    Summary

    Michael looks back at Gerry. “You’ll text?” he asks quietly.

    They stand only an arm’s length from each other. Gerry’s mouth goes dry. He licks his lips, and he doesn’t miss the way Michael’s gaze flicks downwards. He doesn’t miss the fact that they’re saying goodbye, and if things were only slightly different, there might be an expectation of how this evening would end.

    If it starts raining right now, Gerry might choke on the cliches.

    -

    A college AU in which the gang forms a band, Gerry falls in love with an art student, and everyone has to grow up eventually.

    Summary

    “He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”

    Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:

    One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
    Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
    Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.

    An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.

    Summary

    Since stumbling upon an underground rock concert in his senior year of high school, Lan Wangji has been a die-hard fan of Burial Mounds (and the band's charismatic lead singer/bassist Wei Wuxian, in particular). This obsession is one that he keeps close to his chest, as it clashes with the carefully cultivated image that he and his family have built for him. He would probably die if anyone found out how much the band meant to him, and how much time he has dedicated to their music. But when a chance encounter brings him and Wei Wuxian together for the first time one-on-one, things in Lan Wangji's perfectly planned life start to change.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji, infamously responsible class representative, has a crush. It's too bad that it's on the most irresponsible and disruptive student in the entire school. Wei Wuxian can't wear his uniform correctly, and he revels in breaking as many rules as he can on any given day. Somehow, the teachers just let him get away with most of it, meaning that it all falls on Lan Wangji's shoulders to keep him in line. But as their final year in high school progresses, Lan Wangji is finding it harder and harder to handle Wei Wuxian's increasingly ridiculous behavior, and the feelings that he's been ignoring all this time are getting harder and harder to ignore.

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.
