    Summary

    “So you’re in love with your best friend,” says Hua Cheng.

    He Xuan just barely manages not to spit his food out. “He’s not my best friend.”

    “Really.” Hua Cheng picks at his nails. “Who’s your best friend, then? Is it perhaps...”—He trails off, eyes sparkling—“me?”

    He Xuan’s eyebrow twitches. “Fuck off.”

    He Xuan is in love with his best friend, and Hua Cheng has had enough.

    Summary

    Wrote this for my English 265 course. Tried to explain Heathcliff's reaction to seeing Catherine's ghost at the beginning of Emily Bronte's Withering Heights. Mostly an angst fest. Takes place somewhere between Catherine's death and Isabella's leaving. Mostly just wanted to explore how Heathcliff grieves when he's not full of Rage.

    Summary

    A mute. An unfortunately brittle gem. A troublemaker. That's what the others know them as and what they believe to be true. But Antarcticite knows better, having been there since they found them in winter. Phosphophyllite's not as young as they think.

    Alternatively, the AU in which Phos returns to the past
