    Summary

    They’re mobbed at the airport.

    What’s worse is they’re mobbed after landing in Gimpo, desperate for lower-body baths and their own pillows. This is not a welcome home, Chan thinks bitterly. This is not love.

    Indignation builds in his chest. Navigating airports would be so much easier if he could just move his kids around like plushies in a claw machine. Or wolf pups in a den. If he could scruff them by the backs of their hoodies, he would. If he could slink away to hide them somewhere secluded and safe, he would. No one would get in their way if he snarled and raised his hackles to say these are mine, leave them alone.

    And—pain explodes in his mouth. Every movement of his tongue feels like firecrackers against his teeth. There’s too much pressure in his sinuses, in his eye sockets. His jaw creaks. His canines pulse. What is happening?

     

    —Or, the shame-hunger-restlessness of idol life catches up to Chan all at once, and the wolf howls itself awake.

    Summary

    “Cloud Reccesses Apiary,” says a toneless, deep masculine voice, with zero question in it. Wei Ying doesn’t care, because whoever possesses that voice is probably going to come save him from bees like a fucking hero while wearing like, a suit of armor. That’s what you wear to catch bees, right?

    “I have like, so many bees outside my front door right now,” he says, mouth running out ahead of him before he can even begin to think about reining it in. “It’s like a sandstorm of bees out there. There are so many bees. I got out of my car and there were just bees and I don’t want these bees. Do you want these bees? Please tell me you will come get these bees. I can’t leave my house and I have enough food for maybe a week but then I’m gonna have to learn how to cook dry beans and no one wants that, especially not me.” Wei Ying runs out of air, takes a breath, and belatedly adds, “My name is Wei Ying. Hi.”

    Or: The beekeeping AU that no one asked for.

    Summary

    “Please,” he whispers, swaying forward. Lan Wangji steadies him with one hand on his bound wrists and the other on his jaw, letting Wei Ying settle into the hold before he finally leans in to kiss him. His mouth is ghost-cold, corpse-cold. He tastes like grave-dust and grief, none of it belonging to him and all of it something he took on to help a dead stranger. He’s too good, Lan Zhan’s husband, too willing to carve strips off himself if he thinks someone else needs the flesh more. As though Wei Ying has the flesh to spare, even now. As though it would make Wei Ying a monster to keep something for himself instead of giving, giving, giving. Lan Wangji presses closer, teasing Wei Ying’s mouth open with his tongue. If Wei Ying is always taking himself apart, then at least he’ll always have Lan Wangji here to put him back together.

    Or: Wei Ying has trouble with the aftermath of a night hunt. Lan Wangji helps.

    Summary

    “Nice,” Drunk Man says, into the crook of his neck, and does nothing else. Wei Ying slowly relaxes, allows himself to pat Drunk Man between the shoulder blades, and sighs.

    “Okay,” he says. “Glad you think so.”

    Drunk Man does not respond. Wei Ying wonders if he went back to sleep, and then takes a further moment to wonder why this always happens to him, why he’s always the one helping a heartbroken twink sober up after a terrible night out or sitting on the curb with a sobbing teenager with a fake ID while they wait for her parents to come pick her up. If only he was as shitty a person as White Mike, he could be home asleep right now and this beautiful man would be passed out in a gutter and probably mugged. Wei Ying looks down at the drunk man on his shoulder, thinks about leaving him to fend for himself, and sighs. Nope. Not on his watch.

    Or: A meet-cute at two in the morning.

    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

    They’re a brighter orange than he was expecting, that’s the first thing he notices. Lan Zhan was vaguely concerned he might have difficulty actually seeing the mushrooms amongst the undergrowth, but that clearly won’t be a concern. He’d also worried that they wouldn’t find many, that they’d tromp over hill and dale for only a handful and waste their time, but this patch alone is enormous to his untrained eye. Dozens of bright orange ruffled mushrooms sprout up from the layer of fir needles covering the ground, occasionally lifting an entire fallen leaf with them in their enthusiasm to grow. It’s like being in a meadow planted with crocuses in early spring, except that it’s fall, and instead of flowers, it’s mushrooms.

    “Like I said,” Wei Ying says, nudging his elbow against Lan Zhan’s. “They love it.”

    Or: Five years after Wei Ying left, Lan Zhan accepts his invitation to go chanterelle foraging. They find more than they were expecting.

    Summary

    “Lan Luan-daifu says it looks like you’ve been undereating for months.”

    “I eat!” Wei Wuxian protests. “You watch me eat, Lan Zhan!” Why is he protesting? He knows exactly what he’s been fucking up, and Lan Zhan almost certainly has the shape of it if not the details. The words stick in his throat, fishbones to choke on, and he drinks more soup in a sullen attempt at washing them away.

