    Summary

    Lan Xichen squeezes his arm once and lets go. Lan Wangji tries not to miss the warmth as the man continues, “Do not worry, Wangji. We have invited Young Master Wei and I am sure that he can help us break the curse. If there is anyone in the world whom I trust to do it, it is him.”

    All of a sudden, recognition sparks at the surname. It catches him off guard, after everything that happened in the short span of time, the familiarity in the name grips him with hope. Lan Xichen stood and Lan Wangji raises his head and speaks, almost without thinking, “Wait.”

    The smile on Lan Xichen’s face falters. “What is the matter?”

    “Young Master Wei,” Lan Wangji repeats even though the words do not fit his mouth right. It feels wrong even though he does not know why. He needs to know why. “What is his name?”

    A night hunt leads to Lan Wangji forgetting everything except for his cultivation and his inexplicable connection to a person he cannot even remember - Wei Ying.

    Summary

    The way Wei Ying saw it, getting hit by a weird curse or two on a night hunt was an expected job hazard as a cultivator, and this was just a one-time fuck to help a friend out. It wouldn’t change anything between them, even if he’d been crushing on Lan Zhan since forever. It couldn't get more complicated than that.

    (He was of course wrong, wrong, and dead wrong.)

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” Meng Yao says, “do you know what a pet is for?”

    Wei Ying watches a blush creep into his own cheeks in the mirror. “Um… companionship?”

    Meng Yao reemerges with a long needle. “Yes,” he says patiently, holding the needle over a candle flame, “that’s true. But there’s more to it than that. A pet makes their master look good. As a noble Lan Wangji has to follow certain rules. He can’t dress too extravagantly. But he can dress his pet however he wants. The more expensive you look, the more desirable you are, the more powerful Lan Wangji is. Do you understand?”

    /

    In which Wei Ying is the new pet in town, Meng Yao lends a hand, and Xue Yang is just here for a good time.

    Summary

     Letting himself get cursed may not have been the smartest thing Wei Wuxian has ever done, but he'd argue that it’s completely in character. So he should earn some points for consistency, at the very least. Besides, when the spirit had been explaining it, the curse hadn't sounded too bad. Maybe a little bothersome if he underestimated how many people felt strongly about him, but surely, surely, it wouldn't be enough to hamper him in the long run.

    Let it be known that Wei Wuxian is an idiot.

    Because, when he emerges from the dilapidated husk of the temple, he can't see anyone

    Or: Wei Wuxian gets cursed so he can’t see or feel anyone who feels strongly about him and assume this means that the people he cares about actually hate him.

    Summary

    "Who do you think your betrothed is?" Wei Wuxian asks, sprawling out in front of Lan Zhan and enjoying the prim thinning of his lips at the question. He shouldn't be sprawling—they're in the library, for one, and Lan Zhan is studying, for another—but he can't help himself. Wei Wuxian is a sprawler.

    "I do not believe this to be of importance," Lan Zhan responds, without turning his gaze away from his book.

    "What!" Wei Wuxian sits up. "How can you say that? Of course it's important! This is the person you'll be with for the rest of your life, Lan Zhan."

    Summary

    “You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”

    “Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.

    Wei Ying frowned at him. “That can’t be right.”

    Summary

    With an almost trance-like detachment, Wei Wuxian touched his own neck, his fingers skimming over the fresh mark. The bite wound had stopped bleeding, although he had no doubts it would open again if agitated.

    Bonded.

    He was bonded for life.

    "Shit," he whispered. He looked over at the sleeping form of Lan Wangji—the Second Prince of Gusu and, until his brother was found, the sole heir to the throne. "Oh, shit. Lan Qiren is going to kill me."

    ----------

    Lan Wangji goes into a fevered rut and accidentally bonds with Wei Wuxian. When they next meet, he remembers none of it, and Wei Wuxian is determined to keep the bond a secret—even when he's sent to the Cloud Recesses to be a consort in Lan Wangji's harem.

    Summary

    There was no way the old contract Jiang Cheng found arranging a marriage between the direct disciples of the Nie and Jiang sects was, as Jiang Cheng insisted, the way to solve the problem of the Yiling Patriarch - if only because there was no way the Nie sect would agree to it.

    Except - they did. And now they're coming to discuss terms.

    With Lan Wangji as the official chaperone.

    Summary

    Lan WangJi knew well that he had fallen in love with a stubborn man.

    It was stubbornness with which Wei Ying pursued his friendship in the Cloud Recesses all those years ago, despite constant rebuffs. It was stubbornness with which he clawed his way from the Burial Mounds the first time. And now, meeting Wei Ying in Yiling, child in his arms, he realized: it was the same stubbornness which persuaded him to go back into the Burial Mounds the second time.

    Wei Ying, his path once chosen, would never waver from it. All Lan WangJi could do then, was choose to walk beside him.

    (Never let it be said that Lan WangJi was any less stubborn than the object of his affections.)

    Summary

    Her fingers dig into his shoulder, his robes bunching in her grip as a sob crawls out of her throat. It hurts, tugging at the wound, but she can't stop it.

    “Where is he, A-Cheng?”

    “I killed him, A- Jie. I killed Wei Wuxian,” he sobs, animal and broken.

    Yanli screams, loud and long and heavens it hurts. Worse than any pain she's ever had from her heart. Worse than loosing mother and father. Worse than birthing A Ling. Worse than mourning Zixuan. She screams.
    ~*~

    In the wake of Wei Wuxian's death, Jiang Yanli must navigate the difficult waters between love and forgiveness.

    Summary

    When the Wen Empire launches a bloody campaign to extend the reaches of its borders, their first target is the Kingdom of Gusu. Between the might of Emperor Wen’s army, the leadership of his two biological sons, and the dark, unorthodox powers of his adopted son, Wei Wuxian a.k.a. The Yiling Demon, Gusu is quickly crushed. 

    As the spoils of war are divided and the surviving Lan disciples are taken as slaves and prisoners, Wei Wuxian shocks the cultivation world by claiming his first and only war prize: the young enemy prince, Lan Wangji. 

    Both men soon learn that the distinctions between cruelty and kindness, good and evil, and love and hate are hazy and thin — especially when two souls like theirs are fated to meet.

    Summary

    Lan Jingyi expected to spend his Junior year on grades and fitness and maybe studying for the cultivator's licensing exam. Ouyang Zizhen expected to spend his Junior year on romance and hero-worship and fleeting moments of class-induced panic. Unfortunately for their plans, they neglected to account for Wei Wuxian, recently resurrected and back from the dead after 1300 years. Now, it's up to them and the rest of the juniors to keep Wei Wuxian from doing... something. They aren't entirely sure what they're supposed to keep him from doing, but the continued survival of the world probably depends on it, so-
    Everything will be fine.
