Summary
“You and Scott,” Ilya says. “What was the fight about?”
“Nothing serious. Just… shit-talking.”
But Ilya has insulted Hollander on that ice in every way known to man. He has never gotten that under Hollander’s skin, not in the way he wanted to.
He wanted to be the person Hollander got angry at. They were supposed to be the rivals. The two of them. Now tabloids were asking him about his rivalry with fucking Scott Hunter of all people.
-
Ilya gets jealous that Shane lost his temper at someone who wasn't him, so he edges Shane about it until he tells him what happened.

Summary
"What’s a girl to do on a lonely night in Montreal?"
Shane shouldn’t answer his text now. He wouldn’t. He had been strong enough to walk away on that rooftop, and he would be strong enough to do it now. He wasn’t mad anymore, but he wasn’t about to make the same mistake either.
-
Or, what could've happened between Shane and Ilya in those months where they "didn't hook up" before Shane's Montreal apartment. TV show canon.

Summary
His phone buzzes again, and Lan Zhan picks it up this time. To his surprise, it's a message from the Blood Bank.
The Blood Bank was a way for him to make money faster, beyond his usual teaching job, to help his mother. He tried not to think too much about the fact that there were random faceless vampires feasting on his blood.
Frowning to himself, Lan Zhan clicks the message.
"You have been selected as a special provider for a very prestigious client! The Yiling Laozu has chosen you to be a part of his regular collaborators!"
Lan Zhan raises an eyebrow when he sees the name.
Very few vampires are known amongst humans, because they keep well hidden, but Yiling Laozu is one of the most well-known ones.
-
Lan Zhan's blood gets the attention of a vampire who is well known to the entire world for his creations: Yiling Laozu. At the same time, a beautiful man he meets on a rooftop tries flirting with him, his aura strangely alluring.

Summary
“You’re in the hospital,” she says. “You were in a traffic accident, and–"
“No, I heard that. But–” Wei Ying glances at the extremely pretty man, who’s just staring at him, completely still. His empty hands hover in the air. “I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I just wanna go home."
“You are going home,” Yanli reaches over and tucks his hair behind his ear, giving him a tiny smile. “Don’t worry. Just a few more scans, and then Lan Zhan can take you back."
“Who’s Lan Zhan?” he asks.
The pretty man by his side inhales so sharply Wei Ying feels the air get sucked out of the room.
-
Wei Ying gets in a traffic accident and loses six years of his memories, including meeting and marrying the love of his life. This is the story of how he falls back in love with Lan Zhan: quickly, and inevitably.
Or, my take on one of my favorite tropes.

Summary
Lan Wangji’s eyes snap open. Right there, very faint, he can smell a hint of sweet liquor. He inhales again, and there it is. The distant spiciness in the air, mixed with the smell of earth. The scent of a very particular sort of sweat.
A scent he knows too well.
“Where is he?” Wei Ying’s voice pierces through the air. "Where's Lan Zhan?"
-
Lan Wangji gets cursed with eternal heat, a curse he can only break by being with the alpha who is his mate. The problem is, he isn't bonded to anyone.
His family tries to hide him away until they find a cure, but Wei Wuxian gets impatient, and decides to take matters into his own hands. -

Summary
Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.
He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.
Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.
-
Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.
(the "Didn't know they were dating" fic)

Summary
Lan Zhan doesn’t think about him anymore.
The days when he would obsess over every tiny work Wei Ying appeared in are long gone. His days of buying every magazine he was in, of taping his interviews and watching them over and over again just to get a piece of the real him, they’re all over. Lan Zhan doesn’t follow every project Wei Ying is a part of anymore, doesn’t try to find out if Wei Ying ever mentioned him anywhere, and doesn’t keep the TV on just in case he hears Wei Ying’s voice in a new commercial.
He has weeks, and even months, when Wei Ying doesn’t even cross his mind at all. And when he does, it is only with a faded kind of fondness, a simmering affection to the memories they shared together.
He’s happy for the things Wei Ying achieved. There is almost no hurt at all, almost no pain. And almost must be just as good as none.

Lan Zhan's world is turned upside down when his High School love, famous actor Wei Wuxian, comes back to their hometown after 13 years.

Summary
For Wei Ying's 17th birthday, his best friend Lan Zhan gives him a jar full of origami stars to decorate his room. Lan Zhan buys the colorful paper himself, cuts them in little stripes, and folds each tiny star carefully.
What Wei Ying doesn't know, is that Lan Zhan wrote a confession inside each of the stars.

Summary
But as Hanguang Jun approaches, Wei Ying loses the battle against his eyes, and allows himself to look just a little bit.
The man is gorgeous. There’s no other word for it. His face looks like it was perfectly sculpted by a talented artist, not to mention the definition of his body. The leggings he wears show the leg muscles of someone who has probably been doing some form of acrobatics ever since they were a kid, and his arms are huge under his t-shirt. Huge. He’s just as tall as Wei Ying is, but his fit body makes him look shorter, somehow. Wei Ying swallows again, wondering if he has ever seen anyone who looks more like the ideal of beauty in his life.
And then the man starts talking.
-
Fire Dancer Wei Ying joins the Circus, because he wants a more exciting job. He's forced to train with a handsome Trapeze Artist, who seems to hate him for no reason.
But Wei Ying isn't just here for the job. He's here to change his life! And that starts by making the inaccessible Lan Zhan like him, even if he has to annoy him into it.

