Content notes:

Themes:

Cucumber-typical homophobia; Airplane's sex-related plot devices; bros who argue and have sex about it; wingfic

Summary:

Shang Qinghua can practically see Shen Qingqiu’s head about to explode. “Bro! chill!!”

Bro does not chill.

“How does this even make sense,” Shen Qingqiu seethes. “Wings big enough to hold a human aloft would be too big to manage when walking around! These wings aren’t long enough! And how does the extra shoulder joint attach?”

Shang Qinghua shrugs. His wings shrug with him.

Themes:

trans man jiang yanli; sex crying; a sweet and warm fic about seeking out overwhelming sensory experiences; me like: I have an Artistic Vision and the porn is necessary for it

Summary:

The club is loud, and Yanli likes it that way. Low lighting and throbbing music surround him along with the movements of energetic bodies. By the bar, his husband perches awkwardly on a stool with a lime-topped sparkling water in hand. Clubs are not a place Zixuan feels comfortable, but he insists he wants to come anyway on nights Yanli goes out. Yanli could easily feel stifled by the apparent surveillance – but he knows Zixuan better than that, and just feels unbearably fond.
