Summary
“I mean,” Wei Ying’s brain catches up to her mouth, “uh, isn’t that one of the points of modern art? Like everyone says, oh, a canvas that’s just painted all over in one shade of blue, that’s not art, I could do that! But then, yeah, like, you could! So, go on, do it!” Lan Zhan just blinks at her. Wei Ying can’t stand the silence, she has no choice but to keep speaking. “I mean, where’s the famale gaze? Maybe that’s what you should do for your dissertation.”
“The female gays?”
“Mhmm,” Wei Ying says, somewhat frantically, walking them towards the door to the next room. “Yeah, sure. You could do your own series or something.”
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan go to a modern art museum.

Summary
Xie Lian never judged a book’s contents by its cover. He had read plenty of good books over the years that had plain or uninteresting covers. Usually the title or summary compensated for the plain exterior and would be the reason Xie Lian pulled the book off of the shelf. Sometimes he’d take a book out of sheer curiosity, even if nothing drew his attention. Those were often the books where he would be pleasantly surprised. Underneath plain dust jackets could be hidden intricate gold leaf designs. Some may have folded maps in the back cover. Or, on rare occasions, Xie Lian would find the pages edged in gold, a feature that could not be seen until the book was pulled off the shelf to shimmer under the light.
One day while perusing the stacks at the library, he finds a book shelved apart from the others, as though peerless. The plain dust jacket was in taters, revealing the faded red cloth of the hardcover underneath.
And it was filled with paper butterflies.
OR a 90s nostalgia modern AU where Xie Lian randomly meets Hua Cheng over a poetry anthology and they fall in love (slowly) and get up to shenanigans with their friends.
Written for the 2021 MXTX Big Bang event.

Summary
The tip jar lurks discreetly on the counter, TRAVEL FUND loudly sharpied in red. The words float above a cartoon donkey sticker sporting a shirt that proclaims, Hee Haw! Get yer ASS in gear! The tip jar gets way more action than Wei Ying does, Wen Qing likes to tease. He laughs; of course he laughs. He laughs at everything.
At night though, he's all laughed out. Tip jar money is used for noodles and wine, and the leftovers become pocket money he sends to his favorite 14 year old musician.
Is it weird to wish for more, to want more, but to just hang around waiting… just...waiting? He couldn't even say what he was waiting for.
Or: Wei Ying is in love. He just hasn’t realized it yet.