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan says, setting a hand on his too-wiry thigh. There’s a whole sentence in the name now, layers of meaning, and he says some of it out loud with, “What’s wrong?

    The fight goes out of Wei Wuxian. It’s finally easy to surrender: Lan Zhan knows. It’s humiliating, but he knows. “Ah, Lan Zhan,” he says quietly. “It’s… complicated.”

    Lan Zhan nods, his hand petting over Wei Wuxian’s leg in comforting arcs. “Then we can work together to fix it,” he says earnestly. “Tell me?”

    Or: Recovery is complicated.

    Summary

    When Jin Guangshan asked Wei Wuxian what he wanted in return for his support in seizing the throne from Wen Ruohan, Wei Wuxian thought about the beautiful, lonely figure he'd once glimpsed in an open courtyard in Koi Tower. The last of the Lans in the world.

    It had been a long time since Wei Wuxian had wanted anything, but he wanted him.

    He couldn't have known what getting what he wanted would mean for them both.

    Summary

    Alpha Lan Wangji rapidly rose through the ranks of the Lan crime family to become its youngest enforcer, surpassing even his brother. He had a reputation for being cold and utterly unyielding. He did not make mistakes, and he didn’t forgive those who did. Of all the rules he followed, he was the most strict with himself about Rule Number 1: Never get attached.
    ---
    Wei Wuxian had been waiting for a chance to get Wen Chao outside of the main Wen compound in Nightless City. He lucked out when he discovered an exclusive club outside of Wen territory that the man frequented. The only problem was that the club was run by Hanguang-Jun, rumored to be the top enforcer of the Lan crime family, and it was nearly impossible to get in. The only people who were guaranteed admittance were VIPs (which Wei Wuxian was definitely not), or whichever omega Hanguang-Jun happened to be fucking that month. Wei Wuxian fit his general type, and decided to pose as the newest flavor on a night when the crime lord would be out of town and unable to verify his identity or not.

    Unfortunately, their intel was wrong. Hanguang-Jun was not out of town.

    Summary

    It's hard for Lan Xichen to trust his judgement after having so blatantly misjudged the character of Jin Guangyao, but watching Wei Wuxian interact with his brother reminds him that good can come from his judgement.

    The 5+1 fic that was supposed to be lighthearted and funny. Instead, it turned into Lan Xichen being the best brother (in-law) ever as he helps Wei Wuxian work through his complicated emotions and they bond over younger brothers and rabbits.

    ("I think it’s nice to stab something repeatedly. It’s cathartic,” Wei Wuxian quips, a familiar teasing glint back in his eyes, “I get stabbed so often, it’s nice to be the one doing the stabbing instead.”

    "Wei Wuxian!" )

    Summary

    Like a parasite, Wei Wuxian has this way of growing on people when you least expect it.

    Over the seasons, Lan Qiren slowly pieces back together his relationship with Wangji and learns to like Wei Wuxian in the process.

    (“Will you rejoin your sect?” As soon as the words leave his mouth, Lan Qiren regrets his wording.

    He is not surprised when Wangji’s eyes narrow, flashing with offence. “There is no need to rejoin what one has never left. I did not turn my back on my sect. My sect turned their backs on me.”)

    Six years after the siege at the Burial Mounds, the Jiang Sect looks to Yiling once more as rumors of a young demonic cultivator and the restless spirit which trails behind him reach their ears. Luckily for the two in question, Hanguang-jun has heard the same rumors, and comes trailing behind.

    A-Yuan, in the meanwhile, is not pleased at having his life disrupted, especially by a man who has mysterious intentions towards his Xian-gege.

    Summary

    Suddenly, it snaps into place. The weary way Lan Zhan has been holding himself is suddenly cast in a new, much more distressing light. Somebody is responsible for it, a real live, horrible, blind, stupid person. The combination of guilt, sadness, and anger that sets in all at once is hard to contain. Lingering wisps of resentment that remain from the night-hunt flock to him, like calling to like.

    All four boys stare at him with wide eyes.

    “Wei-qianbei,” Sizhui says. “You look...um…”

    “Scary,” Zizhen breathes, beaming.

    “Who has rejected Lan Zhan?” Wei Wuxian asks.

     

    Or; during one of his visits to the Cloud Recesses, the juniors strike a blow to Wei Wuxian's certainty that his feelings for Lan Wangji are one-sided.

    Summary

    “Is that weird, Lan Zhan? We don’t even know each other that well, but I just feel like...I do know you.”

    “You do,” Lan Wangji agrees, barely voiced. His heart hammers. “I want you to. And I…”

    He almost tells Wei Wuxian he loves him, right there on the couch on their canceled first date, just barely managing to stop himself before the words leave his mouth.

     

    Lan Wangji keeps his public self separate from who he is when he is alone. Wei Wuxian unwittingly smashes through that boundary. Surprisingly, Lan Wangji does not regret it.
