Hey I'm Sam

"As Donna invokes her powers, the light retreats from her mansion and the shadows begin to coil like serpents ready to strike. In its last moment, dangling helplessly from the iron-clad grip of the dollmaker, the lycan can't help but realize that there are - after all - greater dangers lurking in this forest than their kind."

And that was the last time a lycan chomped one of Donna's maids. The End. 😬

phantom AU hualian !!

i do love me some spice, my ao3 tabs are never going to be seen by another human ever. buuuut, the way that hua cheng is so devoted and will simply do anything he can to keep xie lian safe is beautiful.

it’s gentle. it’s delicate. it’s love in the most basic form.

hua cheng encourages xie lian to do things that makes him happy. things that hella cheng doesn’t necessarily agree with, but he’s never going to step in and tell xie lian he can’t do something. instead hua cheng will stand beside xie lian and keep him as safe as he can.

also, on that note, i really appreciate that even when xie lian does something that hua cheng doesn’t particularly agree with, hua cheng doesn’t guilt or lecture xie lian. they simply agree that it wasn’t the best way to handle something.

i hate slow burns, but this relationship and story is truly so captivating that i’m not even missing spicy scenes. i just wanna see them interacting and appreciating each other. they both have such a deep respect for each other.

i also can’t help but lose my mind at the fact that most power dynamics would have hua cheng treating xie lian like a baby, and he absolutely does not! it’s a breath of fresh air to see them both on equal ground regardless of one of them having significantly more power and money. hua cheng isn’t there to fix all of xie lian’s problems and i fucking respect the hell out of that.

yes, hua cheng has the thousand lights temple, and paradise manor and has invited xie lian to live with him. but it was a fleeting moment. hua cheng has even said that the puqi shrine feels most like home even though it’s an over crowded little shack.

and the use of spiritual power, even though hua cheng has a significant amount of power, he gives without question. and it’s never done in a showy way. he just offers the use of spiritual power when xie lian needs it.

also… the way xie lian is growing more comfortable in his relationship with hua cheng and gets more casual with touches and hand holding and what not. i truly cannot handle how soft they are with each other.
