    Summary

    The discipline whip doesn’t forget. Twice a year, when the seasons begin to change, the pain beneath Lan Wangji’s scars awakens.

    For years, Lan Wangji has borne it all with his signature stoicism. It is, after all, a reminder of the price he willingly paid to protect the one he loves most. But Wei Wuxian isn’t so accepting.

    Indeed the discipline whip’s legacy is perversely successful in this manner, for Lan Wangji can conceive of no greater punishment for Wei Wuxian than to render him helpless in the face of watching a loved one suffer. And no greater punishment for himself than to witness Wei Wuxian’s suffering over him.

    But no one, least of all a discipline whip, should underestimate Wei Wuxian’s willingness to go up against the impossible.

    Summary

    “Wei-qianbei!” The disciple explained in apparent relief upon seeing him. “Thank god I found you!”
    “You were looking for me?” Wei Wuxian perked up hopefully. Was it a night hunt they needed his particular expertise on? Or a message from Lan Zhan? A message from Lan Zhan about a nighthunt? He missed night hunting with Lan Zhan so much.
    “Zewu-jun sent me to bring you back to the Could Recesses,” The little Lan informed him solemnly.
    Wei Wuxian’s heart sank. “...Zewu-jun…? Sent you to bring me to the Cloud Recesses?” Not Lan Zhan. Not that he wouldn’t go at Lan Xichen’s request, but he had hoped… Well, he had hoped a lot of things. “Why?”
    “Hanguang-jun is dying.”

    ---

    Lan Wangji is suffering from a mysterious curse that is causing him to cough up flower petals and waste away. Wei Wuxian tries franticly to find a way to save him.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian presses his fingers against Lan Zhan's forehead, gently moving the ribbon, and sighs. "Lan Zhan, you have a fever."

    "I feel fine," Lan Zhan says, a blatant lie.

    Lan Wangji falls ill. Wei Wuxian worries.

    Summary

    “Lan Zhan, sweetheart,” Wei Ying says softly, stroking a hand atop the pile of blankets currently housing his best friend. “Come out. I’m gonna take your temperature.”

    There is a groan from within, but then the blanket mound shifts and Lan Zhan’s head emerges, hair spilling in knots across his face. Wei Ying has seen him drunk only once, and even then he had looked more put together than this.

    ;

    Every other time, it’s been Lan Zhan looking after Wei Ying. Now Lan Zhan needs some tender loving care of his own, and Wei Ying is helpless to do anything but offer it to him.

    Summary

    “Can you take off your clothes?” he asks impulsively.

    Lan Zhan’s eyes widen.

    “I mean! I mean that brand…can I touch it? I really want to touch it. I- fuck, that sounds even more-”

    “Yes,” says Lan Zhan and gets on the bed beside him, clearing some of the talismans carefully to make space. He undoes the robe, then takes off the undershirt. Then he sits there, expectant.

    Good god.

    In which Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji talk about the scars Lan Wangji got in those 16 years.

    Summary

    The weeks turns to months, and Wei Ying is still in Gusu.

    Wei Ying is still in Gusu, and Lan Wangji finds that every time he opens the Jingshi's doors at the end of the day, he expects Wei Ying to be there smiling at him and it's a terrible, terrible thing because he couldn't, shouldn't get used to it. Because surely, Wei Ying belongs to the freedom of the open road and not in a place with four thousand rules - Even if that place has Lan Wangji in it.

    Wei Wuxian learns to settle in the Cloud Recesses, and Lan Wangji learns to settle the worries in his heart.

    Summary

    On the joyous occasion of the second Lan heir's birth celebration, a terrible shadow falls when the Yiling Patriarch arrives, much displeased that he wasn't invited. 20 years later, Lan Wangji learns the terrible price he extracted, and knows that he has only three weeks of freedom left until he meets the man again.

    Deciding to use his remaining time to do whatever he pleases, he ends up meeting Wei Wuxian, who is handsome, protective, and harbours secrets of his own.

    *

    “Compensation,” the Yiling Patriarch echoes. “I like the sound of that. What will you give me? Gold? Jewels? Weapons?”

    “Name your prize,” Lan Qiren repeats.

    The Yiling Patriarch smiles again. He says, “Your nephew will do.”

    Summary

    Lan Wangji would give anything to save Wei Wuxian. Sacrificing his voice is only a small price. It's not until later that he realises he has sacrificed much more than that.

    Trapped in the Xuanwu cave with no hope for rescue, Lan Wangji makes a deal: his voice for Wei Wuxian's life. Two years later, after the war is won and Wei Wuxian has become the Yiling Patriarch, Lan Wangji must live with the consequences of his choices - even if that includes avoiding Wei Wuxian to keep him from finding out the truth.

    Summary

    (All oneshots in this series can be read independently)

    “I’ve been thinking more about the way San Lang bathes me recently and I want to do that for him too.”

    “Gege’s washed me before.”

    “It’s different. San Lang does it so gently.”

    “Gege is nothing but gentle with me.” The soft smile in his voice was an audible thing.

    “It’s different. When San Lang does it it’s like… I can feel his devotion.”

    “That’s because it is devotion, your highness. Everything I do for you is worship.”

    Xie Lian set his husband down, giving him a quick peck before moving to undress him. “I think I should worship San Lang for a change.”

    Summary

    “Sweetheart! I’m so so late, sorry, sorry, a thousand apologies! Aiya, how could I have made you wait like this! You would not believe the time I’ve had trying to get here!” As the stranger spoke, he smoothly made his way to Lan Zhan’s table and plopped down in the seat across from him. Lan Zhan had never seen him before in his life, and yet here he was, stowing his bag at his feet and looking every inch the penitent boyfriend. He briefly wondered if he had somehow crossed into a parallel universe, because what.

    Lan Zhan gets stood up. Somehow, he ends up with a boyfriend anyway.

    Summary

    Despite the crush of their reunion, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had never really fought. There had been disagreements, of course, or the occasional misunderstanding followed by heartfelt amends, but nothing like this.

    Sometimes it’s necessary to learn to say “thank you” and “I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    It hurt to breathe.

    The pain on Lan Wangi’s back was like lines of fire torn through his skin, raw flesh and nerves exposed to the cold air. They throbbed with every beat of his heart. Every time he moved his back, his chest, his arms, the pain lanced through him and made him feel as if he were going to collapse. He hadn’t slept in days — the pain was too intense for him to rest...

    -----------

    After Wei Wuxian's death, Lan Zhan struggles with the pain of his body and heart, and the prospect of facing his life alone. His brother tries to help.

    Summary

    When A'Yuan was young, with messy hair and Wei Ying hovering over his shoulder, he asked, “Rich-gege, what’s wrong with your leg?”

    And Wei Ying—who knew, of course, what was wrong—had made an embarrassed aht! noise and scolded A'Yuan, “Hey, little radish, that’s not nice, sticking your nose into strangers’ business—”

    Lan Wangji was at a time in his life where every broken rule felt painfully monumental, but still broke them anyway. What other choice did he have if he wanted to see Wei Ying but to go against the teachings he had grown up with?

    “Not a stranger,” he interrupted, his heart constricting for two beats, three.
