Also, huge shoutout again to my beta readers (@lildoodlecat @afanbeingatheart & @crystalsamethyst) who had to deal with my insane weekly deadline for literally four months. XL has something to say:

Hey Em! Congrats on all the amazing writing! Now I'm gonna nicely ask you to do more with this prompt: River <3

alright you successfully tricked me with suggesting I sprint this prompt so it got a solid hundred words or so longer than I usually let them. Curse you!!! /joking

Have hualian on a boat!

-

The rocking of the boat was gentle, and clearly soothed Xie Lian. Hua Cheng smiled lightly, looking down at his husband. The scrap god was cuddled up close, head propped up against his shoulder with one arm wrapped around his waist. He stared out at the river and its passing banks placidly. His thumb, pressed above Hua Cheng’s silver belt, rubbed back and forth softly. Hua Cheng wasn’t sure he’d even noticed.

“Mm, San Lang...” Xie Lian said quietly. “It’s been ages since I had such a nice boat ride.”

“I could make it better,” Hua Cheng offered. This had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, prompted by a story of Xie Lian’s second banishment and a river dock located conveniently nearby. This was a simple boat Hua Cheng had bought off the first guy whose boat wasn’t falling apart. It was bare and unfurnished and small enough that the two of them had to press close to fit. It was nothing compared to what he could give Xie Lian with a little more time. However, Xie Lian shook his head.

“No,” he said. “I like this. San Lang would give me some big, fancy boat if I asked, but we would need servants to staff the boat. I like just having you.”

With warmth kindling in his chest (like that warmth ever went out), Hua Cheng carefully pressed his lips together.

“I’m glad to know gege only wants me,” he said, restraint quickly caving to mischief. He laughed, a bark of a sound, when Xie Lian dug his thumb into his side in response. He meant no harm, but the precision of the most skilled martial god in all the heavens was nothing to shake a finger at.

“Who else would I want?” Xie Lian asked, half-plaintive, half-humorously. “San Lang, you know what I meant.”

Hua Cheng, smiling, pressed a kiss to the top of his husband’s head. It ended only when Xie Lian pushed himself up, seeking a more intimate sort of kiss.

“Mm, I see,” Hua Cheng spoke in a low tone when they parted. Xie Lian had turned himself around to reach his mouth, and was now nearly lying atop him, careless with his body the way only a lover could be. Hua Cheng couldn’t resist grabbing his waist, pulling him closer and luxuriating in the warmth of his body. “Good point. If the boat was staffed, we couldn’t do this.”

They absolutely could ‘do this’, but his darling prince had a lot of hang-ups about... amorous activity around others, and a boat could be a tricky place to get him to forget that. Ah, perhaps a viewing platform above the deck, carefully shielded to suppress noise...

Xie Lian flushed. “San Lang,” he complained softly, but his fingers, tellingly, rubbed the catch of his belt.

Yes... he would have to come back to this later. For now, there were more important things at hand.

Happy six sentence Sunday!

(It's like Monday afternoon for me but still not gonna pass this up)

(you knew I wouldn't be able to pass this up didn't you) 1) His Highness’s eyes remained wide and confused, like he couldn’t understand what he was seeing, but he took one stuttering breath and then another. 2) He also had never considered there might be a third option- someone neither mortal nor heavenly. 3) “You must be wondering why this is happening to you,” Hua Cheng said softly. 4) While Xie Lian was certainly guilty of impulsively taking Hua Cheng’s arm or accidentally walking so close their shoulders bumped, Hua Cheng was equally guilty of such things. 5) His Highness was crouching down, and though he was surrounded by majestically blooming peonies, he was focused on a single rogue dandelion that was on its last leg, puffy and white. 6) “You don’t owe him a big gambling debt or something, do you?” Nan Feng asked lowly, out of earshot of his partner.

“Well Daozhang as it happens, I’ve been searching for you too. For months now actually! You see I happened to sample that New Growth After The Rain Soup you made back at the old camp.” Li Fu laughs, a horrible wheezing sound that seems to come from his almost translucent throat.

“The others tried to warn me y’know about your cooking. Said no sane man could eat it and survive. Yet you ate a bowl and it seemed just fine and well… I’ve always been a curious one.”
