Summary
"Oh, you can call me Alphonse," the armored man said, moving a little further into the room. There were footsteps rapidly fading down the hallway behind him, which he didn’t seem inclined to pay any mind to, attention apparently fixed on the mostly-finished circle she’d chalked on the floor. "Is this a Trismegistus array?"
Al teaches a little alchemy.

Bookmarker's Notes
this is very sweet and feels like … one of those manga mini-stories at the end of a volume where there's a bunch of pages left over and the mangaka whips up something short and sweet to fill them out. Has no impact on the actual story, completely unrelated to the chapters in the volume, just a fun lil mini-story. This has the vibe like it could be one of those.

The Untamed crew as first responders! Loose fusion with the show 9-1-1, but you don’t need to be familiar with it to read the fic.

Summary
Wei Wuxian barely makes a sound when Jin Zixun’s sword goes through his chest. A tiny noise is punched out of him — half gasp, half sigh. Jin Zixun, wearing that smirk that Lan Wangji has always hated, moves to pull the sword out.
This won’t do; Lan Wangji knows enough about battlefield medicine to understand the principle of keeping the weapon in the wound until a medic arrives. So he does the only thing that occurs to him in the moment, letting the momentum of flight be the force behind the swing; he cuts off Jin Zixun’s hand.

Lan Wangji goes with Wei Wuxian to his nephew's one-month celebration instead of Wen Ning. They still don't make it to the party.

Summary
Wei Wuxian’s jaw dropped. “You’re Hanguang-jun? The – no way. Everyone is always talking about how he’s like, the paragon Jedi…”
Lan Wangji shrugged and said nothing. He had been, once, or at least something close enough for people to mistake it.
“What happened? What in the world could have made someone like you Fall? Or, uh, who, I guess, if it was a person?”
You, Lan Wangji thought helplessly, and the Dark Side pressed down on his chest, relishing his pain. You and me, in another world, in a vision of the future that I will never allow to come to pass –

Bookmarker's Notes
It is a CRIME that I didn't bookmark this before. Lan Wangji and the extremely excitable people he is (unfortunately, in Xue Yang's case) fond of
