Summary
Many years after the loathsome King Ruohan outlawed the worshipping of huli jings, ordering the destruction of all shrines dedicated to them, a single prayer is heard in a long forgotten temple.
The deep, alluring voice of a handsome prince awakens the abandoned deity of his country, asking for their help in defeating the neighbouring Scorching Sun Kingdom and their plans to rule over the five great realms.

Summary
"It's not my fault, alright?"
"I never said it's your fault."
"Still you're mad at me."
"Whom should I be mad at then? Our neighbors?"
There's something about Lan Zhan being upset with him that never sits well with Wei Ying. It leaves him feeling wrong, unguarded, untethered. He does not like it, in the least bit, when Lan Zhan gets genuinely angry. He does not like fighting with his husband.
or: Lan Zhan does not want to understand this time.

Summary
After returning from the burial mounds and while being hugged by Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian suddenly collapses. Instead of having a tense confrontation with Lan Wangji, the direction of this meeting now goes down a very different route.
--
In which Wei Wuxian gets the love and care he deserves and the war goes differently because of it. Canon divergence after Wen Zhuliu's death. Canon-typical violence, implied severe bodily harm / torture. Found Family and Yunmeng Sibling shenanigans. Of course there's also Wangxian.

Summary
After a few months of traveling, something strange starts to happen to Wei Wuxian; his old scars reappear on his new body. This would be...totally fine and acceptable, if it didn't also entail all the pain, and the wounds, and the memories. Reluctantly, he returns to the cultivation world for help. Well. To Lan Zhan. He returns to Lan Zhan.
Post-canon shenanigans in which WWX is traveling alone with LWJ as chief cultivator as in CQL, but he has Mo Xuanyu's body as in the book. We mix and match canon as we see fit here. Lots of angst, lots of nostalgia. We're getting the whole band back together and giving WWX some loving. I promise there's a happy ending here.

Summary
It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.
“Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”
“It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

Summary
Lan Wangji lived for ballet. His life revolved around it, for that moment where the music would swell and the curtain would rise. Only during his most recent tour, the spark was gone. He no longer looked forward to going out on stage. So he does the only thing he can think of, duck his Uncle's reminders about audtitions and commit to helping his brother run their mother's ballet studio. Only to find the walls shaking with bass heavy hip hop.
The man responsible? The new teacher Lan Wangji's brother hired to broaden their offerings, a man named Wei Ying. He's confusing and chaotic, and perhaps exactly what Lan Wangji needs to rekindle his spark.

Summary
“What a stuck-up ass,” he mutters. Which earns him an elbow to the ribs from Jiang Cheng.
“Oi. Careful how you speak. His family’s old money, you don’t want to get in trouble with them. Better to just stay out of his hair.”
“Pffft, as if old money was a reason to be impolite to people who just wanted to say hello. I bet if he would take his head out of his butt, we’d actually become good friends real fast.”
Or: Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji meet in high school, and Wei Wuxian sets out to win his friendship.

Summary
The door leading to the garage creaks open. Pen twirling between deft fingers, Hua Cheng glances up and promptly freezes.
A literal angel stands before him, wiping grease from his palms with a worn rag.
When local racer Hua Cheng makes a last-ditch appointment at a small shop near the edge of the city, he doesn't expect much. He definitely doesn't expect to fall head over heels for a certain unfairly hot mechanic.

Summary
“I...I don’t know why I said that,” he says. His voice is hoarse from crying out. “I didn’t...you can. You can just-”
“Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan cuts him off. “Tell me.”
“Tell you.”
“What...to do.”
Wei Wuxian has come up with a solution that will (hopefully) get them both what they want.
Can be read as a standalone, but will mean more as part of the series; contains references to part 1 but is not overly dependent on them.

Summary
Hua Cheng has never been one to mingle with his neighbours much — until one day a kind and beautiful man moves into the apartment building and catches his eye immediately. Despite the distance of several floors separating Hua Cheng’s luxury apartment and Xie Lian’s shabby little flat on the lowest floor, Hua Cheng is determined to get to know his new neighbour.
To Hua Cheng’s delight, Xie Lian seems just as eager to befriend him... but his joy is soon shadowed by the dawning realisation that Xie Lian is struggling with far more than just malfunctioning locks and broken thermostats.

Summary
As he immerses himself in the book, Xie Lian keeps absentmindedly playing with the ring of ashes. It soon warms up against his fingertips, as though the very essence of Hua Cheng’s soul were reacting to his beloved’s touch.
A soft noise breaks Xie Lian’s focus once again, and he raises his head.
“…San Lang?”
He turns to look at Hua Cheng, who has stopped polishing the sword, his posture suddenly tense. As Xie Lian blinks at him, wondering what is going on, Hua Cheng hisses out a breath, shuddering slightly.
—————————
Xie Lian finds out Hua Cheng can feel when he touches the ring of ashes. He also finds out Hua Cheng is very much into it.Bookmarked by B_Steph

Summary
"Mu Qing!" came Dianxia's sweet-sounding voice. "Where are you?" Hua Cheng's pulse sped up. His entire body was screaming for him to bolt down the stairs, flee as fast as he could. He could not be perceived. He would die if he were to be perceived. The soft steps, naked feet on tiles, came closer. Hua Cheng's ears were filled with rushing, his skin prickled all over. It was like tiny hands had grabbed his windpipe and were yanking it up and down. And then the prince came into view, wrapped in a bathrobe. His hair was out of its royal braid, hanging in loose black strands, stark against the white linen. He had the complexion of someone who had just walked out of a steam room, his cheeks and nose pink.
"Mu Qing, I want-" Dianxia said and turned his head, looking up at Hua Cheng and pausing.
Just like that, all the anxiety and fear drained out of Hua Cheng's body.
He could not recall why he had been so terrified. He felt good. Safe. Dianxia smiled and his cheeks dimpled. His smile was so wide it pushed into his eyes, almost making them squint. Hua Cheng realized nobody had ever looked at him like this.
"I know you!" Dianxia said. "You won't run again, will you?"

Summary
"In the midst of the South Sea are the houses of the kău people who dwell in the water like fish, but have not given up weaving at the loom. Their eyes have the power to weep, but what they bring forth is pearls." (Matsuoka,1982)
Soaked bandages covered half the human’s face while a bewildered black eye peered at him in utter amazement. That expression had lingered in Xie Lian’s mind long after returning to the ocean floor.
As the last doors of consciousness begin to close, the drowning jiaoren can’t help but wonder why he chose that memory to be his last. He wonders what ever happened to that child, and who he had grown up to become.
POTENTIAL NOVEL SPOILERS
This has probably been done before, but an au inspired by Starember's mermaid au art and jiaoren mythology.
Basically, pirate Hua Cheng must protect mermaid Xie Lian from those attempting to steal his tears while racing against the clock to find an antidote for a cruel poison stealing Xie Lian's life away.Bookmarked by B_Steph
