    Summary

    And then Wei Ying straightened, something terribly apologetic, almost frail in his eyes – and before he said the words, Lan Wangji already knew what the answer would be. Suddenly, the day that had so far felt very warm turned cold for him.

    He would have held up his hand, but something was keeping him frozen in place. The realization, perhaps, that he would not get those words back now. That he’d put them out, careless like a child, and just as fragile when facing the realities of the world.

    Wei Ying bowed to him, so respectful that it made Lan Wangji taste iron on his tongue. “I’m very honored, that Lan Zhan would hold me in such high regard, but – I don’t like men like that, so –“

    Summary

    Chu Wanning is just passing through the main courtyard when a group of female junior disciples approaches from the opposite way, huddled close together under two umbrellas, talking in animated voices that carry across the space.

    “Have you seen him?” the tallest of them says. She is one of Xuanji’s disciples, but Chu Wanning cannot recall her name. “Da-shixiong says he’d been away for a while, but now he’s back for good.”

    Five years after the opening of the Heavenly Rift, Mo Ran returns to Sisheng Peak. Soon later, Chu Wanning begins to be plagued by strange dreams.

    Summary

    Chu Wanning squeezes his eyes shut. When he opens them, he’s looking everywhere but Mo Ran.

    “I won’t say it,” he bites out. But there’s a hint of need in his tone, an undertone of desperation. “Don’t make me say it.”

    Mo Ran tries to do a nice gesture. He discovers something else.

    Summary

    How would he say that no bruises or leftover dirt mattered, as long as he would get to be pushed back on the bed and held close under the covers? As long as he would get to bury his face in Mo Ran’s neck, breathe in his scent, let it surround him, wrap around him like Mo Ran’s strong arms would? That what would clean and heal his wounds was not a wet makeshift towel, but—

    ”Mo Ran,”

    —An imagining of the events following the moment under that tree at the end of chapter 310.

    Summary

    When Shi Mei is arrested by a Rufeng Sect Elder on trumped-up charges, it falls to his shizun to rescue him—even if that means surrendering his first time to a sleazy old man with cruel intentions.

    Mo Ran, for some reason, has objections to this.

    Or: the one in which Chu Wanning is a repressed virgin and Mo Ran just wants to get his teacher's first time right this time.

    Summary

    Mo Ran glances to the person nearest to him, shrouded underneath their umbrella. The rain patters off the canvas, rolling to disappear into the damp grass around his neighbor’s soaking house slippers. “I don’t see a fire. Do you think it was kids messing around? When’s the fire department going to get here and switch that damn thing off?”

    The person scoffs lowly. “How should I know?”  

    Mo Ran wrinkles his nose. “Just making conversation.” His skin prickles with goosebumps, a shiver wracking his body. His nipples could cut glass right about now, he notices with a humorless chuckle to himself, and he lifts his hands to chafe the skin of his arms, dancing in place to warm up. “I hope it’s soon,” he says. “Fucking freezing out here.”  

    The umbrella tilts fractionally, revealing a sliver of a sharply angled jaw. The person’s throat works in a swallow, and then the umbrella is back, blocking Mo Ran’s view of their face. “Perhaps you should have put on more clothes.”

    Summary


    You deserve better—I refuse to disrespect you ever again. I want to be better. I must be better.

    But I don’t know how. I don’t know what to do.

    I don’t know where Taxian-Jun ends and Mo-Zongshi begins.

    I only know now that I cannot lie to myself: I want you so fiercely that I burn with it, I am consumed with the desire to make you mine and mine alone. To become one with you, feeling your fire twine with mine.

    Or, Chu Wanning finds letters from Mo-Zongshi that were never shared with him.

    These hitherto undiscovered letters cover a range of emotions that weren't present in the book he gifted his Shizun: contrition, yearning, and desire.

    Summary

    Chu Wanning knows what he is and what he isn’t. And where he lacks in pleasantries and outward appeal, he makes up for in untouchable grace and dignity.

    It threatens to unravel once he meets a familiar face in an unfamiliar city.

