@fanprompt - "mistreat"
Quan Yizhen looks up at Yin Yu, resembling nothing more than a mistreated puppy. His eyes are big and watery. He looks like he's about to cry.
"For the last time," Yin Yu sighs, pinching his nose, "no, I won't kiss you. And don't look at me like that."
"But Shixiong!" Quan Yizhen cries, somehow cranking the sad puppy eyes up a notch. "You said yes last time!"
"Last time, I was just trying to get you out of my space!" Yin Yu exclaims, waving his arm. "I didn't know I was signing up for... /this/!"
"What if I leave afterwards?" Quan Yizhen asks hopefully.
Yin Yu sighs. To get some peace at the cost of the future... or not. But does he even know if Quan Yizhen will give up if he refuses to kiss him? In the end, the answer is easy. He leans in, giving a quick kiss to the top of Quan Yizhen's head.
"Now go," he snaps, turning toward his paperwork.
"Yes, Shixiong! Of course, Shixiong!" Quan Yizhen says brightly, getting up and skipping from the room.
Yin Yu dreads the next day, but at least he's alone now.

➜ beefleaf modern au
➜ sqx and hx, their repective struggles with eating disorders, and the relationship they have with each other
➜ told in a really cool non-traditional way, largely through the digital records hx keeps -- texts with sqx, web searches, youtube history, to do lists, notes to self, etc
➜ I love how the form allows this really great window into hx's state of mind, with a sort of spareness that packs a big punch
➜ and the translation to the modern context of the beefleaf relationship pre-black-water-arc is so good!
➜ what a good. I'm so impressed!
➜ 7k words long
thank you to @roland for the rec, drawing this fic to my attention!

➜ post-canon hualian, exploring their sex life
➜ intertwined narratives of their first time, and of a much later time when they try some under-negotiated kink that doesn't go as planned
➜ I love how careful and caring (and teasing!) they are with each other, how much being with each other gives them the bravery to be vulnerable
➜ such a lovely fic, and with many good hualian feels!
➜ 20k words long
