    Summary

    Healthy communication might be an unrealistic kink in this fandom but it's my kink nonetheless.

    “Why are you doing this?” Joo-Won demanded.

    “Doing what?” Dong-Sik asked, one corner of his mouth twitching into that damnable smirk.

    Joo-Won searched for the words to describe what he felt like Dong-Sik was doing. ‘Prying into my personal affairs’ would have been good. ‘Being an obnoxious piece of shit’, also a strong contender. ‘Refusing to accept the fact that I don’t want you here, I don’t want you in my life, I don’t want anyone in my life, I don’t need anyone in my life, and all you’re doing is driving me to distraction at a time when I need to be focused’, he thought, was probably the most accurate.

    Somehow what he wound up saying through gritted teeth was, “Staying.”

    Summary

    In the aftermath, everyone takes stumbling steps to rebuild. Wen Qing lives. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian learn to talk to each other again (maybe). Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji slowly (so very slowly) figure things out. And the Juniors get into all kinds of shenanigans.

    This is a story about family and how some things are worth the time spent getting there.

    Summary

    Ah, what else to say...this will be a quick letter, as I want to send it off before I head out in the morning. Of course there’s too much to express—especially when I lack the gorgeous poetry of your voice, which you’ll be pleased to know has prevented my peaceful rest on many a night. It is wrong enough that you lay beyond the edge of the clouds, and I lay alone under feverish rain. I can only hope that I also disrupt your evenings, else life would be far too unfair.

    Your Wei Ying

     

    //

    between parting and reuniting on a mountainside, wei ying and lan zhan exchange love letters.

    illustrations included in chapters 9 and 10.

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.
