    Summary

    “Marley.” Ilya says evenly, suddenly knowing he can actually breathe. He had a plan and he knew what he needed to do. And he couldn’t do it from the locker room bench. “If he is very injured, if he cannot play again, if he is very bad, I will kill you. I will kill you painfully.”
    Cliff gapes at him.

    In which the hit that Cliff Marleau had on Shane Hollander goes a little different. For one, they’re in Boston. For another, Ilya realizes he might be panicking? Which is probably not something to do in the middle of a game. And, oh yeah, he just outed both himself and his not-boyfriend to an entire locker room of hockey players.

    But that’s okay, because while Boston may be vicious, they do take care of their own. And they quickly realize that their captain’s happiness and willingness to stay with the Bears is tied to Shane Hollander. The solution is easy, they’ll just have to make Shane Hollander a Bear.

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng did not give a lot of thought to his death anymore, far too busy worrying about sect problems and nephew problems and dead brothers coming back to life problems.

    He was absolutely sure of one thing however— it would be his hatred that would kill him in the end.

    And thus, the absolute fucking irony that here he was, choking to death on his love, was un-fucking-believable and typical, really, of the shit-show that had been his life.

    Of course, not even death was going to be easy for him.

    Summary

    There was a new curse making its way through the cultivation world.

    It was a strange one - curses were meant to be dark and evil, they take root into one’s soul and threaten their very existence. They are painful, dangerous and binding.

    In this case, perhaps only the last descriptor would be true.

    The ‘Lover’s call’ they call it. Jiang Chang wants to unleash Zidian on whoever came up with that name. It made the curse sound romantic, like some sort of poetic whisper for cultivators that spin their minds into excitement rather than the dismissal it necessitates. It was a joke.

    *************

    Fate, in its' eternal boredom and stubborn willfulness, meddles with Jiang Cheng's life once more. Perhaps this time it allows him peace.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen, as always, was a picture of poise in his blue and white robes, the usual crispness of which was softened into a golden hue against the lanterns. The white ribbon was still stark against the others hair, and lay neatly and flat against his brow. However, this expected and peaceful demeanour was marred by the uncharacteristic brown staining the man's sleeves, as though he had been cradling an earthen pot covered in mud. There was also a lone strand of hair that had escaped the confines of his ribbon and gently caressed the others eyes. That alone was enough for Jiang Cheng to release any pending frustrations at being disturbed at such an hour.

    *************

    When Lan Xichen unexpectedly arrives at Lotus Pier with an injured Lan Wangji and a feverish toddler, Jiang Cheng isn't prepared for the change this brings.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng wasn’t a cold-hearted asshole as it might have seemed. Sure, he had to put up a strong and strict act for everyone else, since he was a sect leader now. He had responsibilities after all. But after watching both his siblings fall in love and marry, he felt lonely. He wanted to be loved by someone as well.

     

    aka Jiang Cheng has the feels, but is too busy to face them, until he gets cursed in a night-hunt and is forced to have Lan Xichen help him.

    Upon entering seclusion, Lan Xichen finds himself a mysterious companion who haunts his temporary residence.

    "It isn't hard to notice the new shadow that moved in. In fact, it is far too easy.

    A stranger who might be a serial killer, or else why would he be out there so late?

    Jiang Cheng casts a discreet glance at him. The man gingerly probes his temple with his fingers, a lost expression written all over his face.

    (have the ability to be so tender. will you grasp my weary heart with them?)

    The Sunshot Campaign is a filthy, glory-less thing, cultivators and soldiers reduced to depraved beasts fighting for the chance to live without the oppression of the Qishan Wen Sect. Lan Xichen is tired of raising his sword without knowing how this story will end, the infernal stink of war and how ghosts cling to him and his shoulders weigh down with responsibilities.

    In the elusive former sect heir of Yunmeng Jiang, now a healer whose hands are scarred instead of his sword, Lan Xichen finds peace and a glimpse of happiness.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua let out a long, shaky breath. “Right. Okay. Sure. No problem. I can work with that. That’s fine.” He shifted the baby in his arms, looking down at the tiny, squirming face, the damp lashes clinging together. “You hear that? As long as you make it to the sect, everything’s good. Easy quest conditions. No trauma required.”

    Luo Binghe made a faint snuffling sound, unimpressed.

    Shang Qinghua’s smile collapsed almost instantly. “Oh, gods, what am I saying?” He scrubbed a hand over his face, leaving another smear of drying blood. “I’m not qualified for this! I can barely keep myself alive half the time! You need—uh—you need a responsible, kindhearted woman from a humble background with good soup-making skills, not a chronically overworked peak lord-slash-spy!”

    The baby responded by making a small, gurgling noise that sounded alarmingly like agreement.

    “Don’t sass me,” Shang Qinghua muttered. “You’re, like, twelve minutes old.”

    ---

    Just another fic where Shang Qinghua ruins canon and gains a son.

    Summary

    It was an unconventional setup, all things considered. An arrangement made when they were young. It was never something Lan Xichen complained about, but maybe he had been too complacent. He shouldn't have let the distance and the silence go for so long.

    “I will not waste your time,” said Jiang Wanyin, cutting to the chase. “I wish to dissolve our engagement.”

    And there it was.

    Summary

    This was torture. Lan Xichen was torturing him. He really had been scheming all this time, Jiang Cheng decided, scheming to torture him with perverted and shameless fantasies until he went mad from sleep deprivation.

    Well that fucker had another thing coming. This marked the third day since his last visit to the Cloud Recesses. Four more days. Then he’d return for their standing appointment.

    Either to fuck Lan Xichen or kill him. He’d decide when he got there.

    He lifted his head enough to finish the wine, dropped it back on the table, then hiccuped.

    * * *

    four days later. . .

    When Jiang Cheng sobered up, he realized his fuck or kill plan was insane. Obviously he couldn’t do either of those things, no matter how much he wanted to—not that he wanted to fuck Lan Xichen. He didn’t. Obviously. That had been the wine talking.

    Obviously.

    (or: A very dense Jiang Cheng misinterprets Lan Xichen’s painfully subtle proposal of courtship by convincing himself that Lan Xichen must be plotting something nefarious. (Why else would he waste his time drinking tea and taking strolls with a bad-tempered, bullheaded asshole he barely knows??))

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the novel, the Lan elders cite an old Confucian rule in refusing to acknowledge the unwitnessed marriage between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji: it is inappropriate, they say, for a younger brother to marry before the elder.

    In the face of mounting attempts to drive Wei Wuxian from the Cloud Recesses, and rampant infighting for the position of Jin sect leadership, Jiang Cheng proposes marriage to Lan Xichen. The marriage, he says, will cement their allyship and bring stability to the crumbling coalition of the Great Sects.

    Unfortunately, the new couple just do not get along.

    Xicheng enter a marriage of convenience. After much strife, they agree to try anew. Eight years pass in peaceful co-existence, but they eventually capitulate to requests from elders to annul the marriage and beget heirs. However, they soon realize that it's not so easy to put eight years of marriage behind them. Falling repeatedly into bed together, they begin to navigate a shameful, secret relationship.
