    Summary

    The Gods said mortals spoke too freely.

    Promises were cheap. Oaths were broken. Words were flung like stones and forgotten just as easily. There should be balance, they decided. A limit. Not across a lifetime since that would be cruel, but per day. A measured allotment of words, returned with the sun.

    Enough to live. Enough to love, if used wisely.

    What if it isn't?

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is certain something is wrong.
    Lan Wangji disappears without a word, and no one will tell him why.

    In his search, Wei Wuxian finds a hidden meadow full of rabbits—and one quiet, white creature with golden eyes that reminds him far too much of the person he misses.

    So he talks.
    And the rabbit listens.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji is an immortal cultivator and a widower, once husband to the renowned Yiling Laozhu.

    He’s not opposed to collecting trinkets from various museums around the world. What right did they have to his husband’s belongings anyway?

    Wei Ying (his current reincarnation, not that he’s aware of it) is the Detective in charge of the case.

    Summary

    "It's not that bad," Wei Wuxian tried to laugh. "Really Lan Zhan, did you see the other guy?"

    "Mn," Lan Wangji said, and took off his outer coat—honestly, it might as well be a robe at this point—and pressed it into Wei Wuxian's hands. "Tie this around the wound."

    "'M gonna get it dirty," Wei Wuxian mumbled, already seeing the red soak into the white. It really isn't fair, his fingers tainting every nice thing it touch. "Ah, but Lan Zhan, wasn't I good? I called you, like I said I would."

    "En," Lan Wangji said. He brushed a stray hair off of Wei Wuxian's cheek. "Wei Ying is good."
    --
    Wei Wuxian calls Lan Wangji for help after an accident.

    Summary

    He’s a single man in a new country, trying to adopt a child. He doesn’t have time for crushes.

    But Lan Zhan is… Lan Zhan. Untouchable. Impossibly calm. Possibly carved from some secret mountain monastery stone. Wei Ying likes his voice. Likes his quiet. But he doesn’t let himself like it too much. Still, something shifts. Slowly. Like sunlight creeping through drawn curtains.

    Lan Zhan watches Wei Ying like someone documenting how he fits into the spaces he finds himself in, and Wei Ying starts to wonder what it means to stop surviving and start choosing.

    Summary

    In an alternate world where everyone’s cultivation is influenced by the elements, every cultivation disciple falls into one of five affinities: water, fire, earth, metal, and wood.

    Except, Wei Wuxian is not a cultivation disciple. He is an impoverished orphan-turned-healer on the outskirts of Yunmeng, healing people in ways no one has ever seen. He doesn’t have a traditional affinity; instead, he has a power that has not been encountered or spoken of in centuries…and it has the ability to change the tide of the oncoming war, or bring the entire cultivation world to its knees.

    The problem is, Wei Wuxian does not want to bring the cultivation world to its knees, or be any figure of renown. He simply wants to heal people, reconnect with those he considers his family, and make a dour looking young man from Gusu smile.

    Of course, the world does not care what Wei Wuxian wants, and he has to learn the hard way that others may not think his good intentions matter.

    Summary

    It starts with a bet. All mistakes, Wei Wuxian thinks, start with a bet.

    It’s starts with a bet and ends with Wei Wuxian losing everything.

    Nine years ago, Wei Wuxian made a bet with disastrous consequences. Now, he is part-owner of the popular and eclectic Yiling Cafe, years and miles away from his old life, making the best of things and trying to leave the past where it belongs. When Lan Wangji walks into his cafe by accident, Wei Wuxian finds himself doing what he thought he'd never do again; reclaiming some small part of his past, and hoping for a future he'd given up as lost.

    Summary

    University student Nie Huaisang, who prefers his American name Ned Sang, is one thesis project away from an MFA in Fine Arts at Columbia. Then he finds out exactly why the ancient Chinese brush techniques he’s been learning this semester are so easy. If only he’d remembered just a bit sooner, he might not have unconsciously copied a painting from a Qing Dynasty book written by . . . Nie Huaisang.

    Meanwhile, beneath Grand Central Station, something has been gathering the resentment created by the New York Transit subway system. Lan Zhan and Wei Ying, who always reincarnate with Huaisang, probably could suppress it, but both of them have disappeared. It will not be the first time that Nie Huaisang has tried to save them. But maybe this time he’ll actually be successful.

    Summary

    This is a translation of Ханьлун by Alexandra Kreuz. Now includes the second EXTRA chapter!

    Modern China AU.
    Wei Wuxian's morning started not with a cup of coffee, but with a forced business trip to the outskirts of China to deal with a strange influx of walking dead.
    That alone would have been fine, if his case partner wasn't that cold fish Lan Wangji. Yes, the same boring stick-in-the-mud Lan Zhan, with whom he has had an uneasy relationship when they studied together at the Cultivation Academy and whom he hadn't seen for more then five years...

    Notes:
    Hand-wavy geography, do not try to compare with the real map :)
    Mind that slow-burn tag, the fic is marked "explicit" for later chapters.

    This wonderful story is NOT MINE, I've just humbly translated it with the author’s permission.
    Thank you Alexandra_Kreuz for letting me do it!

    It is a long story and I dislike excessive tagging, so I will use chapter warnings when relevant.

    He had thought it a love thing.
    Turned out to be a sex thing.

    Nine years later finds them as,
    Hanguang Jun, widower, father of 8-year old Sizhui.
    Sizhui, who has taken quite a liking to his new teacher, the venerable Yiling Laozu.
    And Yiling Laozu, who realizes that the parent sending complaint letters about him to the school headmaster is none other than his old med school flame.

    You know, typical Wangxian.

    Portions of the above summary have been submitted by several lovely readers.
