwelcome as well elsewhere.

    Lan Wangji barely stops himself from hissing, from letting the steam of his icy breath escape in the close air between them. He only vaguely remembers the Jiangs, a young Cultivation Clan barely a century old, but his disdain towards them feels ancient now in the wake of all this. How foolish of them, to simply let go of someone so bright, someone so unfailingly kind and giving. 

    How convenient, for Lan Wangji's own gain.

    Summary

    Unexpectedly, they’re joined by two heavenly officials that have been sent to investigate the issue as well. Will the four of them be able to work together to get rid of this ghost and bring peace back to this town?

    Summary

    Xie Lian is used to putting on performances. When a new theater is celebrating its grand opening, he chooses to put on a show in order to earn some tips. However, he soon finds out that there is a curse befalling some of the nobles who have attended the pre-opening performances at the theater which caused them to fall into a trance, unable to be awoken.

    Together with Hua Cheng, and a group of rambunctious kids, they seek to get to the bottom of the curse in hopes of stopping it before everyone who attends the grand opening is afflicted.

    Having come to a decision, he took hold of the ghost and hoisted him onto his shoulder like a very large, very tall sack of rice. The ghost sucked in an unnecessary, shaky breath.

    or

    Xie Lian sets out to capture a ghost, and succeeds. It's just... a different ghost than the one he was after.

    Summary

    Well, Xie Lian certainly feels fine. His spiritual energy reserves remain untouched. His physical form, as healthy as ever. And his mind, unfettered and free of worldly disturbances.

    There was only one slight… nuisance.

    He couldn’t seem to stop speaking today.

    Xie Lian gets afflicted with a particularly troublesome truth-telling curse from a malicious spirit. Hua Cheng deals with it.

    He himself was the offering. He would erupt from the Kiln as the blade that would take vengeance without dirtying those divine hands, the bones for Xie Lian to trample on his climb, ten thousand flowers for his altars. All actions were in service of that eventual offering, a singular act of worship.

    The last thing Wuming remembers is carving a particular statue, then resting his eye. Many things, he comes to discover, have happened since then.

    Summary

    For now, he gives in to the pressure, lets it pull him down until he’s nestled on the stone floor next to his God. Lets himself rest his head, his empty eye socket throbbing like his still heart once did, and remains there. The cool brush of stone arms around him are never enough, but he knows it’s more than he ever has deserved.

    ——

    A very self indulgent fic where Hua Cheng finds comfort in the strong arms of his husband.
