I was tagged by @fern-stone💕 As a self-professed wordy writer, expect more than three lines.

Maiden's Promise [Wang Chuqing / Song Qiutong, | 二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 / 2ha | G rated | 982 words]

"Once all the flowers service their purpose, plucked and boiled away, we harvest the remains. The stem and roots must be dried, ground down and pulverized into a paste—" She deposited the plant in Song Qiutong's waiting basket. Her remote expression hardly wavered. "Then the maiden becomes a poison of lethal potency."

Song Qiutong swallowed, knees weak under the full weight of her black gaze, a thin veil of composure obscuring a fathomless, roiling pit. If she stared for too long she felt as though it might suck her in. She didn't know any longer whether that inspired fear or exhilaration.

Hold the Horrors Close with Both Hands [Lang Qianqiu / Xie Lian | Heaven Officials Blessing | E rated | 4.1k words]

Lang Qianqiu gripped the sides of the coffin, unable to rise from it, splinters digging deep into the flesh of his hand. He wanted to wail and thrash the thing to pieces. Press his hands futilely at the old wound long since healed.

To his abject horror, the desire burning in him hadn't abated. He wanted guoshi still. This, this was the thought that had him crying out.

"A prince doesn't cry," guoshi said, his cold instructions at odds with the gentleness of his tone, the sympathy in his gaze. It pierced Lang Qianqiu deeper than any disapproving reprimand. "He accepts the consequences of his actions with dignity and grace."

Reciprocity in the Modern Age [Xue Zhengyong / Rong Jiu | 二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 / 2ha | M Rated | 4.3k words]

Rong Jiu took his sweet time extracting himself from the most comfortable bed he'd ever slept in. The soft warmth calling to him the moment he stepped away, shrugging on a robe to at least cover up but exerting little effort to rearrange himself into a more presentable facade. This one wasn't paying him for the privilege just yet and pretty this early in the morning cost extra. Dressed in a hotel robe two sizes too big, short black hair in disarray, displeasure set on his features, he unlocked the door and opened it.

"Good morning! Ah, did I wake you?" Xue Zhengyong asked, too loud and energetic. Rong Jiu closed both eyes, feeling physically assaulted by his morning person aura.

"Yes," he answered flatly. Pleasantries were also costly at this hour.

Speed Bumps [Pei Ming / Quan Yizhen | Heaven Officials Blessing | E rated | 10k words]

As far as he knew, Quan Yizhen was more useless in the kitchen than Shi Wudu. The first time he swung by his place, giving Quan Yizhen a lift after one of their workout therapy sessions, there'd been a sizable amount of takeout containers in the fridge.

Then—like now, as he found Quan Yizhen practically pouting with a glass of water in front of him—Pei Ming set to work making him a proper meal. At least in his own home he didn't need to prompt Quan Yizhen to remember where his Yin-xiong kept the cooking supplies.

That had been their first unofficial date – sharing a bowl of noodles thrown together from the scant amount of unexpired ingredients they found. Quan Yizhen complained it wasn't breakfast time, or how Yin-xiong used to make it, but he eventually finished most of the bowl. And had himself a good cry.

Pouring Treasure into the Phoenix's Lap [Song Qiutong / fem!Chu Wanning | 二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 / 2ha | E Rated | 5k words]

“My hand is almost all the way inside,” Empress Song marveled, mouthing the words against Chu Wanning’s glistening swollen nipple. Even that light stimulation made Chu Wanning shudder. Tiny ripples in a roiling ocean.

“Does jiejie think she can take the rest?”

Impossible, flew through Chu Wanning’s mind. Ludicrous! She was stretched so far already. Any more and her seam would unravel.

O What The Woods Provides For Me [Shang Qinghua / Mobei Jun | Scum Villain Self Saving System | E Rated | 12k words]

Solitude had become a regular part of his life. Even when Mama was here, she wasn’t. Her heart and mind existed solely in the unchecked portions of the forest. With a lifetime of the same staring him in the face, unending, before he had even come of age… For the first time he realized how desolate this lone cabin was, surrounded by nothing but a sea of trees.

His eyelids drooped, the space in-between each blink growing longer and longer. A swaying afterimage appeared in the darkness.

Not alone, an airy voice whispered in his ear, carried by the wind blowing across his sweat-drenched face. It consoled him, pouring sweet promises into the gaping maw opening up inside. Xiao Mo will never be alone.

Why Not? [Shadow / Oka Shokichi | SK8 the Infinity | T rated | 4.4k words]

“A picture?” All the effort Oka put in to relaxing him almost came undone as Hiromi stared at first him then the phone, color creeping back slowly into his face. “With the two of us?”

“Yeah, move in closer,” Oka answered, pushing the buttons to get the right settings.

It took a bit of maneuvering. Hiromi had to crouch down for their heads to be level and they were pressed very close together to fit themselves and the whales into frame. Once they were into position, he said, “Okay, get ready to make a big shocked face in 3, 2, 1-”

On one, Oka turned to plant a big kiss on Hiromi’s cheek and took the photo. He excitedly checked the results, chuckling to himself then closing his phone without letting Hiromi see.

Cracks in the Golden Sun [Yin Yu / Quan Yizhen | Heaven Officials Blessing | T rated | 3.2k words]

He looked terrible.

His shoulders were slumped, throwing off his entire posture. It took several inches off his already short stature. The obnoxiously vigorous radiance surrounding him at all times had dimmed. He smiled at Yin Yu, doing his best attempt at seeming normal. Quan Yizhen was never good at hiding his emotions.

“I’m back shixiong,” Quan Yizhen said, softly.

“So you are,” was all Yin Yu could think to say.

You Can't Escape the Light [Chu Shuzhi / Guo Changcheng | 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018) | G rated | 3.4k words]

This train of thought was derailed when Guo Changcheng quietly asked, “What do you need?”

And Chu Shuzhi just stared.

He failed to remember the last time someone asked him that question without being dismissive, evasive, or aggravated. Guo Changcheng sincerely wanted to know how to help. Like he always did.

Even if he was so scared he shook and tripped over his words. Even if he did more harm than good and people yelled at him – Guo Changcheng kept trying.

The Other Side of the Crash [Luo Fenghua / Xu Shuanglin, Xu Shuanglin & Nangong Liu, Xu Shuanglin & Ye Wangxi | 二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 / 2ha | M Rated | 3k words]

Chuckling to himself at the thought, he heard the sound of the kitchen door opening and unmistakable shuffling steps of their fourth family member. Quietly, Nangong Liu pushed the chair Yang’er sometimes uses to watch her baba work, little legs swinging over the side. He climbed into it, decidedly bigger than Yang’er, and started to peel the orange treasures he’d stolen from the kitchen. Scarred fingers struggling to get it all off in one smooth peel, like gege, with little success.

Out the corner of his eyes, Xu Shuanglin watched him poke out his tongue in concentration, his motor skills hampered somewhat after the accident. Trying to make sure he pulled apart perfect, whole segments for gege. This new routine of theirs felt so familiar and wrenched at Xu Shuanglin’s heart. His amused smirk turned into a wistful one as those scarred fingers, so much larger than the young, unmarred ones who he remembered, place a slightly mangled tangerine piece on to the corner of his makeshift office desk.

Without a word, he ate it, one hand still typing away. His silent audience giggling behind his hand. The faded marks covering his face crinkling up in a way that was almost cute.

Tagging @tehri, @crimsonrainseekingflower, @jaggededges123 and anyone else who wants to do it!
