    Summary

    “You are going to be betrothed soon. And after that you will marry. And infidelity is against the Lan precepts.”

    “Premarital sex is also against the Lan precepts.” He rocks his hips into Xichen’s. “And you’ve broken that one a hundred times.” Xichen looks at him.

    “You know the actual number, don’t you?” Guangyao throws his head back in a laugh. Strokes Xichen’s jaw.

    “Any way you count it, it's over a hundred.” He smiles. “What’s one more rule broken?” He whispers, standing up on his tiptoes to nuzzle Xichen’s nose with his own.

    Summary

    "The teapot is resting on its stand, empty cups stacked next to it. But there is another cup, half full, resting in front of where a-Yao always sits. There is a mark upon the rim, of oil and wax from a-Yao’s lips, that so often chap in the winter. There is a secret thrill that suddenly fills Xichen, at the idea of placing his mouth on the same cup a-Yao drank from. Tasting what a-Yao’s lips would taste like."

    This is just an indulgent fix-it with little to no regard towards the delicate political tensions of canon. Enjoy!

    Summary

    “Huaisang sits at Mingjue’s bedside and seethes. Mingjue lies there, tied down to keep him from thrashing. Covered in fresh white bandages, already soaking through with blood. Baxia shudders and groans, rasping in her sheath.

    They whisper to him that it’s too late, that it’s time to put Da-ge out of his misery, but Huaisang just banishes them from his council if his advisors dare to say it to his face.”

    Summary

    There’s a knock at the door.

    “a-Sang, it’s only me.” Huaisang hears Jin Guangyao whisper. And his voice is so soft and gentle, like a balm. Like the medicine he had tried to press into Huaisang’s burnt hands as he slammed the door shut on him hours earlier.

    Summary

    His blade was made special for him, as all Nie blades are. It was very thin, light. Almost not a saber at all. And with the spirit of the hawk Huaisang had hunted, it would be a formidable blade. Nie Huaisang did not want a formidable blade.

    Summary

    Most of the time, this is all they do. They sleep together. Close, close, so close to feel their beating hearts synchronize. Their breaths pouring out into the same space until the pillow is damp from both their warm exhalations. They hold each other and they sleep.

    Sometimes, they have done more than that. When they couldn’t sleep.

    Summary

    “Where are you going?” Asks Jiang Wanyin.

    “Lan Zhan says it’s eight o’clock.” Says Wei Wuxian, stretching.

    “So?” Demands Wanyin. “It’s early.”

    “Oh, terribly. But Lan Zhan goes to bed at nine so if we want to spend any time together, we have to do it before then. Wuxian steps close to Wangji, grabs his arm with both hands and waggles his eyebrows at Wanyin. Then laughs as Wanyin pulls a disgusted face and starts shouting at them to leave.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng is just leaning down to kneel for meditation, Sandu in hand, when he hears it. "Riiiiiiiiiib-bit." He looks down at the frog on Sandu’s pommel as it blinks at him. Jiang Cheng stares. Then the frog takes a leap off the pommel and goes sailing in an elegant arc over the balcony to plunk into the lotus lake.

    For a moment he can only stare, dumbstruck, at the ripples where the frog landed. He looks down at his sword, now pommelless, and back at the lake.

     

    Yes, this is a pommel frog fic, what more do you want?
