    Summary

    “I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”

     

    Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.

     

    “Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”

     

    ___

    Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.

    Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

    Summary

    “You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”

    “Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.

    Wei Ying frowned at him. “That can’t be right.”

    Summary

    Heart pounding in his ears, he took the first step into the chilly water. His boot, not waterproof, instantly soaked through. Another step in and he was already chilled to the bone. He chanced a glance back towards the house, and his heart stuttered when he saw the distant glow of what looked like a fire. Smoke lighter than the blackness of the sky was rising steadily into the air. Something was burning.

    His heart jolted and he stuttered a couple more steps forward. Water sloshed around his ankles now, and waves pushed up to his knees. The water was frigid.

    It was now or never. He waded out until he was chest deep, felt the constricting pinch of cold water as his bare arms dipped in, and then he began to swim.

    -

    Cut off from his family, his friends, and his home, Wei Ying vows to do everything he can to help save the trapped citizens of Qishan from their dictator president. With his childhood imagination and a radio, he communicates through the stories of a rogue cultivator trying to take down the evil Chief Cultivator and his fierce corpses.

    Summary

    “Should we talk about what just happened?” Baird asked, voice very low.

    “Talk about how an eleven-year-old child opened a doorway to divine power?” said Myles. “Or talk about how that child did so to save the prince from an unnatural disease sent to disable the line of succession? Or talk about how that child is likely now a prime target for whoever sent it?”

    “We could talk about how we’re not referring to that child as a boy, right now,” offered Baird, and Myles took a sharp breath.

    "For that child’s sake, we should talk about none of this.”

    Summary

    Lan Wangji could not hope to find any other person like this, at least not so far from their home. But wu speak to birds and beasts across the realm. He may be known to them. He may be recognized, somewhere. The ravens and the hawks hear the name and cry it to the skies; the mouse and the fox both carry it with them through snow-washed fields. Below ground the beetles gnaw it into roots and bark. Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian.

    OR: Tasked with finding the Yunmeng Jiang's missing wu, a young man called Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji recruits a familiar and travels across the land in search of him. His familiar, a black hare with a little too much personality, seems to have his own secrets.

    Summary

    "So it's a bet?" Jiang Cheng said. "Dance the showcase if you get him, fancy coffee machine if you don't?"

    Wei Wuxian considered the machine. "Fine. You're on. I want it in red."

    "Don't start planning your caffeine overdose yet."

    "It's in the bag," Wei Wuxian said cheerfully. "There's no way they'll match me with someone like Lan Wangji."

     
    Teaching Lan Wangji to dance in front of the nation for twelve weeks, how hard can that be? Wei Wuxian is about to find out.

    Summary

    Canon divergence starting from after the Xuanwu Cave. What if it wasn't Wang Lingjiao who came to Lotus Pier? What if Wen Ruohan had sent Wen Zhuliu instead? The respectful, sensible Wen Zhuliu, who knows how to work the room...

    In which Wei Wuxian loses his hand (he gets one better), Lotus Pier is saved, the Lan Clan is said to be dead to the last man, there's a horrible banquet in Nightless City, someone accidentally plays Sleeping Beauty, and there's that awkward moment when you realize Meng Yao is the sane one (except not really). It's a dark, dark night, but the sun will rise eventually.

    Summary

    It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.

    “Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”

    “It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

    Summary

    This is a moment, right? Like, they're sharing a moment? Yuan is going to lose his shit soon, because Hanguang Jun is staring as though he's trying to get a read on Wei Wuxian, and it's probably the longest they've held eye contact so far. Wei Wuxian's heart is swooping into the pit of his stomach. There's a warm flicker of embers melting the ice of those eyes, something bright and intense beneath the mystery.

    Either that, or he's playing the part reeeally well.

    "Mn," he says, quieter; his nod, punctuation in its simplicity. "With you by my side, we can cross mountains and the seas. We can overcome anything."

    Wei Wuxian is a foster dad and freelance artist. Once lost and still trying to find his way.
    Lan Wangji is an author – a master of all trades, jack of none. Following his foray into children’s literature and a circle group reading session at the bookstore, Wei Wuxian is helpless to do anything but find himself drawn indubitably into his orbit.
