Summary
Tony looked away, but not before Stephen saw the moisture blurring his eyes, yet with a glint that mixed vulnerability and gratitude.
"Two years of listening to you say those cold things..." Tony shook his head slowly, "and just today, you decide to sound almost human."
Stephen gave a brief smile.
"Blame the rain," he replied, his gaze following the same liquid path Tony had observed moments before. "It makes me sentimental."
"Then let it rain more often," Tony murmured, resting his head on the pillow.

Summary
The Twin Jades were destined to marry for the sake of ending wars and forging alliances between the various sects. This arrangement was designed to ensure peace and prevent further conflict and loss of life. Traditionally, the Elders selected the spouses for the Jades early on, then placed each Jade in seclusion with their chosen mate for a month, during which all contact with the outside world was forbidden.
One concern plaguing Lan Xichen was that his brother’s beloved had been chosen as his own Omega. Never having met this Omega, Lan Xichen resolved not to become intimate with him.
However, upon meeting the Omega, Lan Xichen realized the person was nothing like Lan Wangji’s description of Wei Wuxian. The Omega was small, with wide golden eyes that disarmed his reservations completely.
Meanwhile, Meng Yao found himself married to the Spare of the Lan Clan. To his surprise, the usually cold and reserved Twin Jade was unexpectedly gentle and frequently smiled.
Lan Qiren, accustomed to cleaning up after his brother’s mistakes, faced even higher stakes this time. Yet, knowing the pattern of his life, he expected that he would pay the price, as he always seemed to bear the consequences in the end.

Summary
“Dabi.” The word slipped out of Toya’s mouth, replying so naturally Toya probably would’ve believed himself if it weren’t for the fact it wasn’t his name.
They both stiffened, staring at one another. Toya quickly felt his face heat up with a bright pink.
What the hell was wrong with him?
“I mean! Toya,” He rapidly corrects himself, mind racing and heart thumping for some reason.

Summary
Leaning forward, he clicks his fingers. Ushers her close, though she takes her sweet time. Hips swaying, smile coquettish, her palms soft and warm on his knees as she taps out - one-two, one-two - the nonverbal signal for consensual play.
After all, consent is sexy.
The sound she makes - a puppyish whimper, low and lilting, as she pulls herself up to nuzzle at Rupert’s throat - is the best kind of tease.
“And what’s your name, hmm? Such a sweet pup.”

Summary
Inspired by that tumblr post:
"In times of peace, rulers grow their hair long. In war, they cut it short. A young ruler refuses to cut his hair, attempting to make peace with the invaders. The enemy leader, steps forward, draws their blade and cuts it themselves."
There will be angst, canon-standard miscommunication, romance, love, a happy ending!

Summary
Newly ten years old, Jia Baoyu already knows that there’s very little he can do to change the world around him. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t wish things were different though. So when a venture with his Grandmother takes him into the fallen La Manchaland, Jia Baoyu decides to try and help someone, one last time.
Don Quixote of La Manchaland has spent the last two hundred years dwelling on all his failures, and has come to the only logical conclusion: That his nature as a bloodfiend prevents any manner of change, and that his dream had been nothing but a fantasy. With his family dead, he has resigned himself to the same fate; only to end up living with a small human child who still has a dream of his own.
Maybe they can both learn something from each other.
(Or: Jia Baoyu dreams, Jia Mu schemes, and Don Quixote relearns what it means to try.)

Summary
Alec stumbled into his bedroom and slammed the door shut, leaning back against it, chest heaving. Alec had considered many different possibilities about who his roommate would be: if they’d get along, if the person would be awful. However, he had not prepared for this. He hadn’t considered the possibility that his roommate would be a sculpture hand-carved by God himself sent to torture Alec specifically.
or
Malec are college roommates and Alec is extremely thirsty. Stupidity ensues.
