    Summary

    Something shifts in Lan Wangji’s face. He takes a deep breath, as if steading himself, and then asks, “Is this a kidnapping?”

    “What?” Wei Wuxian cries. “No! Are you crazy? Of course not!” Kind of though, really, if Wei Wuxian thinks about it.

    “My family is wealthy. My appearance makes that wealth evident. Am I being taken hostage to be held for ransom?” Lan Wangji holds himself very straight, the tension clear through his body.

    “Aiya!” Wei Wuxian waves his hands in front of his face. “I promise you, this is not a kidnapping! There’s no ransom.”

    “Then I am free to leave?” Lan Wangji demands.

     

    Wei Wuxian is dead, but he isn’t ready to reincarnate. Instead, he gets a job transporting the newly dead to the underworld. It’s a fairly standard gig until one night when he ends up with a newly deceased passenger who is both the most handsome and most stubborn person he has ever met. Will he be able to convince Lan Wangji that they’re both dead? And why does he feel so drawn to the man?

    Summary

    Dating a yao is a lot more mundane than some might imagine. Or, at least, less filled with danger. At least for Lan Zhan.

    Of course, "dating" may be too strong of a word for it. Currently Lan Zhan is taking it day by day, as Wei Ying wishes, but he is biding his time until he can truly demonstrate to Wei Ying that they have nothing to worry about and that Wei Ying is safe with him.

    Years of lonely hunting for scraps, however, have conditioned Wei Ying to be wary of even the most reliable of circumstances. Lan Zhan will not let that dissuade him. He will simply have to make himself more reliable.

    Summary

    “Use your power on me,” he told Wei Ying. “Ask me what I want tonight.”

    Wei Ying studied his eyes, then nodded. His hands still spanned Lan Zhan’s hips. He took in a slow breath, and as he breathed out, Lan Zhan felt it—a sparkling, tumbling rush of magic that raced through him like a spring downpour. It knocked down barriers and whisked off the heavy cover that had sheltered and oppressed him all his life. Words of truth swirled easily to the surface, like floating petals.

    “What do you want tonight?” Wei Ying whispered.

    “I want to kiss you,” Lan Zhan said. “I want to touch you. I want you to touch and kiss me.” It felt so good, this magic. It was the most exquisite freedom. Why had he ever feared it?

    This big bang fic has an original score and it made me cry. Also, the fic itself was so good. A love letter to the haunting sea

    Summary

    “So, what is Poor-gege doing here?”

    Lan Jingyi almost smacks into the ground with the way he trips over his feet.

    “Uhm—! Excuse me?? Poor!”

    “Stop being so clumsy, Poor-gege,” A-Yuan huffs as he impatiently tugs at Jingyi’s hand.

    Lan Jingyi relents himself to being dragged again, however not without narrowing his eyes at the little boy.

    “Just because I’m not your Rich-gege doesn’t mean I’m poor,” he mumbles under his breath.

    A-Yuan gives a shrug and hums noncommittally,

    “If Poor-gege says so.”
