    Summary

    Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
    "Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
    "Your Highness."
    "Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
    Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
    "It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.

    Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.

    Summary

    “I just don’t care much about dating.”

    “Right,” said Reki, staring straight ahead and squinting a little like he was concentrating deeply. After a few moments of silence, he shook his head like he was clearing it and asked, “Have you ever dated someone?”

    “No.”

    “Okay, well, have you ever... liked anyone?”

    -

    Or: Reki finds out Langa’s gay and immediately goes on a mission to find Langa the boy of his dreams. (Because his best friend deserves to find someone who will make him happy—not because he’s projecting or anything.)

    Langa doesn’t understand why he needs a boyfriend when Reki is already right there.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is passion and loyalty personified when he speaks, his voice a raw whisper. “Let me love you. Let me show you. I promise you, I’ll never leave you. I’ll never hurt you. I’ll forever be devoted to you, and only you.”

    Xie Lian used to think he had experienced every emotion there was to experience in this world, but he was wrong. Being loved by Hua Cheng is like being a butterfly, delicate and precious, held in the cusp of his hands with all the gentleness in the world, being kept safe from the raging winds and the way people could be cruel. And suddenly, everything he’s ever done makes sense to him, it means something now, all because Hua Cheng sees him. He knows him.

    One person is enough.


    Or: A post-canon story of Hua Cheng and Xie Lan talking and learning and exploring intimacy together.
