Summary
This fic owes its inspiration to Set that crown on the ground by Yeats in which rather than being accepted into the Jin sect as a son after the Sunshot campaign, Meng Yao is given a pouch of money and a letter from Jin Guangshan inviting him to take up the leadership of the Moling Meng sect, under the patronage of the Jin sect.
It’s obvious in the fic that this is just a way of getting rid of Meng Yao, without having to legitimize him. Meng Yao is insulted and accepts Lan Xichen’s offer to bring him into the Lan sect instead. But I thought, “Honestly that’s a pretty sweet deal. I would like to see what a Moling Meng sect would be like.” So this fic is an attempt at imagining what might have happened if Meng Yao had accepted.
Thank you to JMO2244 for finding Yeats' fic for me :) (Which it turns out I did not remember as well as I thought!)

Summary
What if Roy quit before he could be fired? What if his pain was taken seriously? What if he was deviously manipulated into coaching? What if he had spent his whole career denying himself his sexuality? What if Jamie kept being a fucking problem? What if everything happened just a little bit differently?

Summary
Post-canon, Lan Xichen has entered seclusion in the aftermath of the events in the Guanyin Temple. Six months later he comes to his brother's rooms late at night with what seems like a rather awkward favor to ask of him -- it seems he is being haunted.
Also, Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui are struggling with their feelings for each other after an awkward encounter with a field of flower yao led to unintended confessions between them.

Summary
It turned out that all Meng Yao had to do to turn his fortunes in life around was find a beautiful man in a ditch, save his life by wagering his own cultivation, and allow everyone to assume they were legitimately married.
(or: Meng Yao vs every single marriage-related trope: FIGHT.)

Summary
The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time.
Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.

Summary
A perfectly ordinary ComfortUnit is assigned to a planetary survey alongside a somewhat less ordinary SecUnit. Unintuitively, this actually reduces the survey team’s overall comfort levels by a significant margin.
