    Summary

    "And for Lan Zhan? He's not going to believe that I mentioned A-Yuan to him and he's the one who forgot about it."

    Nie Huaisang lifts his wine glass and gestures with it a little, like a sage who has given his advice and now the rest is Wei Wuxian's problem. "You're just going to have to pretend very hard. Don't let him break you."

     
    Or: The one where Wei Wuxian secretly adopts A-Yuan and when he tries to convince Lan Wangji he had a kid all along, Lan Wangji rolls with it, ups the ante, and sets off a game of chicken that digs up buried feelings that Wei Wuxian is 100% sure he's not going to act on. Okay, 90% sure.

    Summary

    From his job in the Armitage L train station booth, Wei Ying has watched The Most Beautiful Man In The World ride the train at 8 am and 4:30 pm for years, always in perfect suits, always with perfect hair, always with a perfect smile.

    He's going to marry that guy someday. So what if he doesn't know his name. Names have nothing to do with true love.

    When he saves His Future Husband from being squished by a train, Wei Ying finds himself engulfed in a tsunami of Lans who think he really is going to marry Mr. Wonderful, Lan Xichen, their son/brother/uncle/nephew. Despite himself, Wei Ying likes belonging to them. Except for the lying. Except for the guilt. Except for the fact that he took one look at his pretend-fiancé's brother, Lan Zhan, and maybe, MAYBE fell stupidly, hopelessly in love.

    He can't tell them. He can't not tell them. How could this possibly get any worse??? (spoiler alert: it gets worse)

    The whole mistake plot was a bit too long for my liking, but there are many other things in this fic that I absolutely adore! The feeling of family, songs, winter atmosphere. It's in my heart now.

    Ohhh It's such a good fic! Short but great. I enjoyed the feeling of warmth and realism so much. Jiang Cheng trying to make things right in the only way he knows how - by swimming <3

    Summary

    For Lan Wangji, loving or being loved inevitably leads to grieving. He's seen it happen countless times.

    When he's hit by a car and put into an induced coma for a few days, his mind wanders, and he gets the opportunity to revisit different periods of his life, and starts to reconsider his view on things.

    In his coma, he hears the voice of the boy he once loved but thought he'd lost - though that might have been just a dream. Or was it?

    Wei Wuxian volunteers at the hospital to reduce anxiety in child patients. One day, he meets a boy who's crying for his father. His day gets even weirder when Wei Wuxian meets the boy's uncle, who asks him for a special favour.

    Just soft a little angsty modern AU. The image of Wei Wuxian playing with a puppet to make children smile will stay with me for a long time <3

    Summary

    The facts are:

    - Lan Zhan died saving Wei Ying’s life.

    - Lan Zhan died and it was Wei Ying’s fault.

    - Lan Zhan died and something might be haunting Wei Ying.

    - Lan Zhan died but Wei Ying sees him and talks to him almost everyday.

    - Lan Zhan died and Wei Ying is probably, definitely, going insane over it.

    Something weird is going on.
    And one of those facts has to be a lie.

    Wei Ying just needs to figure it out.
