Summary
Tenya can remember when Present Mic came out as bisexual on his radio show a few years back - the backlash was immediate. News outlets all over the place complaining about how Present Mic’s radio show was supposed to be for all ages, including kids, but he was bringing up an adult topic like this? And hadn’t he recently been hired as a UA teacher? Was he really someone they wanted their future heroes learning from?
And sure, it's been a few years since then and the whole thing ultimately blew over without Present Mic ever taking that much of a hit to his ratings, and Tenya knows his parents and his friends wouldn't care necessarily, but it's still frightening to imagine being the center of that kind of media attention. Terrifying to think that the secret that could end his career before it's even started is that he's in love with a boy, not that he once tried to murder a man.
A story in which Iida Tenya deals with dating Bakugo Katsuki, juggling two separate friend groups, a teacher that knows him far too well, someone he loves getting horribly injured again, and the prospect of admitting he's gay. Somehow, dating Bakugo is the easy part.

Summary
A modern OC arrives in Yiling before the start of the Sunshot Campaign. She has no friends, no money, and no cultivation. She knows what's coming, but what could she possibly do about it?
***
“Well…” I looked down at my fingernails and tried not to squirm. “If there were a way to separate Wei Wuxian from Madam Yu without ruining his relationship with his siblings, I’d encourage it. Like, as an example, marriage.”Xichen blinked. “To you?”
“No. Absolutely not. What even—?” The thought was so abhorrent I couldn’t hold it in my head. My brain spat it right back out. “To your brother.”
Xichen blinked. Again. “To Wangji?”
“Obviously?”
“This is a concern of yours?”
“I realize it’s not my business at all,” I admitted. “But you asked.”

Summary
When Song Lan confronts Xue Yang in Yi City, Xue Yang makes him an offer he can't refuse: Song Lan moves in. Xiao Xingchen stays ignorant (and happy). Nobody has to die.
Three in a coffin house becomes four. This is, it turns out, not an easy adjustment to make. Xue Yang discovers that Song Lan moving in means living with Song Lan. Xiao Xingchen's reunion with his dear friend isn't going as smoothly as he'd hoped. Song Lan realizes that Xiao Xingchen has built a life without him in it. A-Qing is pretty sure everyone here has lost their minds.
But they're going to make this work. Or die trying.
