    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

    Summary

    Another gust of wind spatters rain into Sizhui’s face, jerking him from his thoughts. The forest is pitch black now, so dark he can barely make out his own hands. They’re mostly numb by this point, and Sizhui huffs gently on them before once more wrapping his arms around himself, pulling his knees up to his chest.

    There’s no telling what hour it is. Past curfew, most likely. Are people out looking for him, right now? Or are they merely getting ready for bed, unwilling to risk going out into the storm.

    …He isn’t sure which he hopes is true.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan wasn’t sure why he’d asked Nie Huaisang, of all people, to help him out with his dilemma, but he didn’t have any other ideas. It wasn’t like he could ask his brother. Lan Huan would first, die laughing, and second, tell him to use his words and be sincere. His inability to do the first made the second impossible. So Nie Huaisang it was.


    Lan Zhan really wants to ask out his hot co-worker, but his own words fail him. Therefore, he will borrow someone else's.

    Summary

    'It is the nature of men to claim a prize rather than earn one,' said Lan Wangji, blinking past the tears in his eyes, 'Now, to capture a unicorn and to become an immortal means you can claim so much more. Had I...I would have been able to claim a wife, land, fortunes. My own brother, older than me, would have had to bow when I passed. I would have been held amongst the greats but...'

     

    'But you would be cursed,' said Wei Ying, 'That's what they've never learned.'


    When Lan Wangji injures a unicorn, he learns the truth about the age-old traditions that his clan and the world have undertaken for generations. With a new friend to protect and the pressure of the world upon him, he knows he must pay a price, the cost of which is high on either side.
