    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).

    Summary

    Lan Jingyi started writing letters to a stranger as a joke. A gag. Something to fill the silence of a home where love was a foreign language.

    He didn't expect a reply.

    He certainly didn't expect the replies to become his lifeline---brief, restrained, and achingly beautiful. His penpal never asks his age. Never asks his name. Never asks if he's safe. But he writes back, and for a lonely boy standing in the rain, that's enough.

    Years later, Jingyi discovers his penpal is Hanguang-jun. Lan Wangji. The man who walks past him every day without a glance. The man who is too busy grieving a ghost to see the living child right in front of him.

    Jingyi doesn't tell him. He can't. Instead, he stands guard in the rain. He makes salves for scars Lan Wangji doesn't know he's tending. He protects secrets. He tends the Gentian House, where another Lan once died of a broken heart, surrounded by flowers that didn't care.

    He loves Lan Wangji the only way he knows how: silently, secretly, hopelessly.

    And Lan Wangji never looks up.

    A story about the cost of restraint, the weight of invisible love, and what happens when the person holding your heart doesn't even know they're holding it.

    Summary

    Wei Ying lived a wonderful life within his adoptive family. Uncle Q, though strict at times, did his best to raise him as his late mother wanted. Lan Huan, his older brother, often bragged about his genius. And Lan Zhan-- Well, up until high school, Lan Zhan had been his best friend in the world.

    Wei Ying has no idea where the rift between them started, but he knows where it ended them. An eavesdropped conversation his senior year of high school. Lan Zhan wanted space, and Wei Ying gave it to him-- transferring to Yunmeng University at the last moment.

    Coming home after a year, Wei Ying expected things to be awkward. What he didn't expect was the odd behavior from the boy that so desperately wanted him gone. Wei Ying had given him everything he wanted, so why does Lan Zhan look so sad?

    Summary

    "Lan Wangji wishes he had the power to stop looking at him and walk back to his seat. It would be nice to have even a little self respect where Wei Ying was concerned. But he stands there [...] helpless and enthralled before Wei Ying even picks up the mic."

    Lan Zhan did not want to be at the club that night.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji doesn't have any other options when he wraps his Lan sect ribbon around Wei Ying's wrist to save him, but as he prepares for their resulting marriage he realizes that he does have a choice in how he treats Wei Ying and whether he puts in the effort to make their relationship succeed.

    or

    “You think I’m tedious,” Lan Zhan said.
    “Well, you are a little,” Wei Ying muttered. “Sometimes. But you’re also very smart. Aiya, don’t hold that against me!”
    “You don’t want to be married to me!” Lan Zhan exclaimed.
    Wei Ying stared at him. “You don’t want… to be married to me either, I thought.” he said, confused. “I didn’t think you did anyway. You don’t like me at all! You’re always trying to avoid me and scowling at me! Why are you upset?”
    Lan Wangji didn’t know why he was upset. He glared at Wei Ying and turned away, walking faster than was appropriate to the kitchens.

    Summary

    “I’m not worried about my disciples’ objections,” Nie Mingjue assured him. “Any difficulties I had when I succeeded my father has long been dealt with. Nobody who lives in the Unclean Realm would dare to object. Nobody except the one person who would be most directly concerned with that marriage.”
    The disapproval radiating from Lan Qiren’s expression only worsened.
    “Does your brother have any reasons to object to an engagement with my nephew?”

    Summary

    It takes longer than it usually would for Wei Wuxian to catch on; the waiter’s mortified, flushed face, the couple with their hands under each other’s robes. The unusual warmth in his belly he has thus far, this evening, chalked up to his feelings for Lan Wangji.

    “Oh!” Wei Wuxian says when the realization strikes him. It hits him so strangely that he hears himself laugh, even though the situation isn’t funny. Maybe it will be, someday. But tonight, he — oh.

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji get served the wrong pot of tea.

    Summary

    With a small change, Wei Wuxian has a chance to reconsider his stance. That change leads to others. The most important words you can say, after all, are thank you, and I am sorry.

    It is better to say them earlier, than later through tears.

    Summary

    Wangji cast his gaze around the class, taking note of who was still there and how they had changed from the xiǎo tùzǐ that he had once taught.
    Oh yes, he remembered the stress, the uncertainty that plagued him before he had become a junior disciple. More so, since he was the son of the Sect Leader, and he had far more expectations on him than that of his year mates. Xichen-ge hadn’t mentioned the same troubles, but he remembered when Huan-gege was studying for the senior disciple exams.
    On rest, recuperation and remembrance of a legacy that shouldn't be forgotten.
    And breaking the rules. Just a little.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji comes to Yunmeng two months after deflowering Wei Wuxian on Phoenix Mountain. It's the perfect chance for Wei Wuxian to enact his revenge on Hanguang-jun—if he can get his body to cooperate!

    On that jade-like face, those thin lips were pursed, and the curve of Lan Wangji’s slender brows were almost aggrieved—bordering on bullied. It was a good look. Gripped with a burning curiosity, Wei Wuxian wanted to see how far he could go, until that expression matched the one that he hadn’t gotten to see while Lan Wangji had plundered him.
