    Summary

    Xie Lian knew exactly what Hua Cheng was doing. He'd used the same tactics to beguile Xie Lian time and time again over the two years they'd spent together. Xie Lian had learned to spot the signs, the nuances that made up Hua Cheng's personal brand of courtship. Because Xie Lian was so painfully aware of all the things Hua Cheng did to get him into bed, perhaps even more aware than Hua Cheng was, it shouldn't have worked. He should've been immune to it. But he wasn't. Not even a little bit.

    As Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow and waited for him to respond, Xie Lian had to grip the car seat to stop himself from climbing him like a tree.

    --

    AKA: The time Xie Lian was so horny he tried to have sex with Hua Cheng in the car and everything that could go wrong did.

    Summary

    [The scream he lets out is inhuman. It’s a sound that reaches the heavens, shakes the ground there. A sound so horribly stricken, so laden with grief that every animal for miles around- silenced initially by the powerful ghostly aura that trod through the fields- now howls along. There will be myths surrounding that sound, about the animals’ cries, about how every human who heard it burst into tears that were not their own, but for now all that exists is a mourning ghost and the breathing corpse of a god.]

    Or: another Xie Lian prays to Wu Ming in the coffin fic.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.