Summary
Losing control… felt like a privilege. Like something just out of reach, even when Lan Zhan searched for it. It felt like an indulgence, and it scared him, how much he wanted to indulge. How much he craved it, dreamed about it, and still couldn’t quite make himself get there.
He needed someone to take it from him.
And someone had.
-
Ever since Lan Zhan became Wei Ying's sub, he feels like he's floating on air. He never thought he would have any kind of intimacy with Wei Ying, and even though they aren't romantically involved, Lan Zhan is more than satisfied with their current arrangement. This is certainly enough to make him happy.
Or, at least, that's what Lan Zhan forces himself to think.

Summary
Lan Zhan isn’t a curious man when it comes to other people's business, but if this person is gonna scream and ruin his quiet moment alone, he wants to see who it is.
He's almost turning back inside, tired of waiting, when the man in red raises his eyes and finds him.
For a second, he is frozen in place. The man catches him red handed, meeting his gaze head-on, and Lan Zhan feels his ears blushing despite his frustration. The man looks confused, and then intrigued. Lan Zhan thinks he will have no problem remembering him tomorrow. He has very… distinguishing features.
When the man’s face turns into a full grin, Lan Zhan turns around and goes back inside.

Lan Zhan meets an infuriating florist while he's working as the cook in a wedding. Wei Ying is loud, annoying and childish, and Lan Zhan can't wait for the time when this wedding is done so he never has to see him again. Surely, the world isn't so small that they would meet a second time.
Right?(or, the Cook/Florist AU)

Summary
Wei Ying does not have a crush on Lan Zhan anymore. Those feelings have been gone for a long time. He's over Lan Zhan. He is.
Deep down, he knows they'll never be compatible in a relationship. Even though Lan Zhan is gay. Even though Lan Zhan is also into BDSM. Because Lan Zhan is a Dom.And so is he.
-
or, Wei Ying makes some very wrong assumptions about Lan Zhan's preferences, finds out just how far from the truth he is, and immediately makes a plan to fix it.

Summary
“I’ll help,” Lan Wangji says.
“Hey, Lan Zhan...” Wei Wuxian unfolds his leg and gives his foot a playful kick. “I told you to think about it! This means I’d be here for a long time, taking up your time, your space, your peace. And I can’t pay you! I have nothing of worth to give. It isn’t as simple as-”
“I’ll do it,” he says again, more forcefully this time. “You don’t have to give me anything.”
Wei Wuxian looks away, hiding a small smile. Doesn’t he know Lan Wangji would do anything for him, by now? Doesn’t he understand that he holds Lan Wangji’s life in his hands?
-
Post-CQL Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses to ask for Lan Wangji's help with his new golden core.
Together, they learn how to communicate, how to ask for things, and how to touch each other.Their relationship develops in between quiet dinners in the Jingshi, meditation sessions, core training and a lot of Lan Juniors speculation on whether or not they're actually together yet.

Summary
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying have a bet to see who gets more arrests in the precinct. If Lan Zhan loses, he has to go on a date with him, and do all horrible stuff Wei Ying thinks he hates doing.
He's not gonna lose, though. He's two arrests ahead, and Wei Ying only has 10 minutes to go. This win is his.
And then Wei Ying comes out of the captain's office, looking smug, and Lan Zhan's heart drops.
Oh no.-
Brooklyn 99 fusion where Wei Ying is Peralta and Lan Zhan is Amy, in the episode where Amy loses the bet and they go on a fake date.

Summary
“What if we’re soulmates, Lan Zhan?” his voice is still hoarse from sleep. “What if it’s you and me?”
“It’s always you and me.” Lan Zhan says simply. “Things wouldn’t change.”
Wei Ying tries not to scream at how good those words feel. But Lan Zhan means something else, he means friendship, and that’s not what Wei Ying is asking. Because of course it would be a big change. Being soulmates would change everything.
He sighs, forcing himself not to curl into his best friend’s warm body, and tries again.
“I’m serious. What if I’m your soulmate? Would you… What would you do?”
His heart beats like a hummingbird’s wing inside his chest, the anticipation unbearable as Lan Zhan licks his lips and prepares for answering.
“If you’re my soulmate,” Lan Zhan pauses, thinking of his words carefully. “I will love you until the end of my days.”--
Soulmate AU where, once you're an adult, you start sharing your senses with your soulmate. It starts with only one sense, such as sight or hearing, but eventually, as you get closer together, you start sharing everything.

Summary
You almost fall, but I catch you quickly, my body reacting to yours even then. When our bodies bump into each other, our drinks spill everywhere.
Our hands brush together for the first time in both our lives, the feeling of your cold skin prickling against my nearly feverish one. You look at me, grey eyes wide, and in the second it takes you to recover your voice, I see it.
Wei Ying, I see everything.

Or, alternatively, Lan Zhan sees the future in the span of a second.
