Tags: Post-Canon, Pre-Canon, Somehow it is both, Post-Abyss Pre-Russia novel, Mile High Club, Porn With Plot
Summary:

And there it is: that look. It’s fucking pathetic, really. Xie Yuchen looks up under his eyelashes at him, all smirk, brimming with promise, and it’s such a fucking playbook move. It’s not original at all. Xie Yuchen has looked at every man he’s ever wanted like this. Hei Xiazi knows it in his gut, because Xie Yuchen’s honed it down to a science, all dilated pupil and gently bitten lip. A wiser man would see the practise in it and run for the hills. He’d recognise it for what it is: a threat in sirensong. A warning that to fall will mean never being free again. But Hei Xiazi likes to think he’s made his peace long ago with being haunted.

Hei Xiazi has a free afternoon, which is not unusual for him. What is, however, unusual, is when one second he's stretching out on his couch for a well deserved nap, and the next Xiazi's breath gets punched out of him as something—someone—lands in his lap.

"Fuck what— Xiao Hua?"

Summary:

At last, in a low, calm voice, Xie Yuchen said, “Wu Xie wouldn’t have sold me out to you unless he trusted you enough to treat his confidence with the care it deserves. But I’m not Wu Xie, and I don’t do that anymore.”

Hei Xiazi’s gaze didn’t waver. “Gather information, or trust people?”

__

In 1899, at the close of a bygone era and on the cusp of a new century, a mercenary with a mysterious past and an opera singer with a secret cross paths. Things get rather out of hand from there.
