    Summary

    If he could stop for a moment and count the humans standing in the room, he’d only count one. And between the roars, the monstrous trills, the blood in his ears and the otherworldly call to fight blazing in his veins… he’s not even sure he counts anymore.

    Or; Kinich makes it back from the Night Kingdom... if only barely.

    Summary

    "A sweat breaks out across the back of his neck, blinking at the regretful realization that, if somebody’s here in the room with him, he has no way of knowing. He reaches for the candle on the desk, but freezes in fear at the thought of waving it aloft and revealing some evil creature lurking where he can’t see.

    He swallows again nervously and tries to will the shakiness out of his voice. 'Hello?'

    The lack of response makes him feel both foolish and unnerved. His voice sounds meek. If he had to defend himself, how would he? He doesn’t have a weapon on him—why should he?

    Mika’s heart stops at the exact moment that the hairs on his nape rise, tickled by a puff of warm breath.

    'Up late?'"

     

    Or: Mika's up way too late working on other Knights' reports. Lohen takes it upon himself to fix that.

    Summary

    Lohen has one goal in life: to see how many shades of pink Mika can turn before he runs out of names for them.

    Rose. Peony. Cherry blossom. Crimson.

    Every stolen notebook, every whispered tease, every time he stands too close—the color deepens. It's Lohen's favorite game.

    Until Mika starts giving it right back.

    Or: Lohen came for the blush and stayed for the boy behind it.

    Summary

    “I was just saying that people my age are weird,” Sushang says, taking out her phone and opening it to whatever social media app she was scrolling on earlier. “Here I am, doing my duty as a member of the Cloud Knights by evacuating and guiding civilians during this ongoing crisis, and all the rest of my peers are speculating as to whether the Stellaron Hunter has history with General Jing Yuan! I mean, the Stellaron Hunter is a wanted criminal who broke out of prison, for Lan’s sake!”

    A small smile spreads across Luocha’s face. “Oh, you know how people are. They’re often fascinated by the forbidden, and criminals in particular are popular.”

    The look Luocha gives Dan Heng is a bit too knowing. “And those on the run tend to be especially sought after. Wouldn’t you agree, Dan Heng?”

    --

    Dan Heng develops the wrong idea about Blade's relationship with Jing Yuan.

    Summary

    Arranged Marriage AU as an excuse for Domestic Fluff:

    Forgemaster Yingxing, as one of the leaders of Zhuming, the Xianzhou ship known for its craft, agrees to marry the Luofu Vidyadhara's Yinyue-jun to solidify the alliance between their people. He has few expectations from a political marriage, but finds himself helplessly charmed and drawn to his husband.

    It all starts from the realization that the High Elder may be cold blooded…
