    Summary

    “What are you saying…” Kenma says slowly. He has never been brave, not really.

    Kuroo’s eyes shine, never for a moment wavering from Kenma’s gaze. “I’m in if you’re in.” He raises his brows in a question, in a proposal—in a dare? “If we’re both not into dating, then we don’t have to worry about falling in love for real, right? What’s the harm?”

    or

    Kuroken gets into a PR relationship and the unthinkable happens. Yes, they fall in love.

    Summary

    There is a man in Hua Cheng's kitchen.

    There is a man in Hua Cheng's fucking kitchen, and he doesn't know who he is.

    Hua Cheng comes home to find a pair of neatly arranged shoes lined by his door, sticking out like a sore thumb. All innocent, as if they belong there.

    Spoiler Alert, they do not.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng crouches down in front of the jam selection and is lost in thought, until a soft touch against his thigh startles him. There’s a small, pudgy hand clutching at his pants.

    “Hello?” Hua Cheng looks at the small, curly child and can’t suppress a smile.

    “Noods.” The kid says, voice quiet but sure.

    “Okay.” Hua Cheng lets out a laugh.

    Or,

    Xie Lian has three kids, two jobs and not a minute to spare.

    Hua Cheng has no kids, lots of time and a crush.

    Summary

    “I have nothing to my name, but still want to make a bet. What do people normally do at the Gambler’s Den if they have no money to use?” Xie Lian asked.

    The smirk on her face grew, but she humored him. “It depends on the way you bet. If you’re at a normal table, you’re out of luck. But if Hua Cheng is in, the bets he takes rarely have anything to do with money.”

    “Hua Cheng?”

    At his confused look, she outright laughed. “Oh boy, you’re in for it.”

    -

    Devastated from the tragedy that befell the small farming village where he lived, Xie Lian travels to Ghost City to ask for help at the Gambler’s Den. What he doesn't expect is for their lord to continue to follow him around, even when Xie Lian’s business in the city is complete.

    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar. 

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.
