    Summary

    "How old are you?" Lan Wangji said as he asked the question through chords.

    Wei Ying's stomach dropped to his toes. The feeling coursing through him was sickeningly familiar. In the Burial Mounds, he fought tooth and nail to keep the spirits out of his head. Whenever they'd get too close, his skin crawled, and it felt like he were a puppet being pulled along by strings. Now, a lighter, less malicious energy prodded him; it was gentle but not merciful. It reached its hand down his throat and stole words from his lips before he could think to stop it.

    "Eighteen!"

    Summary

    “Did you break the ward to come in?” Lan Wangji asks, point-blank. He has his sword out and pointed at Wei Wuxian, no bothering with niceties like hello I’m Lan Wangji, and you are?

    Wei Wuxian eyes the sword, but doesn’t react. He keeps lazing back on the roof, casually drinking his wine, as if this is the usual way he meets new people. (And maybe it is! I don’t know your life, Wei Wuxian!)

    Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian meet on Season 8 of The Cultivation World. Ouyang Zizhen writes the recaps.

    Summary

    “Is there anything I can do to help?”

    “I dunno,” Wei Ying says, offering up a smile that’s small but genuine. “Can you rewire my brain so I don’t panic when people want to kiss me?”

    “I do not believe so,” Lan Zhan says with exaggerated mournfulness. (Most people would not be able to tell he was doing so, but most people are not Wei Ying.) It would normally get him a laugh, or a snort, or his favorite, a snort laugh, but Wei Ying doesn’t respond. He just sits there and stares at Lan Zhan like he’s doing extremely complicated math in his head and choreographing a nine-person dance number at the same time.

    “Lan Zhan,” he starts, a light sparking in his eyes and his voice coming out rushed, “Lan Zhan, could you—would you be okay with—”

    “Breathe,” Lan Zhan orders gently, squeezing Wei Ying’s hand again.

    Wei Ying rolls his eyes but obeys, inhaling deeply and re-centering himself before he looks Lan Zhan full in the face, shoulders square and chin up. “Will you kiss me?” he asks, like that’s a reasonable thing to ask and not the culmination of over a decade of Lan Zhan’s specific, secret, fervent dreams.

    Or: A journey of self discovery... and the inevitable emotional fallout.

    “Also,” added Lan Xichen, because he was a terrible brother and Lan Wangji’s current least favorite person, “Wei Wuxian will be there. I heard he’s single.”

    Summary


    Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.

    One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.

    He did yelp a little. But very manfully.

    “No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”

    Summary

    “Do you want me to leave?” Lan Wangji asked finally.
    Looking into those mesmerizing golden eyes, slightly widened, Wei Wuxian thought Lan Wangji had never looked so young, or so vulnerable.
    He could only answer with the truth.

    Or: During the lectures at the Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian has a nightmare. Lan Wangji decides to help.

    Summary

    Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.

    He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.

    Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.

    -

    Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.

    Summary

    Ah. The Asshole Dog is loose again. Lan Zhan knows that it is not the dog’s fault for being an asshole, but The Asshole Dog is the reason Lan Zhan had a fence put in at a significant personal expense, because the alternative was allowing his garden to be destroyed and for Bunny to be menaced on her leashed outdoor adventures. Unacceptable. The Most Beautiful Man in the World cringes at the barking, scooting further away from the door through a sea of a dozen broken eggs and leaving a yolky trail in his wake.

    “Fuck,” he whimpers, curling into a ball, both hands wrapped around the back of his neck as if to—as if to protect himself, Lan Zhan realizes. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, please—” The Most Beautiful Man in the World begs, voice ragged. He’s definitely hyperventilating now, from what Lan Zhan can tell between the audible sobs. There’s another bark from outside, and The Most Beautiful Man in the World flinches bodily, making a terrified sound that Lan Zhan feels behind his ribs.

    Or: A meet ugly, a dog, and the beginning of something wonderful.

    Summary

    “Sorry, I, uh. Laundry day caught up to me before I could catch up with it. I saw this shirt left in the washer a few days ago, and—“ Wei Ying blinks up at Lan Zhan through dark eyelashes that he wants to kiss, maybe, and gives him an uncharacteristically hesitant smile. “Do you mind?”

    I mind the fact that we are not married, Lan Zhan thinks.

    Wei Ying keeps borrowing Lan Zhan’s clothes. It is only mildly driving him insane.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.

    He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?

     

    Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.

     

    He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.

     

    Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

    Summary

    It's almost Qingming, and Wei Wuxian considers the dead. He has an invitation to Yunmeng tucked in his robes, and he is thinking of Mo Xuanyu.

    “Do you ever wonder about him?” Wei Wuxian asks. “What he was really like?”

    Lan Wangji looks out towards the mountains. “All the time,” he says quietly.

    “Really?”

    “Of course I wonder about the man who brought you back to me.”

    Summary

    “We hereby begin the trial of one Wei Ying, courtesy Wuxian, Head Disciple of the Yunmeng Jiang sect. He has been accused of the following charges: the murder of Wen Ruohan and his sons, Wen Chao and Wen Xu, forceful invasion of the territory of another sect, and the reprehensible use of demonic cultivation in order to raise fierce corpses to do his bidding. How does the accused plead?”

    All eyes in the Fragrance Hall turned to Wei Wuxian, who was standing nonchalantly in the middle of the room, hands bound with qi-suppressing cuffs. He seemed entirely too relaxed.

    “You forgot Wen Zhuliu.” He drawled carelessly, slouching and shifting his weight onto one leg in a move that in any other context, many of the ladies present would have called sassy. “I’m pretty sure he’s also dead.”

    Summary

    "I thought you hated touching, though."

    There's a long silence, long enough that Wei Wuxian starts to wonder if Lan Wangji is just going to ignore him. It would hardly be the first time.

     "I don't always hate it," he finally says. Lan Wangji's large hand is a warm brand through the thin fabric of Wei Wuxian's robe. His thumb moves a little, sweeping a wide arc over the angle of Wei Wuxian's hipbone. He seems as if he's not done, so Wei Wuxian tries to be patient. "I don't hate it when it's you," Lan Wangji adds.

     

    Lan Wangji has always been particular about touching and being touched. As usual, he's willing to break all of his rules for Wei Wuxian.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji keep breaking bathtubs, and the Juniors come up with the obvious explanation - someone is clearly tampering with them in an attempt to torment the Yiling Patriarch. Obviously they need to do something about this; no one is allowed to mess with their Senior Wei.

    (Someone really needs to tell them that there is no huge conspiracy going on, and that Wangxian are really just that enthusiastic).

    Summary

    Lan Wangji has never met a worse supervillain.

    He finds this rather remarkable considering that he has, during his tenure as Hanguang-jun, fought quite a large number of villains. Certainly some of them, like Wen Ruohan’s two successors, Wen Xu and Wen Chao, lacked style, as did Su She and Jin Zixun. But what they lacked in style, each and every one of them made up for in sheer villany. Even Wang Lingjiao didn’t hesitate to kick a puppy she saw on the street.

    The Yiling Patriarch, on the other hand. Well.
