    Summary

    “You don’t even count as human, and you still want to become an immortal? You’ve missed the optimal time to begin cultivating – what can you become? Even if you muddle along with him, that charlatan Wu Yanzi, he isn’t even guaranteed to want you.”

    Shen Jiu growled, wrenching out of Qiu Jianluo’s grip to hurl an ink stone at him. He missed.

    Shen Jiu saw the change in Qiu Jianluo’s face instantly, the man’s hand rising up and blocking out the glow of candlelight. His towering shadow was Qiong Qi given flesh.

    Shen Jiu’s body froze instinctively as he readied himself for a blow.

    But it never came, because when Shen Jiu managed to look up, all he could see was a man’s broad back swathed in black robes, his grip tight around Qiu Jianluo’s wrist.

    “Qiu-gongzi, what could ever make you think that a charlatan like me wouldn’t want this boy as his disciple?”

    Or: Shen Yuan transmigrates into Wu Yanzi’s body and gets followed around by a feral teenager called Shen Jiu… who is kind of obsessed with him.

    Summary

    “Would the honorable Mobei-Jun agree?”

    “WHAT!?”

    There’s a loud crash, and everyone’s attention instantly flicks over to Shang Qinghua standing off the side. He seems to have dropped some large platter of something - he should not be doing something so lowly as serving things, he’s not a servant any longer. But it is very typical of him to mindlessly reach out and start doing whatever unfinished tasks he sees before him, grumbling all the while as if someone is forcing him into it. Right now, he looks gobsmacked. Pale and wide eyed and gaping in shock, looking shaken to his core.

    “Marriage!?” Shang Qinghua demands, his voice high and strangled.

    -

    Several misunderstandings happen in a row.

    Summary

    Laurence had been at first bemused by Tharkay’s quiet vanity towards his hair and then later nearly transfixed by it.

    Laurence and Tharkay, and the ways in which they allow themselves to touch.

    Summary

    It all started because Laurence had come into the sitting room when Granby was visiting Tharkay’s estate, mildly cross and holding Tharkay’s greatcoat, which was rumpled from lying in a damp heap in the entryway for two whole days before Laurence noticed it. He had entered the room while shaking it out and folding it, as such a fine piece of clothing deserved, and saying something chiding, along the lines of, “Tenzing, did you never learn you must care for your things if you wish for them to last--?”

    “Ah,” Tharkay said, slouching in his practiced way and tilting his sly smile at Granby, “here’s the missus.”

    Summary

    The prompt contained the following sentence: “Laurence is so repressed and Tharkay so self-contained that it sometimes feels like it would take an outlandish set of circumstances to get them to open up about their feelings.” I absolutely agree, and one of the challenges I’ve found with writing these two is that it often feels out-of-character for them to talk about their emotions or be verbally demonstrative, two things which I, personally, enjoy reading very much. I wanted to force them to say every tender, horny, romantic thing they might be feeling deep down inside their repressed 19th century minds, and the only way I could think of doing it is magic, inspired by This_is_Sere’s wonderful fic “Aperol Switch.”

    Thank you to VerdetCadet and sere(This_is_Sere) for their excellent work as beta readers!

    To punch_kicker15, I hope this fic fulfills your request and I truly hope you enjoy it. Thank you for such a well thought out request!

    Summary

    "Is there something Tianlang-Jun needs?" Mobei-Jun grits out between his teeth. He is speaking like this more and more frequently recently.

    "I simply desire the chance to teach someone younger than me the proper way to woo a human, considering I'm one of the few demons who has ever managed it." That gives Mobei-Jun pause. Tianlang-Jun notices. "Considering the only models you may have for this kind of relationship would be myself and that son of mine, I had assumed you may want help. Unless, of course, you would prefer a relationship more like the one my son has built with his teacher."

    "You have successfully courted a human."

    "Famously, I'd say. Or infamously, I suppose, depending on who you're asking. But it certainly did happen. You can look to the emperor of our realm, if you have any doubt."

    -

    Tianlang-Jun comes to visit the Northern Desert Palace. Tianlang-Jun is very bored. Tianlang-Jun finds a way to entertain himself.

