    Summary

    The Great Dragon leans a little closer, regarding him with curiosity. “Wei Wuxian, you are our final hope.”

    Wei Wuxian has to pinch himself again. “That doesn’t make any…”

    “Your destiny has been written in the stars for eons. You will bring peace and prosperity to our wretched land. This is your fate, Wei Wuxian."

    “Oh…” Wei Wuxian sucks in a breath through his teeth. “Uh, maybe you have the wrong guy?”

    The dragon speaks calmly. “That is not possible."


    When Wei Wuxian leaves his home and comes to Gusu, it’s with every intention of starting a fresh, new, quiet life. But that quickly flies out the window when he finds out he’s—supposedly—meant to fulfil a grand destiny and change the whole world for the better. On top of that, he’s meant to do this alongside the esteemed Prince Wangji of Gusu. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Except for the fact that:

    1. The use of magic is strictly forbidden in the kingdom
    2. He’s a sorcerer

    What could possibly go wrong?

    (A lot.)

    Summary

    When Bachira smiles, a single dimple appears on the left side of his cheek, Isagi notices, and it makes his smile appear a bit lopsided. It’s kind of endearing.

    “You don’t have any friendship bracelets,” Bachira quips, bringing Isagi’s wrist close to his face, like he might find an invisible bracelet there.

    “Um, no. I don’t,” Isagi stammers, and Bachira cocks his head to the side.

    “We’ll have to change that now, won’t we!” He lets go of Isagi’s wrist, and Isagi can still feel the phantom warmth of Bachira’s palm against his skin.

    Summary

    The first time he meets Bachira outside their assigned dormitory for some after-hours training, Isagi views it as a mutually-beneficial arrangement, ready to make the most of it by learning a thing or two from this exceptionally talented, yet undeniably odd dribbler—while friendly and perhaps a little too touchy-feely, Bachira Meguru doesn’t fail to give Isagi the chills. There’s nothing more to it, really; they’re supposed to head in, practice shooting and passing, and then leave. No pointless talking or getting to know each other on a deeper level.

    That was the initial idea.

    Turns out that Bachira is quite the chatterbox. He also proves to be exceptionally hard to, well, not like.

    Bachira Meguru falls hard, but Isagi Yoichi falls harder.

    Summary

    There was one person in particular that truly fueled Yoichi’s evolution, right from the moment he found himself as the Oni in the game of tag that very first day. The one person that saw fit to pass to him, the one person to show him his monster, and the one person who turned out to be his first friend in Blue Lock—Bachira Meguru.

    Bachira, who just sent Yoichi a pass he was determined to use to its full potential this time.

    -x-x-x-

    If Isagi Yoichi knew anything right now, it was that he didn't have time for this. With his career on the line in the First Selection of Blue Lock, there was already the challenge of finding his place within Team Z and improving his own skills. But throw in complicated feelings for his new best friend, Bachira Meguru, and a multitude of new self-discoveries, and you have way too much for just one boy to handle.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan isn’t a curious man when it comes to other people's business, but if this person is gonna scream and ruin his quiet moment alone, he wants to see who it is.

    He's almost turning back inside, tired of waiting, when the man in red raises his eyes and finds him.

    For a second, he is frozen in place. The man catches him red handed, meeting his gaze head-on, and Lan Zhan feels his ears blushing despite his frustration. The man looks confused, and then intrigued. Lan Zhan thinks he will have no problem remembering him tomorrow. He has very… distinguishing features.

    When the man’s face turns into a full grin, Lan Zhan turns around and goes back inside.

    -

    Lan Zhan meets an infuriating florist while he's working as the cook in a wedding. Wei Ying is loud, annoying and childish, and Lan Zhan can't wait for the time when this wedding is done so he never has to see him again. Surely, the world isn't so small that they would meet a second time.
    Right?

    Summary

    Wei Ying has a lot on his plate right now.

    It’s finals week -- which isn’t so bad. He’s never had to study much to do well in classes. But that just means that things are that much more tense with Jiang Cheng, who, as far as Wei Ying can tell, only takes study breaks long enough to glare at Wei Ying where he sits on the couch playing video games.

