    Summary

    Listen.

    It’s not weird to take a personal interest in your new shidi. Even if he’s beautiful and bloodthirsty and glares like he’s trying to incinerate you with his mind. Even if you’re keeping a very normal observational notebook about his behavioural progress.

    Shen Jiu is Qing Jing Peak’s newest disciple—mysterious, sharp-tongued, and extremely high-risk for becoming the future Scum Villain. Luckily, Shen Yuan is here to reform him. With mentorship. And sword drills. And maybe just a little bit of thigh-hugging.

    It’s fine. This is all very professional. He's doing it for the Sect!

    Or: The one where Shen Yuan thinks he's reforming the scum villain, Shen Jiu thinks Shen Yuan is intolerable, and somehow they end up in love.

    Summary

    He clawed his way out of hell, blood-slick and starving.
    A suspicious manual. A trail of bruises. Power carved into his body like a vow.

    Then the man who gave him that power comes back—
    Clean now, polished, dressed like a prince, smiling like he’s wants something.

    He says he just wants to watch.
    Shen Jiu doesn’t believe him.
    But he lets him stay.

    He doesn’t want to be saved. But he might take being worshipped.

    Summary

    After the Massacre, Lotus Pier rebuilds.
    But Wei Wuxian is slipping—back toward the Burial Mounds, toward grief, toward leaving.

    Jiang Cheng watches him go. Again.
    Until he doesn't.

    This time, he won't raise his voice.
    He'll use his body. His scent.
    Everything the Heavens gave him to keep Wei Wuxian home.

    (Or: the one where Jiang Cheng seduces Wei Wuxian so he doesn’t leave.)

    Summary

    They were a mess of half-kisses and late-night touches as teens—intimate, soft, undefined. Then Wei Wuxian vanished at twenty-one, chasing safety, sweetness, and someone who could teach him that being gay was even an option. It takes five years, a broken relationship, and a lot of cashmere to realise: the only person who ever made him feel anything real was Jiang Cheng.

    Now he's back. Older. Softer. Too late.

    Jiang Cheng lets him stay—barely. On probation. No promises.

    And Wei Wuxian, who once left without a word, now finds himself in hell: Jiang Cheng’s life is full of competent, handsome men who might be friends. Might be more. They laugh with him, touch him casually, text him things Wei Wuxian never got.

    Jealousy has never looked this humiliating. Or this deserved.

    But Wei Wuxian is done running. And if love means waiting outside the door until Jiang Cheng opens it—then he’ll wait.

    As long as it takes.

    Summary

    They met on a rooftop in Ibiza.
    Got married in Paris.
    And never told each other what they really did for a living.

    Everyone has secrets.
    Vanitas’s are classified.
    Noé’s involve knives, regret, and a very real body count.

    Married? Check.
    Emotionally unavailable? Also check.
    Trained killers working for rival agencies? Unfortunately, yes.

    Noé and Vanitas are everything you want in a power couple—if “power” means mutual sabotage, unresolved sexual tension, and one toothbrush neither of them will admit sharing.

    But when a new assignment brings their lies too close to the surface, they’ll have to remember how to fight together.

    Even if they’ve forgotten how to hold each other.

    A love story disguised as a therapy session, disguised as a marriage, disguised as espionage.
    Featuring sex, secrets, sharp objects, and one very demanding cat.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng has always known his place.

    He knows what it means to be second, to be the one left standing in the wake of someone else’s brilliance. He knows how to hold his tongue, how to bite down on the words that will only taste worse when spoken aloud. He knows that longing is a useless thing.

    But the body is treacherous.

    The first petal comes quietly, slipping past his lips like a secret he never meant to keep. A lotus, of course. As if he could ever escape what was carved into his bones.

    Wei Wuxian doesn’t notice. He never does. He is too busy laughing, too busy pulling at the threads of a life that will never tangle with Jiang Cheng’s the way he wants.

    So Jiang Cheng stays where he is, watching, waiting, pretending it doesn’t feel like drowning.

    After all, he has always known how to hold his breath.

    Summary

    Jiang Wanyin is the Lan Syndicate’s prettiest kept thing—red lips, black silk, and a pistol strapped to his thigh.

    Wei Wuxian was sent to take down the organisation from within.

    He didn’t expect the mob boss’s consort to be the most dangerous man in the room.

    And he definitely didn’t expect to fall for him.

    Summary

    Every fairy has a melody meant only for their truest believer.

    Jiang Cheng has waited centuries to be heard.
    Wei Wuxian, naturally, follows the sound because it sounds sad and sexy.

    Now there are offerings. Glowing. A kiss that might’ve meant something. Possibly a magical pact.

    Wei Wuxian thinks it’s foreplay. Jiang Cheng thinks it’s fate.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian gets thrown back in time. Obviously, his first instinct is to kiss Lan Wangji—might as well skip the yearning this time around.

    Except… Lan Wangji doesn’t take it well.

    Turns out, fate doesn’t like being rushed.

    Turns out, maybe this story isn’t about him and Lan Wangji at all.

    Maybe it’s about the boy waiting at the end of every battle. The boy who’s still angry. Still alive. Still reaching for him.

    Maybe it’s always been Jiang Cheng.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is not pining. He’s plotting. There's a difference.

    A week without Jiang Cheng is already intolerable—and worse, Gusu is full of other boys. Wei Wuxian makes the only rational decision: pretend to reform, escape Yunmeng, and sneak into Jiang Cheng’s bed like the feral shixiong he is.

    Summary

    At Lotus Pier, love grows quiet. It blooms in the space between one boy’s laughter and the other’s silence—in the stolen wine, the brush of hands beneath the lotus pond’s surface, the teacups passed back and forth beneath the willows when the world feels too big to bear.

