  1. Summary

    This has become an interconnected little AU, but the core of each story is the response to loss, grief, and pain. If our character is determined by how we react when no one is watching, these stories examine how that character bends, breaks, and is reformed in community, in love, and in family. We are always, always more than our trauma.

  2. Summary

    Julian Bashir and Elim Garak both keep secrets hidden deep in their bodies. When Julian proposes a massage, both have to begin to deal with the repercussions of intimacy that goes in a much different direction than sex.

    [Add May 31, 2023: The new title addendum is at the request of this post. I'm joining their call to AO3 to fulfill commitments they have already made to address harassment and racist abuse on the archive. Read more, boost, and get involved; fandom is, at its best, a space to explore all sorts of untold stories but not in ways that undermine the humanity of actual people. Racism isn't cool; it's not a fetish, it's a harm. I encourage you to join in the effort to show OTW that we love the space they hold but not at the cost of people of color. Join us in holding the OTW to their commitment and demanding change that will help keep all of us safer!]

    Summary

    “I’m not sad,” lied Hua Cheng.

    Xie Lian raised his eyebrows and gave a small smile.

    “Ah, San Lang. I thought you would have learned by now. I may be a fool, but it’s not easy to fool me.”

    Upon Hua Cheng's return, he wanted only Xie Lian, and peace. But something is threatening every ghost in his Realm, and dealing with the Council of Savages is still infinitely easier to handle than talking. Because Xie Lian is maddeningly patient. And curious.

    About exactly what Hua Cheng has been doing for the last 800 years.

    Summary

    After his death at the first siege of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is thrown back in time to when he was nine years old, just before Jiang Fengmian took him to Lotus Pier with its wavering affection and unpayable mountain of debts. He decides to take the second chance he has been offered, to live freely and without regrets.

    As it turns out, a life without regrets involves:
    1. Avoiding all attempts to be adopted so you can launch your career as a rogue-cultivating-assassin, while
    2. Juggling a hit-list comprised of the cultivation world’s Who’s Who, and
    3. Desperately missing your not-boyfriend who picked the worst ever timing to confess his undying love for you.

    Murder and mayhem to follow.

    The fiery refusal to accept injustice against themselves, for once, is stirring.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan is glaring at him. That's probably fair.

    The last time they'd seen each other, Wei Ying had been digging through Lan Zhan's garbage. They'd made eye contact over the shredded bags, the week's trash scattered around him like stinky, oversized Lego.

    Lan Zhan's eyes had been wide with horror, and Wei Ying's had been equally wide with feigned innocence. He'd reached out slowly, maintaining the eye contact, and then flipped over the food waste bin full of onion peel and carrot skin as a distraction and slunk off into the night. Probably not his finest moment.

    The irreverence and obliviousness just keeps coming back to me, and it's so good.

    Summary

    “I swear on my life I am not here to hurt you,” came the voice again.

    Silence.

    Xie Lian slowly poked his small ferret head out of the leaf pile.

    “Why are you giving me free eggs?” he asked suspiciously, one of the leaves now balanced on his head like a bamboo hat.

    It is forbidden to ask what a person turns into at night.

    By day, they remain human. When the sun sets: an animal form, unique to each person. Day and night are separate worlds and separate lives. It is the greatest, most unbreakable taboo to know a person’s nightform. And even more dangerous for Xie Lian, as he is cursed.

    But one night in the forest, he meets a fox. A very powerful fox, who seems hell bent on protecting him at all costs. And the very next day, he meets a man calling himself San Lang.

    The forest vibes. THE VIBES. Also, adorable Xie Lian is adorable.
    I keep thinking about this, so I'm going to put it somewhere I don't have to trawl through my history for.

    Summary

    “Is there anything I can do to help?”

    “I dunno,” Wei Ying says, offering up a smile that’s small but genuine. “Can you rewire my brain so I don’t panic when people want to kiss me?”

    “I do not believe so,” Lan Zhan says with exaggerated mournfulness. (Most people would not be able to tell he was doing so, but most people are not Wei Ying.) It would normally get him a laugh, or a snort, or his favorite, a snort laugh, but Wei Ying doesn’t respond. He just sits there and stares at Lan Zhan like he’s doing extremely complicated math in his head and choreographing a nine-person dance number at the same time.

    “Lan Zhan,” he starts, a light sparking in his eyes and his voice coming out rushed, “Lan Zhan, could you—would you be okay with—”

    “Breathe,” Lan Zhan orders gently, squeezing Wei Ying’s hand again.

    Wei Ying rolls his eyes but obeys, inhaling deeply and re-centering himself before he looks Lan Zhan full in the face, shoulders square and chin up. “Will you kiss me?” he asks, like that’s a reasonable thing to ask and not the culmination of over a decade of Lan Zhan’s specific, secret, fervent dreams.

    Or: A journey of self discovery... and the inevitable emotional fallout.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    So, I love fics that a) point out that porn is a performance that doesn't translate into most people's real sex life and b) bluntly acknowledge that sex is weird and hilarious and messy and fun. This does both, *and* it has hilarious Lan Zhan Mental Imagery, *and* there's a delightful OC whom I want more stories about in regards to Lan Zhan in particular.
    Anyway.
    Read this. It's so good. It's hella explicit, given the plot, so, y'know, be aware.
