    Summary

    Xie Lian gently pushed the molded, ashen door open with a loud creak and peeked his head out.

    His heart dropped.

    This was indeed the village of Puqi, or was. The entire village was destroyed, trees burnt, houses abandoned and covered in moss.

    or

    In another universe where Xie Lian never existed, left Hong'er to falling to his death with no one to catch him. Many years after the incident of Hong'er's death, a powerful crimson calamity leaves Xianle in ruins. Stripping Xianle of its wealth and fame, causing its residents to slowly die out.

    Xie Lian wakes up in said universe, one, with a splitting headache, and two, with no spiritual powers. It seems that in every universe, Xianle will always be led to its downfall.

    Summary

    Arthur caught his sorcerer’s eye again. “If Emrys did have a simple, human identity, you wouldn’t have any suspicion who it could be, at all?”
    “I wouldn't, I’m afraid.” Merlin shrugged one shoulder, seeming somewhat defeated. “I’ll look into it.”
    Once, years ago, Arthur had been sure he could tell when Merlin was lying through his teeth. How frustrating it was to know that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Or: In a fixed-it post-canon, word begins to get out about the godlike sorcerer Emrys who will aid the Once and Future King to unite all of Albion. This, of course, results in all the leaders of Albion beginning their attempts to win the elusive Emrys’ favor, in order to be chosen as his prophesied King.
    Even as his Court Sorcerer, Merlin lives to antagonize Arthur and decides to inform the world -as Emrys- that he has already chosen his King, in a... less-than-conventional way.

    (Can be read standalone from the series.)

    Summary

    It was Xie Lian's dream to become an undercover officer and leave his boring desk-job behind. On his first mission in the field, the plan comes crashing down on his head.

    Freshly woken from a coma and a bullet-wound to the head, Xie Lian is given a chance to redeem himself. He must infiltrate one of Hong Kong's most prolific Triads, and in an effort to crack-down on drug trade, find information on the next big herion transport for the police to sieze.

    San Lang, a prominent member of the Triad, has recently lost his boyfriend, a young man that Xie Lian looks alike. Flirting with San Lang might be the easiest ticket to the heart of the organisation.

    If only getting out was so easy.

    Summary

    The internet has decided that Ilya Rozanov is absolutely, definitely, 100% banging a Hollander.

    They’ve got photo evidence. Multiple sightings. Instagram stories from the same café. The man stayed OVERNIGHT at the Hollander residence.

    It’s the most legendary power move in NHL history: seduce your rival’s hot mom to assert dominance. There’s just one tiny problem with this theory. Ilya’s fucking a Hollander, all right. Just … not that one.

    Or in which Ilya’s boyfriend's mother keeps adopting him, the internet keeps assuming the worst, and Shane Hollander is having the worst month of his entire life. At least until he does something that breaks hockey forever.
