    Summary

    The essence of evil is thick enough to drink, and he can taste it even now, before he’s let it under his tongue and into his throat. It’s oppressive, and he has to resist the call to drown in it.

    Xie Lian tries to pull away but the grip on his wrists tightens to something dangerous.

    “I wouldn’t, if I were you,” Hua Cheng murmurs.

    Summary

    “We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

    Summary

    “The first stroke, the commitment, is always the most difficult part,” he murmurs, eyes on his paper.

    Xie Lian takes it as an invitation and steps into the room. “What about deciding which stroke is the last?”

    “My art never quite compares to my subjects, so I don’t worry myself with perfection.” With that, he puts brush to paper and inks his first stroke.

    Xie Lian needs a room for the night in a new city and is humbly directed to the one ghost who can fulfill any wish if you're willing to play.

    Summary

    The buyers who are coming to the auction today are from all over the world, according to the loud, pompous host. The host tells Porsche that he should be grateful for this opportunity.

    They put jewelry on him. They cover a bruise with makeup. They tell him where to go and where to stand, and then he waits.

    He doesn’t resist, doesn’t fight it. He never fights unless he’s told to.

    ~~~

    Kinn and Porsche first encounter each other at a very exclusive, very high-end auction. They end up having to flee the scene.
