Summary:

Zhou Zishu, the leader of the Window of Heaven, finds himself exchanging letters with a mysterious Philantropist Wen. Nothing the man writes make any sense at all.

There is more in this world than you are aware of, Lord Zhou. There are magical keys and fantastic mirrors and greedy spirits and a desolate future. Now, I’m not one to always look for the bright side, but sometimes, even in desolation, there are interesting things., Philantropist Wen writes.

Amid outrageous flirtations and detailed descriptions of the future, Zhou Zishu began to suspect there is more to Philantropist Wen than he had first thought.

S’s Notes:

This was such an imaginative au! The pen pals turned lovers was so fun, and the wuxia fantasy elements were incredibly fun and engaging. A fun read!

“I’ll have you know I still think this is very corny” Isak said to a completely uncaring Even.

  To show how unfazed he was with Isak’s statement, Even gave a small twirl, stopping right on front of Isak, with his mouth and pouty lpis opened, ready for a kiss. Isak did not disappoint. He enveloped Even’s neck with his arms and brought their mouths together, 5 fine frøkner pumping around them.

  “You know this is our song, right?” Even asked jokingly right after they stopped kissing, their foreheads still together.

  Isak snorted and kissed Even a bit more.

  “This is so not our song. I refuse to condone with this.” Isak whispered into Even mouth, causing his boyfriend to laugh harder.

  Either the dj was as corny as Even or Even had bribed the person – which, knowing how extra Even could be Isak did not discard this possibility – but the fact was that right after Gabrielle, Always, from Bon Jovi started playing.

  Even open this very big smile as if he could not contain himself.

  Oh, boy, here we go. Isak thought.

  Right before his eyes, Isak saw Even’s entire body change, he was completely focused on Isak while his mouth forming the words with no sound. It seemed everyone else had disappeared from the place, and there was only Isak, Even and Bon Jovi shouting about love.

  “Now I can't sing a love song / Like the way it's meant to be / Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore / But baby, that's just meeeeeeee” Even lip-synced, his hand on Isaks cheeks and hair, his mouth puffing hair on Isak’s neck.

  Isak shuddered. Even was not only serenading him. Even was seducing him. On the dance floor. With all their friends looking.

  Even stopped lip-syncing and started singing when the next verse came on.

  “Yeah I, will love you, baby / Always and I'll be there / Forever and a day, always” Even whispered hotly on Isak’s ear, caressing Isak’s cheek with his own, Even body glue to his, one knee in the middle of Isak’s legs.

  “Ohmygod” Isak said and kissed Even fiercely.

Happiness is an ongoing battle
