Between a Rock and an Idiot - by SmileOrGrimace
Lu Guang should have realized that he wouldn’t be greeted by normalcy when he returned home, but he didn’t. He's not nearly as affected by the stab wound as he is by Xiaoshi's reaction to it all.
There's something acutely painful about watching someone self-destruct in front of you, and Lu Guang, frankly, doesn't know what he's supposed to do about it.
It would help if the world could let him chill for long enough to figure it out.

Two emotionally stunted young men navigate trauma, subtext, and the misery of trying to feed yourself like a competent adult, all while solving other people’s problems. In for a penny in for a pound, as they say.

姻緣紅線 ~Red String of Fate~ - by TRANScendtheBInary
(MWI) is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wave-function is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse. This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe. The many-worlds interpretation implies that there are most likely an uncountably infinite number of universes, time is merely a many-branched tree, wherein every possible quantum outcome is realized."

resistance is futile anyway - by animegoil
To find a misplaced document, Cheng Xiaoshi dives into a photo Lu Guang took. It's easy - all he has to do is wait around for a while... and shower while in Lu Guang's body.
He brushes the tip of his fingernail experimentally against Lu Guang’s nipple, only to feel that spark run through him again. “Fuck, you really are that sensitive.”
You already know this, Lu Guang deadpans. Now can you move on with it?
Cheng Xiaoshi smirks. “C’mon, Lu Guang. What’s a little shower fun going to do to the past, hmm?”
The responding silence is all he needs as an answer.

Wouldn't Mind Being Yours - by UrsaMajorStories
The link between them was only supposed to be present during dives.
But when Lu Guang goes quiet for a little too long, and Cheng Xiaoshi panics, they find that their powers are able to do more than they originally thought.
(Or in other words, their powers literally telling them to just kiss already, at the very least, if not bang).

The Hardest Thing About Love (Is Noodles) - by NoomiShroomy
The first time Lu Guang slips up, he chalks it up to forgetfulness.
The second time he does, it catches him off guard.
The third time he does, he’s almost fully convinced that it’s become a bad habit. And its name is Cheng Xiaoshi.
