    Summary

    “So, what’s a beautiful young master like yourself doing in the Red Light District? You don’t seem like you were looking for a discount pet contract to purchase.”

    “Lost.” Lan Wangji muttered as his ears began heating up again. Pets were unnecessary. They were symbols of wealth, but also pleasure and excess. He was perfectly content to stay away from people who were bought exclusively to be dressed up and debauched to enhance another person’s status, no matter how socially acceptable it was deemed. Neither his uncle nor brother had a pet, and he doubted they would pressure him into having one. If the most he ever saw of what pets did was glimpses of the fancy clothing they wore, he would be happy.

    ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

    Lan Wangji does gain more experience with pets, not due to purchasing one, but because he becomes one after the Gusu Lan Empire comes crashing down at the hands of rebels.

    (In which Lan Wangji suffers before getting the love he deserves in a Captive Prince inspired universe)

    Summary

    When the Wen Empire launches a bloody campaign to extend the reaches of its borders, their first target is the Kingdom of Gusu. Between the might of Emperor Wen’s army, the leadership of his two biological sons, and the dark, unorthodox powers of his adopted son, Wei Wuxian a.k.a. The Yiling Demon, Gusu is quickly crushed. 

    As the spoils of war are divided and the surviving Lan disciples are taken as slaves and prisoners, Wei Wuxian shocks the cultivation world by claiming his first and only war prize: the young enemy prince, Lan Wangji. 

    Both men soon learn that the distinctions between cruelty and kindness, good and evil, and love and hate are hazy and thin — especially when two souls like theirs are fated to meet.

    Summary

    It's the summer of 2025, and there's trouble on the horizon for the Ellosean Defense Corps: the kaiju are evolving, pilots are dying almost daily, and new, untested technology warns of the coming of a threat unlike anything the EDC has ever seen before. Meanwhile, Damianos of Akielos—one of the world's best pilots—is sitting in a prison cell at Chastillon, serving a life sentence for two crimes: one that he didn't commit, and one that he did. At the same time, Laurent of Vere is sequestered at Arles, having been rendered unable to Drift by the loss of his brother Auguste and the destruction of their Ghost Drift. Laurent's uncle, however, is determined to put him on the battlefield—even if it kills him.

    But not just anyone can partner with Laurent: thanks to the havoc wreaked in his mind by the shattering of the Ghost Drift, his compatibility is nearly nonexistent. He needs someone with extraordinary skill, extensive experience, and sky-high compatibility... And it just so happens that Vere has the perfect candidate sitting behind bars at Chastillon.

    (Written for the Captive Prince Big Bang 2018!)

    Summary

    People like them never had the luxury to marry for love. Holy matrimony fraught with agendas hidden underneath feigned politeness. That’s the kind of lives they’re born into. Their lives are stuffs of legend. Or a poorly written romance novel.
