    Summary

    "It is not meant to create a powerful effect; it is rather a Romance, calm and melancholy, giving the impression of someone looking gently towards a spot that calls to mind a thousand happy memories." — Chopin, on his new Concerto I in E Minor in letter to Tytus, 15 May 1830
    -

    When he heard Wei Ying’s rasping voice say, quietly, I’ve missed you, Lan Zhan, his heart skipped a beat, jumped, and then flopped right out of his chest and onto his white bedspread, a dull red stain spreading out from the throbbing scarlet mass of Wangji’s own feelings, impossible for him to ignore. Impossible for him not to see.

    Wei Ying was back.

    Summary

    Wei Ying peers up at him through dark eyelashes. Huddled in his oversized hoodie, he looks rather like a lost puppy. A nasty bloodsucking puppy, Lan Zhan reminds himself.

    “I need help,” Wei Ying says. “I need somebody to explain all this shit to me because all I’ve got to go on are a bunch of B-movies. So you, Van Helsing, are the best option I’ve got.”


    Protecting the city from supernatural menaces is a burden, but field agent Lan Zhan has always borne that burden without complaint. Then one night, he meets Wei Ying, a vampire in need of rescue. A very pretty, very pathetic vampire. Lan Zhan will mentor this ridiculous vampire, but he is absolutely going to complain about it.

    Summary

    Wei Ying leans on the bar. “So, what can I get you, Lan Zhan? Do you want your signature drink, or do you want to try something new?”

    Lan Zhan gets lost in the pretty face pushed in less than a foot from his own--and in the giddy realization that Wei Ying remembers his name. “Something new,” he says finally.

    “Great! It's harder since you don't do alcohol, but I like a challenge.” He winks at Lan Zhan before spinning around to peruse the shelves. “Are you more of a sweet or sour guy?”

    Lan Zhan’s taste in beverages pretty much begins and ends with green tea, but today is a day for risks. For climbing out of his rut and trying new things. He decided that in the last two minutes. Perhaps Wei Ying's enthusiasm is contagious.

    Or Wei Ying is a bartender who makes terrible drinks. Lan Zhan keeps going back to his bar anyway.

    Summary

    Wangji stays on the piano bench as they’re closing up. Wei Ying chews his lip, knowing what he’s going to do but horrified at himself. But what’s the alternative: kick the guy out and find him sleeping beside the dumpster in the morning? And that’s if the cops don’t take him in for vagrancy.

    “Wangji?”

    Wangji looks up.

    Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?”

    Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes.

    “Great!”

     

    Fuck.

     

    Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

    Summary

    "This time, I’ll run, and you can chase me.”

    Lan Zhan’s eyelashes flutter in delicate, adorable confusion. “When I catch you . . .”

    If you catch me.” Wei Wuxian wags a finger at him. “If you catch me, you can do whatever you want.”

    That makes . . . something happen on Lan Zhan’s face. Something that makes Wei Wuxian shiver.


    Wei Wuxian accidentally tells Lan Wangji about their strange game of chase that night at the inn. His solution to this predicament? Obviously, they need to play again!
