Summary
Keith and Lance fall through wormholes (and also, in love): An exercise in trust.
//
“I’m only stranded here because I followed you!” Lance shouted, and that was the crux of it, wasn’t it? At the centre of it all, Keith’s thumping, beating heart, bleeding out by design. Keith’s lips twisted into a sneer.
“Then maybe you shouldn’t have.”
If Lance tried to kiss him because he meant it, he should’ve known better. Caring for Keith was a battle, and he was going to get tired of fighting it. Keith would rather have nothing, than have something good and watch it leave him behind.

Summary
“Wait, Shax? Why on Earth would she have your plants?” Aziraphale asked, confused as to how she got brought up at all. Crowley paused. Visibly. He had the look of a man (not literally, but so to speak) who accidentally let something slip.
“Nhh. You know.”
“Crowley.”

But to a woman, by the end, you'll kneel and plea by ghostybreads

Summary
Jiang Yanli learnt that life was unfair when she was a girl. She held that anguish in her two, delicate hands, let it shape the worn lines of her palm, and then she took her brothers by the hand; so that their small fingers might never know its sting.
She made her peace, not because she was not angry, but because there was no place for her anger here. She dug her small hands into the ground, dirt gathering under her fingernails, and in that hole she buried it. A small part of Lotus Pier had always been a graveyard of what they left unsaid. Now, the corpses that filled it were real, and she was so very tired.
//
Canon-divergence pre golden core transfer; Jiang Yanli notices before she's drugged and sent away.

Summary
He wakes up in a body he can't be sure is his own, and grieves for a life he must have once knew. Flowers wilt, and all things end, but the stranger with golden eyes remains where he was left behind sixteen years ago. Feeling lost and out of place in skin that’s just a little too tight, he finds solace in a stranger with the same goal; to find and prove Wei Wuxian's innocence.
Canon-divergence where Wei Wuxian loses his memories when he's summoned to Mo Xuanyu's body, leaving him with nothing but a mistaken identity, a mystery and an unfortunate crush who won't stop comparing him to his dead boyfriend, the Yiling Patriarch.

Summary
“Shizun,” he purred, darkly calm despite the anger oozing out of his mock-respectful smile. Luo Binghe's grip on Xiu Ya's blade tightened, and he realised with belated horror that his blood was running down the sword and dripping by Shen Qingqiu's feet. His sword had to be held at an upwards angle now, to reach the place where he pierced him back then.
Shen Qingqiu felt sick. There was something wrong in this dream.
“I ask you again. Do you regret it, Shizun?”
//
Shen Qingqiu can't answer whether he regrets betraying him. Luo Binghe wants his Shizun to understand how he suffered, and drags Shen Qingqiu into his dreamscape of the Endless Abyss that night.
The only problem: Shen Qingqiu isn't waking up.

Summary
“I said! Do you yield?”
“W-we do–” The Clan Leader strangled out. Luo Binghe was merciful enough to lower him to the ground, but his fingers maintained the bruising grip on his neck.
... Then-
“‘M not drunk! Cultivators… Hic, cultivators can’t get drunk! You wouldn’t know. We can circulate the alcohol out… with qi.”
Husband? Husband! Luo Binghe dropped the Clan Leader, instantly discarding him like a forgotten toy as his eyes lit up happily.

Summary
Shen Qingqiu had thought he was doing a reasonable job at keeping the plot on track. All he had to do was condemn Luo Binghe's demonic heritage at the Endless Abyss scene, so the tyrannical System wouldn't kill him. Simple. Right? That was, until Luo Binghe decided to confess the truth far before the Immortal Alliance Conference.
Of course Shen Qingqiu knew that Luo Binghe was half demon, it was PIDW’s selling point and literally written on the cover art. Everyone knew that. But Luo Binghe wasn’t meant to tell him!

Summary
Shen Yuan becomes Shen Qingqiu when he transmigrates into Proud Immortal Demon Way as the scum villain. Because the universe is quite literally out to get him, the dead, original Shen Qingqiu never left.
Shen Jiu’s ghost holds onto his grudges, finally learns the truth, and maybe learns to let one or two of them go.
//
Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help seeing the best in people. Really. He couldn’t. If he could help it, he wouldn’t be talking a ghost through their trauma in his backyard.
“What about me? Do you think I want to hurt you?”
“I think you’re too stupid to know that you should.”

