    Summary

    Twentieth birthdays were special to the Avgin, and Aventurine is no exception. He may be the only one left, but that doesn't mean he's about to abandon his people's culture and ancient rituals. His journey is simple, return to Sigonia IV, find the old Avgin ritual site in the harshest desert on the planet, and complete the ritual on the night of Kakava.

    But going into the desert alone is dangerous, and while Aventurine is fully confident he can handle it just fine, someone else is not so sure- and Aventurine can never turn Ratio down.

    So it seems he isn't going alone.

    Surely absolutely nothing good could come from dragging his crush through the Sigonian wastelands to partake in ancient Avgin traditions, right?

    Summary

    “Ah.” Digging his fingers into the soft material of Lan Zhan’s spare lounge clothes for comfort, he giggles awkwardly, taking a step towards the bathroom. “Don’t worry, I was just joking with—"

    It’s so entirely uncharacteristic, that he’s stunned into silence when Lan Zhan cuts him off mid-sentence, telling him, “You are never an imposition.”

    Wei Ying’s anxious gaze snaps up, his heart twisting. Lan Zhan’s brow is furrowed; and the disapproval, combined with the burning intensity he finds there, have his mouth suddenly running dry.

    His tongue is heavy. “That’s not really true, Lan Zhan. I can think of many examples—”

    Lan Zhan’s eyes flash. “Never to me.” There’s something about the way he says that, a particular finality, which has Wei Ying nervously catching his bottom lip between his teeth, gnawing at it tentatively.

    Not breaking away from Lan Zhan’s heavy stare, he exhales unsteadily. “Sure,” his voice is rougher than usual. “Whatever you say, er-gege.”

    aka. madam yu is a genuinely horrific person and parent, and wei ying is falling apart — thankfully, lan zhan is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    He had all but forgotten about his Twitter exchange with @Wangji when he returned to his hotel room – sober this time – ready to call it an early night. His phone buzzed as he was moisturizing his face, and he grabbed it quickly off the counter when he saw who the message was from.

    @Wangji: Thank you for that information – I will definitely be reaching out to Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan. I appreciate your help, and thank you for the kind words as well. Socializing, online or otherwise, has never been my strong suit.

    Wei Ying breathes a little sigh of relief that he hadn’t been too much of a jackass, and then nearly chokes on his own breath as he keeps reading.

    @Wangji: Nice to meet you, Wei Ying. I’m Lan Zhan, he/him. And If I were to create an allegory for my own relationship to heterosexuality, I’d say I am about as straight as Leslie Cheung’s hoop earring in Happy Together.

    Gah, the whiplash! The switch from dry information sharing to cheeky queer banter hits Wei Ying like a ton of bricks. Intelligent bricks, thoughtful bricks making a reference to Wei Ying’s favorite film of all time. What is happening?
