    Summary

    Wei Wuxian’s eyes are sharp, piercing as his arrows. “And you? Lan Zhan – you measure yourself and all others by your code alone. Tell me what you think. Truly.”

    It has been so… empty, without Wei Wuxian. Living day to day, week to week knowing more rumours are spreading of his evil ways, knowing the sects are increasingly fearful, slavering for blood as they plot his demise. He has lived with fear in his mouth for longer than he knows, waiting to hear that Yiling has been invaded, trampled, wiped out. That Wei Wuxian’s bright light is gone, extinguished.

    That the man who holds his heart in a strangle-hold, so tight it feels smothering sometimes, has died for his principles in the face of Lan Wangji’s intransience.

    “I want you to come back with me,” he says.

    Or: When the sects agree to invite the Yiling Laozu back into the cultivation world to raise those who die before their time, Lan Wangji volunteers to be the one to mind him.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian didn’t imagine acquiring a cat like this, nor did he imagine acquiring a fluffy white cat that, even covered in dirt and debris and clutched to a four-year-old’s chest like a teddy bear, manages to give the impression it’s judged his entire life and found it deeply wanting.

    “Uh, A’Yuan,” he asks slowly, just in case this is a hallucination. “Who’s this?”

    “A cat,” A’Yuan says proudly, leaning his round cheek against the top of the cat’s head, while the cat continues to look at Wei Wuxian like he’s wearing week-old clothes covered in food stains.

    Or: Wei Wuxian gets a cat, and then a boyfriend, both of which are a surprise.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen said, “Time for regrowth and mourning is, of course, the most important. But there has also been a—frequent—discussion of marriage.” He paused to drink more tea. He almost seemed apologetic when he added, “Your name has been brought up often.”

    “For marriage,” Lan Wangji repeated.

    Except with Wei Ying in the picture, nothing goes exactly as planned.