    “So quick to run away from me, Chu-laoshi,” Mo Ran says, voice gently teasing as Chu Wanning refuses to make eye contact with him. “After you came all the way from…”

    He trails off, waiting for Chu Wanning to let him know, but he sees the map open on Chu Wanning’s phone and grins wider. “You want directions?”

    Chu Wanning clears his throat, and shakes his head. He should say something— instead, he stays silent as he looks down at his phone and punches in the hotel name again.

    Happily, his phone tells him to try again when he has signal.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian gasps back into life without a single memory left. His friends, his siblings, his home — all lost to the fog in his head, nothing more than a mystery slipping through his fingers. What else was there to do but carry himself around in bits and parts, trying to become whole, a letter waiting to be written? He is – he is Mo Xuanyu, isn’t he? In this body, with these people. This family. He has to be Mo Xuanyu, he didn’t know anything else, even if the name sounded wrong. That was all he had.

    Well, that and Hanguang-jun.

    Lan Wangji, for his part, has had his taste of love and lost it. In all his grieving and searching, he didn’t expect to find another.

    -

    Wei Wuxian gets resurrected, loses his memories, and falls in love.

    Summary

    It has been six months since Mo Ran has seen Chu Wanning. It has been on purpose. Once Chu Wanning had been promoted upwards in both position and office floor, Mo Ran made sure to give wide berth to the cold and unfeeling man who’s butted heads with him since he started at Sisheng.

    This changes one night, when a friend puts forth a wager.

    “Not him.”

    “Hm?” Mei Hanxue peers over, and his eyes go wide before an absolutely shit-eating smile crosses his face. He doesn’t even bother with an over-saccharine “Why not?” because he can already see Mo Ran’s hackles start to rise.

    “No,” Mo Ran warns before Mei Hanxue can open his mouth, and Mei Hanxue gives him a positively feline look. “Do you want me to die?”

    “For him, I’ll double what I said I’d give you,” Mei Hanxue says and Mo Ran raises an eyebrow. “What? If he says yes, it’d be one of mankind’s greatest accomplishments. Statues would be made in your honour.”

    Summary

    Mo Ran falls into an unexpected arrangement with Chu Wanning.

    Mo Ran knows for certain that Chu Wanning doesn’t like him, and never has. At most, he’s probably tired of being a repressed virgin in his thirties and Mo Ran just happens to be the most convenient and friendly person available. Or the best at wrangling his desire and taking control.

    Either way, he’s not quite sure what’s brought the two of them to this intersection.

    Summary

    Mo Ran tries to win over the new librarian at his university through his cooking. It goes well, up until someone else takes a page out of his book and starts to bring Chu Wanning food too.

    Much to Mo Ran’s satisfaction, Chu Wanning starts with his food first. Mo Ran leans back in his chair and folds his arms over his chest, watching as Chu Wanning delicately vacuums the entire thermos worth of noodles.

    “Was it good?” Mo Ran asks and Chu Wanning nods. The smallest smile tugs at the corner of his lips and Mo Ran almost sends himself over the moon when Chu Wanning says, “You’re a talented cook.”

    The mood is quickly punctured by Chu Wanning pushing the cursed dish towards Mo Ran mere moments later.

    “Have some,” he says, nodding towards Mo Ran's direct competition. “They’re not terrible.”

    Mo Ran can’t help it. He looks at the container like it’s his mortal enemy.

    Summary

    The man tosses the towel unceremoniously back at Mo Ran’s chest, like he’s personally offended by it. And the fact that his hands had just been all over said chest barely minutes earlier, maybe.
     
    “Please pack a box of egg tarts with extra custard filling, a box of red bean paste buns with extra syrup, a rice pudding with extra candied fruit garnish, and a box of osmanthus cakes with extra sweet pear jam.”
     
    Mo Ran’s eyes grow progressively wider as he lists the items. 
     
    It’s him.
     
    Not the suburban mother of four, not the elderly guy dealing with a midlife crisis, but quite possibly the hottest guy he’s ever seen. Who also happens to have the highest sugar tolerance Mo Ran has seen in a human being in his two years of running this bakery.
