Summary
She was gorgeous. Effortlessly, unquestionably, absurdly gorgeous.
Her dark, silky hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail, a few strands escaping to frame a face that looked like it belonged to a sculpture in a museum. Her skin was smooth, with strong eyebrows, a perfectly symmetrical nose and pretty pink lips. And her eyes, a beautiful shade of brown, her gaze gentle but with a certain spark to it, exuding calm and confidence. She had this unhurried way of moving, like nothing could shake her.
As Jongho still found herself dumbly staring at the goddess that had just emerged from the back room of this little nail salon, Wooyoung was suddenly next to her, beaming at the deity with a broad smile.
„Yeosang!! I got you a new victim here.“
(OR: hopeless lesbian Jongho X nail tech and best friend's best friend Yeosang)

Summary
Yeosang’s always been a bit sentimental. Wet, his uncle used to call him. The remains of his friends are impossible to get rid of. Unlike the aforementioned uncle, who when dead, was promptly thrown in the river. But Yeosang’s dearest friends—he carries them with him. In his heart, and in his memory, and in his garden. And San’s skull is in the house, holding open the door to his and Jongho’s bedroom.
Jongho had been squeamish about the skull door-stopper initially. Which, fair. Alive-San never would’ve stayed still for so long. But the sun shone, and the snow fell, and Jongho acclimatised, and the white-shine of San became a comfort of sorts. Yeosang is sentimental.
Yeosang, Jongho, and the aftermath of the end of the world.

Summary
The abandoned manor on the hill, rumoured to be haunted and cursed, has a string of unexplained deaths and misfortunes attached to its name. Now Yeosang has vanished into its depths, and it seems that whatever’s inside has no intention of letting him go. Desperate, his boyfriend Jongho puts aside his scepticism and enlists the help of the Aurora Paranormal Investigators.
Hongjoong, Seonghwa and Mingi are good at what they do, but they soon realise that this is no ordinary haunting they’ve been called to help with. Why is the basement sealed off? What makes the ghosts so powerful, and why are they fixated on Yeosang? And why does the house seem so weirdly familiar to Mingi?
It’s a battle of wits between the living and the dead, and not everyone will survive…

Summary
Yeosang’s never been the it girl before, but ever since she transferred universities she’s been a hot commodity among the boys on campus.
In theory all the attention sounds great, but in practice she’s stuck defending herself against sleazy jerks left and right. After being harassed for her phone number for the millionth time, her roommate Jongho decides that it’s time to start getting back at these guys.
And that the best way to do it is to start catfishing them for their money.

Summary
To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.
He comes close, though.
By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.
What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.
“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”
Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

It’s a typical Wednesday afternoon the day the most beautiful man in the world walks into the EZ-PC, which is to say, Meng Yao is dealing with an idiot.
Meng Yao works the IT desk at a big box electronics store; Lan Xichen’s laptop seems to suffer an extraordinary number of mishaps.
(Or, five times Meng Yao provided excellent customer service, and one time he provided really, really excellent customer service.)

Literally my number one favourite Xiyao FF and possible one of my favourite FFs in general but maybe it's just 3AM delusions so who knows
