Done for tdkr-kink prompt. If there are any two men less likely to share their toys than Bane and Bruce, John doesn't want to meet them. Also? John is not a toy, goddammit.

Ten years ago, Wei Wuxian wowed fans and competitors of the TV show “X Warrior” with his amazing debut. Everyone thought he was the show’s next big star, but after just two seasons he vanished into thin air, a scandal destroying his relationship to his family and his reputation. Even his fellow competitor and closest friend Lan Wangji never heard from him again. Now, in the 16th Season of “X Warrior”, an exciting new athlete has entered the competition. Obscuring his face behind a mask, he is only known as the “Yiling Laozu”. He’s ready to beat the challenging obstacle courses and perhaps even make it to the National Finals in Beijing. All eyes are on him – first and foremost Lan Wangji’s, who has a curious sense of déjà vu when he sees the Yiling Laozu on the course… -- Or, The Untamed meets American Ninja Warrior, Chinese edition.

Wen Chao's dungeons are warm and comfy. Especially when there's two of you. (Or: what if Wen Chao had been a slightly more competent - or perhaps slightly luckier - villain?)

Shen Yuan’s careful preparations to fake his own demise are rudely interrupted by actual death, and that should be the end of his story. But in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, nothing is ever quite that simple. Or: Shen Qingqiu dies while Luo Binghe is in the Abyss, and all his hard work goes to waste when the half-demon follows his original’s cold-hearted career path to the throne. However, fate (and the System) are not finished with the Demon Lord yet. And what better to throw at him than traitors, unknown diseases, and odd, suspicious civilians who know more than they should?

That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.

The dust of this mortal world cannot fall upon him—he is a strand-dancer, a weaver of time’s tapestry, dispatched by Gusu Lan’s Symphony to climb upwards into the knots and gnarls of alternate timelines and coax them towards the future in which Gusu reigns, benevolent and peaceful and supreme—the future in which Lan Wangji himself is sung into existence. He is here to change the past and deliver the future into being. It would not be wrong to call him fate. (or, This is How You Lose the Time War, but make it wangxian)

Xichen smiles, the first true smile Lan Wangji has seen in years. It brightens his whole face, smudges his graceful mask and makes it alive again. “So it would not be too bad?” Lan Wangji frowns in mute incomprehension. “To be married to him, Wangji. We want to propose an alliance.” // Five years after the end of the Sunshot Campaign, the Yiling Patriarch has only grown in strength. Desperate to avoid another war, the Emperor proposes that he marry his younger brother, Lan Wangji, hoping to consolidate his power and take the Stygian Tiger Seal for the throne. He doesn't realise that Lan Wangji has never stopped being in love with Wei Wuxian, or what this marriage will mean to them both.

It’s 1963. Five friends and one stranger gather for a cruise around the Mediterranean. Jiang Yanli, a spirited socialite from Hong Kong, stumbles onto a dangerous secret involving her brother Wei Ying. Sucked into a game of cat and mouse, she must rely on her friends and family to help stay one step ahead of a new enemy who threatens Wei Ying's safety and happiness. But the deeper she gets into the game, the more she realizes the people she thought she knew might have secrets of their own. A spy/heist AU for the MDZS Reverse Big Bang 2021!

Jin Ling hadn’t thought to keep track of Wei Wuxian. Clearly that had been a mistake.

“So?” Xie Lian asks. Hua Cheng can’t quite read his expression. Behind his usual cheer there’s something else, some question, some doubt. “Is Shi Qingxuan your special someone?” “Gege is…” Wrong, he’s wrong. Just say it. Say it. “So perceptive.” Or: At the Xianle beach house, Hua Cheng comes up with increasingly nebulous reasons to kiss Xie Lian, Xie Lian tries to set Hua Cheng up with Shi Qingxuan, Shi Qingxuan wants to ask out He Xuan, He Xuan plots righteous vengeance on Shi Wudu, and Shi Wudu is kind of an asshole. Also, Feng Xin and Mu Qing go on a treasure hunt.

“So, marriage alliances, to unite the sectors,” Mo Ran said, and then swallowed, trying to work the lump out of his throat. “The other sectors were jockeying for alliances with Rufeng and Guyueye with their senior disciples,” Xue Zhengyong said, grimacing. “They’re missing out! Sisheng has some of the best disciples. Meng’er alone is worth at least four of those ninnies from Taxue Gong! Not,” he added belatedly, “that you aren’t worth four of them yourself. And I convinced them of it, too!” “Please don’t tell me I’m going to be married off to four Taxue Gong disciples,” Mo Ran said faintly. ——— As part of a treaty to repair the relationships between the divided sectors in Longcheng, Sisheng Sector’s Mo Ran finds himself newly engaged to a stranger from Wubei Sector, much to his dismay. Just who is this Chu Wanning person he's supposed to marry anyway? Or: My Uncle Sold Me Off To Yuheng Elder?!??! 😱😱

There is nobody Mo Ran works with who does not love him. He’s worked hard to cultivate this image while he climbs the corporate ladder at Sisheng, and it’s paid off in dividends. He’s in every WeChat group. He can call in favors with any division of any department. He can make even the tightest of deadlines relax their stranglehold on his team. That is, there is nobody except, of course, Chu Wanning. And when Mo Ran starts having strange, unexplainable visions at work that have him seeing the man everywhere, keeping his career on track suddenly gets a whole lot harder.

