I usually use Novel Updates, but Carrds are great to support the author, find translations not on NU, find Content Warnings, and learn more about the story / other adaptations. If there's a novel not here, it can be helpful to search the name of the novel + "carrd" or "novel updates"

Attention danmei fans! Our fundraiser (link) has reached $470 USD for Palestine as of 8/3/2024 - thank you so much to all the prompters ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Notice: We've seen several donations that cover much more than the number of prompts requested! While this is great for our fundraisers, prompters can also use the extra money to request two types of "free" prompts; you can either leave "creator's choice" prompts where the creators are free to make whatever they like (specifying a fandom is optional), or donate prompts for fans who are unable to donate at the moment.
For example, if you want to make a $20 USD donation but only want to request a single SFW prompt for $5 USD, you can specify that you want to donate the other $15 as prompts for the rest of the fandom or let 1-3 SFW contributors pick what to create. You can also consider leaving creator's choice prompts for the fandoms listed below, since they have not received any prompts yet:

Summary:
~You're not taking proper care of yourself, boy.~
Fusheng moaned low in his throat, arms wrapping around himself as he swayed in the middle of the room. He couldn't think about that. He couldn't start down that road. Not now. Not now that he was finally doing better.
~I think a hot bath is just what you need.~
With a low cry, Fusheng forced his body back into motion, pacing, pacing, pacing, anything to exhaust himself enough so that he could sleep. Anything to outrun the memories. Anything to escape him.
~Maybe you need a little help with that.~
Fusheng lunged for the door to his room, uncaring who might be awake or asleep or pacing the hallway. He had to get out. Anywhere that that voice couldn't follow him. Anywhere where he could breathe. Anywhere that he couldn't feel those hands all over him with every step he took.
September 19, 2021:
*cracks knuckles* OK, everyone. Here we go. This last week and a half was a LOT with the holidays and work and just... LIFE, so sorry about the delay, but this chapter is the climax of the story and I wanted to make sure I gave it the time I needed to edit and iron it out properly. All the same warnings apply to this chapter as the rest of the fic...
BUT.
If this fic is the one in this series that most earns its warning, then this CHAPTER is the one in this FIC that most earns its warnings. PLEASE BE AWARE.
Glossary and detailed warnings in the endnotes, as usual.
...enjoy? ;D
Detailed warnings behind the cut, as usual, but BEWARE THAT THESE ARE EVEN MORE OF A DOOZY THAN USUAL.
Further details about warnings:
The first scene contains a moderate anxiety attack and some mild self-harm (Fusheng pinches himself by accident, then does it again, digging his nails into his skin, when he finds that it helped him regain some clarity). Mention is made to a phobia developing in regards to bathtubs/bathing.
In the second scene, Fusheng starts out about 75% of the way into a panic attack due to nightmares. Mention is made of poor self-care habits (e.g., an inability to bathe without inducing a panic attack). He's partway into flashback territory at this point, with memories of Xu Rui'an's voice acting like intrusive thoughts. He flees the house into the ocean, and seriously considers letting himself drown.
XXC saves him from that decision, but pushes him over the edge into a panic attack at the same time. In the discussion that follows, they manage to reconcile somewhat and Fusheng lets slip what Xu Rui'an had done to him that finally broke him. When they get up to go inside, Fusheng realizes that he's covered in sand and salt and is going to have no choice but to bathe. He begs Xingcheng to just knock him out with drugs and bathe him while he's unconscious. Xingcheng refuses, and in his panic, Fusheng finally drops into the flashback that he's been running from all night.
The flashback is a scene of sexual torture. If you want to skip it, it starts here: "But Fusheng was lost, spiraling down into that memory..." and ends here: "Mama! Yuan Yuan! Come quick! Please, I need help!"
Xu Rui'an and the guards force Fusheng down into a bathtub of very hot water, jerking him off at the same time, then pull him up just before he drowns. He orgasms soon after. He's then forced back into the water. Xu Rui'an and the guards start teasing him with the sponges, then push him back under the water, pushing several of the sponges inside of him, .They let him up again, then push him back into the water, this time with Xu Rui'an on top of him. Fusheng is forced to give him a blowjob until he blacks out from lack of oxygen.
When Fusheng wakes up he's being held down on a bench. Xu Rui'an starts fucking him with the sponges still inside him, the cold water from the sponges causing pain and cramping. He is forced to orgasm again, but still the rape continues. This is about when he comes out of the flashback.
Final scene contains a panic attack and mild dissociation due to the bathing.
Not a rec list I don't necessarily reccomend every novel I've read. If ya wanna know my exact thoughts and who I'd reccomend a novel to if anyone just send me an ask or make a reply. Most are danmei!