    It’s not studies that have Wei Ying stressed out. It’s everything else. It’s the recruitment for the research trial he’s coordinating. It’s jiejie and her impending marriage to His Royal Douchebag Jin Zixuan. It’s the volunteer work at the palliative care facility. It’s Wen Ning’s worsening condition. It’s Wen Qing working herself thin to care for her brother and Wen Yuan. It’s the way Wen Yuan never seems to have enough food.

    So, yeah. There’s enough on Wei Ying’s plate already, meaning it’s not entirely welcome when he comes home and finds a man standing in his bedroom. A man in extravagant white robes, a ribbon tied around his forehead, long hair gathered into a topknot, fist clutching a sword at his side, who asks him, “Where am I?”

    Summary

    And, standing a healthy twenty feet away from Wei Ying, is The Guy.

    The Guy as in: six-foot-something, striking golden eyes, long pretty fingers curling around the spine of a textbook. He has the face of a movie star, a model, whatever, and he’s definitely not someone you’d expect to see at eight o’clock on a Monday morning without so much as a cup of the trashy coffee they sell in the dining hall nursed against his chest. It’s a very nice chest.

    Wei Ying would know, because this is the same guy he puked on in the backseat of a dingy cab two weeks ago.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian opens one eye, sneaking a peek at the paper, then both. It’s gone. The flame burns freely and uninterrupted. The curse– the curse should be broken, now, right? He hazards a look at Lan Zhan and his heart thumps in his chest like it’s trying to prove a point.

    “Fucking hell,” he says under his breath.

    “Wei Ying?”

    “I– yeah. Sorry, um. Technical difficulties.”

    Summary

    “It is hard to write a beautiful song. It is harder to write several individually beautiful songs that, when sung simultaneously, sound as a more beautiful polyphonic whole.” (John Rahn)

    In music, counterpoint is the relationship between two or more musical lines that are independent melodies, yet harmonically interdependent.

    Lan Wangji, the principal cellist in his orchestra, finds himself performing JS Bach’s Art of Fugue with a student string quartet one semester and falls in love with the ways his life intersects with that of the lead violinist.

    Wei Wuxian, a composition major, finds himself echoing that sentiment, and the story takes on some of the complexity and fascination of the music they are learning.

    Summary

    “You should make a Tinder account for campaigning,” Nie Huaisang says.

    Wei Ying chokes out, “What?”

    “Sounds like an absolutely terrible idea,” Jiang Cheng says flatly.

    “No, it’s a great idea!” Nie Huaisang insists. “You just swipe right on everyone and then send them a message about how they should vote for you. You’re hot, Wei Ying! People will definitely match with you and then you can swoop in and hit them with the politics!”

    “I don’t even have Tinder,” Wei Ying protests. He’d downloaded the app in first year but had quickly deleted it after a girl responded to his message of wanna get a drink with yeah sure, what time?

    “That can easily be fixed,” Nie Huaisang says.

    Wei Ying downloads Tinder to help him campaign for his student union election. He gets a little more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The first thing Wangji heard when the apartment door closed behind him was the sound of raised voices. Xichen rarely ever raised his voice. In fact, Wangji had only ever heard him yell once, at Shufu and the assembled elders. He did not mean to eavesdrop, but his brother was so loud, so infuriated that it was impossible not to hear him.

    Summary

    Wei Ying believes in fate and fairy tales. A lonely hopeless romantic, he loses himself in fantasies of a man who comes into his workplace every morning. But after a series of events leaves the man in a coma and Wei Ying as the hero who saved him, a miscommunication leads the man’s family to think Wei Ying is his unknown, brand-new fiancé.

    Wei Ying means to clear up the miscommunication—until he meets the man’s brother and decides to stick around for just a little while longer.

    To be fair, Wei Ying didn’t expect to fall for a beautiful stranger—and Lan Zhan certainly didn’t expect to fall for his brother’s fiancé.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian got into running mostly to channel his wayward energy into something moderately productive. He didn't expect to be podiuming for it, certainly not for a D1 university to be offering a free ride through college for him to run with them.

    Lan Wangji just wants to get his 400M hurdles to be less than 50 seconds.

    And possibly a chance at the Olympics.

    And then he sees the new Foot Locker champion -- a freshman, apparently a prodigy, apparently just 17 -- at the Cobb Track, and maybe he wants just a little bit more.

    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.
