Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.
-
In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

someone sitting down and writing all of this (on twitter????) is just unfathomable to me it's so insane and i mean that as a sincere compliment. I loved being able to see the improvement in writing that inevitably comes with a project this huge.
The love and passion poured into this shines through and I was pleasantly surprised by how much i thoroughly enjoyed blind Xie Lian. This does have more smut than i would usually prefer, especially between side characters, but it also has probably my favourite sex scene i've read in a fic (the word cock isnt used even once i could cry tears of joy) it's just so intimate and romantic and exactly how I imagined them to be, very good stuff -

Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

THE holy grail of found family. i never really saw the appeal until i read this but i think my life has been changed
Suicidal characters are so hard to write in a way that’s not cringe and the Xiao in this fic is probably the best i’ve ever seen it, not to mention how well the xiaother yearning is written MMMM
I cried so many times, every character is so deserving of love, this fic encapsulates everything i loved about Liyue’s cast, and i might cry again just thinking about it -

Summary
People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.
There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.
Sometimes all it takes is ten years.
