Mortician Song Lan and his ghost boyfriend have a problem on their hands: a corpse that won’t stay dead.

—

You know what? I don’t usually go for mortician AUs because they often don’t engage with the subject in a way that works for me. That’s entirely down to me being picky, no problem.

This fic has a SEMI-EROTIC EMBALMING SCENE. I feel like it was made for me!! It’s so good, spooky and a little bit melancholy and hot too, in waves, and the ending is hopeful. Enjoy!!

- songxuexiao t4t4t modern au where they're grad students in china

- I had the pleasure of getting to see this fic as it came together, and the thought and care verity puts into their writing is always so evident in their beautifully written and beautifully constructed stories!

- from song lan's pov as he watches creepy stalker xue yang entwine herself into his bff (and object of pining) xiao xingchen's life

- sl DOESN'T trust xy, he DOES find it super hot to put her in her place and have sex with her, he DOES struggle to be fully vulnerable with xxc despite everything she is to him

- the vibes are so good, I love how real and present each character and their complex emotions about each other are, and I love the way the theme of the weather runs through the whole fic holding things together

- highly recommend!

- 12k words in length

In a #songxuexiao ménage, is it funnier if Xue Yang really believes A-Qing can't see and Song Lan instantly realises she can, or if Song Lan is totally taken in and Xue Yang uses this to his advantage? (And does A-Qing know that one of them has figured her out?)

I know I always said there is no #SwissAU, but it’s winter in Switzerland and I just saw a poster of the Jungfraujoch hotel and I miss the boys in my #songxuexiao AU where they live in the flat my in-laws used to have in Zürich and Xue Yang is a grad student at my old university and Xiao Xingchen is missing and Song Lan is searching for him by Swiss railway, aah.

All my prompts are like, "so SXX could be doing this, and DON'T FORGET, A-Qing is there too."
