    Summary

    It’s chilly enough outside the bar that Mu Qing regrets not wearing a jacket; he folds his arms in front of his chest as he stands close to Feng Xin, leaning over his phone’s screen as he pulls up the ride sharing app. He’s close enough to see the fine stitching on the lapel of Feng Xin’s jacket, and close enough to catch the faint trace of a floral cologne clinging to him.

    Feng Xin hesitates with the app open rather than typing a destination address.

    “If you want,” he says after a second, “you could come back to my place.”

    -

    Mu Qing is starting a new job, and takes his mind off the stress via a one night stand with a handsome man he meets at a bar. He doesn't expect to meet him again at work the next day.

    Summary

    Mu Qing does not ascend as a martial god, as he is supposed to. He becomes something far, far worse.

    (Or: the Calamity Mu Qing AU that none of us needed, but some of us (me) probably wanted.)

    Summary

    “Congratulations. I think that might be the stupidest idea you’ve ever had.” Mu Qing sounds… pissed off, yeah, but not as pissed off as Feng Xin thought he would be. Mostly, he sounds wary. “You want to—to kiss me again?”

    Yes. More than anything.

    Out loud, Feng Xin says, “I just don’t want you holding a bad kiss over my head for the rest of eternity. Are you gonna let me make this up to you or are you gonna be a little bitch about it?”

    --

    Feng Xin accidentally steals Mu Qing’s first kiss. Naturally, the only logical solution is to give him another one. And another. And another. And another. And—
