“My soulmate died,” Guo Changcheng says softly. “That’s what they say, at least. What the burn mark means.” He looks up in quiet despair. “It’s true, isn’t it?”

Chu Shuzhi feels his own scarred mark flare up, like it’s burning all over again. A scorching reminder of what he’s done and what he’s lost.

“Yes,” he says hoarsely. “It’s true.”

Ye Zun wearing an oversized sweater and a faint smile. He's holding a Shen Wei plush doll.

He knows how hard it is for Zhao Yunlan to leave him and didi alone for this. But Zhao Yunlan had tried to watch exactly once and it had—not ended well.

For years, fans of Rope Dragon and Bai Yu- the sweetest rigger on the planet according to his fans- have been begging for a collaboration between the two powerhouses of the local Shibari community. After Rope Dragon winds up in a bind after ending his partnership with his rigger a month before his next show will the fans finally get their wish?

-or-

That time a DM from Rope Dragon gave Bai Yu a heart attack and changed his life forever.

He knows how hard it is for Zhao Yunlan to leave him and didi alone for this. But Zhao Yunlan had tried to watch exactly once and it had—not ended well.

[Podfic of my own story.]

The magnetic pull between Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei has resonated through the centuries, and every time they're in the same place at the same time is a chance for their first kiss. The kiss that changes everything.

“Don’t touch him!” a woman was yelling, furiously upset. “Keep your human medicine away from him! He doesn’t need it.”

Cheng Xinyan knew that voice. She hurried forward to pull the curtain aside, and sure enough, Da Qing’s volatile friend was glaring daggers at an orderly, preventing him from getting close to Da Qing, who was lying on a gurney, eyes closed, head lolled to one side.

Zhao Yunlan doesn't quite understand how things in the ancient past can be so different from what he'd thought.

Zhao Yunlan has had a Very Long Day, and Da Qing has left him a present.

Zhao Yunlan waited to see if Lao Xie would take the bait. He had a whole speech prepared, dwelling on the fit of Shen Wei’s pants and the taut elastic of those garters spanning his biceps. Maybe he could get Shen Wei to blush a bit, or fidget, or give him one of those looks that promised retribution later.

Or: Shen Wei introduces Zhao Yunlan to his tailor.

Shen Wei reaches out to pull Zhao Yunlan close to him, hoping to shield him and pass it off as quick reflexes, but it happens just a moment too late. Before he can stop it, the man’s pen-knife slices into Zhao Yunlan’s arm with one sharp strike.

Zhao Yunlan buys a comfy old sweater at a yard sale, and thinks it's his. Da Qing and Shen Wei have other ideas.

Two times it wasn’t a tea date, and one time it sort of was.

Five times Zhao Yunlan looked out for Shen Wei.

Da Qing hangs over the back of the couch and stares as lao-Zhao toes off his boots. “What did you say?”

“I’m going to a faculty schmoozefest as Professor Shen’s date.” Lao-Zhao scans the chaos next to the bed. “Have you seen my brown jacket?”

Ye Zun had a very bad week. Luckily Zhu Jiu is here to make it a bit better.

Maybe if it were anyone else Zhao Yunlan would be feeling afraid, but it’s not. It’s Shen Wei, and all Zhao Yunlan can think right now is that he wants those powerful hands on him, that mouth on his, hot and bruising and everything Zhao Yunlan’s been dreaming about for longer than he cares to admit.

Early in their relationship, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei talk about coming out to the SID.

Lin Jing sets out to squash some rumours at the university, but things get out of hand. (Set late in episode 3.)
