    Summary

    Following a near-death incident in the capital, Shi Qingxuan wakes up in Nether Water Manor to her injuries having been seen to, and the close supervision of some pesky skeletal fish. By 'some', she means a swarm, and by 'wakes up', she means 'they dropped a gemstone on her face while she was sleeping'. But He Xuan isn't present, so she can explore a little, figure out what secrets a Ghost King has to hide away in his house where he doesn't let anyone see. Or, perhaps, what secrets he's left for her to find.

    Summary

    As soon as the chamber door closed, Hua Cheng sank to his knees in anguish. After eight hundred years, he had finally found him. So many centuries of wandering, of searching through dust-choked battlefields and forgotten shrines, of chasing rumors like a starving man chasing the scent of food. Eight hundred years of prayers offered to the God who had fallen from Heaven.

    He couldn’t fight this moment of weakness; the sweet relief after so many years of begging to just catch a glimpse of this man. Hua Cheng lifted his head slowly, wiping the remnants of tears from his face with the back of his hand. The agony did not vanish, but it sharpened into purpose. He was finally strong enough to protect him.

     

    OR: TGCF entirely from Hua Cheng's point of view.

    Get ready for unwavering devotion shrouded in jealousy, guilt, self-loathing, and fear.

    Summary

    Peter has a problem. Mr. Stark is his father. Not his surrogate father, but his actual legitimate father. Peter wants to tell him, but he’s afraid of being rejected because he’s not really ‘heir’ material. He’s just an intern. He’s just Spider Man. He thinks he could tell Mr. Stark if he was certain Mr. Stark already loved him like a son, but Peter just can’t be sure, that is until Ned comes up with a plan.

    OR

    Peter brings Tony crazy things to eat so he can evaluate his reactions.

    Summary

    A new resident is brought to Hua Cheng's wyrm sanctuary. Skinbound, collared, malnourished, and apparently having survived on garbage until now, there's still something about Xie Lian that demands Hua Cheng's particular attention.

    Summary

    Since the death of his aunt and uncle a year ago, Peter Parker has bounced around foster homes faster than a pinball at full speed. Why? He blames Spiderman. His constant secret keeping, lying, and sneaking out because of his alter ego has kept him from staying in a home for too long, but he refuses to give up the vigilanteism (that's a word, right?) At this point, he's given up hope on ever finding a forever home.

    Tony Stark never expected to get so attached to his young new intern, Peter Parker. But when he finds out that the kid is moving foster homes too far away for him to keep up the internship, he takes matters into his own hands. He soon finds out, though, that housing Peter Parker is a lot harder than mentoring him.

    (eventual adoption, because how else would this end?)
