Summary: <blockquote>Liu Qingge returns from a hunt with more health conditions than he knew about and receives... assistance. :)</blockquote> ➤ liu qingge gets hit with a fuck-or-die monster venom! shen qingqiu and luo binghe are here to help him out ➤ the vibes are SO good, from the prickly antagonism between lqg & lbh at the beginning, through the awkward unspoken interest in sqq, to the way lqg goes all melty and floaty at the end ➤ it's SO soft from lqg's pov once the cure is embarked upon and I love it so much ➤ 7k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>It isn't even an accident, precisely—that might be the most humiliating thing about it. Lan Wangji had tasted the tea, expecting it to be precisely what it revealed itself to be; Lan Wangji had wanted to feel its effects, to gauge them, although he had expected them to be mild. He had brewed the tea himself. An entirely uncoerced and foolish act. Lan Wangji has a misadventure with an aphrodisiac. It works out for everyone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Okay. Shi Qingxuan liked to have fun. Everyone knew that she liked to have fun—she was the Young Lord Who Poured Wine, after all. It was her thing. But she was, genuinely, fairly restrained and dignified! She was classy! She did not get up in her lady form and beg for random male officials to take her clothes off!</blockquote> ➤ early days beefleaf!

<blockquote>Yue Qingyuan is afflicted with a deadly poison, and the only cure is dual cultivation with a particular man. Shen Jiu holds the sect leader’s life in his hands (and hole).</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jingyan knows what is happening to him. In the first hours, the sensation was familiar, the subtle burning under his skin distinct and memorable. He had asked his mother about the flower and the drug many years ago, omitting to mention that he had taken it himself. He had been a little alarmed by her description of the consequences if the pair who had taken it were unable to reunite — she had put it less euphemistically — but had decided to put it out of his mind. Whatever might happen over sixteen years, it couldn’t touch the bond between him and Xiao Shu. He hadn’t even been sure the drug had had much effect. The rest of that season had been filled with triumphs of strength and with heated, stolen nights, but who could say whether that was the drug or mere suggestion working on their youth and strength? They were already invincible. They were already in love.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"In order to please the lord, please his wife first." This is how Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe get front row seats to a gladiator fight, encounter a low level villain, walk into a papapa plot, and have an extremely under negotiated but intellectually rousing "discussion". Also, there is a really huge beetle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Zhou Zishu gets drugged, gets rescued, gets fucked better by Wen Kexing, and thinks about the fact that he has things to live for, in approximately that order.</blockquote> Author's note:<blockquote> "i bet i can convey the extent to which wkx is having a bad time from the pov of the person who's too high to function" i said, putting on my finest clown nose</blockquote> ➤ REALLY GOOD at that actually!! And also at the horrible headspace zzs is in!

<blockquote>Five times that Shang Qinghua has to save Liu Qingge's life with his dick... ...and one time that Liu Qingge returns the favor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>When UNCLE learns of a chemical weapons laboratory in the French Antilles, Gaby, Illya, and Napoleon are dispatched to investigate and shut it down if at all possible. They discover that THRUSH's scientists are developing an extremely powerful aphrodisiac - and their mission doesn't quite go as planned. Basically: sex pollen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A subtle French poison is making Jack feel things that are not appropriate for polite society, nor even for the often impolite society of his ship. This is either the best or the worst day of William Marshall's life.</blockquote> ➤ OH MY GOSH. INCREDIBLE. WHAT THE HECK. (William Marshall is the man who was in love with Jack from the first book)

<blockquote>Case A certain man, being under the influence de cerinthus fornicationus, came to have carnal knowledge of a woman; after this it is said that he is required to marry said women. The questions here are: First, what is the degree of the sin which they commit? Second, is it required that they then marry one another?</blockquote> ➤ author notes: <blockquote>I woke up this morning and read Papianista's highly entertaining summary of the legal consequences of sex pollen, under (I assume?) modern US law. I said unto the internet "this is beautiful but now I want to assess it from the point of view of 13th century canon law". And then there turned out to be so MANY considerations that I was writing a legit parody of Gratian's Decretum, and, well, it was amazing.</blockquote> ➤ what amazing nerdery I love it

<blockquote>Captured on a mission, Illya is exposed to a drug causing intense sexual arousal. Napoleon helps. (Note: I selected the rape/non-con warning because this trope is inherently dub-conny, and because there is discussion of rape and questionable consent in the story. The sex that occurs in the story is agreed-to by both parties. More details in notes.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I didn't even know I liked cake," Steve said.</blockquote> ➤ (cake is a metaphor for sex) ➤ also I am beginning to be reminded, in all these fics about tracking down HYDRA bases, of Man From UNCLE and THRUSH.

<blockquote>In spring, the fort of Castellum is blanketed by a pollen that causes desire among those who breathe it in. This includes Alexios and Hilarion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carlos runs into yet another Night Vale peril, but maybe he shouldn't have called Cecil for help this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Marco drinks something he shouldn't at the Samavian New Year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>even sex-pollen is immune in the face of Fraser's willpower</blockquote>

<blockquote>John grabbed the collar of his jacket, hauled him halfway across the table, rising out of his seat; but Rodney just met him square on, glitter in his eye practically daring Sheppard to swing, and John shoved him loose. "What the hell is your problem? I get this isn't bothering you. Congratulations. I'm glad you're so goddamn well-adjusted. I'm sorry I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that we fucked three ways in front of the people I respect most in the entire galaxy."</blockquote>

<blockquote>He prods the foliage to his left, which reacts in surprise by flinging pollen everywhere, and the air is suddenly ever so slightly more yellow than before. Which he figures, in hindsight, probably wasn't the best idea.</blockquote>
