Summary
Spock knows what humans say about him. His ears are too keen to miss the whispers. He has been referred to as Kirk’s pet. As his servant. As his bodyguard. As his shadow.
A relationship does not exist among humans that corresponds to what Spock is to Kirk. In Earth’s past, perhaps, it did, but it has been lost. He has read enough Earth literature to have found it in Lancelot and Arthur, Sam and Frodo, Olivier and Roland. But there is no name for it, no reference to search for. And when humans recognize it for what it is, there is this trace of disgust. Because it is unequal. Because they feel it is shameful to be in the position that Spock is.
It is the deeply held loyalty of one man toward another. It need not be returned; most often it is not, or not in the same way. Spock felt some of that for Pike. But what he feels for Kirk staggers him with its strength. It speaks deeply to an instinct within him which he cannot deny. Not that he chooses to protect Kirk. Not that he wants to follow him. That he must. That he will. That, in the second between danger and thought, his body moves on its own.

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:

Summary
In his first life, L died in the arms of his greatest enemy.
In his brief second one, he died alone.
And in his third, too-long life, L died anticipating finally getting even with the man who'd won their game one too many times.
And Light Yagami? If he'd known this is what picking up the Death Note would bring....well, he'd probably still have done it anyway.

Summary
Wen Kexing is at his wit's end from the frustration of pining after Zhou Zishu, who clearly isn't even attracted to men, so when a beautiful young thing approaches him with obvious interest, he genuinely considers taking him up on his offer. Zhou Zishu, for some strange reason, seems to have a problem with this. How odd...

Summary
Xie Lian has friends. He does — genuinely so. He has Hua Cheng of course. He has Mu Qing and Feng Xin after a long overdue reconciliation. He has Shi Qingxuan. There’s a myriad of heavenly officials he's come to enjoy the company of ranging from his former pupil Lang Qian Qiu to Hua Cheng’s “assistant” Yin Yu. But besides Xie Lian’s hesitancy to ask for anything ever, there’s certain topics of conversation he isn’t quite… comfortable bringing up with them.
So there’s one person Xie Lian can possibly talk to when it comes to matters of the… bedroom, he’ll say.
This is how he finds himself in Pei Ming’s armory trying to figure out how to ask the Martial God of the North how to fuck his husband.