“Patrick Brewer, huh?” Stevie interrupts when David is explaining where he was after school yesterday. “I don’t like what your eyebrows are doing,” David says. Stevie blinks innocently. “What are they doing, David?” “This is not a suggestive-eyebrows kind of situation, let’s get that straight. He’s not my type.” “Hmm,” Stevie says. Or, David needs a math tutor. Patrick is really good at math.

For years, Castiel has focused on his medical degree over his magic before ultimately (and quietly) combining the two. As a natural born witch, he has an innate connection to magic. Or rather, he did. With that connection strained to the point of breaking without the help of an animal familiar to center him, Castiel's mojo has all but worn out, and he has yet to find anything close to a match. To top it off, a crossroads demon won't stop pursuing him for a pact, but Castiel would rather die without magic than sell his soul. As his connection continues to fizzle out, he uses all but the last dregs of his power to cast a newly crafted spell that should, theoretically, lead him to a suitable familiar. And without enough magic to cast it again, whatever animal he finds is the one he has to keep.

Xie Lian accidentally summons a demon while he's preparing for his Halloween party. It goes not at all how he thinks it's going to. (Xie Lian summons a demon, has a lot of feelings about it, has a house party, and gets thoroughly railed, in roughly that order. Happy belated Halloween!)

As per the Hat's decision, Harry gets Sorted into Slytherin upon his arrival in Hogwarts—and suddenly, the future isn't what it used to be.

In a college that strongly prohibits sex on campus grounds, Xie Lian goes about his studies as a confused spectator of the struggles many students claim to be going through. But when his roommates enter a relationship and sneak out at night to escape the rules, Xie Lian's curiosity on the matter gets the best of him; expecting to be rejected, he contacts Hua Cheng, a sex worker who only accepts new clients by recommendation. Yet, to Xie Lian's surprise, Hua Cheng doesn't refuse him.

When an accident renders his ‘cousin’ unable to keep up with his nebulously criminal lifestyle in dreamshare Shen Yuan steps up and takes over his prickly, unknowable persona ‘Shen Qingqiu’. As he fits into his cousins life and tries to solve the mystery of what, exactly, went wrong, he finds himself increasingly entangled in Shen Qingqiu’s secrets, Shang Qinghua’s lies and the devastating cost of dreamshare itself. With lives on the line, Shen Qingqiu’s students on the rise and his own mind slowly betraying him, Shen Yuan has his hands full, all before Luo Binghe starts making a name for himself, with Shen Qingqiu’s name on his lips.

Xie Lian had never traveled in his dreams before now. Never opened his eyes and found a different bedroom, different people, a different life. But he had heard of this curse long ago. A curse about people who could glimpse opportunities, other lives. Their souls would travel as they slept. The only person he had known affected by it was a man whose wife had died. In his dreams, he saw her a thousand times, a thousand worlds where she had lived, and woke up in the world where she had not. Perhaps Xie Lian, too, had a traveler’s soul now, seeking out his Hua Cheng while he waited. But Xie Lian was not grieving. He was only waiting until Hua Cheng was back and he would have no need for dreams.

Xie Lian never judged a book’s contents by its cover. He had read plenty of good books over the years that had plain or uninteresting covers. Usually the title or summary compensated for the plain exterior and would be the reason Xie Lian pulled the book off of the shelf. Sometimes he’d take a book out of sheer curiosity, even if nothing drew his attention. Those were often the books where he would be pleasantly surprised. Underneath plain dust jackets could be hidden intricate gold leaf designs. Some may have folded maps in the back cover. Or, on rare occasions, Xie Lian would find the pages edged in gold, a feature that could not be seen until the book was pulled off the shelf to shimmer under the light. One day while perusing the stacks at the library, he finds a book shelved apart from the others, as though peerless. The plain dust jacket was in taters, revealing the faded red cloth of the hardcover underneath. And it was filled with paper butterflies. OR a 90s nostalgia modern AU where Xie Lian randomly meets Hua Cheng over a poetry anthology and they fall in love (slowly) and get up to shenanigans with their friends. Written for the 2021 MXTX Big Bang event.

