    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He kept his footsteps soft as he stepped out of the trees, but Shen Jiu was perceptive as ever. He whipped around with blazing eyes, fingers already closing on a rock. They did not let it go when he caught sight of Tianlang-jun.
    ”Good evening A-Jiu.” Tianlang-Jun smiled. “How lucky am I to come across a great beauty in the moonlight. Have you read Whispers under Starlit Skies? There is a scene just like this.”
    Shen Jiu sneered at him.
    “I told you not to call me that,” he said.
    -or-
    Yue Qi may not have come back for Shen Jiu but Tianlang-Jun did.

    Summary

    “Mo Ran, look at me.” Mo Ran tries to look up at his shizun but his vision is too blurred. “Calm down and listen to me. I need you to think carefully. Do you have any idea who did this to you?”
    “I- I don’t know!” Mo Ran’s panic is overwhelming him. He can’t think clearly. All he can see is the fear in Chu Wanning’s eyes. Chu Wanning is afraid and he doesn’t even know about his past life. He doesn’t know how cruel Mo Ran really is. Was. Is. Through his tears, Mo Ran sobs, “Shizun! I really can’t think of anything!”
    For the first time in two lifetimes, Chu Wanning reaches across the table and pulls Mo Ran’s hands into his own. “It’s okay, Mo Ran. We’ll figure this out together. I will protect you.”
    ♠︎
    An AU in which Chu Wanning allows his little paper dragon to gossip about the spells he detected around the inn near the Guyueye auction and learns of the long hatred flower still residing dormant in Mo Ran’s heart.

    Summary

    ... But there is no Meng Po’s soup, the seven days of wandering have not yet begun, and Chu Wanning’s Human soul is more human in death than it has been in life, no cultivation base to bolster it through the pain of existence, and so it drifts in its blood-stained white robe, pushed here and pulled there by the tempest of his own mind, at the mercy and judgment of his own regrets.


     

    Or, Chu Wanning has regrets. A lot of them. And his Human soul is going to do something about that.

    But his beastly former disciple…

    Summary

    What Shen Qingqiu had learned of Luo Yuan's mother over the years was a considerable amount of only approximate knowledge.

    He knew that she had birthed Luo Yuan alone and had attempted to suffocate the infant when discovered. That she had suffered a critical deviation which took her memory including the knowledge that the crown prince was her own, and that whilst she remained nearly entirely anonymous, she still resided somewhere in the palace.

    ---

    Shen Qingqiu is forced to raise Luo Binghe's child, unaware that the prince is his own son.

    Summary

    "I won, Shizun."

    A beat of silence, then, Shen Qingqiu nodded. "Not bad," his voice was even lacking its usual coldness. "You handled yourself well."

    Six words. Simple praise that would have seemed faint to anyone else, but to Binghe, who had lived for years without a single word of approval from anyone, it was everything.

    Alternatively: the journey from a girl to a monster for the man she loves.

    A pregnant Chu Wanning pushes himself too hard, Mo Ran carries him home.

    "“It isn’t… grotesque? Unnatural to you?”

    “You’re beautiful, my love. Always have been. Always will be.”

    “Mm.”

    “And besides, you carried me up those steps once, barely able to move… no amount of journeys up or down these stairs could ever repay for what you-“

    But as they entered the Shoji gates to the Pavilion, to the trickling falls and the rippling pools of red lotus framed by the hiatang branches, Chu Wanning huffed.

    “Repayment, repayment. Must it always be about repayment? Love should need no repayment. You keep telling me that. Do you not?””

    “Yet you keep telling me you need to be useful.”"

    Summary

    Sure enough, the door creaks open as though Shi Mei is checking that Chu Wanning has actually gone to sleep as he promised. Without looking back at Shi Mei in the doorway, Chu Wanning says, “I told you to leave.”
    The footsteps crossing the room halt, but don’t leave. Irritation growing in his already painful chest. Chu Wanning spins around to scold Shi Mei for not listening to his shizun. The command to leave immediately dies in his throat before a sound escapes his lips.
    Mo Ran is standing there. Ghostly. Still covered in the blood of battle. Tears running down his face. His eyes wide and his mouth open as though in shock. In his hand he holds a single perfect haitang blossom that falls to the ground as he runs to the bed Chu Wanning sits on.

    In the Heavenly Rift, Mo Ran dies on Chu Wanning’s back as he drags them up 3,799 steps. Seven days later Huaizui arrives and tells Chu Wanning he can save Mo Ran. Chu Wanning agrees to do anything to bring Mo Ran back. The problem is, Chu Wanning knows Mo Ran died hating him and won’t want to return for him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.

    “Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”

    “It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.
