    Summary

    Some say the best revenge is happiness, but after a stinging breakup with a cheater, Diluc has his own idea on the question: the best revenge is, in fact, fake-dating a man tailored to make his ex mad.

    Makes complete sense.

    In the unexplored field of stellar fake-boyfriends, Kaeya checks all the boxes—and then some. Looks, brains, a sharp jawline only rivaled by his sharp eyeliner, and a heart of gold encased in a glorious cleavage; every parent worth their name wishes he were their son-in-law, and that makes him the best accomplice Diluc could have hoped to find for his petty plan. So good, even, that in other circumstances, he’d have been tempted to promote him.

    However, Diluc’s heart has other plans for him. When the lines of their strange contract start to blur, rules folding one by one, he finds himself faced with the most convoluted problem he’s had to solve in his mathematician career: is it real, or is it all artifice?

    Summary

    “We can’t forget the condom, of course,” Wei Ying re-affirms, with a straight face. “Very important.”

    “Very,” Lan Zhan nods. “Wouldn’t want any accidents to occur. Not when you’re most fertile. The chances are… very high.”

    “Wouldn’t be ideal,” Wei Ying says, nodding even harder.

    “Yes, wouldn’t be,” Lan Zhan parrots.

    Or, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying attempt to baby-trap each other into a marriage, without realising the other is doing the same. The results... are not that bad?!!

    Summary

    Sixteen years ago, Jiang Cheng made a deal with Jin Guangyao: in exchange for the right to raise Jin Ling in Lotus Pier, he would willingly submit to sharing his bed whenever called upon. For years, Jiang Cheng kept his end of the bargain in silence, enduring the shame of their encounters without a word to anyone. Now that Jin Guangyao is dead, Jiang Cheng should finally be free to move on with his life, but a shock discovery about his nephew throws his world into disarray again.

    Then Jin Ling invites him on a family bonding night-hunt, and Jiang Cheng reluctantly agrees to go—little knowing that his decision will threaten to reveal his darkest secrets to the last people in the world he ever wanted to know.

    Summary

    Boggart yaos are deadly shapeshifters that scare their victims to death by taking the shape of their worst fears. Their true form has never been seen by anyone in recorded history…until now.

    A post-canon Xicheng fic.

    "You wish to know why the boggart yao did not take on a form when it faced me?" he asks. "What should I have left to be afraid of, I wonder? Losing my parents, my siblings, my home? The shidis and shimeis I grew up with? Or should I fear failing my duty to my sect by remaining unmarried and heirless? Perhaps I should be scared of failing those I love the most."

    He risks a glance towards Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling, and instantly regrets it. Wei Wuxian is in tears, and his nephew doesn't look a whole lot better. Breathing in deeply, Jiang Cheng looks at Lan Xichen instead, drawing strength from the steadiness of his presence.

    "What form could a boggart yao take for me," he finishes, "when everything I ever feared has already come to pass?"

    Summary

    Harry never imagined that the Wizarding World would descend into a tyrannical state after the war. He didn’t expect to find himself a fugitive, forced to run with none other than Draco Malfoy at his side. And he certainly never expected to feel the all-consuming need to watch the world burn—if that’s what it took to keep Draco Malfoy safe.
