    Summary

    “Zhangmen-shixiong has undergone a second presentation.”

    Yue Qingyuan blinks. That… does not sound like he is dying, but surely that cannot mean what it does sound like. “I… Apologies. I do not understand?”

    Or, Yue Qingyuan undergoes a dramatic change, and Shen Qingqiu is driven to drastic action.

    Summary

    “Shixiong, Swelter Toad oil sends kunzes into sudden heat,” Huang Qinggua told him. “It’s inflaming your meridians along with it. If you don’t sate yourself, your core will quite literally melt.”

    “I’m—I’m not, I won’t,” Shen Qingqiu started. Finally, he snarled, “Stay away from me.” A piece of hair had escaped his guan and was falling down, sticking to his forehead.

    “It doesn’t have to be me,” Huang Qinggua coaxed, maintaining his distance. “Shixiong, you need to dual-cultivate. You have an hour, two at the most. Who do you want? If they’re in the sect, we’ll call for them.”

    “And then what?” Shen Qingqiu managed. “You’ll tell them how best to fuck me?” His eyes were glittering.

    Summary

    It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.

    But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

    (how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)

    Summary

    Hong Hua’s attention settled immediately on Xie Lian, eyes lingering with a subtle admiration, before quickly diverting to Lang Qianqiu.

    “Your Highness,” he greeted, stepping forward and bowing with practiced precision, “I hadn’t expected the honor of your presence today.”

    Lang Qianqiu smiled, clearly in high spirits. “We came at the State Preceptor’s suggestion. He thought it best that I observe and demonstrate my current understanding.”

    Hong Hua inclined his head again. “Then it is our good fortune to be under the State Preceptor’s guidance today.” His attention settled once more on Xie Lian, a faint warmth touching his expression.

    “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hong Hua.” He bowed his head, measured but sincere. “I have long heard of the State Preceptor’s skill. If I may be permitted, I would be honored to witness it for myself.”

    OR: Hua Cheng finds Xie Lian three hundred years earlier, during his time as Fangxin Guoshi in Yong'an. To get close to Xie Lian, Hua Cheng joins the Yong'an Infantry under the alias of a young solider, Hong Hua, and must gain Lang Qianqiu's trust to become a member of the Imperial Guard, the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince of Yong'an.
