    Summary

    “You know,” Vox started smoothly as he pushed himself off his desk and trailed along the floor like a predator would toward its prey, slowly and calculating. “All these honeyed words thrown my way: sweetheart, dear, calling me pretty—one might confuse you for being sweet on me.”

    Radio static scrambled in high pitched incredulity. Alastor looked caught between disbelief and outright hysterics.

    As with anything involving Alastor, Vox never leaves unscathed, but he refuses to be the only one this time.

    Summary

    "The world is at least fifty percent bad. Sometimes he thinks that’s a conservative estimate. For every dog pet, there is one kicked. For every penny given, one is taken. Xie Lian is not a gambling man.

    But that’s the thing about halves: there’s always a flip side. Maybe if Xie Lian flips the coin enough times, some day it’ll land right side facing up. Forever might mean infinite disappointment, but it also means infinite chances—every time Xie Lian makes a bad gamble, there will always be a next time, and a next, and a next.

    And Xie Lian is cold. He’s so tired from watching the rain from inside the storm. He wants to curl up in something soft and listen to it rage around him, rather than letting it chew him up and spit him out.

    (He thinks that he would like to be beautiful, to somebody’s eyes.

    He thinks that he would like to be saved.)"

    **********

    OR: Hua Cheng finds Xie Lian on the streets of Shanghai after more than a thousand years of searching. He brings him home.

    (Based on the poem Good Bones by Maggie Smith).

    Summary

    “You’re ridiculous.”
    “You’ve dated worse.”
    “San Lang! That’s rude!”
    “That’s true,” Hua Cheng parries mercilessly. “I haven’t even finished the retrospective of all the trash you’ve collected—would you like me to go on?”

    aka Xie Lian hasn't had any luck in his relationships, but he has a goal in mind, and won't be deterred. That is, until Hua Cheng snaps.
