    Summary

    He thought of all the pain and death that was to come. There was so much that went wrong in the cultivation world in the next few years. The weight of responsibility felt insurmountable.

    Lan Qiren had never wanted to be a politician or leader. That role was meant for his brother. He had done his best in the years he had led the sect but he was aware that he was not the best person for the job. His interests had always been the academic pursuits and teaching the next generation. How could he hope to make an impact on the mess of political manoeuvring and aggression that was imminent? He decided he could only focus on the events which impacted his family the most. He could save Cloud Recesses from being burned. He could protect both his nephews from their disastrous relationships. He could protect the books they lost in the war.

    Or

    Lan Qiren travels back in time and tries to fix the future.

    Summary

    Wei Ying uses his smile and bright laughs like a folding screen, like one of Nie Huaisang's many fans, but Lan Wangji sees. He sees the network of lightning and raised skin on the boy's back, sees his smile falter with every barbed reprimand from Jiang Wanyin and the way he constantly skirts around the border of things, as if he has to constantly know the point where he is unwanted.

    He looks at Wei Ying and sees a future of squandered potentials and a brightness curbed at every turn, of a life making himself less in a Sect that would always see him as a servant's son and the reflection of their own inadequacy, and he laments that Wei Ying could not seem to see that - See past the sense of debt and false belonging his so-called family had ingrained into him.

    But Lan Wangji is a patient man, and he would make Wei Ying see in time. Even if it means using the insecurities of Wei Ying's own family against him.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian has his first kiss stolen from him on Phoenix Mountain. He goes to steal it back.

    (Or, Wei Wuxian briefly gains a second brain cell, realizes Lan Wangji is the person who kissed him, gets a second kiss, and this somehow changes everything.)

    Summary

    The truth of the matter was that when it came to taking care of people and their problems, both he and Wei Ying were of one mind. However, whereas Lan Wangji was taught to care for himself as much as other people, Wei Ying, from early age, was taught that him having needs was burdensome. He disregarded his own pain with frightening ease and offered up evey part of himself for others to use with no reservation.

    Thus, Lan Wangji made sure that his husband's needs were never overlooked, his hurts never unadressed.

    So it was that when they purified an ancient temple and its goddess benevolently offered them each a wish in return, Wei Ying asked for his family: for Jiang Cheng to never have lost his parents and his core, for Jiang Yanli to never have lost her husband and her own life because of him; Lan Zhan asked for Wei Ying.

    Summary

    It’s been a week and a half by Lan Wangji’s careful count, and Jiang Wanyin has not returned. Nor has anyone else, for that matter, but given how close Wei Ying and the Jiang sect heir seemed, Lan Wangji cannot help but worry. Could something have happened to the other disciples? The Wen likely said that they all died during a hunt; would they have posted watch on the cave to ensure no one survived? Or was their hubris so great that they would merely assume their lies to be the truth?

    -

    Or, the one where Jiang Cheng thinks he changes everything for the better.

    Summary

    “Enough of that now.” Shufu surprises him by squeezing his shoulder gently to quickly distract his spiraling thoughts. “You have been plenty useful, a-Ying. Now you must rest and let us do the work with your condition as it is. Trust that your husband and your family will take care of you, boy. We are here and we will not let you go.”

After the young boy had been able to live a mostly happy life and enjoy a peaceful passing, Wei Wuxian, too, found peace. Instead of entering the reincarnation cycle, he awakens in the past. Soon, he realises that he has not been left alone (again) this time.

    Summary

    The Lans agree to take in the Dafan Wen after Wei Wuxian rescues them from Qiongli Path. Their only condition: that Wei Wuxian lets himself be purified of resentful energy. Lan Wangji thinks this is how he will finally get his Wei Ying back, free from demonic influences. Wei Wuxian thinks this is a fancy way of saying "execution."

    Summary

    "Well, if I’m already breaking so many rules," Wei Wuxian mused, shifting forward on the rooftop, "What’s one more?"