Summary
Shen Qingqiu had a secret. So, naturally, it was only a matter of time before he was hit by a truth serum wife plot.
//
“How are you?”
“Horny. Kind of want Binghe to rail me, I guess. But it’s manageable.”
Liu Qingge’s hand on his forehead froze, and he was close enough that Shen Qingqiu could hear his breathing stop. He stared back expressionlessly, the mortification distantly crawling up the back of his neck. Honest One-Horned–
The frustrated scream that he usually vented in his head, came out straight from mouth.
“aaAAAAAHHHH GODDAMNIT AIRPLANE–”

Summary
Geralt gave him a look. It was a good thing Jaskier had grown more adept at reading him; If he could use one word instead of two, he’d use none. Jaskier couldn’t imagine it. He’d always relied on words to communicate the vast, gaping archive of feelings and colours and voices in his chest. Otherwise, where would those stories go?
With no way out, they might just eat him alive.
//
Jaskier copes with artist's block.

Summary
“Hmm… How about this? I won’t stay mad, if I can have this for a few days,” Jing Beiyuan offered, stopping in his tracks and picking the sable up by its scruff. It gawked in surprise, before its expression soured into a glare, scrunching its nose up at him. Jing Beiyuan was a swindler and a cheat. It didn’t really mind if it could do something to help, but he worried Master so much! Wasn’t this just taking advantage?
Wu Xi hesitated. “Alright.”
The sable blinked.
// OR; Qi Ye and its characters, through the eyes of a sable.

Summary
All in all, he wasn’t all that surprised about the ghost. Maybe he could’ve put a little effort into feeling shocked or afraid, but Zhou Zishu was too old and too tired to bother with something like that. He didn’t have any particular opinion on the existence of ghosts in the past, except that if there was such a thing, Zhou Zishu would be the first to know. Why would the universe wait until the afterlife to torture him for his sins, when it could start now?
He always expected to be haunted by his actions. He just didn’t predict it would be quite so literal.
OR; Zhou Zishu moves to an old, rotting house in the middle of nowhere to retire peacefully. He gets harassed by an annoying ghost roommate and a violent feral cat instead, and doesn't hate it half as much as he should.

Summary
Zhou Zishu is employed at the local theme park's haunted house exhibition, and is also sort of on the run.
Someone let a crying eight year old inside, his coworker is definitely stealing, and lesbians keep taking advantage of the dark to obnoxiously make out. Perhaps worst of all is that despite his cheap, horrifically ugly monster mask, Wen Kexing has made it his mission to woo Zhou Zishu before he reaches the end of the maze.

Summary
“Shixiong... Ah!-” He called out as Zhou Zishu abruptly sat up and stood on his feet, dangerously swaying. “Be careful-”
Wen Kexing reached out to steady him, and Zhou Zishu swiftly avoided his touch. Without once looking his way, he coldly walked out.
It felt like a slap in the face.
OR; Wen Kexing was dead, until he wasn't. Zhou Zishu talks to his hallucination. They find grief, consequences, and relief in each other.

Summary
Wen Kexing felt like he couldn't breathe, when Zhou Zishu finally approached the altar. Their marriage was a scheme, and their love was fake, but the excited sparks in Wen Kexing's stomach were not.
“Well, Your Highness? Having second thoughts?” Zhou Zishu lowly whispered, not turning to face him and keeping his sharp eyes straight ahead.
“You’re beautiful.”

Summary
The five times Wei Wuxian proposed, and the one time he let Lan Wangji accept.
["You're hopeless," Wei Wuxian said, breathy and quiet. In the dim glow of the butterflies, Lan Wangji smiled at him. "I adore you. You're beautiful. I want to marry you, and that's not a question, so don't you dare answer yet. That was my internal monologue, and you didn't hear it."
"Mn. I heard nothing."]

Summary
The countless bodies and lies that stretched between them outnumbered the fond memories of their past friendship. The very fabric of who they were was torn apart at the seams, until they learnt to change and outgrow that childish trust and kindness. Bit by bit, Wei Wuxian had to face who he was before the war, and who he became after it. Nie Huaisang was a loose thread, and he didn't know whether to weave him back in, or cut him out.
Wei Wuxian had a heart that didn't know how to trust, and Nie Huaisang had a face that didn't know how to be honest, what else could they do but try?

Summary
They were both just things in the shadows, learning what it was to be a human again. He wasn’t sure he deserved whatever it was they had, but he would fight, bloody and raw, to violently claw his way out of hell, if it meant he could keep it. It was a dark and sinister thing, for two broken people who built their lives on bodies to love.
Wen Kexing would lay his grudges, his sins, and his pride to rest in the ground, if it meant he could keep him.
// The lies he told, and the ones he didn't. OR, Wen Kexing what the fuck were you thinking: The Fic.
