    Summary

    This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex. Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. “Crawly,” it appears to be begging for the other’s return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham. The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown.

    "I feel I should begin by saying—and I ask the gracious reader not to place judgment upon me until I have told all—that I have several times committed illicit acts against the Crown and, I will say, feel no remorse for them."

    Summary

    once you had lived for him that smile, and that evening
    but nothing about him you know, now,
    was true.

    ----

    After Guanyin Temple, Lan Xichen reflects on his relationship with Jin Guangyao.

    A MAGIC POEM that can either be read 1) as a whole, across both lines, 2) the left column only, or 3) the right column only.
    The two columns can be either two conflicting arguments, or two halves of the truth - your choice :)

    Summary

    Lan Wangji has known all his life that he is destined for some book-lined office, for publication credits and funding awards, the grown-up versions of school prizes for academic achievement. The prospect has, for the most part, been comforting. But as the academic year wears on, he finds his work increasingly taking a backseat to Wen Qing's plans to unseat, or at least unsettle, their Head of Faculty, and Lan Wangji begins to look beyond the library walls. (Any influence from local chaos gremlin Wei Wuxian will not be acknowledged at this time, thank you very much.)

    Or: maybe the real academic networking was all the groupchats we were added to along the way.

    Summary

    “I apologize for the inconvenience,” Lan Zhan spoke quietly, afraid to disturb the child. “I might have panicked,” he admitted embarrassedly.
    “Ah, it’s fine, Lan Zhan, I’m glad I could help a young dad,” Wei Ying winked.
    Lan Zhan felt his face blush.
    “I’m not his father.”

    Lan Zhan is unexpectedly left to take care of a-Yuan and asks experienced uncle Wei Ying for help.

    Summary

    Lan Jingyi sneaks a tribble on board the ship and he and the rest of the juniors deal with the tribblesome outcome.


    Jingyi grabs A-Jing and Zizhen by their shoulders and brings their faces together. “Listen to me. Are you listening?” He shakes them. There’s a manic look in his eyes that Zizhen has only ever seen when Jingyi gets no sleep. “Under no circumstances are the Captain and Commander allowed to find out about this. Captain Lan will throw me off the ship. Commander Wei will think it’s hilarious. I will become the laughingstock of the entire federation.”

    Summary

    An AU where the Lan Xichen is the Emperor; Lan Wangji is the Crown Prince; the Jin, Jiang, and Nie are Dukedoms; and even 13 years dead, Wei Wuxian is still the most feared man in all of China. Newly resurrected, Wei Wuxian would love nothing more than to cultivate a core and go become a rogue cultivator.

    Except, there's something very suspicious going on in the Imperial Palace, and while Wei Wuxian might not be able to help Lan Wangji in solving it, the unassuming and soft-spoken "Prince-Concubine Mo" sure can.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng seethes, gripping the bridge of his nose. “I don’t know how to help you,” he admits, “so I’m sending you to the people that do.”

    It nearly slips out then, the truth of the matter. Wei Wuxian opens his mouth to snap back ‘There’s no helping me, not now!’ but the words stick in his throat. Shijie is crying and Jiang Cheng is defiant and Lan Zhan is staring at him so earnestly that Wei Wuxian simply doesn’t know how to tell them all that he’s living on borrowed time.

    So he doesn’t.

    ---

    At the behest of his siblings, Wei Wuxian is sent to Gusu to recover from the strain of the Sunshot Campaign.

    If only he knew how to do that.

    Summary

    “I’m serious," Jin Ling presses. "You think Lanling Jin can survive another scandal? Another horrible sect leader? I have to be perfect! That’s what this entire conference is about!”

    “I thought it was about fostering inter-sect harmony,” Lan Jingyi deadpans, which, damnably, is a direct line from the invitation.

    A year after the fall of Jin Guangyao, Jinlintai opens its doors to prove there is nothing to hide. Jin Ling is just trying to survive the week.

    Summary

    They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
    They may not mean to, but they do.
    They fill you with the faults they had
    And add some extra, just for you.
    -Philip Larkin, This Be The Verse

    Or, Vermin’s insane Babies Ever After Kidfic AU Extravaganza, which is not quite as cynical as the poem it’s named for.

    The primary points of AU canon divergence here are that the baby Changeling from “The Begotten” (S5E12) survived, Jadzia was not killed in "Tears of the Prophets" (S6E26), Bashir and Garak managed to resolve all those years of UST sometime in the later seasons, and all this resulted in (nearly) everyone’s canon endings getting scrambled.

    Desire's one concession to Dream: that he may spend that year married to Hob Gadling, who didn't sign up for any of this.
