    Summary

    “Mu-shidi,” Yue Qingyuan speaks up, taking his seat at the head of the table. “Have you heard of this curse?”

    “I’m afraid not,” Mu Qingfang says, shaking his head. “A curse of compulsion, with dire consequences for disobedience… I’ve heard of many similar things, but not exactly this.”

    “For all we know, the perpetrator invented this little trap just for us,” Shen Qinqiu says, tapping his fan dangerously. “Tailormade to ruin us.”

    “I have no secrets to hide,” Liu Qingge says, and lifts his chin challengingly at Shen Qingqiu, who bristles in return. “Do you?”

    “Ah, Liu-shidi, if you don’t have any secrets then you should get some real quick!” Shang Qinghua says with bright, manic cheer, his smile and his eyes a little too wide. “The consequences for not meeting the curse’s requirements would be very very bad!”

    -

    The Peak Lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect are stricken with a curse that forces them to reveal a secret, and they all must submit to this curse or suffer the consequences...

    Yue Qingyuan wishes he were anywhere but here.

    Summary

    There is a boy digging a hole.

    There should be nothing special about him. He is one of many children digging holes, each and every one eager to get a spot on Cang Qiong Mountain. At a distance, there was black hair and shabby clothes.

    Yue Qingyuan could not look away from him.

    -

    In a world where they are the same age, Shen Yuan is going to try his very best to become the best friend of his favorite protagonist and prevent the blackening of Luo Binghe! Only, there is a problem.

    Shen Yuan looks way too much like the scum villain himself, Shen Qingqiu.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    He is passed out in a corner of the Angel’s Share, arm thrown over his eyes to block out the bright light of the sun shining down through the clouds. The storm barrier falling, crumbling, dissolving to reveal the light of Celestia burning through him.

    He is curled up on the floor of a crawlspace within the church, thin tent flaps whipping around with the blizzard raging outside. The sounds of people screaming, crying, children laughing, children dying. There are hymns in the church below him, and they reverberate through the walls.

    He is in a warm pocket with a steady heartbeat behind him. He is so small in a world that’s so large. He’s just been born and he’s already dying.

    Summary

    She couldn’t believe she thought the worst thing that could happen was embarrassing herself in front of rich people. Hell, she thought the worst would be that Yue Qingyuan would see her, make some quick mental connections, and get her ass fired!

    No, the reality was much worse. Fuck, Mobei was going to kill her.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua is not stupid.

    It does not take a genius to know what it means when you ask a servant where your lord has left to and they readily supply the name of an exclusive brothel in between the two realms. Especially when it's after your utterly disastrous first time together.

    So he goes away for a bit to clear his head. And promptly gets kidnapped.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan’s careful preparations to fake his own demise are rudely interrupted by actual death, and that should be the end of his story.

    But in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, nothing is ever quite that simple.

    Or: Shen Qingqiu dies while Luo Binghe is in the Abyss, and all his hard work goes to waste when the half-demon follows his original’s cold-hearted career path to the throne. However, fate (and the System) are not finished with the Demon Lord yet. And what better to throw at him than traitors, unknown diseases, and odd, suspicious civilians who know more than they should?

    Summary

    As a young disciple, Luo Binghe meets a kind yet mysterious young master who takes a shining to him.

    As an emperor, Luo Binghe is gifted a captive.

    The poacher bows low and retreats into the shadows for a moment as Luo Binghe watches him with a bored look from his throne, one leg swung carelessly over the other.

    Feathers strew the cage, and the figure looks human. It’s screeching and cursing, voice broken, and Luo Binghe does not feel a single thing stir within him. Sweating under the unimpressed look, the demon reaches a scaly hand between the bars of the cage and tugs at the sack over the creature’s head, yanking harshly.

    Time ceases for a moment; Luo Binghe’s stomach drops through the ground. A battered man looks up at him, deep grey eyes widening as their gazes meet. Luo Binghe’s chest clenches, and his hands stiffen at the sight. His heart thumps loudly in his throat, and the air escapes from his lungs, leaving him in a stunned silence.

    “Binghe?” rasps a familiar voice.

    Summary

    “What, exactly, do you intend to do with those children?” The clear voice cut through the crowd.

    Wearing half a mountain’s worth of dirt and a patchy beard, the stranger reminded Six Balls of the Undead Bearded Bandit from pa’s bedtime stories. His hair fell in tangles to his waist, and bare, blackened feet poked out under the dirt-crusted robes.

    He looked… He looked like a real hero who’d just rolled out of a fresh grave. The coolest, scariest kind of hero was the fresh-out-of-a-grave kind, in Six Balls’s opinion; that was when they were about to wreck the bloodiest vengeance on anything standing in their path.

    “Children?!” yelled one of the stupider humans, who clearly didn’t know the best way to talk to an undead hero. (Don’t, if you can help it.) “These demons slaughtered six good men!”

    Or: When Shen Qingqiu wakes up in his new plant body exactly one day later than he does in canon, it throws the plot in a whole new direction.

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen pauses before he speaks. He often does. “A-Yao, will you…?”

    There are any number of things that Lan Xichen might be about to say. He might be about to say, “A-Yao, will you cook breakfast while I bathe in the river?” But then, there is a gravity to his tone, and a flush on his cheeks. So perhaps it will be, “A-Yao, will you do that thing with your tongue?” Or even more thrillingly, “A-Yao, will you teach me how to do that thing with your tongue?”

    Lan Xichen does not say any of these things. He says, “A-Yao, will you marry me? If we both survive the war, will you marry me?”

    .

    Lan Xichen proposes before the war. Somehow, through the property of transitivity, Wei Wuxian becomes Meng Yao’s problem to solve.

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

    Summary

    “What is Gege looking for in a spouse?” San Lang was clearly in a teasing mood. It was no use being flustered. Xie Lian’s only option was to play along.

    “They’d have to be kind.” He started thoughtfully. “And they couldn’t be too particular, I lead a pretty simple life and I can’t imagine that changing very much, even after I get married…. Oh! And they’d have to get along with my kids.”

    San Lang abruptly started coughing. “Gege has kids?” He choked out.

    Banyue and Pei Xiu find Xie Lian before he can leave them in the desert. All of a sudden, Xie Lian is a single father of two.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng was getting better at controlling his outbursts. He didn’t often bother, but he wanted a good deal on the saffron silk so he bit back the first furious bellow that threatened to escape him.

    “He’s dead," he bit out. “At the siege at Nightless City.” He didn’t clarify which siege as old man Guo seemed to be one of the ten or so remaining people in the world who didn’t know Wei Wuxian had been the Yiling Patriarch.

    He expected condolences and to be honest it would be nice, just once, if someone’s response to that revelation was something other than ‘well, good.’ Jiang Cheng’s anger at Wei Wuxian burned hot and cold. Most of the time he wanted to stab him properly. Other times the thing he couldn’t forgive was Wei Wuxian tearing free of Lan Wangji’s grip.

    Old man Guo just blinked in confusion.

    “Is he?” He scratched the back of his neck. “I must have been mistaken. Well that explains it, I suppose. I’d wondered why he didn’t recognize me.”

    Or: that one where Wei Wuxian doesn't die at the Siege of Nightless City and Jiang Cheng finds him first.