    Then the tile beneath his foot shifted. He barely had time to curse before he was slipping, the rooftop tilting under him, the wind rushing past—

    And then, strong hands grabbed a hold of him.

    Wei Wuxian gasped as he was caught mid-fall, firm arms locking around his waist, pulling him against an unyielding chest.

    It was embarassing really, just how quickly Wei Wuxian fell for Lan Wangji, the first time they met. Maybe that was why he kept making a fool of himself every time they ran into one another.

    Or in which, Wei Wuxian falls completely, utterly, head over heels in love with Lan Zhan the first time they meet.

    Summary


    “Lan Zhan,” he said with a grin, masking the weary he felt at the sight of the man. They hadn’t parted on good terms, and he couldn’t be sure if the man wanted to kill him.

    He wouldn’t be surprised; the rumours he’d heard about himself when he left Burial Mounds to go to Yiling were far from flattering. It seemed as if every single thing that had gone wrong since his departure had been blamed on him, regardless of if he was even involved or not. Half the stories about him were ridiculous, but people believed them, and he knew that was dangerous.

    Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan said with a tilt of his head.

    “Do you want to come in?” he asked hesitantly. If the man truly wanted to hurt him, he hoped that he’d do it outside, so the Wens would not be in danger.

    “Mm,” Lan Zhan agreed, “I have not come to harm Wei Ying.”

    Lan Zhan decides something needs to be done when he visits Wei Ying at the Burial Mounds. And that changes everything

    Summary

    After a year together, Wei Wuxian has been tied up with his husband's forehead ribbon enough times to get an idea of what he likes, and decides to get him a present to make things a little more fun for both of them. But as usual, when Wei Wuxian asks for trouble, he always gets a little more of it back than he's expecting.

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan says, and when Wei Ying turns around, Lan Zhan has followed him into the kitchen and is doing something with the empty wine glass that could almost be termed fidgeting. His fingertips tense and relax, and Lan Zhan takes a deep breath and squares his shoulders almost imperceptibly. “Would you like me to cut your hair for you?”

    Wei Ying’s brain skids to a halt. Oh. Huh. That would. That would be a hell of a lot easier, wouldn’t it? Lan Zhan would at least be able to see and touch the back of his head at the same time, and that’s half the battle. Even if it’s not a good haircut, it would be something, and it probably wouldn’t end with Wei Ying in tears, and it would end with Wei Ying having shorter hair, which is the only thing he really wants right now.

    “Yeah,” he says, a little awed. “If you don’t mind then that would be great, Lan Zhan.” He can almost feel the breeze on his undercut again, spine tingling in anticipation.

    Or: Lan Zhan offers to help out with Wei Ying's quarantine growout... with sexy results!

    Summary

    For months, Wei Wuxian had been haunted by the most enticing fantasies of Lan Wangji kissing him on Phoenix Mountain turning into something quite a bit more explicit--which was nothing new for him, really. He'd been babbling about fantasies of Lan Wangji overpowering and ravishing his younger self ever since their very first time together, and it wasn't as if those fantasies had gone away over time. If anything, they'd just grown more diverse, more... creative.

    The moment comes almost out of the blue when, one relaxed spring afternoon, Lan Wangji decides that he's ready to offer Wei Wuxian an opportunity to play out that very delicious fantasy about their stolen first kiss.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji looks down at his own hands, steadying himself. It is easier to think clearly when he is not looking into Wei Wuxian’s eyes. He takes the scroll from his pouch.

    “Research has uncovered a method,” he says. He does not mention the forbidden nature of said research, nor does he elaborate on the method itself. He will not venture to speak it aloud. He hands the scroll over.

    Wei Wuxian looks at him for a long moment as he takes it, and Lan Wangji holds his breath, waiting for him to decide. Waiting to see if he is at least interested enough in the possibility of a new core to read it.

    He is. He does. Lan Wangji might be relieved, if not for what comes next.

     

    Lan Wangji offers to help Wei Wuxian develop a new golden core via dual cultivation. He struggles to keep his feelings in check.

