    Summary

    Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.

    He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.

    Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.

    -

    Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.

    Summary

    During the Mount Dafan hunt, in the year of the 438th Cultivation Competition, Lan Wangji sees a new-old competitor.

     

    "Have we met?" asks Lan Wangji.

    "I'd hope you would remember me if we'd met." The other cultivator looks at him with a bland kind of smile that Lan Wangji has never seen from Wei Ying. Wei Ying could not be bland at anything. And that's not his voice. And yet, it is. It's deeper, like there is grit dusted in, but the inflection, the light hang of humour, that's Wei Ying's.

    Lan Wangji blinks. It feels like he's having a hallucination; if he squints, he can see Wei Ying superimposed on this young man and then he blinks again, and he is gone. There's a pressure in his chest, as if someone just inflated a balloon inside of him and plastered all of his organs to the underside of his ribs.

    Summary

    Wangji stays on the piano bench as they’re closing up. Wei Ying chews his lip, knowing what he’s going to do but horrified at himself. But what’s the alternative: kick the guy out and find him sleeping beside the dumpster in the morning? And that’s if the cops don’t take him in for vagrancy.

    “Wangji?”

    Wangji looks up.

    Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?”

    Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes.

    “Great!”

     

    Fuck.

     

    Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji has never been good with words, or at writing. But, if it'll allow him to imagine a world where Wei Wuxian could actually love him back, he supposes it couldn't hurt to try.

    (Or, the one where Lan Wangji copes with his Feelings by writing self-insert fics.)
