Summary
In the sterile logic of the 21st century, there is no room for ghosts. A lesson learned through years of therapy and medication. The life he remembers – An imperial court, a forbidden love, a promise shattered by death – is not a memory. This grief, not a wound to be healed, but a symptom to be managed. The life he remembers is given a clinical name - his memories are the illness; the prescription is to forget.
For more than a decade, he tried to believe them.
But when a viral video captures the face of a bottle girl in a Shanghai nightclub, the lie comes undone. It is her – The same cynical eyes, the same untameable spirit – The ghost made flesh.

Summary
She’s never unexpected, but she’s always a surprise. And when Charles meets her, it's nothing like the nightmare he's built up in his own head, being split away from Edwin and cursed to an afterlife without him. She's kind and gentle and familiar, and she gives him a chance to say goodbye to his mother.
Or, the one where Charles meets Death. They have a lot to talk about. But it's okay. They have time.

That Odd London Bookshop by WritesEveryBlueMoon
Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

Summary
A.Z. Fell and Co. Antiquarian Bookshop has been the ultimate paradox for book lovers for over 200 years: It has almost every book imaginable, but an owner who refuses to sell any of them. At least there is fun to be had and friends to be made in the ambitious, if rarely successful, endeavours of the customers.

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE ACTUALLY
I've seen people fluently reading in fandom language, but writing a fic with that language?? Mad respect, it's hilarious -

Bookmarker's Notes
This had such good writing my god, it's one of the best works I've read on this platform and probably in general as well. I feel like I've been broken and put back together alongside them

Summary
His kick has dislodged some stray fragments of Guanyin Temple's destroyed ceiling beams. Jingyi stares at them as he kneads his toes through his boot. They’re as red as the blood that stains the floor beneath him, sharp and splintering. Wind whistles through the wood and stone, though there’s a flickering too - the sound of paper fluttering in the breeze.
A talisman written in blood.

Lan Jingyi finds a way home.