    Wei Wuxian’s grin is too bright. Jiang Cheng’s gaze, too soft. Side by side, always. Two hearts learning how to beat in tandem. Two boys holding onto something they never learned how to name.

    This is the story of everything they shared, and everything they lost.
    Of how love can be clumsy, quiet, unnamed—and still leave ruin in its wake.

    They never needed words.

    Summary

    He kept the room untouched for thirteen years.
    No one else allowed inside. Jiang Cheng told himself it was about respect—honouring the dead.
    But really, it was about waiting.

    Every year, he drank the same wine. Every year, he whispered the same promises into the dark. Wei Wuxian never came back.

    Until one night, Jiang Cheng wakes in a Lotus Pier that's too alive.

    And Jiang Cheng has to watch the life he never got play out in someone else’s arms.

    Everything is perfect.
    It just isn’t his.

    -

    ( or how Jiang Cheng wakes up in a world where Wei Wuxian never died—and someone else got to keep him. )

    Summary

    “We survived the war. That was supposed to be the end of it. But every time I look back, it’s like the ruins followed us home—and I can’t tell if we’re healing, or making the wreckage worse.”

    The Sunshot Campaign is won. The banners are down. The swords are sheathed. The world calls it peace.

    But Wei Wuxian is still bleeding, and Jiang Cheng still hasn’t let go.

    What’s between them now isn’t what it used to be. It’s quieter. Meaner. Hungrier.

    Post-war survival is ugly.
    Loving each other might be worse.

    (or Wei Wuxian returns to Lotus Pier after the Campaign, but Jiang Cheng isn't going to make it easy for him)

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng has seen some things. dimension travel. alternate timelines. a happily married version of himself with better hair. he's emotionally recovered (he hasn't), and now he's back in his own timeline, trying his best to cope.

    in this fic i will make him:

    - take BuzzFeed quizzes ("Which Cultivation Sect Are You?", if he doesn't get Lotus Pier, he will cry)

    - start a podcast with his Shixiong ("Trauma Bonded: the Twin Prides of Yunmeng")

    - watch fan edits of himself, while crying to sad gǔqín music when he stumbles upon a ChengXian one

    - raise a magical lotus baby with Wei Wuxian

    this is my companion crack fic to my main one, so it won't really make sense without reading it.
    i'll update when i get bored or inspired, and it will be light hearted to mask the painful angst of "In Another Life, You Stayed"

    Summary

    One kiss. One dare. One ruined reputation.

    Bellatrix Black was never meant to fall—not for a Gryffindor. Not for him. When she’s dared to kiss someone at a pureblood party, she chooses James Potter. It’s supposed to be a statement. A power play. A warning.

    He kisses her back.

    It should’ve ended there. But at Hogwarts, hatred is safer than desire—especially when secrets bleed, reputations rot, and the person you loathe becomes the only one who understands you.

    It was meant to be a game.

    One kiss. One night.

    But James Potter kisses like a challenge—and Bellatrix doesn’t know how to walk away.

    Their secret could shatter everything.

    She almost hopes it does.

    Summary

    There are things James Potter won’t say out loud. Like how Sirius’s laugh makes his chest ache. Or how it’s not Lily Evans who’s been on his mind lately. Or how it’s only after Sirius sleeps with someone else that James finally cracks.

    Or James learns the hard way that pretending doesn’t stop you from falling.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian have been roommates for years.
    They cook together. Bicker about laundry. Share their clothes, their space, their lives.
    But not their feelings.
    Until now.

    Or the one where a blind date, a tiger plush, and years of pining finally force two idiots to talk about their feelings

    Summary

    Jiang Yanli throws the first punch. Jiang Cheng throws the second. Wei Wuxian, as always, is left to clean up the mess—with bandaged hands and tired smiles.

    He’s the steady hand that holds them together—the healer, the diplomat, the soft-hearted Shixiong keeping his siblings from tearing the world apart.

    But Jiang Cheng burns too bright, too reckless, crashing through life like he’s never learned how to stop. And when Lan Wangji starts looking too closely at Wei Wuxian’s quiet strength, Jiang Cheng feels something break inside.

    The war is coming. Jiang Cheng’s always been good at fighting. He just doesn’t know how to fight this.

    Or: the one where the Yunmeng Trio swaps personalities, but the emotional damage still hits just as hard.

    Summary

    Adrien Agreste was just a socially inept, anime-obsessed model trying to survive his father’s dystopian fashion empire. Then he choked on a macaron and died.

    Now? He’s been isekai’d into ✨Charmed in Paris: A Miraculous Romance—an infamously grind-heavy dating sim that made Chloe throw her phone at a wall five times. And, lucky him, he’s one of the capture targets.

    Tasked with keeping player engagement high, Adrien must:
    ✔ Endure an aggressively scripted romance plot.
    ✔ Dodge his suspiciously robotic assistant, Nathalie.
    ✔ Avoid being fought over like a rare SSS-rank weapon.

    Meanwhile, Marinette, the game’s heroine, is hellbent on unlocking his route, Felix keeps mysteriously sabotaging her progress, and Luka… keeps looking at him like a stray cat he wants to pet???

    Adrien is just trying to speedrun his own existence.

    Too bad the game has other plans.

    Summary

    In the wake of Dumbledore’s fall, a hidden secret in the Room of Requirement thrusts Harry into a Hogwarts of 1977—a world both familiar and strange. Sorted into Slytherin and tangled in alliances he never sought, Harry must navigate the shadows of rivalries and loyalties anew.

    Amid the quiet tension of the Marauders' era, a wary bond with Regulus Black may become his greatest risk—and a tether to a fate he never expected to claim.
