    Summary

    Mò - None / Nothing / Nobody
    Mó - Devil

    What happens when a nobody in the cultivation world decides he's gonna be the bad guy everyone thinks he is anyway?

    [A person is never wholly good or bad, all of us know that. But if the colours the world paints them in make them a devil, there’s nothing much else to be done about it. They could bear the slander and die in shame. Or they could pick up the stick society handed to them and take revenge.
    Not in blood and bones necessarily, no. But one can have the last laugh.
    There’s so many devils in this world. What’s one more?]

    Summary

    He’s lost track of how long he’s been stuck here, in this limbo, surrounded by resentful energy. He’s tried walking away, tried running, crawling, tried fighting, but now he’s tired. The Heart will welcome him into the fold, but a memory of a half-forgotten song loops through his head on repeat, a small grass butterfly hides in his robes, the taste of ozone is thick upon his tongue and a blue string around his wrist leads off into the distance.
    The Heart can’t have him.
    He belongs to someone else

    Summary

    There’s a grave at the heart of the cemetery that’s covered in gentians. And there’s a man, steady and serious and lonelier than he would care to admit, who visits that grave every weekend without fail.

    Lan Wangji is a filial son. But it’s more than just duty that brings him to the cemetery week after week. He never feels closer to his mother than when he’s tending the gentians.

    [Lan Wangji tends the flowers at his mother's grave every weekend, until he can't. Wei Wuxian is a groundskeeper working at the cemetery.]

    Summary

    When the whip came down the twenty-third time there was no impact. No hissing of flaying flesh. No blood seeping into white robes.

    The only thing that could be heard was a high, deafening wail and the drip, drip, drip of silver tears.

    Summary

    Working on his masters in robotics and AI, Wei Ying is very familiar with experiments that go unpredictably pear-shaped. There are only so many times you can accidently crash the entire university grid or retrofit eerily opinionated AI personalities into your professors’ equipment before people get cranky. So, he’s taken his next hypothesis home: given an adaptable programing style and enough time (and boredom), ordinary household appliances can become weapons of destruction.

    To be fair, he didn’t plan to break anything.

    This is how Wei Ying meets his neighbor. Or rather, this is how Wei Ying’s Roomba introduces him to the hottest man alive (and his two adorable bunnies).
