Summary
"Let me go," Xie Lian says again.
"What a strange demon you are." The man's eyes are narrowed and cold, even in the shifting light. "Do you really think you are the Crown Prince of Xianle?"

Summary
San Lang is lucky in cards and tiles and dice. He is unlucky in life, because his boyfriend is too old for him and lies on the couch all day and doesn't even manage to go to the basement to put more money on the meter when the heating runs out, but San Lang doesn't like it when Xie Lian tells him that, even though it's true.

Summary
Xie Lian lets out a short noise, eyes widening when he sees the goods. On the shelves are neatly arranged body parts – first an ear, then fingers, then hands, one, two, three, four. An arm severed by the shoulder. He pulls down the other sheets and finds more of the same: mostly minor extremities, toes and fingers, but full feet and a few tongues too. They are all neatly severed, looking almost cured where they've been cut from the body. All of them look identical, and when he picks one of the hands up – Hua Cheng lets out a strangled noise behind him – it flips and twists easily in his grip, free of the paralysis of death.
"They're all from the same person," Xie Lian muses, studying the hand he's holding. "And they're preserved, or perhaps preserving themselves…? They don't have much spiritual energy, but–"
"Gege," Hua Cheng chokes out, "they're you."

Summary
"Oh, right. Let's see here…" Apollo clears his throat and exercises his Chords of Steel. "Yes, sir! The Blue Badger, sir! I returned him to the entrance before things got out of – wait, is this from State v Skye?"
"You recognise it?" Mr Wright says, surprised, while Trucy says,
"Stop going off-book, Mr Justice, it's not cute!"
"This isn't a theatre script, it's a court transcript! What the hell are you two up to?"
"Acting," says Trucy.
"Practicing," says Mr Wright.

Summary
"Okay, so, you know the Steel Samurai, right?"
"I'm acquainted, yes." Phoenix straightened, turning off the screen of the computer. Whenever Maya started a conversation like this, he was in for a long spiel, and he might as well save the electricity.
"So, some fans of the Steel Samurai get together and run – well, it's called an exchange, but it's like… You know secret Santa?"
"Yes," Phoenix said warily. "Wait, is this a Christmas thing? It's March."

Summary
When a heavenly official provokes Hua Cheng to violence in one of his less conventionally attractive forms, Xie Lian’s reaction is hardly what he expected.
Or: Xie Lian is determined to prove that there isn’t a single form Hua Cheng can take that’s too hideous to be kissed. He's mostly right.

Summary
Xie Lian's ankle shackle binds his luck, his ability to hear prayers, and his memory of everything that happened prior to his second banishment. Or, rather, it does until he's caught in a landslide and the shackle gets the "127 Hours" treatment, weakening the curse. It is then that he begins to hear the voice of a mysterious stranger in his head, a stranger who seems to be seeking a lost prince.

Summary
“Why is gege sitting like that?” San Lang asked softly.
Xie Lian blinked his eyes open. He'd been falling asleep, his body still so tired from everything it had been through in the depths of the cave.
“Hm?” How was he sitting? Xie Lian thought about it for a moment, and then he realised. Oh.
He was sitting with his back against the maple tree, his head tilted slightly backwards and to the side to expose his neck, the insides of his wrists turned upwards, resting on his thighs.
Xie Lian had trained himself to sit like that in the presence of vampires, so there was less chance of them pulling on and twisting his numb arms or hurting his neck.
or
After an accident, banished fairy Xie Lian becomes the unwilling guest of a sect of vampires. When another powerful vampire destroys the sect and takes Xie Lian home to help him recover, Xie Lian is faced with the challenge of convincing his saviour that he really really wouldn't mind if he were to drink some of his blood.

Summary
“I’m little, be–” Xie Lian starts out strong but loses face halfway through, and the last part trails off. “Be careful…”
“Little, mn?” Mouth tense, Hua Cheng crouches down at the edge of the path. He turns a graceful wrist and a few butterflies appear to carefully look between the stems.
It doesn’t take long at all for one to find him, and from this size, it’s huge! The butterfly's wings are taller than him, and its body the perfect size to ride like a sword.
“Hello,” Xie Lian greets it as usual.

Or: I just wanted to write Tiny! Lian and somehow ace-spec stuff snuck in. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng talk about it.
