    Summary

    Hua Cheng blinks at him and then gently takes his wrist and moves it an inch away from his split lip.

    “Gege was worried?” He asks.

    “Of course I was.” Xie Lian huffs. “You- disappeared! I had no idea if you were even alive, and-”

    “I’m sorry.” Hua Cheng answers, and – smiles. What is he so happy about?

     

    Xie Lian’s life is a mess. Hua Cheng’s life is, somehow, even worse. Luckily, sometimes two negatives make an affirmative.

    Summary

    "San Lang... did it hurt?" Xie Lian asks in a very low voice, almost a whisper. His gaze fixed on his hand brushing against his husband's abdomen before he looks up to meet his eye.

    "What?" Hua Cheng asks, while a lump forms in his throat.

    Because deep down, he knows what he's asking, what he means. It was something they'd talked about a few times, but never anything more, though he knew that sooner or later this conversation—a deeper one—was bound to happen.

    Where Hua Cheng finally allows himself to remember and feel his last mortal moment, knowing that just as Xie Lian caught him in his attempt to jump, it will be the same now.

    Summary

    “—ITS NOT OKAY!” Jin Ling screamed, turning around and facing his uncle, tear marks staining his face.

    When your uncle tries to kill you, you can’t simply live as before; the world tilts, and everything you knew feels different. But perhaps, you are not alone as you think. Maybe all you need is to break down in the arms of the man who, despite everything, never once left you to face the grief alone.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng knows he failed Jin Ling.

    It’s apparent in the way he can’t accept affection, can’t accept praise of any kind, and most of all it’s apparent in the way he keeps his Lan friends at a safe distance.

    Jiang Cheng isn’t even sure if he should call them friends, because Jin Ling certainly complains more about them than he talks well about them.

    And it’s all Jiang Cheng’s fault. He failed him as an uncle, raised Jin Ling like his father and mother raised Jiang Cheng, with all the flaws and faults he himself experienced in his childhood.

    Summary

    In CQL canon, Jin Ling is choked for 7.5 minutes in episode 49. That is way too long for him to be conscious and mostly okay.

    Have some whump!!! and comfort (a bit)
    --
    Jin Ling looks out across the cavernous temple as the wire tightens against his throat, and can only think, oh fuck, Jiujiu is going to kill me for this.

    He can’t breathe. The pressure against his throat is terrible, he wants to lift his arms, to grab at the wire, anything to relieve the building strain on his throat, but when he twitches, Jin Guangyao tenses, and tugs in warning. Jin Ling gasps, and everyone’s gazes shift to him, he coughs as the cord is pulled tighter in warning. The panic sets in at his second rasping cough, when he realizes there is no air for him.

    His uncles are shooting tense words back and forth, trying to figure out where the weapon came from, but Jin Ling can’t focus on their words, just on the ever-increasing pressure that is making his lungs flame and the cord pulling a line of fire across his exposed neck. He feels warm blood run down his neck, as the wire slices into his skin, and he chokes on nothing, there is nothing left, nothing in his burning lungs.

    Summary

    “Have you ever considered, ah…” Shen Yuan’s voice cracks. Abort, abort!! But it’s too late. “Um… therapy?”

    For several moments Luo Binghe doesn’t move. Shen Yuan doesn’t, either. A bit hard to when his soul has escaped up into heaven.

    (Seriously, what was that?! ‘Have you ever considered therapy’?! Has Shen Yuan ever considered raising a sensitive subject with his – with – with his boyfriend without wording it like he’s hurling insults over Airplane’s latest load of drivel?!)

    Summary

    He understands Jiang Cheng a little bit more now, he thinks. Jiang Cheng has never been anything less than cagey and furious and too-much when the subject of Wei Wuxian or demonic cultivation comes up, even more so than his usual disagreeable nature, and now—now, he thinks, he understands. He understands how love and fury can mix up until you can’t tell which is which anymore. It makes him angrier still. It’s too much.

    What now?

    Pathetic, for the sect leader, and—oh god, it hits him like a hurricane, slamming into him and weakening his knees with it. He feels sick.

    Jin Ling, anger, and grief; missing what you can’t have and what you never had.

    Summary

    He also gifted a sword, finely carved in flexible wood, but Yanli hadn’t thought it was suited for such a small child and had safely tucked it away. The memory of his sister’s soft smile as she introduced Jin Ling to him feels like a hit from the discipline whip.

    “This is Jin Rulan, A-Cheng. This is your nephew,”

    Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling through the years.

    Summary

    There is a room in Lotus Pier that is always sealed. The room sits squarely between his uncle’s room and his. The doors bear no locks, and yet, they only open for one person. Jin Ling has seen it happen, on rare occasions— his Jiujiu, slipping into the room, as dark and silent as a shadow.

    He does not know what Jiujiu does when he’s in there, nor does he know what lies inside. But secrets have a way of captivating young minds.

     

    Shunned by the other kids, a seven-year-old Jin Ling copes with loneliness by embarking on an exciting adventure to break into the mysterious sealed room that flanks his bedroom! In the process, he learns more about his Jiujiu, including the important revelation that his Jiujiu is only human.

    Summary

    "It must be nice," Qifrey murmurs, watching the creature curl around Olruggio's neck, "getting to be close to you all the time."

    Or,

    Olruggio can't understand why Brushbuddy follows him everywhere. Qifrey, however, understands perfectly, and is slightly jealous of the tiny creature who gets to do what he could never even try.

    Needless to say, he's not handling it well.

    Summary

    Sect Leader Xue was still the same Xue Meng, under the fur-lined outer robe with a ruff like a snow leopard’s and expensive layers of rich blue silk, and he was clearly on his last nerve. He didn’t bother with a greeting. “Someone’s spreading rumours about the real reason for today’s banquet, so if you hear anything ridiculous, assume it's a lie.”

    (A brief look at Sisheng Peak and the changing state of the cultivation world post-canon. And lots of stairs.)

    Summary

    Standing at the base of the long stairs up to Sisheng Peak, Xue Meng was under no illusions about the assembled cultivators' abilities to defeat Taxian-Jun. He looked at the stairs up the mountainside, which had once been so very familiar, and wondered how much more had changed at the Peak, how much more of his childhood home the mad Emperor who had once been his cousin had destroyed by now.
    ----
    Xue Meng returns to Sisheng Peak. What he finds is nothing like what he expected.

    Summary

    It had been during a more intense bout of homesickness that he’d made his first mistake. His second mistake had come a few weeks later. He had been damn near hysterical when he had decided to say fuck it! Fuck it all! Maybe if he finally indulged in the thought, then he could come to terms with how stupid it was, and he could finally move on! And that? That had been his third mistake.

    Or: The Mei Hanxues walk in on something they shouldn't see, and unlock a new desire for their troubles.
