Summary
“If you awake to a knife at your throat, if monsters dig their claws into you, if death comes knocking at your door... call out my name.
“Adeptus Xiao.”
His name is oft spoken - by merchants fearful of the ghosts of Wuwang Hill as a superstition to ward them off, by travelers to Wangshu Inn paying respect, or by lost souls pleading for salvation at Guyun.
His is a name meant to exist on the winds from here to perpetuity, long after this body has worn out, for it is a name gifted by the Lord of Geo and as such, is meant to serve the people of his land.
And it is a fine name, a title meant to be carried with respect, with reverence … with the same hope Rex Lapis had once granted Xiao.
But tonight, his name reaches him in a different way.
Carried on the winds from the distant shores of Liyue Harbor, his name echoes in an odd way - in a sigh, in a whisper … in a moan wreathed in, frankly, blasphemous desire.
In which Xiao accidentally intrudes on Zhongli's dream and learns of all the ways his lord could have had him

Summary
Song Lan could be sitting outside any one of a thousand different rundown little shops selling groceries and drinks and snacks and sundries. There is the requisite group of teenagers messing around at the requisite cluster of little tables out front. There is the requisite wall plastered with advertisements, the requisite ancient-looking man inside at the counter with the requisite drama playing on the requisite tiny TV, and Song Lan can’t move.
There’s a group of teenagers messing around out front, and one of them is Xue Yang.
~
Song Lan has lived as a fierce corpse since the events of canon. Centuries later, he encounters a reincarnated Xue Yang in modern-day China. He decides to befriend the kid, knowing that if he stays by his side long enough, fate will draw Xiao Xingchen to them as well.

Summary
This is what happens when I am coaxed down the SXX path with such thoughts as:
The sound of his voice just softly praising you, “Would you please be a gem and do this for me, oh good work, well done, a little reward? Just one more minute, you can do one more minute can’t you?” And you’re just trying to agree that you can do one more minute but its all muffled from the ball gag XXC lovingly stuffed in there before he tied you up like a little present for his boyfriend.Please enjoy!

Summary
Ah, what else to say...this will be a quick letter, as I want to send it off before I head out in the morning. Of course there’s too much to express—especially when I lack the gorgeous poetry of your voice, which you’ll be pleased to know has prevented my peaceful rest on many a night. It is wrong enough that you lay beyond the edge of the clouds, and I lay alone under feverish rain. I can only hope that I also disrupt your evenings, else life would be far too unfair.
Your Wei Ying

between parting and reuniting on a mountainside, wei ying and lan zhan exchange love letters.

Summary
Nicky asks, “are you…I mean, what’s happening, Andrew? Are you okay? Because Kevin and Neil were just-”
“I know,” Andrew cuts him off. The flat, bored intonation of his voice makes it inexplicably funnier when he adds, “I have unfortunately saddled myself with two idiots who cannot keep it in their pants for more than five minutes at a time”
“Well,” Kevin huffs, indignant. “You don’t usually have any complaints”

Summary
“I’m not fool enough to think Lau will tutor you just because a handsome face asked nicely.”
“Obviously,” Damen agreed.
“I meant my face,” Auguste corrected.
“I’m going to kick your ass at practice tonight.”
“No, no, hear me out,” he laughed. “Laurent will know immediately I told you this, but honesty is the best policy with him, anyways. Cupcakes.”
It took a moment for Damen to swallow his potatoes before he could repeat, “Cupcakes?”
“Cupcakes,” Auguste nodded. “He adores them. Any cupcakes. But for the love of god, don’t buy him tarts. You’ll never hear the end of it. Promise him a never-ending supply of cakes, and he’ll get you to the top of the class. Specifically from the Sweetheart Convegionery.”
Damen perked up. “The vegan bakery? He’s vegan?”
Auguste rolled his eyes. “Not exactly. It’s a long story. Our family owns an equestrian club, Laurent had a pony, he discovered what gelatin is—as I said, stick to cupcakes.”
Damen’s eyebrows reached for his hairline as he barely restrained his laughter. He suddenly felt much more interested in getting more time with the school’s beautiful genius.
