    Summary

    When Wen Ning finds Wei Wuxian, strangled and left for dead a mile out from Lotus Pier, he brings him to his sister in Yiling for treatment. Wen Qing is left with the task of hiding him- and of trying to convince him not to return to the person who nearly killed him, as little as he wants to hear it. She isn't sure there's anything she can do to help him when they're now on opposite sides of a war, but soon events transpire which give Wei Wuxian no choice but to shelter with them in Yiling.

    As much as they can't afford for the Sunshot Campaign to lose the war, neither can they win it; not if all the innocent people caught up in Wen Ruohan's tyranny are to survive. But can anything be done to depose Wen Ruohan, or is the tyrant too close to the sun for any mortal to reach?

    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.

    Summary

    “Lan Zhan, have you, ah… have you ever…”

    Lan Wangji blinks up at him, bewildered. “Have I ever…?”

    “You know,” Wei Ying says, waggling his eyebrows. He makes a vague gesture around his own crotch. It’s halfhearted, but there’s no mistaking its vulgarity.

    Lan Wangji flushes, suddenly and violently. “Of course not!”

    Summary

     


    Lan Wangji lost everything, and has only himself to blame. What remains are the memories, and a little boy who Lan Wangji swears will never forget how to smile. He wouldn’t have fought, if it weren’t for him. He wouldn’t have tried to hold on, if not for the silent promise he made in the darkest moment of his life.

    As much as he wants to be with Wei Ying again, his promise keeps him bound here.

    After flogging, repenting, and seclusion, Lan Wangji faces the next ordeal, also designed to bring him back onto the right path: to give the Lan Clan legitimate heirs. He sees no point in resisting, and resumes his duty to sect and family with the same stoic acceptance that brought him through everything else.

    He hopes that one day, kinder fates may reunite them again, and that Wei Ying will be able to forgive him. And until that day, he treasures the memories of a smile that is forever lost to him.

    Summary

    He pours himself another drink and allows Lan Wangji a moment—he expects that coldness to be hard like glass, needing to shatter to reveal the pink flesh underneath. Instead, Lan Wangji molds fluidly into the explicitness of the situation, lashes lifting slowly as he looks upon Mingjue without a shadow of shame.

    “Are you propositioning me, Sect Leader Nie?”

    ————
    Or, Lan Wangji sleeps around during his sixteen years of hollowness.

    Summary

    Lan Wanji was never told the details of his parents' story. Now that he has discovered his own desires, his life's goal is to keep Wei Wuxian from finding out. But life is cruel and truths get revealed at the worst possible times.

    Since I suck at summaries, here are some key features:
    - it's Wangxian mainly
    - plus some development of the prev generation Lans
    - plus going to war with the Wens
    - plus Wen Qing being totally badass
    - plus Jin family craziness
    - plus just about every character ever mentioned on the show and some assumed ones getting screentime and storylines

    And if you're still wondering, here's a taste:
    ------------------------------
    “Ah, but there are other Wens here though,” Jin Guangshan gave an appraising look to Wen Ning and Wen Qing. “Who could say where they were last night.”

    “Where do you think I was,” Wen Qing retorted quickly, “on my wedding night?”
    [...]
    “What about him then?” a Jin pointed at Wen Ning.

    “He was with me,” Nie Mingjue said flatly.

    “All night?” Nie Huaisang peeked over his fan to stare at his brother. “What were you doing?”

    “Talking,” Nie Mingjue said in a threatening tone. The fan went back up.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji says, “I am also looking to . . . gain practical experience. It seemed mutually advantageous.”

    “Mutually advantageous,” Wei Wuxian echoes. “Wait. Do you mean I’d get to . . . ?”

    Lan Wangji stares at him.

    “Practice — on you?” Wei Wuxian finishes, his eyes round with disbelief.

    During a shared summer studying in the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian diligently pursue an informed sexual education. What could possibly be the harm in some mutual learning?

    Summary

    When Wei Ying was six, his parents went night hunting and never came back.

    When A-Yuan’s teachers come to collect the kids, Wei Ying feels his face do an astronomically dumb grin. The man recognises them and arches one very lovely eyebrow indeed.

    Wei Ying cackles. “Kindergarten teacher, you say?”

    “When did you arrive?” Lan Zhan asks, but he’s looking at the child in Wei Wuxian's arms, and the question is clearly, whose baby is this, and maybe, should I be concerned?

    Gently, Lan Zhan says, “You can start a garden. It’s a good time to prepare, winter is ending.”

    “Fine!” Wei Wuxian cries dramatically. “I guess there’s no time to think about it. The seasons have forced my hand.”

    “I look forward to your harvest,” Lan Zhan says, pleased.

    Summary

    "Eh! 'Little brother,' what!" Wei WuXian says, mock-outraged. "I'm thirty-five!" (Sort of. He was born thirty-five years ago, anyway.) "You must be, what, twenty-five tops?"

    "Nooo," Xie Lian says, smiling. "I'm eight hundred years old."

    "You don't look a day over four hundred," Wei WuXian says. "Seriously, how old are you?"

    "Seriously, I'm eight hundred years old," Xie Lian tells him.

    --

    Lan WangJi had a lot of time to pray to different gods while Wei WuXian was dead. One of them was Hua Cheng.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian would have thought that the dragon’s voice would rattle the trees, shake the earth with its force. Instead, his voice is small and a little raspy. He speaks slowly, as if it is difficult to speak at all.

    “I accept....your offer,” he says painfully. “You know....the price? No leaving...until this season comes again...do you understand?”

    Wei Wuxian doesn’t feel fully in his body as he nods. “Yes.”

    ---

    Increasingly desperate, Wei Wuxian turns to unconventional means to help the Wens. If one can call trading away a year of his life to live in a secluded estate with a mountain spirit 'unconventional'. Or, the 'east of the sun, west of the moon' one.

    Summary

    With an almost trance-like detachment, Wei Wuxian touched his own neck, his fingers skimming over the fresh mark. The bite wound had stopped bleeding, although he had no doubts it would open again if agitated.

    Bonded.

    He was bonded for life.

    "Shit," he whispered. He looked over at the sleeping form of Lan Wangji—the Second Prince of Gusu and, until his brother was found, the sole heir to the throne. "Oh, shit. Lan Qiren is going to kill me."

    ----------

    Lan Wangji goes into a fevered rut and accidentally bonds with Wei Wuxian. When they next meet, he remembers none of it, and Wei Wuxian is determined to keep the bond a secret—even when he's sent to the Cloud Recesses to be a consort in Lan Wangji's harem.

    (tl;dr concubine!wwx is already married to emperor!lwj, who has no idea. drama ensues.)
