Summary
"Xiao-he, you need to start hitting them back." From what Luo Yuan had gathered from Binghe's story, and what he could remember of PIDW, Qing Jing had partly eaten him alive because he was so sweet and polite. The rich kids up there only saw someone who was both weak and below them, therefore perfectly within their rights to stomp on. "If they want to treat you like a dog, you remind them that dogs bite."
His sweet, adorable, little brother hunches his shoulders inwards and sniffles. The last of his tears are drying on his cheeks, the salt tracks already chapping them.
"But... Yuan-ge... Shizun says that-"
"Fuck him!"
Shen Yuan wakes up as something that shouldn't exist. He decides to be a good big brother.

Summary
“Does bonding with you mean you’re mine?” he asked with nearly a childlike wonder.
Gasps erupted behind them.
Familiars did not speak aloud.
Shen Jiu ignored everyone else completely.
“It means you're mine,” he corrected coolly.
The creature’s eyes narrowed pleasantly.
“Ah,” it said softly. “That works too.”
Shen Jiu wants a powerful familiar. An intelligent familiar. A familiar worthy of the Academy's top student.
What he gets is Shen Yuan.
Or:
Shen Jiu accidentally summons an eldritch horror with the personality of an affectionate cat and discovers that everyone else's survival instincts are dramatically overdeveloped.

I Have This Feeling That I Can Sleep Now by Excalibird

Summary
Shen Jiu hasn’t slept in three months.
The Warm Red Pavilion has always been the one place that doesn’t ask questions, where he can close his eyes and let someone else keep watch for a while. When the person who used to sit with him is suddenly gone, Shen Jiu accepts a substitute without thinking too hard about what that might mean.
What begins as a practical solution turns into something quietly destabilizing. Shen Jiu finds himself resting in a way he never has before, and in a world that insists on misunderstanding care as indulgence, that kind of relief is dangerous.

Summary
"San Lang?" Xie Lian whispers against his jaw. Hua Cheng hums, tilting his head to him. His cheek bumps into his forehead, and Xie Lian squeezes him gently, along with the tingle of warmth that spreads through him at the contact. With his fingers tracing the swirled, thin embroidery of a dragon along the silk of Hua Cheng's robe, he asks, still in a hushed voice, "Will you tell me about your mother?"
Hua Cheng stills under his hand, but only for a moment. His head shifts against his temple, and Xie Lian watches clawed fingers reach for the blue tassels hanging tied around his waist. He simply holds the flared ends, running his thumb over the clumped strings and threading them through his knuckles as he thinks. Xie Lian waits patiently, even through this sudden tension in the air and against the swirling in his gut.
"...My mother?"
—
or, if we knew more about hua cheng's past, what would it look like? how much of his childhood pertains to who he is today? a personal spin on the beginning of his backstory

Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.
