Wen Kexing’s smile faded. For a fleeting moment Zhou Zishu thought he had understood, despite his own wordlessness. After all, he was his zhiji—the one who knew him.
Or at least, he had once believed so.
Summary: Snowed in inside the World's Armory, Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are forced to confront the consequences of their mutual deception.

a longing to ask the lone swan where it goes

Finding their way back to each other was the easiest and the hardest thing they had ever done.
Summary: Zhou Zishu desperately yearns for Wen Kexing, but doesn't know how to ask for what he wants. Includes ridiculous attemps at seduction, an incredibly high amount of sexual frustration, and Jing Beiyuan coming to save the day.

So hear me out. Yknow ye baiyi and rong changqing. What if yby gets hanahaki but when he becomes immortal it doesn’t cure it it just means that it can’t kill him, and so yby has this progressive terrible disease that gets far worse than it would be capable of getting in a normal living person, and he continues to have it even after rcq dies

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
These are the stories of some people, all more or less queer, that live their lives in the City, are all interconnected (either as friends or as rivals) and go through both fun and difficult times together.
This modern AU for several historical and/or wuxia c-dramas is set in some large globalised city adjacent to the Sinosphere, or at least with a very sizeable Chinese diaspora. I don't know enough about Taipeh, and Singapore is out of the question for reasons, so I'm just calling it The City and shall leave it at that. It has everything a city needs -- a university, high-rises, an IKEA, internet cafés, a gay scene, corruption in the building sector, an airport, and young edgy artists. It's hot there in the summer, very rainy in autumn (think typhoons, the way they tend to interrupt life in Japan) and temperate in winter. In this place, characters from
Word of Honor
The Untamed
A League of Nobleman
Mysterious Lotus Casebook
Sleuth of Ming Dynasty
and some more that are a bit blink-and-you-miss it,
are living their modern, non-magical lives which I am following along in this series.
The main parts are "A Matter of Priorities" (Rong Changqing/Ye Baiyi from Word of Honor / Tian Ya Ke) and "Detoxify" (Li Lianhua/Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing from Mysterious Lotus Casebook), but everybody gets their moment in the limelight. Even Mo Xuanyu.-

my crackpot theory about why ye baiyi let wenzhou go after The Reveal:
he did it bc it's what rong changqing would have done
Xie'er could feel the Xie Wang part of him losing patience before he put a mental lid over that boiling pot. He's not used to being denied physical intimacy, no matter how awkward or unique the situation.

This is a beautiful fic. I didn’t know what I was getting into when I clicked on it, the tags kinda explain what is going on but make much more sense in retrospect. A combination of YeXie and RongYe
