    Summary

    "Aren't you going to arrest me, too?" Wei Wuxian asked as he followed Lan Wangji, irritation bleeding into his voice and scent.
    "I have never wanted you in Gusu by force," Lan Wangji said, still walking away. "My home will not have you as a captive."
    "It will have the Wen, though?"
    Lan Wangji paused for a moment before walking, faster this time.
    "For their protection," he answered. "Yes."

    Three days after Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian walk around Yiling, Lan Wangji comes to arrest the Wen into Lan custody.

    Alpha Wei Wuxian gets mad. And then he gets omega about it.

    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar. 

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.

    Summary

    "Pop some bread in the toaster for me?” Wei Ying asks. Lan Zhan has one, a chrome thing with dials and buttons.

    A pause. “This isn’t a relationship,” Lan Zhan says.

    Wei Ying blinks. It’s such an incongruous thing to say. At first his brain says, that must be code. It’s almost like listening to two spies talk in a drama. The handler would say something like ‘the duck swims at midnight,’ and the spy would say, ‘purple is the loveliest colour’ and they’d both nod to each other and know that the prime minister was about to be assassinated, or something. That’s all he can think of, at first. Because of course this isn’t a relationship? This was a fun night. So Lan Zhan must be saying this for a reason. There’s some response he’s supposed to make now, but he’s lost the script if he ever had it.

    “Okay…” he says. Then it clicks. Lan Zhan means: you should leave.

    ---
    Maybe Wei Ying shouldn't have hooked up with his hot neighbour two days into his exchange semester, but everyone makes choices in life.

    Summary

    Our tale begins with Xie Lian hiring an escort to help him deal with an “unspeakable affliction” after a disastrous breakup forced him to leave college and return to his hometown.

    Hua Cheng (or Wuming, as he is called when we first meet him) isn’t really interested in helping people—he just wants to get paid. If the situation with a client seems too complicated to deal with, he has no problem walking away. But for some reason he can’t explain, he feels compelled to help Xie Lian.

    The two find themselves very quickly drawn to one another, but nothing in life is easy, especially when it comes to love.

    Xie Lian is struggling to forget about the demise of the relationship that ruined his life—a struggle complicated by the fact that his ex may or may not be stalking him.

    Meanwhile, Hua Cheng is busy running from a past that will soon catch up to him with deadly consequences.

    Summary

    A moment later, there was a short rustling before it went quiet.

    Hua Cheng's demeanor was more upsetting than the rustling leaves. The sound could have come from anything, but Hua Cheng had a very blank expression on his face. The oppressive weight that Xie Lian had so briefly felt began to creep over the forest floor. It rose up like water, wading up their knees, torsos, and up to their heads.

    Xie Lian stepped toward Hua Cheng, reaching out a hand to touch his arm. For some reason, he felt like he had to stop him from going after that feeling, or maybe it was an urge to keep him nearby.

    When Xie Lian’s fingers touched the skin of Hua Cheng's wrist, he turned to look down at him. His eyes most certainly were red.

    _____

    Xie Lian is a prince of a city whose people are being tormented by an unknown, unseen beast. Seeking new lands to run to, Xie Lian begins a small village in the woods, hoping to prepare to move his people away from the dreaded forest outside of their walls. There, he meets Hua Cheng, who seems just a little off from human.

    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

    Summary

    "I don't want to really date anyone. It's so stupid, I just need to pretend date someone until Jiang Cheng gets his act together, then go back to my own life." He stares at his empty coffee cup.

    "Date me," Lan Zhan says. Then he looks at Wei Ying's empty cup. "Would you like another cup of coffee?"

    "Always," Wei Ying says automatically. "But wait, what."

    "I'll get you another cup." Lan Zhan rises smoothly from the table.

    "No, wait, hang on." Wei Ying grabs his wrist before he can take the cup and Lan Zhan freezes up, staring down at where Wei Ying is hanging on to him. "Fuck, sorry, I'll—" Wei Ying hastily lets go of his wrist. "Sorry, I—what did you mean?"

    "I can pretend to date you," Lan Zhan says. "You take it with cream and sugar, correct?"

    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

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    “Drink,” his smooth voice orders, completely level and collected.

    No room for argument left so Wei Wuxian dips his chin and wraps his fingers around the shotglass, still wet from having just been washed.
    Those eyes watch his every move, but Wei Wuxian futilely hopes he can’t tell how his fingers tremble, or how he misses some of the vodka so it dribbles down his chin and stains his black top.

    [Wei Wuxian is dared by his friends to hit on older businessman Lan Wangji at the hotel bar.]

