    Summary

    Wangji’s heart stops.

    The next moment, Wangji experiences the distinct feeling of it breaking, shattering into thousands of shards. He is unable to stifle the pained breath that escapes him. He feels Xichen reach over and grip his arm in support.

    Because it is Wei Ying stepping into the grand hall. Wei Ying draped in gold jewelry and gauzy, nearly translucent red robes. Wei Ying, his neck scared and brutalized, telling a story of savagery.
    ---
    (Wangji finds Wei Ying in Wen Ruohan's court. Wei Ying claws his way out.)

    Summary

    In a world where magic is in decline, huli jing Wei Wuxian's sole goal is repaying debt his family owes the Jiangs. Something he’d failed at so far. At least this time he can blame the Emperor himself.
    Lan Tradition holds that Emperors cannot publicly appear until they’ve found their mate, so a kingdom wide search is held. And Wei Wuxian qualifies to be a candidate! Locked in the palace, Wei Wuxian must find a way to get kicked out before his one night with the Emperor. Something that would be easier if it wasn’t for the Captain of the Guard Lan Zhan foiling his every move.

    Summary

    "Now. Must I remediate basic survival instincts, as well? Stand up or get shot."

    Aventurine doesn't understand half of those words, but it doesn't matter. The gun speaks clearly enough.

    Kakavasha's riskiest gamble pays off, and he is hired by the Interastral Peace Corporation as Aventurine. A second chance at life, if he can survive it.

    Without a Synesthesia Beacon, every conversation is a puzzle, a bluff. The new Stoneheart has learned to fake fluency in the IPC's language, Universalis, the same way he learned everything else: through observation and context, by slipping through the cracks with charm and deception.

    That is, until Dr. Ratio cares enough to scrutinize him, and refuses to look away.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian had spent months planning, months reading and researching. He was supposed to be ready once his baby was ready to be born. He was going to slip off to some quite town and deliever it in secret, coming up with some excuse to explain it when he came back. No one was supposed to know, especially not the golden eyes he'd been avoiding for months.

    But his baby took after him, and had to make his entrance into the world at the worst time.

    Summary

    Hanguang-jun (32) has been fired from his job as Auror for the Ministry of Magic. Not deterred by this would-be end to a mediocre career at best, Lan Wangji has taken on a job as Hogwarts teacher for Care of Magical Creatures instead. Another brave choice in a series of brave choices by Headmaster Nie Mingjue, who has long been known for (…).

    “He wasn’t fired,” Nie Huaisang says.

    “Of course he wasn’t fired,” Wei Wuxian says confidently. “What would he get fired for? Lan Zhan is the best.”

    “Apparently,” Nie Huaisang says, leaning in and continuing in a dramatic whisper, “he quit."

    Summary

    When Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian wake up in each other's bodies one seemingly random day, they no longer have the luxury of continuing to misunderstand each other in an ongoing long-distance standoff, but must instead work together to figure out how to switch back - and the solution is simpler than they expect.

    --//--

    “What the fuck?” Wei Wuxian says out loud, and nearly jumps out of his skin at the deep, even timbre of what is definitely not his own voice.

    He sits up, sparing a single thought to marvel that he can do so completely unaided and with no discomfort at all, and spots an all-too-familiar blade resting lengthwise across the opening of the tent at his feet. Bichen sits innocently in a single thin beam of sunlight, and Wei Wuxian covers his — Lan Wangji’s? — his-for-now eyes with both hands.

    What the fuck is going on?!

    Summary

    "Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."

    The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."

    While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian died in that cave.

    At least everyone thought so, including him.

    Maybe he should have even stayed dead. That might have been easier than watching Lan Wangji, Hanguang-Jun, Lan Zhan, look at him with absolutely no recognition in his eyes.

    Having your spine ripped out by a giant turtle hurt. But being ignored by the person you gave your life for, the person you gave up everything for - that might actually be worse.

    “I had better take a second look at your language module first. This will all go much more smoothly once you can communicate properly.”

    “Yes, I understand, but if it’s operational, then why—”

    [MOTOR FUNCTION OFFLINE]

    A thoughtful pause, and then, “Ah. I see. Well, that seems a rather unintuitive design choice, if you ask me.”

    “You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”

    “Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.

    Wei Ying frowned at him. “That can’t be right.”

    Summary

    The first time Aventurine manages to drop off a half-melted custom .44 Magnum at their new technical director’s office, he’s almost surprised the indigo-haired man doesn’t even blink an eye.

    “In the ‘scrap’ bin, please,” Ratio says nonchalantly as he flicks through what is — presumably — a blueprint for his next project.

    Aventurine can’t help himself. “Aw, you made a bin just for me?”

    Aventurine may have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but hey, he's always fine in the end. The same can't be said for the gadgets his tech director gives him, though... and that may be a bit of a problem for Ratio.

    (Or, 5 times Aventurine fails to return Ratio’s equipment unscathed, and 1 time he doesn’t.)

    Summary

    Without fail, Ratio finds him after every project, at every bar and casino. He drags Aventurine back to his hotel or penthouse, plying him with water and food until Aventurine is almost eating three meals a day.

    Each night, Aventurine is lulled to sleep by Ratio’s irritated scolding, and every morning, he wakes to a tall glass of water and hangover pills on his nightstand, with breakfast pre-made and waiting in the fridge.

    One night, after Ratio leaves, Aventurine coughs. It must be allergies.

    Aventurine has Hanahaki.

    Summary

    Three sharp knocks punctuate the pitter-patter of the rain outside. Strange. Ratio isn’t expecting any deliveries or guests at this hour. He peers through the peephole and freezes.

    Three long years after his disappearance in Penacony, Aventurine stands at Ratio’s doorstep with a casual, lopsided grin.

    Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Unimaginable.

    Numb fingers open the door before caution can intervene. Aventurine, the eternal outlier, opens his mouth.
