    Summary

    It's his reflection. Lan Wangji can look at it for as long as he wants. It's just boring to do so. Who really likes staring at their reflection, anyway? It's normal to finish your mirror-related tasks as quickly as possible and then move on.

    Lan Wangji attempts to move on, and the itch under his skin climbs all the way up into his skull to attack his brain. He watches his reflection as his posture shifts, his shoulders softening and curling in slightly, one of his hips cocking to add a curve to his spine. He lets his hand settle lightly on his hip, drawing more attention to the curve, and twists his torso so there's more of a contrast between the indent of his waist and the sway of his hip, tipping his head so his hair drapes further down over his shoulder. He meets his own eyes and for just an instant he sees someone else, someone softer, someone prettier—

    Heart hammering, Lan Wangji rips himself away from the mirror and towels off his hair with shaking hands.

    Or: Lan Zhan learns how to be happy.

    Summary

    “What do you think about,” Wei Ying said aloud, before she could stop herself, before she could even think twice about the repercussions. “When you.” She finally found Lan Zhan’s eyes, molten in the low light, and swallowed in a tiny, audible gulp. “You know.”

    On Wei Ying, Lan Zhan’s gaze didn’t waver even a fraction.

    “Giving head,” she said.

    Wei Ying was certain she’d misheard. “Getting head?”

    “No,” said Lan Zhan.

    After a surprise party gone awry, Wei Ying surprises herself.

    "Bad Grief could never be caught holding someone’s little bundle of joy, not ever… but when Artemy ran at him full-tilt, shoved a baby into his arms, and kissed him on the forehead before running off again without saying a word, Bad Grief couldn’t say no. He didn’t have the time or chance to."

    Summary

    Lotus Pier is surrounded by water and Jiang Cheng knows water. He has played in the shallows with a-jie since he was young, sneaked out to the lotus fields with A-Xian and delighted in stealing some lotus pods together and eating them along the banks. Jiang Cheng has drifted off on the river more times than he can count, has seen how the sunlight ripples along the water’s surface, has seen the stormy undercurrent when the clouds would gather and the heavens would be blocked from view — Jiang Cheng can close his eyes and picture Lotus Pier in sun, rain, shine, and monsoon. Jiang Cheng can read the water better than he can read his mother’s anger or his father’s indifference, can read the water better than the looks Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli send each other, their eyes lighting up at the sight of one another, twin beings of light that coalesce into one shining enigma that burns Jiang Cheng’s retinas. Jiang Cheng can read the water and there is no warmth to be found in those depths.

    Summary

    He doesn’t regret— no. Start over. He would do it again.

    He thinks, sometimes, about how it had gone, when he cannot distract himself any longer with calligraphy exercises or trying to grow increasingly exotic plants behind the jingshi. He runs through the sequence of events again and again, wearing a groove in them, the way he had once recited the clan rules.

    When the Wens come for Lotus Pier, Lan Wangji jumps in front of a blast intended for Wei Wuxian and loses his core.

    Summary

    “What does it mean, that Wen Ruohan has all the Yin Iron?” Jiang Cheng asked, dragging himself up into a sitting position – her medicines must have worked quickly, because his ribs gave only a twinge when he moved.

    Wen Qing settled down beside him, head bowed as she packed away her supplies, her shoulder brushing his arm when she moved. “It means that no one in the cultivation world can oppose him,” she whispered.

    Canon divergence AU in which Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan are captured by the Wens after escaping from the Xuanwu's cave, before they can return to rescue Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.
