    Summary

    “You’ve got a fever,” Wei Wuxian says soothingly. “You just keep still as well as you can. We’ll have you fixed up soon.”

    Lan Sizhui recognizes his tone—this is the voice that Wei Wuxian uses on hurt people and young children, a very calm and no-nonsense voice that has none of the mischief and cheer of the way he sounds the rest of the time. Lan Sizhui looks up and meets his eyes, and they are dark, stormy gray, muddled and concerned.

    “I’m all right,” he croaks.

    “Hush,” Wei Wuxian says, in a low croon, like someone quieting a baby. Then he blinks, and looks away, awkward. “I mean—you shouldn’t speak. You’re tired. Rest if you need to.”

    —

    lan sizhui gets sick on a night hunt. wei wuxian comforts him. they both have a lot of feelings about it.

    Summary

    Flushing in embarrassment, Wei Ying hurries over to A-Yuan and crouches to place his hands on his shoulders. “A-Yuan, that’s enough,” he says. “Sorry, Lan Zhan, he used to go to a different bookstore where they host regular storytimes, I think he thinks you’re the designated storyteller for the day—”

    He gets to his feet, holding A-Yuan at his hip, and glances up to look at Lan Zhan. It’s an awful, terrible, horrible mistake. This close, every detail of his face is utterly inescapable.

    “Story time,” says A-Yuan, lower lip wobbling dangerously.

    Wei Ying glances around, finding people staring curiously at the scene unfolding before them. “A-Yuan,” he hisses urgently. “We need to go. I’ll tell you a story on the way home, okay?”

    “Do you really need to go?”

    Wei Ying starts at Lan Zhan’s voice. He’s still looking steadily at him, an unreadable expression in his eyes.

    (Seven years after running away from home to pursue a story that would expose one of the biggest media scandals in recent years, Wei Ying runs into the last person he’s expecting to see at a quaint, forgotten bookstore he hasn’t set foot in for a very long time.)

    Summary

    "By the Heavens, did you hear? The Yiling Patriarch has been invited to the Discussion Conference in Qinghe!"

    Gossip was, by far, the fastest way for information to spread.

    "What! Whose idea was that!?"

    It was not the most accurate or most reliable method, but people were people, and the tedium of daily life would always bore them.

    "I heard it was the Nie Sect leader's suggestion."

    ----------

    After thirteen years in the Burial Mounds, the Yiling Patriarch finally makes a public reappearance. Civilians are scared. Cultivators are outraged. Sect Leaders are concerned. Wei Wuxian has been too quiet, they say, and nobody knows what dark horrors the Burial Mounds may now contain.

    Wei Wuxian wouldn't quite call them dark horrors, but the description wasn't too far off.

    (tl;dr Wei Wuxian lives, raises a whole gaggle of demonic cultivator children, and the cultivation world panics.)

    Summary

    Lan Zhan isn't expecting a summer trip to Lotus Pier to change his quiet, predictable life; then he meets Wei Ying, the adopted son of his uncle’s best friend. Wei Ying is only eighteen, thirteen years younger than Lan Zhan, yet despite Lan Zhan’s best efforts to resist, their connection is undeniable. It’s impossible to fall in love with someone in two weeks—but Wei Ying isn’t like anyone Lan Zhan has met before. Things will never be the same after the summer ends.

    Someone else emerged from the water—a boy—pulling himself up onto the dock with both of his arms. He grinned and said something to the other two, but Lan Zhan couldn’t quite make it out; he was too distracted by flashes of bare, tanned shoulders, lean hips, and strong legs. The boy’s lips curved in a smile as he stood and shook the water from his ears. He looked to be around Jiang Cheng’s age, Lan Zhan guessed, not even twenty. He was beautiful, and Lan Zhan needed to stop staring, but instead his gaze drifted to the tattoo on his lower stomach, partially hidden by the waistband of his red swim trunks.

    “Hi,” said the boy in a warm, smooth voice, turning his smile on Lan Zhan. “You must be the famous Lan Zhan.”

    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.
