    Summary

    Laurent gestured subtly, towards the other end of the ballroom where a group of men were talking amiably. “Him,” Laurent said.

    Auguste looked. “What about him?”

    “I’m going to court him.”

    There was a long pause. “That’s King Damianos of Akielos.”

    “Okay,” Laurent replied.

    Summary

    Clearly, before Wei Wuxian could continue with his plans to 1) get Lan Wangji to become his friend, and, more importantly, 2) get Lan Wangji to take his shirt off, he needed to deal with the interns. They were very obviously still under some sort of an assumption that he and Lan Wangji were an item.

    Summary

    "I set up a Grindr profile last night and I've received many messages of people comparing me to a catfish. Now that I know what it means, I'm relieved I haven't started responding to the messages yet."

    There's a marked silence coming from the other side of the room. The needle is frozen in midair, resting on Wei Ying's index finger as he stares dumbly back at Lan Zhan. It had been a while since he'd seen him speechless. Wei Ying has a tremendous poker face and rarely lets it drop, even in times of distress. Lan Zhan wonders if he's said something wrong.

    "C-can you repeat that?"

    Wei Ying also never stutters, so Lan Zhan obliges him quickly. Repeating himself does nothing to quell Wei Ying's confusion. In fact, it seems to grow.

    "W-hy— why— why would you do that?"


    After thirteen years of pining after a best friend that's shown absolutely no interest in him, Lan Zhan decides to create a profile on Grindr and get this whole virginity thing dealt with.

    Summary

    The message says, I require exclusive commitment as well as flexibility. You may spend the night, but not always. I will be the one to keep the schedule of our meetings.

    Wei Ying crunches on a chip thoughtfully, then takes a deep breath and writes back, What do I get in return?

    "Like sex with a guy or...?"

    Zuko looks at Sokka and shrugs, "In general I guess."

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is going to be offered to the Emperor Lan Wangji as a marriage prospect at the end of the Jiang sect's visit to the palace. He's not worried - the Emperor always says no to every offer. But he is bored, sitting around and waiting until the day of the ceremony so they can get it over with and go home.

    While he is exploring the palace, he coincidentally meets a beautiful man called Lan Zhan, who he loves to tease. These things may be related.

    Summary

    And then Wei Ying straightened, something terribly apologetic, almost frail in his eyes – and before he said the words, Lan Wangji already knew what the answer would be. Suddenly, the day that had so far felt very warm turned cold for him.

    He would have held up his hand, but something was keeping him frozen in place. The realization, perhaps, that he would not get those words back now. That he’d put them out, careless like a child, and just as fragile when facing the realities of the world.

    Wei Ying bowed to him, so respectful that it made Lan Wangji taste iron on his tongue. “I’m very honored, that Lan Zhan would hold me in such high regard, but – I don’t like men like that, so –“

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but feel a bit fond, even despite the embarrassment. Hadn’t he just done that a second ago? They were both playing bashful, even when this was just something Wei Wuxian’s mind had come up with.

    He licked his lips. “It’s fine. It’s not real.”

    Lan Zhan nodded slowly. “This is a dream.”

    “Yeah,” Wei Wuxian said, then firmer: “Yes. No harm done. You can eye me up.”

    Summary

    '“Wait,” Namjoon mutters, bringing his hands up to his head, fingers lightly pulling at the longer strands of hair. “Wait, are they-”

    “Technically, until we get an official ID on them, we can’t confirm anything,” Jimin says, holding up the report and waving it in Namjoon’s direction. “But reports say that they’ve been wearing the rings for a couple years now, and they’ve been spotted multiple times being,” Jimin wiggles his eyebrows, “romantically affiliated.”

    Taehyung flashes Namjoon a boxy grin. “AKA, you and Seokjin-hyung are going undercover as-”

    “-a married couple,” Namjoon finishes, and he wonders if the ground can swallow him whole as the words settle in his mind and the realization hits.

    When a pair of arms dealers wind up dead, detective partners Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin are sent undercover as them in order to find out who they were planning to sell to. The twist? These two arms dealers happen to be married, and Namjoon and Seokjin's undercover operation is about to give a whole new definition to the term 'partner'.

    Summary

    Seokjin is not looking for a relationship – he’s been there, done that, lesson learned. So when he somehow ends up in a fuck buddy arrangement with supposed one-night-stand Namjoon, he knows that he needs to handle the fling without emotionally compromising himself. He’s definitely got this! (Dear reader, he did not have it.)

    Namjoon dropped the used condom onto the floor – gross – and said, “So, you have issues with sex.”

    Seokjin blinked at the virtual stranger whose bed he was in. “What the fuck? No, I don’t.” He processed the words. “Hey! Fuck you!”

    Summary

    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.

    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.

    "I don't want to really date anyone. It's so stupid, I just need to pretend date someone until Jiang Cheng gets his act together, then go back to my own life." He stares at his empty coffee cup.

    "Date me," Lan Zhan says. Then he looks at Wei Ying's empty cup. "Would you like another cup of coffee?"

    "Always," Wei Ying says automatically. "But wait, what."

    "I'll get you another cup." Lan Zhan rises smoothly from the table.

    "No, wait, hang on." Wei Ying grabs his wrist before he can take the cup and Lan Zhan freezes up, staring down at where Wei Ying is hanging on to him. "Fuck, sorry, I'll—" Wei Ying hastily lets go of his wrist. "Sorry, I—what did you mean?"

    "I can pretend to date you," Lan Zhan says. "You take it with cream and sugar, correct?"
