Cool-headed, kind-hearted, career-focused, everyone's-beloved shou VS devoted, fragmented, not-quite-human, hopeless romantic gong
First instance: Dark Fairy Tale

Fourth instance: Longevity Village
Content warnings (the author is sensitive, so if it's not for you, please quietly move on. The couple is endgame. Everything the shou does has a reason. Please don't project the characters' values onto the author's. Some forms the gong takes may be a trigger for you, so feel free to skip them. This story has many clues and can be a bit of a brainteaser.
The story features suspenseful rules-based horror, Chinese-style horror, Western grotesquerie, folklore, and more. It covers a wide range of things, and many plotlines come from my dreams.
Each instance is fairly long.)
Theme: I believe hardship will eventually pass. I believe I have the power to make a difference
