    Summary

    Five years ago, Shen Qingqiu left the underwater mountain peaks that comprised his home and gave up his life to live on land with the human, Luo Binghe.

    Five years ago, Liu Qingge left to drag his ass back home.

    When finding Shen Qingqiu leaves Liu Qingge injured and unable to return back to the ocean - he is forced to recuperate with the subject of his hunt and the man who stole his quarry from him.

    Summary

    Liu Qingge knew this was a dream—perhaps the most obvious clue was that Luo Binghe was fucking him while Shen Qingqiu was nowhere to be found.

    Summary

    It starts like every other fight. Liu Qingge lands one hit to Luo Binghe's every three, both of them bruising and collecting injuries like art. It drags on until the sunlight starts to fade, until they're both breathing heavily and covered in a fine sheet of sweat.

    And then Luo Binghe makes a mistake.

    It's small - just a minor misstep, an unfortunate shift of balance. Against any other opponent, it wouldn't mean a thing. Wouldn't make a difference. But Liu Qingge has been watching. Liu Qingge has been waiting for Luo Binghe to make a mistake for years. He quickly changes his attack mid-step, throwing his weight against the opening Luo Binghe's mistake left, and Luo Binghe falls. Liu Qingge falls with him, of course -he compromised too much of his balance with that attack - but he makes sure to end up on top, straddling Luo Binghe and pressing the flat of Cheng Luan's blade to his neck.

    Without meaning to, without thinking to stop it, Liu Qingge smiles at him, bright and genuine and triumphant.

    Luo Binghe's breath catches.

    "I win."

    ---

    ~Or~ The one where Liu Qingge actually wins a fight and Luo Binghe ends up getting a little hot for Shishu.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan is - contrary to what some people might think - not afraid of the dark.

    He thinks this to himself as he stares out into the pitch blackness of his room, his eyes full-moon-wide, flicking blindly around the inky void around him. He is twenty-three, a man grown, and he is currently panicking because his nightlight has gone out.

    Shen Yuan receives a nighttime visitor.

    Summary

    You’re trying to figure out whether your new body is decaying when Zhuzhi-lang’s little Peak Lord stumbles his way into your study.

    You barely glance up from your examination of your arm. “Peak Lord Shen.” You’re almost certain that your meridians feel wrong. But after twenty years of being trapped under a mountain, it is rather difficult to remember how a body is supposed to feel.

    “Tianlang-jun,” he says.

    Did your wrists always feel like this? It’s hard to remember, and it’s harder to care.

    The Peak Lord is still staring at you. Or rather, he’s glaring at you, from behind a folding fan.

    It’s tempting to wait until he gets annoyed enough to break the silence, but you would prefer to get this over with. “Does Peak Lord Shen require something?”

    “This place is boring,” he snaps, almost before you’re done speaking.

    You smile faintly. “Unfortunate.”
