    Summary

    William Laurence, third son of Lord and Lady Allendale, has been adrift in the world since his failed career start in His Majesty’s Navy. In an attempt to gain a foothold as candidate for Stable Master in his family's legacy as one of the top Thoroughbred yards in the nation, he takes on the seemingly straightforward task of a business trip to the far-flung island of Thisby, where supposedly, an eccentric horseman has managed to introduce the fabled capaill uisce into his breeding stock bloodlines. However, as the autumn tides turn, the island’s facade begins to crumble and Thisby’s true nature reveals itself. Laurence’s life is thrown into upheaval when unforeseen circumstances bring him to enter in this year's race, and he must capture a water horse of his own: a reckless undertaking that could cost him his life.

    Summary

    “I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”

     

    Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.

     

    “Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”

     

    ___

    Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.

    Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

    Summary

    "Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."

    Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."

    --

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway.

    Summary

    "Oh, and speaking of pretty boys," Nie Huaisang says, turning back to Wei Wuxian's unconscious form, "Don't get me started on poor Second Master Lan. He's pathetic without you, you should really see him. He's practically in tears without you here to flirt with him! He's mooning over your corpse like —"

    "Nie Huaisang, that's enough," Lan Wangji snaps. He struggles with what to address first; the worst is that, "Wei Ying is not a corpse. Don't say such things."

    "Sorry," Nie Huaisang says. "But sitting there silently and willing him to wake up isn't going to help, Hanguang-Jun. You want him to wake up, right? Then tell him why!" He whacks Lan Wangji's shoulder lightly with his fan.

    --

    Wei Wuxian is unconscious for three days after the fall of QishanWen. His friends worry themselves sick.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian plays the flute. Someone in Wei Wuxian's apartment complex plays violin. Sometimes, they play the flute and the violin together, and it's... nice. It's really nice. It's sort of the nicest thing going on in his life right now, honestly.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng stares at him. “Didn’t you say you broke up five months ago?”

    “Yeah.”

    “So why do you have a picture of you two kissing taped to your fridge?”

    “Because we’re too broke for magnets,” Wei Wuxian explains, then considers that statement. “Well, I’m too broke for magnets. Lan Zhan probably refuses to buy them because he’s trying to have lofty ideas about the moral failings of materialism.”

    Wei Wuxian navigates the trials of living with his ex-boyfriend in apartment 1301.

    Summary

    Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.

    He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.

    In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian's messiness comes back to bite him in the ass, a thousand years later.

    ***

    "Why are vampire stories always I Want To Drink The Sexy Neck Milkshake and never two vampires texting about the passionate letter one wrote to the other in 1863 but never sent that the other just saw in the Smithsonian’s fall exhibition on Love Through the Ages and what the fuck, Claude, why didn’t you say anything" AU, but with immortal cultivators.

    Summary

    “Ooo,” he says, turning the stand towards him. “‘Card-bored for cardboard ensemble,’ that’s original. Might as well write a dedication with that title.”

    “You’re not even in music,” Jiang Cheng hisses under the background of voices arguing.

    Nie Huisang raises an eyebrow and pulls out a French horn. In the front of the room, Wei Wuxian’s voice rises.

    “I’ve never seen you use that,” says Jiang Cheng.

    “I’m a man of many mysteries.”

    Wen Qing turns around. Her rubberband and cereal box guitar creaks ominously in her hands. At her glare, the two of them fall silent just in time to hear Lan Wangji say, cool as a cucumber:

    “It is no wonder that Wei Ying never writes for real instruments, since he can barely write for ones of his own creation.”

    Nie Huisang looks like Christmas has come early. “This is even better than I imagined.”

    Summary

    “Come on, A-Cheng!” Wei Ying says. “Think of all the hapless youths who are watching hanguang_jun’s channel and being duped into thinking that’s what university is like! It’s not fair on the kids!”

    Jiang Cheng appears to be entirely unmoved by this highly logical argument.

    Lan Zhan runs a popular studytuber YouTube channel. Wei Ying decides to parody his videos. Things escalate from there.

    Summary

    “Boys,” he says out loud.

    Lan Zhan takes back his boba and stirs it with the straw. Then he takes a sip, which Wei Ying had not been ready for, because his mouth had been on that straw about ten seconds ago, and if Lan Zhan’s mouth is also on that straw, now, then—“Boys?” Lan Zhan repeats. His tone is questioningly amused.

    Then. Profit?

    “Hhhhhhh.”

    Straw? Mouth? Mouth? Lan Zhan chews on a pearl thoughtfully. “Take your time,” he says, swallowing. The bob of his throat under the white choker he’s wearing today can ruin entire cities, Wei Ying decides.
