Summary
“I think I just want it to taste…”
Sydney feels her stomach drop, and part of her is petrified Carmy's gonna say something like 'happy' to end the sentence, because she doesn’t know how to make that either—
“Taste like Mikey’s, I guess,” he says instead.
Somehow it’s worse.
OR: a chef who doesn't love to eat and the people who change that.

Summary
“How can you mistreat him so, shixiong?” Mu Qingfang asked one night, during a late visit to the bamboo house. “Yuan’er is the very picture of his mother. He is all you have left of her, and yet—”
“His resemblance to his mother is the only reason I did not snap his neck in the cradle,” Shen Qingqiu growled. “He has his father’s eyes, and I look upon them every day and care for the child regardless. Is that not enough?”
In the side room, Shen Yuan crept over to the mirror and stared at his reflection. He knew that he looked like his deceased mother, and that the two of them could have passed for twins if she were still alive. He knew, too, that he had his father’s eyes: deep and black as a starless night, and narrowed in perpetual discontent.
If Shen Yuan were truly Shen Qingqiu’s son, he would have hated those queer black eyes, just as Shen Qingqiu did. But as a transmigrated college student from the twenty-first century, he had never cared about Shen Qingqiu's opinions, much less considered him his father.
Or: in his twenty-first year in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, Shen Yuan runs away, falls in love, and reunites with his mother.

Summary
Hibernation?! What did the System mean, hibernation?! Shen Yuan had been in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way for four hundred years and never once needed to hibernate—so what exactly were that wretched entity’s intentions when it told him to take that nap and then announced that twenty years had gone by while he was asleep?
[User 002 did not come equipped with an OOC lock!] the System cried, after Shen Yuan had finished cursing at it and set off for Cang Qiong. [If you were left to your own devices, you’d have ruined the whole plot! This System had no other choice!]
“I’m awake now. Kiss your plot goodbye,” Shen Yuan said darkly; and with that, he muted the System and flew down towards Qing Jing Peak.
Or: in the autumn of Luo Binghe's fourteenth year, a dragon comes to Cang Qiong Mountain.

Summary
Geraldus does not understand what he asks for. Neither does the Pope, for that matter. A saint’s power is not something that can be tamed and controlled like a beast of burden, and a saint that does not wish to be moved will make their displeasure known.
-----
Canon divergence/fix-it fic from Rua's POV. Based on medieval beliefs about relics and saints.