    Summary

    Wei Ying has left a hickey on his neck. To any other eye, it will look like a bruise from a fight, but he knows how it got there. He brushes his fingers over it quietly, and thinks, if this is the only way I can keep him with me, I would let him mark me up like a child with a paintbrush and an entire blank wall. If he were in the business of taking people, like so many in our world are, I would let him take me, and I would let him keep me.

    ;

    Lan Zhan [//Hanguang-jun] isn't one of the best agents in the world for nothing. He would be the best, perhaps, were it not the infuriating and annoyingly hot enigmatic rogue agent [//The Yiling Laozu] who is determined to fight him at every chance they get. And maybe not-fight him too, if one of them remembers the lube. It’s a never-ending dance to crown the victor of their adrenaline-fuelled rivalry.

    That is until Lan Zhan is sent on a mission to recover a deadly weapon from one of the biggest crime families in the business—and has to find out whose side the Yiling Laozu is on once and for all.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian remembers, a long time ago in basically another life, a college party where he managed to bully Lan Wangji into taking a single shot. The Second Jade had gone bleary and fallen asleep on a couch almost immediately. Wei Wuxian figured that in the intervening years his tolerance would have improved, or that a drunk Lan Zhan would immediately be followed by a sleeping Lan Zhan.

    This supposition was, as it turns out, incorrect. Grown-ass adult Lan Zhan is, when drunk, something Wei Wuxian can only describe as white girl wasted.

    Or: Lan Zhan gets drunk on Capitol Hill. Wei Wuxian isn't supposed to be the responsible one, but by god, he's gonna do it.

    Summary

    He knows that this is not that kind of intimacy, he knows that this is simply Wei Ying, in all his kindness, in all his hidden sweetness, saying thank you and goodbye. But his awareness of the warm body behind him, of the thin layers of fabric keeping their modesty only nominally intact, threaten to drown out all rational thought.

    Lan Wangji is trapped in the burial mounds for three days. It gives him time to think about what he wants.

    Summary

    The main screen flashes to life across the Bridge, and Lan Wangji has to grip the back of a chair to stop himself from falling over.

    Because there, blown up to ten times life size and staticy with the void surrounding them, is Wei Ying.

    Wei Ying, who flashed into Lan Wangji’s life like a supernova, all those years ago in Nav School, burning bright and hot and unreachable. Wei Ying, who lit Lan Wangji’s world on fire, dragged him in unwillingly by his everything, right into that inescapable light. Wei Ying, who did what all supernovas do, and burnt out in a spectacular display of power, until there was nothing left but darkness.

    Wei Ying, who has been dead for thirteen years.

    ;

    In the silent, empty vastness of space, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian find each other again.

    Summary

    His fingers hesitate on Wei Ying’s arm, then brush a strand of hair from his face, catching in the blood on his skin. They linger there behind his ear, barely touching his warmth, gentle. Lan Wangji’s heart will not slow down, and he does not know why. All he knows is that seeing Wei Ying like that, ripped apart and flayed by his own darkness, has settled something in his chest, answered an unasked question.

    This man did not become a monster with gladness.

    ;

    Darkness and light, fear and promise, loneliness and belonging: Lan Wangji stumbles across a crumbling castle in the mountains, and discovers that the balance is never as even as it seems.

    Summary

    Anyway, the point is, Wei Wuxian knows rain. It’s a natural, normal weather phenomenon. Normally he only pays it as much mind as he needs to--like, maybe he remembers to grab a hat if it looks stormy. (It’s more likely that he’ll forget the hat and then have to crowd under Lan Zhan’s umbrella, which neither of them is complaining about, mind you.) It’s just. You know. Rain. Sure, he and Lan Zhan may have had several dramatic, fraught, emotional confrontations with each other in the middle of horrible rainstorms, but that’s just coincidence! Sometimes it rains! Nothing to worry about!

    It’s just that maybe they’re primed to expect a certain outcome from past experience, which might explain why, when lightning flashes and thunder cracks and the sky opens up over them a little ways outside the nearest village, he and Lan Zhan whip around to face each other in a sudden panic.
