    Summary

    “But I’m not royalty,” Hua Cheng protests, though he leans into the sensations on his scalp. “I told you, Ghost King is just a made up phrase, it doesn’t mean anything.”

    “Maybe so,” Xie Lian agrees, “but San Lang married a prince, did he not?” His hand with the red string tied around it travels down to where his coral earring is braided into Hua Cheng’s hair. He kisses the end of the braid before continuing, “Doesn’t that make San Lang my princess?”

    Summary

    “Some pain demands to be felt, Your Highness,” Hua Cheng said.

    It made Xie Lian sad to think that he was something of an authority on the subject.

     

    Or: Hua Cheng has grand plans for Xie Lian's eight hundred and eighth birthday. But their pasts have plans for them too.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng isn't sick. He hasn't been sneezing, his throat doesn't hurt, and he hasn't been having headaches that pound his brain in painful throbs. He is perfectly fine, thank you very much!

    He wouldn't have time to be anyway. He's got a surprise to prepare for his gege's birthday, and he intends to get it done, whether his body decides to betray him or not. Xie Lian's gone for a few days, so he has to make use of that short window of time if he doesn't want to be suspicious and be done in time.

    He just... needs to be careful and not mess things up. Maybe ignore how dizzy he's getting too. Grin and bear it when Xie Lian and he video chats...

    He can do this. He can totally do this...

    Summary

    When Xie Lian woke up that morning, he found five of his husband in their kitchen.

    “What,” he said. “What.”

    “Ah, gege is awake.”

    In unison, the four other forms exclaimed, "Gege?!”

    Summary

    For now, he gives in to the pressure, lets it pull him down until he’s nestled on the stone floor next to his God. Lets himself rest his head, his empty eye socket throbbing like his still heart once did, and remains there. The cool brush of stone arms around him are never enough, but he knows it’s more than he ever has deserved.

    ——

    A very self indulgent fic where Hua Cheng finds comfort in the strong arms of his husband.

    Summary

    Nearly a year after Hua Cheng's return, Xie Lian lives a quiet, contented life at Puqi Shrine. Then a golden light cleaves the stillness when a Heavenly Scroll arrives:

    By the will of the Heavenly Court, the Prince of Xianle is summoned to audience within one hour to advise upon matters of celestial security. Attendance is required.
    —Acting Commander of the Celestial Realm, etc., Feng Xin

    “Looks like they couldn’t do without you for long,” Hua Cheng said lightly. But there was no teasing in it.

    “I suppose I knew it would come,” Xie Lian said. “Eventually.”

    (In which Xie Lian is pulled back to Heaven, and he learns the limits of mercy—and what love looks like when it’s powerful enough to terrify the heavens.)

    Summary

    [Fic contains spoilers for the entirety of TGCF]

    So yes, technically Hua Cheng himself took the childbearing pill, and technically Xie Lian then… Fulfilled the other role necessary in that equation. A few times. But really, it was only a joke! It had all been in good fun. Something to make Xie Lian laugh and blush.

    This isn't what Hua Cheng intended.

    ——

    Child-Bearing Pills from ghost city only work on ghosts, but they do work. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng find this out the hard way.

    Summary

    As his hands tighten in Hua Cheng's clothes, keeping him close, his brain works to process a fundamental truth: Xie Lian has done without for so long that he could lose everything in the blink of an eye and recover from the loss just as quickly, only – that does not apply to Hua Cheng. And hasn't that always been the complete truth of his life? Sometimes, it only takes one person.

    Or, perhaps messing around with the child-bearing pills hadn't been the brightest idea in hindsight.

    Summary

    Xie Lian bends his head low to whisper to some of the butterflies which have alighted upon his fingers. Hua Cheng smiles to see it; they are, of course, Xie Lian’s to command, just as is their master. The butterflies flap their wings in concert, as if reacting to the feeling of Xie Lian’s breath, and flutter away.

    Hua Cheng’s smile disappears as soon as they do. Xie Lian’s hands, no longer obscured by gossamer wings, are scored with strings of red pearls. Blood.

    In which Xie Lian figures out what, exactly, inspired Hua Cheng’s wraith butterflies. Neither he nor Hua Cheng take the revelation particularly well.

    Summary

    A nameless soldier is dying on a Xianle battlefield.

    Around him are strewn the bodies of many enemies, slashed and gored. Deep wounds paint his skin in weeping crimson. Arrows sprout from his chest like an unholy garden.

    “Dianxia, be well,” the dying youth prays. “Dianxia, I'm sorry.”

    Xie Lian finds out about a unique holiday celebrated by ghosts: the Death Day parade. But what does it mean that Hua Cheng has not mentioned it at all? Is Xie Lian ready to face the first death of his most devoted believer?

    Summary

    “You’re going to stay anyway.“

    It’s not a question. Both Feng Xin and Mu Qing have tried to convince him to join them in heaven but he won’t. Shi Qingxuan knows they have little chance of convincing him to eschew solitude, Xie Lian’s mind is not easily changed once he’s decided.

    “I need to be here when he comes back,” Xie Lian says, dropping the cherry back into the basket. He seems to have lost whatever appetite he had a moment ago. “I want him to know that I waited.”

    Summary

    So there was this jar, and it had so much peanut butter still in it, and when his fox nose scented it and didn’t catch any poison or spoilage, what was he supposed to do? Not avail himself of this gift? No. He shoved his delicate little snout right in there and got to licking, but, you know… Elegantly. Definitely not snarfing and making horrible little fox sounds and rolling around on the ground while he went ham on the jar. Sure, he had to work a little bit to get at the last of it, but anything good is worth working for, right? So finally, triumphant, no longer starving, and maybe a little thirsty now from eating half a cup of peanut butter in about two minutes, he’d tried to remove his head from the jar.

    Operative word tried.

    Or: Wei Ying gets stuck. Lan Zhan helps.

    Summary

    When the thick black fog of the curse clears, there’s a child standing in front of Xie Lian. He’s small—he’s so, so small—and as soon as he sees Xie Lian, he wraps his arms around himself and hunches his shoulders like he’s trying to make himself even smaller. There is not a single spark of recognition in that wide, wild eye.

    “...San Lang?!”

    When a curse turns Hua Cheng into a child again, it's up to Xie Lian to take care of him. It's a task easier said than done, when Hua Cheng's memories have regressed along with the rest of him.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is glad he doesn't have a heartbeat. "Ah, I see now," he teases. "Gege just wants to snuggle with me, I understand, ahaha."

    Hua Cheng is joking, but Xie Lian is conspicuously silent. Hua Cheng ducks closer to look at his face. His expression of embarrassment is so cute, his eyebrows high curves over wide evasive eyes. Again the urge to kiss him. Again resistance. Hua Cheng clears his throat. "Ah… I was right??"

    --

    Xie Lian catches a cold.

    Summary

    There’s something building up inside Hua Cheng, a heap of troublesome desires. They’re inconvenient, shameful, crude. They make his straightforward nature complicated. They’d be better off sealed away forever, if it weren’t for one big problem.

    When Xie Lian kisses him hard enough, Hua Cheng slips into a trance.

    Summary

    [Spoilers for All 5 Books]

    “Don’t leave me,” Xie Lian begs, “San Lang, stay. Please.”


    After the final battle, Hua Cheng stays with Xie Lian. It should be good. Xie Lian should be grateful. He should be happy.

    Instead, he's terrified. Maybe it would have been easier for Xie Lian to believe in something he couldn't see than to trust in the strength of a silent, flickering ghost fire.
