    Summary

    “Qinghua often reminds me that violence does not mean the same thing for humans as it does for demons. When humans court, they give gifts and recite poems and spend time in each other’s presence. When demons court…” Mobei-Jun met his eye. “They fight.”

    Luo Binghe stared at him.

    “…Junshang spent approximately five years constantly fighting that one peak lord.”

    Luo Binghe’s eyebrow started twitching, and he lifted a hand to press against it. “So you’re telling me,” he said, “that when I was beating that brute to keep him from stealing Shizun’s body…” He inhaled deeply, then let out the breath in a rushed exhale. “Everyone in the Demon Realm thought that we were…courting?”

    “Yes.”

    “Get out.”

    Mobei-Jun got out.

    Years after winning Shen Qingqiu’s hand in marriage, Luo Binghe starts being inundated with questions from demons about his “second wife.” What second wife?! The only wife he needs is Shizun! And on top of that, he would certainly never court Liu-fucking-Qingge!

    Summary

    It starts like every other fight. Liu Qingge lands one hit to Luo Binghe's every three, both of them bruising and collecting injuries like art. It drags on until the sunlight starts to fade, until they're both breathing heavily and covered in a fine sheet of sweat.

    And then Luo Binghe makes a mistake.

    It's small - just a minor misstep, an unfortunate shift of balance. Against any other opponent, it wouldn't mean a thing. Wouldn't make a difference. But Liu Qingge has been watching. Liu Qingge has been waiting for Luo Binghe to make a mistake for years. He quickly changes his attack mid-step, throwing his weight against the opening Luo Binghe's mistake left, and Luo Binghe falls. Liu Qingge falls with him, of course -he compromised too much of his balance with that attack - but he makes sure to end up on top, straddling Luo Binghe and pressing the flat of Cheng Luan's blade to his neck.

    Without meaning to, without thinking to stop it, Liu Qingge smiles at him, bright and genuine and triumphant.

    Luo Binghe's breath catches.

    "I win."

    ---

    ~Or~ The one where Liu Qingge actually wins a fight and Luo Binghe ends up getting a little hot for Shishu.

    Summary

    “One large iced caramel macchiato with fifteen pumps of vanilla syrup, heavy whipping cream, light ice, and extra caramel drizzle, please,” he says, cheerfully. 

    You stare at him for a long moment. He stares back at you. Maybe. You don’t know because he’s wearing blindfolds.

    “There’s a Starbucks down the street,” you finally say.

    You are the co-owner of a small café in a small, eccentric district in Tokyo that is notorious for bizarre murders and supernatural occurrences.

    You think you’ve seen it all, but it turns out that nothing comes close to the man wearing a bad Kakashi cosplay who terrorizes you with his increasingly complicated and awful drink orders.