When he’s six years old, Lan Wangji loses his mother, and from that point on random objects begin to disappear around him. When he’s nineteen, he meets Wei Ying and falls in love. When he’s twenty-one, he— Wei Ying’s fingers curl, and without thought Lan Wangji curls his as well, their hands held in the middle of the table. He can already tell this will be a moment that will change the course of their lives. “If you’re interested in any anomaly—time, space, both, neither—then you should be interested in the Burial Mounds.”

"I was wonderin' if you might… teach me?" Roy can only stare back at him. Teach him… what, how to pull? How to fuck? Roy must be dreaming, because there's no way in hell the Jamie Tartt he knows has the bollocks or the self-awareness to ask him for such a thing. Jamie's eyes only seem to get rounder the longer Roy looks at him, as if he's growing more hopeful of a positive answer. That particular delusion snaps Roy out of it. "No. Fuck no. Why the fuck would I wanna do that?"

What does it mean to be one person living more than one life? Is it truly possible at all to be two people when you have only one skin, and only one heart to be shared? These days, Lan Zhan has more names than friends. As Masked hero Hanguang-jun, he protects the night; as Lan Zhan, he nurtures his ward, A-Yuan. His only friend, his partner, and his almost-lover, the Mask known to him as Wuxian has died, and he is alone. And then comes Wei Ying, A-Yuan's father, returned miraculously from a year-long coma. In no time, he begins claiming Lan Zhan's heart. As for Hanguang-jun, he finds himself chasing the elusive Yiling Patriarch, a new Masked threat with unnerving powers and a disturbingly familiar laugh. Lan Zhan, Hanguang-jun, the whole person made of them both: he must fight through the confusion to the heart of the conflict, and in the process, learn the truth of his own heart.

It’s been fourteen days since Sawada Tsunayoshi disappeared without a trace during a botched Vongola Inc. mission. In which the Varia murder people, Mukuro is the past that comes back to haunt them all and Vongola Inc. doesn’t deal well when confronted with their mistakes.

Proud Immortal Demon Way's, lovable trash-lord, Luo Bingge, goes on a search to find his own Shen Yuan. Things happen. The image of his other self, defending, worshipping, Shen Qingqiu, haunted him. The hands in his hair, the gentle Qi filling his meridians…he dreamt of a man who was not his former Shizun, but wore his face, for months on end with no respite before making his choice. *this can be read as a sequel to He Was Made for Untidy Rooms and Rumpled Beds OR it can be read as a stand-alone.*

Charming gay disaster Ezra is forced to move home to his small town to raise his siblings after losing his mother in a mysterious accident, only to discover that magic is real, the local millionaire is trying to kill him, and his old high-school crush might not be straight after all.

Mo Ran doesn't usually make friends this way. But there's something inexplicable that draws him into a friendship with someone he meets online. He doesn’t know what the other person looks like, but Mo Ran imagines someone lean and austere and somewhat like his extremely rigid and uptight manager at work. However, said manager at work has a face that has been clearly blessed by his ancestors, and haunts Mo Ran’s dreams at night despite Mo Ran’s best attempts. Mo Ran does his best not to transpose that face onto the character he’s built for Xia Sini, mostly because Xia Sini kind of already reminds him of his manager. A manager that Mo Ran, for the better part of the past year, has had a huge crush on.

Rebecca came to Ted’s side, touching his shoulder. “The Sun has a picture of you and Trent. It is… unmistakably intimate.” Ted’s brain flashed to two weeks ago when Trent had finally handcuffed him to the headboard. Had they left the blinds cracked by accident? “I’m gonna need you to give me more context on that.”

Listen, it wasn’t Jim’s fault that he got kidnapped. At least, not the first time. Or: The one in which Jim gets kidnapped by a series of aliens, Spock is less than pleased by his bondmate's abduction, and then pon farr sets in and makes everything even more...interesting. This work can stand alone, but if you want to see how these adorable idiots got together in this 'verse, take a look at Part 1 of the series.

Lan Zhan looks so sad. He holds out his hand and says "Help." "Aish, this man," Wei Wuxian sighs. "What's wrong?" Lan Zhan holds out his hand a little further, insistent, and Wei Wuxian sighs again and takes it. A costly mistake that results in getting pulled deeper into Lan Zhan's apartment, squawking protests about how he's still wearing his shoes that Lan Zhan ignores. He leads Wei Wuxian down the hallway to the bedroom at the end. Then he shoves at Wei Wuxian's shoulder until he loses his balance and sits on the edge of the bed. Then he climbs on after him. Thirteen years after he dies on New Year's Eve, Wei Wuxian is reunited with Lan Wangji.
