Summary
Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”
Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”
“Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”
“Like what?”
Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”
After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.
Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.
Feng Xin thinks he might die.

Summary
“Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”
“I think so,” Sizhui says.
“To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.
“Yes,” Sizhui says.
“So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”
Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.
(Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

Summary
“So, about your, uh… girlfriend,” Monster Kid stammers. “Are you guys, like… fighting? She’s way scarier than usual…”
From across the schoolyard Susie shoves Snowy out of her way remorselessly, almost crushing the apple juice in her hand from the might of her grip. Everyone stares fearfully as she passes.
“I’m working on it,” Kris says.
Kris has never been witness to a functional relationship, but they'll fight tooth and nail to set their own example.

Summary
Wei Wuxian sits up a little further. Then instantly regrets it. “Go to bed, Jiang Cheng,” he groans. “I’ll live.”
“Will you?” Jiang Cheng says. “Because if you die in my guest room, Gusu Lan will have my head.”
He and Jin Ling really are the same person, sometimes. Wei Wuxian considers pointing out, again, that he is nowhere near dying, but he lets it go. He’s tired. And it’s apparently not helping. “Not all of Gusu Lan,” he says mildly. “I think the elders would send gifts.”
(Or: an unexpected stay in Lotus Pier.)

HR Case File #1713C
Compiled by Lan XichenNote: Upon receipt of an anonymous complaint, I have compiled and examined the following documents to determine whether any company policies on workplace relationships have been violated, and the results are inconclusive.
Subject: Concerning Dress Code Violation
Wei Wuxian,
Multiple employees have raised a concern with your attire today. Please be advised that T-shirts are not in line with our employee dress code. In particular, a T-shirt that says “Freak in the Spreadsheets” is not appropriate. I am attaching a copy of our dress code policy to this email. Read it carefully and ensure your clothing is in compliance going forward.
Regards,
Lan Wangji

Summary
The Hualian Cherry Magic AU that no one asked for but I need to fuel my soul.
To Xie Lian’s utter dismay, the jolt as the elevator started to move again caused Hua Cheng to lose his footing and fall into him, practically pinning him into the corner. There was no avoiding the deep tones of Hua Cheng’s thoughts, somehow even deeper than his voice was in real life.
"I’m touching him."
There was a slight panic laced into the thought, as though he was absolutely mortified. Xie Lian figured that made sense. After all, Hua Cheng had his reputation as the office’s star employee to uphold, and he doubted that being seen in such proximity to Xie Lian would do much good for him. The next rush of thoughts was just as panicked as the first, a tone that he had never heard his coworker use out loud before.
"He smells so good, what is that? Flowers? Does he use a floral shampoo? Fuck that’s adorable."

Or, Xie Lian gains the ability to read minds on his 30th birthday and discovers that his coworker is crushing on him, hard.

Hua Cheng is awake deep in the night when Xie Lian has a nightmare. When he wakes, he tells Hua Cheng about his parents-- one of the few things he wasn't there to witness Xie Lian endure. Hua Cheng is devastated by this revelation, and can't contain his grief.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have both been through SO MUCH shit that they never discuss with each other so this fic is me forcing them to talk about it.

Summary
It is a weird thing to wake up and realise that for the first time in 800 years, you are no longer in love. Hua Cheng felt it even before he opened his eyes, could taste it in the back of his throat. Even the air around him felt different: stale, and with a strange odour to it. With his eyes still closed, he took stock of his other mental facilities, and it all came back in order, except—
Except that for the first time in 800 years, he thinks of Xie Lian and feels nothing.
(in which Hua Cheng's devotion gets stolen, and no one is happy about it.)

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—” -

Summary
When it comes to something like this, there are a few important steps:
First, Xie Lian makes sure that his husband is busy. Something like that makes it sound so terrible, but it’s not—it’s really not! It’s just that Hua Cheng can be overprotective, and if he saw this he would react poorly. Xie Lian would rather spare him that.
Second, Xie Lian puts Ruoye away. The poor thing never wants to go. He has to tie it somewhere safe and placate it with gentle touches and soothing words. Even so, it still lashes its ends and strains after him until he leaves the room. It will cling too tightly when he returns.
Third, Xie Lian goes somewhere quiet and familiar. It can be the armory, or their private baths, or even the shrine near Puqi Village. It is never their bedroom. It is never their cottage.
Fourth, Xie Lian draws his sword.
Fifthly, finally, Xie Lian takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and carves his own skin open.

Summary
Carefully, almost in loving reverence, Hua Cheng gathered Xie Lian's foot and proceeded to bandage it expertly. Then, he examined his legs and arms for any cut or bruise – cleaning the cuts, pressing his lips on each bruise.
Xie Lian gasped, eyes wide, the trembling in his body increasing ten folds. His burning cheeks were turning to lava, frying his brain in the process. He couldn't understand what was happening. Why was Hua Cheng acting this way? It didn't make any sense!
"S-San Lang, ah!?"
After getting rid of a spirit in a neighboring village, Xie Lian attempts to return home fast enough, but ends up injuring himself along the way. He doesn't dare call Hua Cheng who went back to Ghost City, knowing he is busy. But maybe that's a mistake.
Maybe, just maybe, there's a chance the Ghost King actually wants to help him out.

Summary
Val may be a fucking monster, but he’s a monster that Angel knows. He’s a monster that Angel understands. Angel isn’t stupid; he made the choice to sign with Valentino because he was the only overlord that made sense for Angel’s lifestyle — for what Angel wanted out of Hell.
But now you’re tellin’ him that his soul is owed to some random fucking jackass who swindled Val in a game of cards? How can that be fair? How can that be something that’s just allowed to happen?
(In which, Angel's contract is acquired by a new overlord — Hell's very own Gambling Demon, and they both get more from the relationship than either of them bargained for.)
