    Summary

    Xie Lian is a trans man. Hua Cheng is gay. Growing up under the late Qing dynasty, neither of them fit the world they were born into. As children, they promised to marry each other one day to escape the roles forced on them. Years later, with a second opium war looming and rebellions spreading across the empire, Xie Lian is being pushed into an arranged marriage with Prefect Jun Wu, and their childhood promise is more fragile than ever.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng blinks at him and then gently takes his wrist and moves it an inch away from his split lip.

    “Gege was worried?” He asks.

    “Of course I was.” Xie Lian huffs. “You- disappeared! I had no idea if you were even alive, and-”

    “I’m sorry.” Hua Cheng answers, and – smiles. What is he so happy about?

     

    Xie Lian’s life is a mess. Hua Cheng’s life is, somehow, even worse. Luckily, sometimes two negatives make an affirmative.

    Summary

    The Martial God of Death, Hua Cheng, ascended with little to no memory of his mortal life before godhood. What he did know was that he did it for…Someone. Someone so beloved and so ingrained in his heart that, even when he had lost all memory, he remembered he needed to look for them. Even without knowing who they were.

    With his mission in mind, he made an agreement with Heaven to allow him to stay in the mortal realm to look for that Someone.

    Except…he seems to have caught the eye of The Scourge of Heaven, the Lord of the Ghost City, and The Mad Calamity: Fangxin, the Crimson Sword Deathly Flower.

    Or: A HuaLian Reverse!AU resulting from a very specific canon divergence point.

    Summary

    "Have we met?" Xie Lian smiles his employee-of-the-month winning smile.

    "Maybe," smirks Hard-Cock.

    "Sure. For here or takeaway?"

    "Peppermint cocoa for here, please. And your Valentine's plans?"

    He's unfazed by Xie Lian's dryness, which he has to admit is interesting. Unfortunately, Xie Lian is very, very tired. And so his filters aren't what they really ought to be when working in customer service.

    "I'm going to order in some food, watch my favourite film, and then cry myself to sleep."

    After Jun Wu breaks up with Xie Lian, it takes good friends and a persistent stranger to get Xie Lian to want to live his life again.

    Summary

    [“Just to be clear,” Yaz said, feeling very tired. “You’re wearing an eyepatch. You’ve gone for all-black. The hood of your coat, which you’ve clearly just begged the TARDIS to make in a slightly darker shade of blue, is up. But the rainbow suspenders—”]

    The universe has fallen to the Flux. War rages without end. On one side, a damaged Swarm and Azure command dwindling legions of the faithful. On the other, a stranger with three faces and no mercy left to give has gathered what’s left of the universe behind her—whether they like it or not. As more and more of the universe bends to her will, the only question that remains is what will become of the universe when the war is finally won?
    Amidst these scattered pieces, a small resistance is forming, built on whispers and shreds of hope. Only those who were there know the truth: Yasmin Khan is dead. The Earth is gone. The Doctor is out.
    And on a planet long-forgotten, something—someone— is waking in the shadows…
