Diaspora with magic

[zvi]

I don't actually know the source material on this one, but I took a chance on this modern AU from an author whose MDZS work I adore. I was not disappointed. The worldbuilding was solid, the portrayal of disability was compassionate and empowering, the humor hit, and the romance was built on a pretty solid foundation.

Summary:

“Your robes are very beautifully made,” Xie Yun says honestly, doing his best to speak the same dialect and choosing not to mention any of the horny thoughts he’s currently having.

The being gives him a withering look. “Did you summon me to compliment my robes?”

Xie Yun blinks. “No?” he offers, feeling very wrong-footed, which is not a way he’s used to feeling.

The being straightens their shoulders and nods. “Who do you want me to kill, then?”

Okay, that is a pretty significant escalation. “No one?” Xie Yun tries.

The being frowns at him. “Then what did you summon me for?”

Xie Yun decides that having this conversation while lying propped on his elbows on the floor is undignified, and he pushes up to sitting. “Pardon me, honored guest, but I didn’t summon you.”

Or: Xie Yun accidentally summons a demon, and gets way more than he bargained for... but not in a bad way.

I also loved this without knowing the source, having risked it because I like the author.
