Summary
A soft chuckle escaped him, his left eye still shining. “Though I don’t mind if gege calls me his gege either.”
Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I know just how well you don't mind…
Or: Xie Lian accidentally finds himself flung back in time, and the first thing he does is flirt with his husband. Who's currently not yet his husband, but hey, those are just technicalities.

Summary
He had it planned out. He had written the words in his notepad, then tore the paper and tucked it in a pocket. He swallows nervously as he catches sight of her standing under an overhead, watching the rain forlornly.
Marinette. He had learned that was her name.
...
“Is this another prank?” She asks angrily, her blue eyes boring into his.
He shakes his head.

Summary
Shen Yuan wakes up from more than a decade-long coma and quickly comes to the realization that while the people he cares about most have all grown much older, this growth has tragically failed to make them any wiser. Shen Jiu, his feral, identical brother (who is absolutely not his Ge, thank you very much), is still constantly going around chugging vinegar, Yue Qi remains painfully earnest while wearing his heart on his sleeve, and his new fellow disciples are all snotty-nosed, rich brats who were practically begging to have their pockets picked.
At least he has Luo Binghe, right?

Summary
People grow up, and people change. People will leave. Then you will be left all alone again.
You couldn’t stop it, no matter how tightly you held on. All you could do was accept it, smile while it lasted, and keep walking forward, one step at a time.
Or where Eunyung learns that home can mean something lasting.

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.

The most brilliant fanfic I will ever read. It's genius unparalleled. This is the rarest jewel to exist. This author writes poetry and does it with incredible ease. Every line is prose, I want to wrap it around my skin and have it tattooed upon my soul.

Summary
Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.
Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.
(For Merthur Angst Week 2021 Day 7: “No. You don’t get to talk.”)

The road to destroying everything and everyone who has ever wronged him, to becoming the highest ruler so that no one will ever have the right to control him ever again - it will start as simply as ruining Gongyi Xiao’s life.
Compared to everything else he’s already done, this should be easy.
-
Luo Binghe brings all his skills of cunning and brutality to bear on Gongyi Xiao, Head Disciple of Huan Hua Palace Sect. It… doesn’t go too well for him.

Summary
After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.
“Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.
Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”
“I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ
Or: Hua Cheng is cursed and has no memory of his beloved. Xie Lian takes a job in Ghost City to try to get Hua Cheng to fall in love with him again before he dissipates.
