    Summary

    A few fics set in an alternate universe where King Cole died without being able to turn Zantine into a ruthless empire, which allowed Snow and Rose to have pretty normal lives with pretty normal problems, like being bad with kids, destroying supermarkets, going on a disastrous road trip with your Dad, and meeting your future wife while she's trying to get out of a shitty escape room.

    Summary

    Then Jiang Cheng brings both blades around, two sword glares flashing, and—oh. Wei Wuxian knows the second sword’s red and silver glare better than any other. His brother is wielding Suibian, the first and last sword that had ever belonged to Wei Wuxian.
     
    Jiang Cheng and the Jin sect took away different treasures after Wei Wuxian's death. When Wei Wuxian comes back from the dead, his brother has some theories, some feelings, and two swords strapped across his back. Now Wei Wuxian must solve a Chenqing-charged mystery while surviving a passive-aggressive custody battle between Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji.

    Summary

    Not nearly enough attention has been given to the traumas and heartbreaks and wounds the Rose Reds endured during the war– and more than that, to their victories since, their fight to break through the programming that was forced on them to become people, and the way they still fight, every day, to come to terms with what they experienced and live the rest of their lives as free individuals... these are just a handful of the stories of what Rose Reds across the galaxy have experienced.

    An in-universe nonfiction book published nearly ten years after the war, discussing what happened to the Rose Reds after the rebels won.

    Summary

    As children, Shi Qingxuan, Xie Lian, and Hong were friends, but then they split up when two of them move away.
    Xie Lian, in his new town, makes friends with Mu Qing and Feng Xin. Together, they deal not only with Mu Qing angsting out about his mother dating their maths teacher, but also with Feng Xin becoming a father at age fourteen.
    Hua Cheng makes friends with an emo theater kid, and finds that maybe, the guy is even worthy of knowing about Xie Lian.
    Shi Qingxuan fights tooth and nail for her brother to come to accept her as his little sister, and, strangely enough, finds her biggest support in Pei Ming. She hates that.
    And, one day, the three of them are certain to meet again.
