For You

by Secret_H

Ask not. Want not. Life is not about what you get, as much as it is what happens to you. Dracula is a creature of passion, capable of great love, but not necessarily a love that any (sane) person would want directed at them. Also, his kinks aren't up for negotiation.

Raffles - E. W. Hornung

No Gem Brighter

by thechestofsilver

“What do you want for Christmas?” The question came a little too suddenly, as if it had been waiting for the right moment to burst out but not quite found it. We were standing in Bond Street, in the rain, in front of a jeweller’s window, and Bunny was looking frantically at the items in it. It was not the same window we had cleaned up some eight or nine months ago, but I had inevitably been thinking of that night. “Am I supposed to make a list?” I said, and he blushed.

Tiān Guān Cì Fú - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

Not Xuli

by halfwangzi

In Ling Wen’s name, the second character is “文.” There are many definitions for this common character, but they all seem to revolve around literature: character, script, writing, language, culture, literary, civil.However, the character has one connotation that Ling Wen hates, and that is ‘gentle.’For a woman to achieve the status she had in the immortal realm, she long ago had cast aside any gentleness that she may have once embodied.Gentleness is not a marketable skill in the heavenly realm. It is not something mortals would pray to her for. It is looked down on.In all her years of living, whenever she has been gentle, she has been squashed under the toe of another, taken advantage of and abused.However, before she had received that name she hated so much, she lived a simple life. And, in that dying kingdom of Xuli, she sold shoes to survive.--This work is a one-shot depicting Ling Wen's (TGCF) backstory before becoming a civil god. The events in this one-shot are a prequel to the events of the books. Minor spoilers about the backstory of Ling Wen, no major spoilers.

Taynew

The Ordinary Haunting

by AC_Lees

Tay Tawan was not expecting to end up right back at work when he died. He was a happy-go-lucky kind of guy; he had no real troubles or regrets that he considered important enough to stop him from walking straight past 'Go' and collecting an eternal afterlife of sunflowers and good seafood. Sure, it happened a little earlier than he would have liked, but where was the use in getting hung up on that? So what was it? What sent him shuffling back into that dingy space with its desks and papers and coworkers and friends and New Thitipoom?This was going to be one hell of a useless, boring, ordinary haunting. ~~~~ *Please note: this story has been published in non-linear order.
