summary: Tango was happy to be home on Hermitcraft after Double Life, even though he already missed Jimmy.

Good thing Impulse and Zedaph have a knack for that sort of thing.

AO3


We Are Not Wise by Lucy K.R.

fiction || the scum villain’s self-saving system || m/m || shen yuan/luo binghe || teen & up || no major warnings apply || 52,243 || complete

summary: Transmigrated into a version of Proud Immortal Demon Way where cultivators manifest their own souls into spiritual weapons, Shen Yuan finds himself sort of kind of…accidentally blackmailing Shen Qingqiu into taking him on as a disciple before Luo Binghe joins the sect.

That should give Shen Yuan plenty of opportunities to make sure nothing goes wrong for his favorite protagonist, right? RIGHT!?

A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords.

Enter the enigmatic, elegant, beautiful Shen Qingqiu–a pearl who quickly cements himself in Luo Binghe’s heart.

Unfortunately, their quiet days spent side-by-side on planet earth are quickly drawing to a close. When the appearance of Blue Diamond and his human pet changes everything, can Luo Binghe find a way back to Shen Qingqiu?

Desperate For It by unforth/Nina Waters

summary: Chu Wanning is walking, alone, down a narrow alley when he’s assaulted by a man far too powerful for him to resist.

Chu Wanning should have known better than to get into this situation.

AO3


Drinking Vinegar by unforth/Nina Waters

summary: Most days, Liu Qingge goes to System Shock Bookstore to pick up the BL titles that Liu Mingyan wants, and he definitely DOESN’T go to System Shock Bookstore to ogle the cute twink owner Shen Yuan.

Most days, by the time he leaves, Liu Qingge resolves to never go back. He’s never going to get what he wants, not when Shen Yuan is so obviously interested in the beefy guy who works at the store’s cafe.

But, of course, Liu Qingge always goes back…

(Liu Mingyan might kill him if he doesn’t pick up her pre-orders, after all…that’s the only reason…)

other tags: Modern Setting, Idiots to Lovers

AO3


Dawn by unforth/Nina Waters

fiction || mo dao zu shi || m/m || lan wangji/wei wuxian || general audiences || no major warnings apply || 1,325 || complete
