➼ Ablaze by cherryburlesque

info
hua cheng/xie lian; 3.2k; 1/1; complete

summary
Xie Lian is panting for breath, his whole body shaking while he tries desperately to get something, anything from this current position. He can’t even rut against the soft mat to get some relief, because Hua Cheng has him so thoroughly pinned.

He squirms, and Hua Cheng laughs softly.

“Your sutra, gege. Get it right, and I’ll keep going.”

Xie Lian whimpers.


Or, Hua Cheng challenges Xie Lian to a game; he recites the ethics sutra without messing it up, and Hua Cheng will give him what he wants.

summary
Many people tried to summon the Yiling Laozu's spirit over his thirteen-year stint as a dead man. Nobody succeeded, of course, because the Ghost Realm's number one bigshot had the poor guy trapped in a pouch the whole time.

summary
"Eh! 'Little brother,' what!" Wei WuXian says, mock-outraged. "I'm thirty-five!" (Sort of. He was born thirty-five years ago, anyway.) "You must be, what, twenty-five tops?"

"Nooo," Xie Lian says, smiling. "I'm eight hundred years old."

"You don't look a day over four hundred," Wei WuXian says. "Seriously, how old are you?"

"Seriously, I'm eight hundred years old," Xie Lian tells him.

--

Lan WangJi had a lot of time to pray to different gods while Wei WuXian was dead. One of them was Hua Cheng.

info

summary
Hua Cheng is glad he doesn't have a heartbeat. "Ah, I see now," he teases. "Gege just wants to snuggle with me, I understand, ahaha."

Hua Cheng is joking, but Xie Lian is conspicuously silent. Hua Cheng ducks closer to look at his face. His expression of embarrassment is so cute, his eyebrows high curves over wide evasive eyes. Again the urge to kiss him. Again resistance. Hua Cheng clears his throat. "Ah… I was right??"

--

Xie Lian catches a cold.

summary
"Really, Xie Lian, you don't even jerk it??" Shi Qingxuan insists. "I mean it's none of my business and you can tell me to fuck off, but holy shit, lady."

Xie Lian laughs, feeling her cheeks color, and shrugs again. "I don't know, something about the mechanics of it just never made sense to me," she admits. "And anyway that's time I should be spending studying."

--

It comes out that Xie Lian's never had an orgasm. She goes to Hua Cheng for help.

info
hua cheng/xie lian; 14.5k; 2/2; complete

summary
There were odd sightings in a forest to the south. People would claim lights and screaming could be heard from there. People would claim they were from ghosts burned to death in some great temple fire from long ago, and if you got too close they would burn you with them.

--

Feng Xin and Mu Qing need some help with some particularly persistent ghosts that won't move on. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng lend a hand. What could possibly go wrong?

➼ a glimpse of light by parsnipit

info
hua cheng/xie lian; 26.5k; 6/6; complete

summary
Feng Xin would like to think that he has become accustomed to the variety of strange (and often unfortunate) events that surround Xie Lian. He has become accustomed to the flights of fancy, and the trash collecting, and the occasional ill-fated culinary quest. He has even, as of late, become accustomed to His Highness’ cripplingly poor choice in spouse.

Despite all of Feng Xin’s practice in these unfortunates, however, he is not prepared for this.

“Who are you?” Xie Lian stares up at him from a puddle of oversized white robes, his eyes wide. He is several sizes too small, and several shades too oblivious. “And, um. Where are we?”

Beside him, Mu Qing sighs very very very deeply and pinches the bridge of his nose.

When a curse turns Xie Lian into a child again, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Hua Cheng have to work together to keep him safe. Needless to say, this is a trying task for all of them.

usually i don't read de-aging fics but like the h/c in this is so good. oh my god. also i love xl

➼ Hold the Feeling in your Hand by Pteropoda (SilentP)

info
hua cheng/xie lian; 47.1k; 9/9; complete

summary
Is there such a thing as a third chance in Hollywood? Xie Lian has never expected one, not after the career-ending mistakes he’s made. He’s burnt bridges with nearly all of his former friends in the industry. He’s single-handedly ruined a movie. He’s lost everything. The most he can hope for is that his infamy will fade quickly to obscurity.

Instead, he’s been handed the leading role in Director Jun Wu’s newest film.

He expects the worst of it; the increased scrutiny, difficult encounters with former friends, coming face to face with the ghosts of his past. What he doesn’t expect is to meet the one true fan he has left in Los Angeles.

➼ Take Your Pain Away by Saenda

info
hua cheng/xie lian; 15.4k; 4/4; complete

summary
Carefully, almost in loving reverence, Hua Cheng gathered Xie Lian's foot and proceeded to bandage it expertly. Then, he examined his legs and arms for any cut or bruise – cleaning the cuts, pressing his lips on each bruise.

Xie Lian gasped, eyes wide, the trembling in his body increasing ten folds. His burning cheeks were turning to lava, frying his brain in the process. He couldn't understand what was happening. Why was Hua Cheng acting this way? It didn't make any sense!

"S-San Lang, ah!?"

After getting rid of a spirit in a neighboring village, Xie Lian attempts to return home fast enough, but ends up injuring himself along the way. He doesn't dare call Hua Cheng who went back to Ghost City, knowing he is busy. But maybe that's a mistake.

Maybe, just maybe, there's a chance the Ghost King actually wants to help him out.

summary
Mu Qing is not thrilled to have to look after Xie Lian again, but after Xie Lian manages to catch ill while waiting for Hua Cheng to return, he feels obligated to do it.

And when Xie Lian says and does some concerning things while delirious, Mu Qing also feels obligated as a... friend... to get to the bottom of this.
