    Summary

    Xie Lian startles at the voice so hard that his bag of scraps promptly falls out of his grasp, scattering rubbish across the ground. Usually, Xie Lian is far more adept at repressing such severe reactions, but he whips his head around as if he could find who had spoken despite the fact he knows it had been only for his ears to hear.

    A prayer.

    (Or, Xie Lian receives a prayer for the first time in decades.)

    Summary

    Lacking inspiration and tired of life in the city, Hua Cheng signs up for a rural farming initiative and goes to Puqi Farm with the expectation of nothing other than learning about tending sheep and growing potatoes.

    He'd never expected to find love in the eccentric farmer he's staying with. When the summer starts fading into autumn, he questions whether he has the strength to leave the paradise he's found.

    Summary

    Xie Lian had never gambled just for fun before, never been hand-fed grapes in someone’s lap, never exchanged shy, cheeky kisses over shameless little dares.

    Then again, there were a great many things Xie Lian had never done, things he hadn’t even imagined lay within the realm of possibility.

    But playful dares become soft confessions, soft confessions bloom into tender kisses, and soon a devoted ghost finds himself caught between endless reverence… and a ravenous desire so consuming he can no longer hold back.

    “I mean…” Xie Lian fidgeted again, flustered now. “I know people kiss. And things happen. But I always thought… a kiss was just pressing your mouths together? Like this-” and he mimed a quick, closed-lip peck into the air, as if kissing an invisible plum.
    Hua Cheng made a sound like he was being strangled.

    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

    Summary

    Chu Wanning knows his place. In the cultivation world, it’s a lofty one, his abilities putting him high above others. In the hearts of those around him, it’s inverse. He is too cold for anyone to look at him with warmth, much less touch him.

    That knowledge is tested when he's sent on an assignment with Mo Ran to exorcise a lust-fuelled ghost gone mad.

    “You’re fucking kidding me,” Mo Ran swears as his eyes sweep over the two long gashes along Chu Wanning’s side, his face complicated. “What, you were just going to rinse this off?”

    “I can take care of myself,” Chu Wanning tries, though he catches a glimpse of Mo Ran’s hands and finds himself craving their touch. As if reading his mind, Mo Ran reaches forward with his other hand, his fingertips brushing the skin right beside the claw marks.

    To his utter mortification, Chu Wanning lets out a small but audible whine. Mo Ran’s fingers pause and Chu Wanning hopes whatever poison must be seeping through his bloodstream, kills him.
