Summary
The sword stops midair, and Shang Qinghua turns his head to look at Mobei-Jun. Seconds pass without a word being said, and they are so close, it would be so easy for Mobei-Jun to bend down and—
“I just… I think whoever created this, really, really loved you,” Shang Qinghua says, fast and with a blush tinting his face.
Or, the one where Mobei-Jun tries to confess, but Shang Qinghua beats him to it, confessing about another thing entirely.

Summary
“Do you know the reason why stars fall, my King?”
Mobei Jun doesn’t reply; however, the feather-like touch on his neck is answer enough.
Looking at the walls, wishing that he could gaze at the endless skies he misses oh so much, Shang Qinghua begins,
“They fall because they spend too much time watching the world of humans,” he says, tentatively leaning into the cold body beside him and finding no resistance. “They fall because they fall in love with the silly little lives of the silly little people down below. It is quite silly.”
Or, the one where Shang Qinghua falls, but Mobei Jun is there, waiting to catch him.

Summary
“if you can thaw the ice around your heart in winter, you can do anything.”
Shang Qinghua has an impossible mission to accomplish, but even with all the impossibilities, he’s almost sure he can at least try. Shang Qinghua has fire, has magic on his side. However, all his plans go astray when he encounters a strange lord.
Or, the one where Shang Qinghua embarks on a journey and ends up finding much more than what he thought he would.

waves of cold by tarkus

Summary
Loving Mobei Jun feels the same as watching the waves. It's cold and strong, it pulls him in, it sweeps him off his feet, and it drowns him in never-ending darkness. It makes him confused, it makes him gasp for breath. And if Mobei Jun is like those waves of cold, Shang Qinghua can only be the sorrowful, muted sand; it welcomes the crash of waves, it stays there, wishing, waiting, wanting, not caring if the waves will change its shape, color, or cadence. The sand will stand there, always, forever in its vastness, expecting the icy cold kisses of the fierce waves.
or, the one where Shang Qinghua gives up on writing PIDW, but finds a beautiful friend in return.

Neutron star collision by thedunesea

Summary
When two neutron stars orbit each other closely, they spiral inward as time passes due to gravitational radiation. When the two neutron stars meet, their merger leads to the formation of either a more massive neutron star, or a black hole.
Anakin Skywalker died during Order 66; this is all Obi-Wan Kenobi knows until a gravely wounded Anakin lands on the ship where the survivors are trying to regroup.
The dark side clings to his former Padawan, and what happened in the Temple remains uncertain. When faced with a truth more terrible than he could have ever imagined, Obi-Wan chooses Anakin, even in his darkness. He cannot lose him twice.
But darkness is generous, and it is patient.- Language:

Summary
Undercover Mission Status: Compromised.
Obi-Wan Kenobi descends into Coruscant’s seediest sabacc den dressed like a morally flexible freelancer, ready to extract intel and maintain emotional distance. Unfortunately, he did not account for one extremely shirtless Anakin Skywalker, who is lounging like a temptress, speaking fluent Huttese, and absolutely vibing. What follows is a high-stakes game of sabacc, repressed emotions, suspiciously intimate banter, and the Jedi equivalent of "we don’t know each other" roleplay—badly executed.
Obi-Wan wins a hand. He does not win the war.

Summary
“Were you in love with Darth Sidious?”
Anakin recoils, disgusted. “Are you insane? I am married!”
The ghost stares back, unimpressed. “Yet you followed him to Exegol. To forge a Sith Dyad, no less.”
“He promised control over time - over death itself! Weren’t you the one who created the ritual?”
“I was not.” Darth Plagueis says coldly. “Be thankful the ritual killed Sidious - and not your precious Kenobi.”
Anakin pales.
Palpatine takes his new apprentice to the Sith homeworld before Order 66, seeking to bind them in a Force Dyad. Surprisingly, the ritual backfires, killing Palpatine and stripping Anakin of his Force abilities. Stranded on Exegol, he lies to the Jedi Council about his Fall, beginning an unlikely exchange of letters with Obi-Wan.

Summary
Obi-Wan opens the door and there he is. Anakin. Like no time has passed at all. Anakin could have just come back from a training session with Ahsoka, here to ask if Obi-Wan wants to join him for dinner in the refectory. But then Obi-Wan takes in Anakin’s set of civilian clothes, his brown jacket and dark blue tunic, the tight-fitting brown pants with multiple sets of pockets along his thighs, and thick-soled boots. No, things aren’t so familiar after all.
--
Anakin left. The war was over. Palpatine was dead. And so he left in order to be a husband to his wife and a father to his children. Obi-Wan has had four years to come to terms with that fact. To heal from the war and move on as a good Jedi should. But when they run into each other by pure coincidence, is it any wonder neither of them can let go?
