    Summary

    Five years into marriage, Hua Cheng has grown quieter. The silver has disappeared. The teasing has softened. Everything runs smoothly… perhaps too smoothly.

    When Xie Lian insists on dragging his husband somewhere cold, remote, and inconvenient for work, he expects a simple break.

    Snow, language barriers, pink gemstones, and the unsettling question of who you are when the weight that carried you no longer fits. Like the southern lights, the shape and color of Hua Cheng’s devotion begin to shift.

    Summary

    It had been his idea to do this. He’d been curious about what it would be like to completely give himself over to Hua Cheng’s mercy; to allow his husband to do whatever he likes with him. He’d suggested it in the late evening when they’d been reclining on the divan in the parlour, and Hua Cheng had gone so silent that for a second Xie Lian had thought he’d said something wrong.

    It had been Hua Cheng’s idea to use Ruoye.

    Birthday fic for Andy!!

    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    It is him.

    Hua Cheng knows it is him, because he would know him anywhere, in any place and at any time and in any state. Knows the slope of his jaw and the silken strands of his hair, and the soft ivory of his skin and the curve of his shoulders.

    Because he sees him in everything that is good and precious and divine; because he has been running after him, praying to him, talking to him in the private comfort of his mind for as long as he can remember.

    Because it is him, and Hua Cheng’s soul would know his in a thousand lifetimes, under a million different stars, in the dirt and the mud just as well as on the streets of the divine capital.

    Because Hua Cheng has loved him, will love him, does love him ever since he can remember.

    Xie Lian is never banished from heaven, so Hua Cheng finds him there after he ascends himself at Mount Tonglu, and becomes, as always, Xie Lian's most devoted believer.

    Summary

    Finally, Xie Lian dared to ask, "You're heading out again…?"

    "No, I just got home," Hua Cheng licked his lips, staring plainly at Xie Lian's mouth as he asked, "But I'm sure gege has somewhere to be."

    "I don't," Xie Lian admitted, still processing the information.

    He had nowhere to be. Neither did Hua Cheng. The tension between them grew as they fell silent, staring at each other. After a month apart, Xie Lian was almost afraid he was dreaming. If he touched Hua Cheng, would he disappear into a sea of butterflies? But the tension only grew. The air was thick with it until, finally, all resolve snapped under the weight of a ghost king and a god's unrelenting desire, and they lunged at each other like starved wolves.

    --

    After spending so much time apart, Xie Lian finds himself overcome by an unrelenting lust. Thankfully, his husband is all too happy to oblige in every request he might have. No matter how long it takes.
