    Summary

    “Hypothetically speaking,” says Xie Lian, “what would you do if someone—not me, of course—told you that they have feelings for San La—your roommate? Even though they live halfway across the world and it will probably never happen and—”

    “This is an incredibly specific hypothetical situation,” says He Xuan through a mouthful of his dinner.

    Xie Lian falls in love with his best friend's roommate. This wouldn't be a problem if they didn't live on opposite ends of the world.

    Summary

    "I can't believe you two are seeing each other! You two love each other now, don’t you?”

    Feng Xin plastered on the fakest smile Mu Qing ever seen him flash. “Yes, so much in love.”

    He wrapped an arm around Mu Qing’s waist, drawing him closer to his body. Mu Qing tried not to push him away on reflex and hoped his disbelief was interrupted as shyness. Curse his stupid, shitty luck!

    The five times Feng Xin and Mu Qing faked being in love, and the one time they didn't need to.

    Summary

    “So what’s the issue then?” Xie Lian asks.

    Feng Xin takes a deep breath in, lets it out, and then breathes in again. “What I’m trying to say is, I think I’m homophobic.”

     

    Or, Mu Qing starts going out on dates, and Feng Xin starts slowly losing his mind.

    Summary

    Keith is an engineering student with no theatre experience, determined to stage Hamlet just the way he always wanted. The university's Shakespeare Society, fresh off the back of a humiliating last performance, is his perfect opportunity. Lance McClain is a seasoned veteran of the stage and his lead actor. They have... differing creative visions. Can they work together in time for opening night?

    Summary

    Keith is trying to make himself smaller, to bury his head deeper in his knees, and Lance’s heart freezes in his chest. Anger dissipating like an exploded firework, Lance lets his hand fall limply to his side, mind blurring with static. When he tries to speak, nothing comes out but a choked noise, so he tries again.

    “Keith,” he breathes. “Keith I’m not going to hurt you.”

     

    (Keith has an abusive past, but with time and care Lance helps him become accustomed to positive touch.)