    Summary

    Unimpressed, Lang Qianqiu crossed his arms. “Really, you should look at yourself. All she said was that we cardinal martial gods would have to share a palace for now; I don’t know why you’re making this into such an affair. It will take time and merits we don’t have to finish rebuilding the Heavenly Capital. For now, can’t we just accept that with so few palaces it’s only fair that we share?”

    Pei Ming, Mu Qing, Feng Xin, and Quan Yizhen all shouted, “NO!” in anguished unison.

    aka: a fic elaborating on Ch. 251: Aiyah! Cave of Ten Thousand Gods: "It was the truth, for the Upper Heavens had suffered great damage previously, and so a number of gods had to secretly beg the head of the Ghost City for help."

    Summary

    “Looks like I owe Black Water some money,” Hua Cheng said lightly, unprompted.

    Xie Lian blinked. “What does that mean…?” he asked without thinking.

    Hua Cheng threw him a sly smile. “Gege approves of my spying now?”

    “No, certainly not,” he quickly answered, nearly biting his tongue. “They’ll tell me when they’re ready,” he added firmly.

    Summary

    Yin Yu never expected to wake up again.
    When he does so as a small ghost fire, he finds himself stuck with Quan Yizhen (who has been nurturing his soul) until he can take on a more stable form and begin his afterlife anew.

    Or: Yin Yu's mortifying ordeal of being held gently in the hands of someone he convinces himself he hates, but definitely doesn't. If no paths are bound, there might even be healthy communication!

    Summary

    “And I said something like, ‘If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you try?’”

    Quan Yizhen stood up so quickly that his chair clattered over. “Yes!” he cried, hands slammed flat on the table in his excitement. “Yes, Shixiong, that’s what you said! Did you remember?!”

    “…No, it just…” Yin Yu stammered, unprepared for that reaction. “Isn’t that a normal way to respond?” He doesn’t think that way, Xie Lian had told him. He scrambled for a better answer, gesturing for Quan Yizhen to sit back down. How did one explain sarcasm to someone like this?

    -----

    When Yin Yu returns to the world as a ghost, he’s forgotten everything about his former life. Has he been given a chance to start over again, or will the pain of the past just catch up with him?

    Summary

    Head disciples Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge are caught by slavers and locked in a woodshed. It’s a rat trap meant for rat boys, and Liu Qingge isn’t one. Shen Qingqiu would’ve been pleased at his humiliation, if he wasn’t certain that this—either the trap or Liu Qingge himself—would utterly destroy him.

    Somehow, they make it out as friends.

    Summary

    Brunch went south about two steps away from the front entrance of Shen Yuan’s favorite cafe; a place with free wifi, big squishy chairs, custom mimosa pitchers, and an endless avocado toast special. He arrived bright and early with his computer bag under one arm and the intention of staking out one of the solo tables in back for the rest of the morning until he’d finished his current editing project.

    The project in question was the latest offering from Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky after he broke out from webnovels, so endless mimosas and carbohydrates would be necessary for Shen Yuan to make it through with his sanity and blood pressure intact. Shang Qinghua was late on his most recent draft, but the earliest chapters had been finalized so he could get started on that at least.

    However, his phone pinged just as he reached the entrance, and Shen Yuan made the fatal mistake of pausing to check the message.

    Shen Jiu: Too late now, but brace yourself. We’re inside. Qi-ge set us both up.

    Or: that one where Shen Yuan lost his break up, but Luo Binghe is about to kill it on the rebound.

    Summary

    “You want to know what happened.” Luo Binghe is mimicking him, answering Mobei-jun’s statement style of questioning with his own. It’s mildly infuriating.

    “My recollection of the event is… Vague,” Mobei-jun admits. “I hoped that Junshang could provide clarity on the matter.”

    “Yes, I think there are a number of things that need clarifying,” Luo Binghe says coldly, rising from his throne. A wave of killing intent rolls off him, and Mobei-jun is momentarily stunned; he hasn’t felt it directed towards him in a long time. “Such as how long Mobei-jun has been harbouring a God in his house.”

    --

    Mobei-jun looks for answers and finds more than he bargained for.
