When Duen is absolutely frank with himself, he has to admit these contradictions are part of what delights him about Bohn. He’d burst into Duen’s narrow, dutiful life like a Bang Fai rocket, laughing, teasing and vibrant, larger than life and twice as handsome, and nothing has been the same since.
“I do want to kiss him,” Duen confesses. “But I want the moment to be right.”
What if there had been a bit more communication… Everything would have hurt less, that’s what.
Does one stand to greet a ghost? The point is moot, Yu Xi Gu realizes, because he couldn’t move from his chair if he tried. Just the sight of the man in the doorway is enough to drain all the color from his face and the strength from his limbs.
Xiang Hao Ting. Older, wearier, his face touched by grief and pain, but undeniably Hao Ting.
Few shows ever needed a fix-it more than this one, which left all of us feeling betrayed and hurt. This fic delivers, bittersweetly.
“Pharm.” Dean doesn’t turn around, but Pharm can feel the silent laughter vibrating through his body. “My shy little Pharm. I really haven’t. But I’d happily try it with you sometime, if you’re offering.”
Try it? Offering? Ohhh. Pharm is definitely blushing now, but also…intrigued? Speculatively he spreads his hands out on Dean’s back, fingers splayed. “My hands are awfully small,” he says dubiously.
“Who says you have to use your hands?”
Pharm drops the soap.
This is the Pharm topping fic I didn’t know I needed – perfectly in character and wonderfully sensual, with plenty of open communication on top!
Everyone else in the world might have believed Soulmarks were an amazing thing, that the one person their Mark matched was meant to be their great love. Brian didn’t, he knew better – Soulmarks were just a way to trap and ruin someone and he wasn’t going to let it happen to him.
Meeting his Mark, Dominic Toretto, wasn’t going to change anything about that. He wouldn’t let it. It didn’t matter if Toretto tried to do to win him over, Brian wasn’t going to fall for it.
Really, he wasn’t.
Soulmate AUs aren’t special faves of mine, but this one had me on the edge of my seat!
She’s reaching for him again, and Lan Zhan’s mind goes blank. The only thing he can think of as he desperately searches for a polite way to get the hell out of this situation is Jiang Cheng’s self-satisfied voice saying yeah, but it worked.
He opens his mouth, then suddenly remembers Wei Ying’s a boyfriend would have been more effective.
“I have a boyfriend,” Lan Zhan blurts out, and feels himself flushing red.
The woman looks at him, then takes a step back. “Always the pretty ones. Pity.”
Then Lan Zhan is, mercifully, alone.
This fic makes my heart smile. Not only is idiots-accidentally-dating one of my favourite tropes (especially for this pair), but I adore all the cute little details. I mean, Wei Ying’y email is yiling.pizza! 😀
Zhan Yao: Don’t use those cuffs on me again!
Bai Yutong: It’s not like I didn’t use them on you before.
So, apparently the exchange above is canon… 😉
Short but amazing, this couple in a nutshell.
Bromance my ass. 😉
Shows how careful editing can tell a different story – or in this case, fill in gaps. Lovely!
“He already notices me,” Phukong pointed out and ignored the little guilty thrill at that. “Just not in the right light.”
“You get up the tree, fall out of it and then he’ll come running,” Man said and Phukong stared at him in disbelief. How did he get a steady relationship with someone else? “Ah, Phukong. The damsel in distress routine works every time.”
“But I’m not a damsel!” That didn’t encompass half of Phukong’s objections. “And he’s not going to think anything but what a klutz I am. And what happens if I break something important? Or anything?” He regarded all the bones in his body as important.
Phukong decides to let Boss and Man help him with his Mil problem. This fic is delightful – I especially love how Phu isn’t a doormat and how Mil finally buys a clue. 😉
