    Summary

    It's his reflection. Lan Wangji can look at it for as long as he wants. It's just boring to do so. Who really likes staring at their reflection, anyway? It's normal to finish your mirror-related tasks as quickly as possible and then move on.

    Lan Wangji attempts to move on, and the itch under his skin climbs all the way up into his skull to attack his brain. He watches his reflection as his posture shifts, his shoulders softening and curling in slightly, one of his hips cocking to add a curve to his spine. He lets his hand settle lightly on his hip, drawing more attention to the curve, and twists his torso so there's more of a contrast between the indent of his waist and the sway of his hip, tipping his head so his hair drapes further down over his shoulder. He meets his own eyes and for just an instant he sees someone else, someone softer, someone prettier—

    Heart hammering, Lan Wangji rips himself away from the mirror and towels off his hair with shaking hands.

    Or: Lan Zhan learns how to be happy.

    Summary


    “Wei Ying?” Nie Mingjue prompted him gently. “Where are your parents?”

    “They went on a night hunt,” Wei Ying said, a bit evasively.

    “Your parents are cultivators?” Da-ge asked in surprise. “Did they leave you here while they hunted? When did they go on their night hunt?”

    “Four summers ago,” Wei Ying said a bit uncomfortable.

    “Four summers ago,” Nie Mingjue repeated. “What are your parents’ names?”

    “My mama is Cangse Sanren and my baba is Wei Changze,” Wei Ying told him, and recognition registered in Nie Mingjue’s eyes.

    “Wei Ying,” Nie Mingjue said, sounding a bit regretful, “Your parents aren’t coming back.”


    Or, Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang run into Wei Ying while in Yiling and decide to bring him home. And it changes everything.

    Summary

    “Your robes are very beautifully made,” Xie Yun says honestly, doing his best to speak the same dialect and choosing not to mention any of the horny thoughts he’s currently having.

    The being gives him a withering look. “Did you summon me to compliment my robes?”

    Xie Yun blinks. “No?” he offers, feeling very wrong-footed, which is not a way he’s used to feeling.

    The being straightens their shoulders and nods. “Who do you want me to kill, then?”

    Okay, that is a pretty significant escalation. “No one?” Xie Yun tries.

    The being frowns at him. “Then what did you summon me for?”

    Xie Yun decides that having this conversation while lying propped on his elbows on the floor is undignified, and he pushes up to sitting. “Pardon me, honored guest, but I didn’t summon you.”

    Or: Xie Yun accidentally summons a demon, and gets way more than he bargained for... but not in a bad way.
