    Summary

    Lan Wangji has no idea why he is accompanying Wei Wuxian part of the way back to Yunmeng. These are starting to look like troubling times, he supposes, considering the rising conflict with the Wen clan, but he has learned very well lately that Wei Wuxian is a highly accomplished and skilled cultivator – no matter how much Wei Wuxian likes to present himself like an easy-going, uncultured, almost unmannered youngster who plays pranks on Lan Wangji and bothers him with a million things. But oh, all those little things with which he nags Lan Wangji… maybe they do actually impress him.

    Or: On a hot, hot summer day when they are seventeen, one thing leads to another and Lan Wangji finds himself tumbling around with Wei Wuxian in the green grass somewhere en route to Yunmeng, only mother nature watching them lose any restraint – and that more than once.
    Their feelings rising and their passion burning high, what future is there for them in the face of a conflict that soon turns icy cold?

    Summary

    After the night hunt in Biling Lake goes wrong, people start taking notice of Wei Wuxian, how he's more than just the undisciplined Head Disciple of Yunmeng Jiang always causing trouble, more than just the Servant's son everyone gossips about.

    What happens when a dream makes the oblivious Wei Wuxian understand his feelings at fifteen.

    What happens when the dream him gives insights into things Wei Wuxian has only ever expressed interest in learning once, but was reprimanded for.

    What happens when the Lan Sect, known for pursuing knowledge and innovation, learn the Jiang Sect has neglected to nurture the once in a lifetime genius they picked up off the street.

    ___
    A self indulgent fix-it fic where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji figure their shit out earlier and people accept that Wei Wuxian is way smarter than most of the Cultivation World, for better or worse. It changes a lot!

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have been suspected of being mates for quite some time. But the biologists at the company cannot deny or confirm this as they’re a confusing pair. Some of them think that they are promising mates and others do not. Nie Huaisang has heard them argue during breaks about why or why not. When he’s assigned to the two of them, he takes the opportunity. He can figure this out, he swears. He’s the perfect man for the job.

    OR

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are hybrids raised in a care facility. Nie Huaisang is in charge of their study, observing them to see whether or not they will become mates and actually mate. Things do not go as planned. But it doesn't mean they don't go well.

    Summary

    Coffee, people watching and a deep seeded love of books can bring about the greatest of things.

    Girl meets boy.
    Boy meets girl.
    Girl doesn't speak much.
    Boy falls a lot.
    Boy has a REALLY stressful life.
    Girl is awkward but somehow sometimes does things right.

    "There’s nothing wrong with being guarded, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with preferring the company of books to that of people."
