    ELI5 why do my roommate’s “art projects” look like me?
    Hi. So, this is going to sound weird, but I need an outside perspective. My roommate (23M) is an artist, and I (26M) just found his sketchbook on the coffee table. Normally, I wouldn’t snoop, but it was open, and curiosity got the better of me. And… every single page is a drawing of me.
    But here’s the kicker—they’re… uh… anatomically precise. And by that, I mean nude. Very nude. Extremely detailed. Here’s the thing: we’re roommates and technically dating, but he has never seen me naked. At least not that I’m aware of??

    Summary

    The one where Lan Wangji parks his car in Wei Wuxian garage.

     

    Oh, come on, you totally got that euphemism. Except, yeah, there’s stealing parking spots issues and Wei Wuxian getting caught keying Lan Wangji’s car. But semantics. Also they’re doctors.

    Summary

    “You’re in the hospital,” she says. “You were in a traffic accident, and–”

    “No, I heard that. But–” Wei Ying glances at the extremely pretty man, who’s just staring at him, completely still. His empty hands hover in the air. “I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I just wanna go home.”

    “You are going home,” Yanli reaches over and tucks his hair behind his ear, giving him a tiny smile. “Don’t worry. Just a few more scans, and then Lan Zhan can take you back.”

    “Who’s Lan Zhan?” he asks.

    The pretty man by his side inhales so sharply Wei Ying feels the air get sucked out of the room.

    -

    Wei Ying gets in a traffic accident and loses six years of his memories, including meeting and marrying the love of his life. This is the story of how he falls back in love with Lan Zhan: quickly, and inevitably.

    Or, my take on one of my favorite tropes.

    Summary

    “Do you really mean it? You’re not going to bury me alive, stone me, or throw me into the sea?”

    Hua Cheng froze, his usually composed face turning pale. His voice dropped to a deadly fury as he asked,

    “Who did that to you? Tell me, and I—”

    “Hua Cheng,” Xie Lian interrupted softly, his grip tightening slightly around the hand still holding his. He took a shaky breath, his heart pounding with both fear and hope.
    “I… I want to go to your city. Will you take me there?”

    His voice was small, his golden eyes lowered, cheeks faintly pink.

    Hua Cheng didn’t answer at first.

    He just stared, as if the world had stopped moving.
    Then, finally, he smiled—slowly, softly, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

    “Of course,” he said.
    “It would be my greatest honor.”

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian was cursed by Bai Wuxiang to survive only by consuming blood.
    Overwhelmed by guilt and self-loathing, he is discovered by Hua Cheng, a mysterious ghost king who offers him sanctuary in his city. Despite his shame, Xie Lian accepts the offer, hoping to find a place where he truly belongs.

    Could this be the home he’s been dreaming for all his life?