    Summary

    A while passes before Lan Qiren allows him to rise from his bow of repentance. The whorls in the wooden floor are his childhood friends, punishment upon punishment served in their company. They try their best to soothe the churning in his gut.

    “You have been bestowed an honour like no other. You are the chosen disciple.” Lan Qiren retrieves something from behind his desk and passes it to him. Heavy and cold, Lan Wangji grips the object with both hands, and then startles when he sees that he has been handed a sword. A disciple is not permitted to wield weapons, even the tools they work with must always remain blunt and dull. And yet here he is holding a sword, heavy with spiritual power.

    “The fate of the Cloud Recesses lies on your shoulders. Let the heavens down and eternal damnation shall await you.”

    ———

    The Cloud Recesses is a place of silence and virtue, of righteous victory and truth.

    But something ancient and indestructible lurks just beyond these four noiseless marble walls. A force so evil it cannot be named. And it threatens to destroy everything Lan Wangji knows, everything he believes to be right and true.

    Summary

    "I’m Wei Ying, nice to meet you.”

    Lan Zhan stares at the hand being offered, brain still trying to process the hurricane of a person in front of him.

    “Lan Zhan,” he replies, and shakes the hand once, politely. “Is this your seat?”

    or, sometimes a chance meeting on a train and twenty four hours together are enough for two people to fall in love.

    Summary

    When Xie Lian wished for some thrilling action on his birthday, he never imagined becoming a captive during a bank robbery.

    “We'll take him with us,” the smiling masked burglar in red declared, yanking Xie Lian from his hiding spot under the table.

    “You said no hostages!” the third party, dressed entirely in black with the same mask barked. “The cops will find us faster this way!”

     

    The red-hooded man didn't say a word, pressing a gun into Xie Lian's side, forcing him to comply. Xie Lian remained silent, the sound of Shi Qingxuan's sobs echoing in his ears.

    He can't bring himself to believe that this this his end...

    ~~~

    Through his 29 years and 364-ish days of living, Xie Lian has been plagued by bad luck and has been living the same monotonous day repeatedly, facing the same people and rhythm. His thirtieth birthday is no different—until that day the bank he works at someone decided to rob and to add to his misfortune he's been chosen to be taken as a hostage. He's mute, he can't bring his voice out! Why would they even take him?

    ~~~

    An Au where Xie Lian falls in love with Hua Cheng. The criminal who took him as a hostage and doesn't mind being so.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan nods as the boat nears the dock and the figure becomes clearer. It's a young man with dark hair down to his shoulders and a wide smile. He is also Asian, and as he turns his gaze to Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan finds himself robbed of breath for the second time that day. The young man is beautiful. He could, Lan Zhan thinks, be Lan Zhan's age, possibly a bit younger. He's tan, wearing a bright pink shirt with the restaurant logo on it, and cargo shorts. He has a small mole under his lower lip. "Hey, guys!" he greets with a wave. "Need a hand?"

    "Yes, please, if you don't mind," Lan Huan shouts back. He gets up and begins the preparations for docking, handing the young man several ropes. "Thank you, Wei Ying."

    Wei Ying. That's the boy's name.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan doesn’t think about him anymore.

    The days when he would obsess over every tiny work Wei Ying appeared in are long gone. His days of buying every magazine he was in, of taping his interviews and watching them over and over again just to get a piece of the real him, they’re all over. Lan Zhan doesn’t follow every project Wei Ying is a part of anymore, doesn’t try to find out if Wei Ying ever mentioned him anywhere, and doesn’t keep the TV on just in case he hears Wei Ying’s voice in a new commercial.

    He has weeks, and even months, when Wei Ying doesn’t even cross his mind at all. And when he does, it is only with a faded kind of fondness, a simmering affection to the memories they shared together.

    He’s happy for the things Wei Ying achieved. There is almost no hurt at all, almost no pain. And almost must be just as good as none.

    -

    Lan Zhan's world is turned upside down when his High School love, famous actor Wei Wuxian, comes back to their hometown after 13 years.

    Summary

    Xie Lian’s eyes flicked halfway up the length of San Lang’s body, sitting rather stiffly on the sofa. He looked kind of awkward, to be honest. Then again, awkwardness was probably a bit of a given when you were sex-coaching the flatmate you’d only known for two weeks.

    -

    Or: Jun Wu has dumped Xie Lian for being bad in bed. Desperate to get him back, Xie Lian asks his new flatmate to be his sex-coach. His new flatmate surprisingly says yes.
