Summary
“You used to play your original songs a lot,” Xiao says softly, tracing the knuckles of his left hand. “Why don’t you do that anymore?”
Barbatos takes a moment to answer. “I guess I wasn’t sure anyone wanted to hear them.”
“I did,” Xiao says, surprising himself with how immediate his response is. “I liked them all.”
“Oh,” says Barbatos.After eight years of silently listening to the radio show that saved his life as a teenager, Xiao finally calls in after the host, Barbatos, disappears for a week. He expects that to be the only time he calls, but Barbatos seems to have other plans. One thing leads to another, and Xiao ends up calling the station each week – until a disastrous realisation at Barbatos’s first live performance.
in other words: xiaoven radio au 😋

Summary
Xiao scoffs and turns his back. “The point remains,” he snaps. “I have no intention of bonding with anyone. Ever.”
“Awww, that’s too bad!”
Every thought comes to a crashing halt. The cheery voice washes over him like a cleansing breeze, the ever-present hiss and mutter of his karmic debt falling silent in the presence of divinity.
Then there’s a blur of green, the smell of a wheat field under easy sunlight, and a chirp of “Hold this!” Xiao finds himself reflexively obeying: his arms come up, and into them is dumped a….burlap sack, of…apples? He looks up—
As the last of the yaksha, Xiao is living on borrowed time, a weapon steeped in blood and ancient sins. When the past begins to catch up with him, he's saved by a bard who might need him just as much.

Summary
“What’s on your mind this time?” he asks.
That Varka will go with the rising of the sun, that Flins is not canny enough to keep him. “The way your voice sounds right now.”
Varka rumbles with laughter. “My voice is it?” he asks, turning his head to press his lips to Flins’s ear. “And what, exactly, do you like about my voice?”
In the small hours before dawn, Varka attempts to trap Flins with a riddle he can't solve.

Summary
Varka has spent forty years making sure "biology" is never an excuse. He may be an alpha, but more importantly, he's a Grand Master, the Knight of Boreas, the sort of man who has enough self-control to walk away from any omega in heat if there isn't a ring on both their fingers.
He never felt the need to question this. Not before he met a certain (too-charming) lightkeeper he soon fell half in love with. Even though Flins is definitely a beta... This proves that Nod-Krai's stories about "moonmad" Fae whisking alphas away never to be seen again are just that: stories. They have to be, because the Fae in those stories—creatures of light and hunger that smell sweeter than sin itself—don't sound anything like Flins at all...
