anyone alive in there? by soapstix

Summary
"Just—listen. Shouto, we all live on a huge, spinning chunk of rock in the middle of a practically endless void we call space. Do you realise how fucking stupid that is? The fact that we're alive is insane. Human bodies are insane. Everything we call life is a joke."
"How optimistic," Shouto says dryly.
Or: Shouto has an existential crisis. Luckily, he also has a boyfriend to make him feel better with good food and some strangely comforting sentiments about death.

Summary
“I’m good, you know.” Billy says. His face is empty, expressionless, the way it was when Steve threw books at him and shouted, what do you mean you’re leaving? That’s it? We’re done?
Steve can do nothing but stare at Billy.
He wants to say, I’m not. I’m not and I never will be. You didn’t just break my heart Billy, you blew it up. It’s not lying on the floor ready to be put back together, it’s floating in microscopic dust in the motherfucking air.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Summary
Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.
He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.
In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

Summary
“Lan Zhan, sweetheart,” Wei Ying says softly, stroking a hand atop the pile of blankets currently housing his best friend. “Come out. I’m gonna take your temperature.”
There is a groan from within, but then the blanket mound shifts and Lan Zhan’s head emerges, hair spilling in knots across his face. Wei Ying has seen him drunk only once, and even then he had looked more put together than this.
;
Every other time, it’s been Lan Zhan looking after Wei Ying. Now Lan Zhan needs some tender loving care of his own, and Wei Ying is helpless to do anything but offer it to him.

Summary
Azulon meets his son’s glare head on. “This sacrifice is not only for Agni, but for our people. Morale is gone, it is time for us in the palace to place our lot with peasants. Bender or not the prince must die, for a god, and for the people.”
Understanding seems to come to Ursa and Ozai at the same time. Horror crosses Ursa’s face and she reaches for her husband's sleeve digging labor broken nails into the silk.
“Ozai, we cannot lie to a god.”
Ozai shakes her off, “A god that let his chosen people suffer. Father is right, we are at war, the loss of a son will show our people how we tried and lost as much as them.”
Ursa shakes her head, chest heaving, “We cannot lie to a god.”
“I don’t care about a god.” Ozai leans down to look his wife in the eyes, touches her face like she is something that held value and now sits on the shelf of an antique store. “Let the people’s anger be on the god when our efforts fail.”
“If he does not bend,” Azulon muses, bringing the baby back to the cradle in his arms, “then he does not bend, but that mustn't escape the palace walls.”
Azulon hands Ozai his son and Zuko wails like he has been set ablaze.
Or, Zuko was born to save the Fire Nation.

Summary
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian met as culinary school rivals, but quickly bonded over their shared love for cooking.
Now, Lan Wangji is the sous-chef at Gusu, a restaurant his family has owned for four generations. On paper, he has his future all figured out: honor the family legacy, rise through the ranks, and make Gusu the most sought-after spot in all of Beijing. Deep down, however, he is no longer sure if that’s what he wants.
Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian has sworn off cooking altogether, after an accident destroyed Lotus Pier, his adoptive family’s restaurant. Condemned as a chef, he disappeared three years ago.
A chance reunion in the middle of a bustling market helps remind them why they’ve both started cooking in the first place.

Summary
"Xichen has loved his brother so much he thinks his heart might bear him ill will at this point. He will always ache when he is gone, like one of his arms is missing. He will try to soothe his brother’s troubled heart for a thousand years, if loving this boy is what will bring Wangji the most happiness, but it pricks at him like a doctor’s needles to see his brother’s open devotion treated like nothing by its very object."

Summary
Huaisang sticks his tongue out at Mingjue. “I bet you’re just mad because you talked to Xichen-ge and he brutally rejected you, again.”
“Okay, first of all, I was never ‘brutally rejected,’ I was turned down very gently and we were still friends until I graduated,” Mingjue says, ignoring Huaisang’s obvious eyeroll. “Second, we spoke for like two minutes and half of it was about you. He says hello, by the way. Third, even if I were still interested in him, which I’m not, he isn’t interested in me. He said we should ‘get coffee sometime’ and gave me his business card.”
“Ouch,” Huaisang says with a wince. “Like, his personal card or the one from the hospital?”
“The one from the hospital.” Mingjue pulls it out of his pocket to show his brother. “It’s a very nice, impersonal card.”
So what if Nie Mingjue has been a little in love with his childhood best friend, Lan Xichen, for the better part of two decades? That's his business -- not his brother's, not his very few friends', and definitely not Lan Xichen's.

Summary
“His death,” Megumi starts. “How did it happen?”
God, this is it. Gojo tugs off his blindfold and watches it flutter pathetically to the floor like a dying butterfly. He’d rather swim in a sea of curses than do this, but Megumi deserves to know.
“Me.”
Megumi’s breath hitches. A thousand microexpressions that Gojo’s learned to read over the years flicker across his features like the pages of a flipbook. “...what?”
“It was me. I killed him,” Gojo confirms. “I killed your father, Megumi.”
---------
Gojo admits something.

Summary
From his job in the Armitage L train station booth, Wei Ying has watched The Most Beautiful Man In The World ride the train at 8 am and 4:30 pm for years, always in perfect suits, always with perfect hair, always with a perfect smile.
He's going to marry that guy someday. So what if he doesn't know his name. Names have nothing to do with true love.
When he saves His Future Husband from being squished by a train, Wei Ying finds himself engulfed in a tsunami of Lans who think he really is going to marry Mr. Wonderful, Lan Xichen, their son/brother/uncle/nephew. Despite himself, Wei Ying likes belonging to them. Except for the lying. Except for the guilt. Except for the fact that he took one look at his pretend-fiancé's brother, Lan Zhan, and maybe, MAYBE fell stupidly, hopelessly in love.
He can't tell them. He can't not tell them. How could this possibly get any worse??? (spoiler alert: it gets worse)

Summary
“A-Yuan,” Wei Ying says, a laugh perched behind his voice, “can’t you stay where I put you for five minutes? I’ll plant you again, see if I don’t, and Wen Qing won’t stop me this time. You can’t run off after every pretty man who--”
Lan Wangji is having some kind of out of body fit, he thinks faintly.
Wei Ying has been missing for years, has never answered a letter, and he’s...here at Lan Xichen’s weekend market? With a child?
His hair is in the messiest braid, flyaway bits every which way. Lan Wangji’s traitorous fingers want to tame it. He makes some sort of noise, he thinks, but it’s not precisely a word. It’s enough, anyway, to draw Wei Ying’s attention. Lan Wangji watches as Wei Ying’s smile breaks open like a flower.

Summary
At home, Lan Wangji steels himself before taking off his shirt to investigate the problem on his arm. He isn’t sure which will be worse— to peel away his sleeve and find something horrific, or find nothing at all out of the ordinary.
Still, the only way to know is to take action, so he shoves his anxious uncertainty down into his golden core to burn away into nothing and unbuttons his shirt. Out come the cuff links, set gently back into their case. Finally, he tugs his arms out of their sleeves and, not yet looking at his arm, puts the shirt into its appropriate color-sorted laundry bin.
At last, he lets his gaze move to the back of his left forearm. His breath catches in his throat. The fingers of his right hand move, shaking just slightly, to skim at the half inch spot about halfway between his elbow and wrist.
Hard to the touch, there is a patch of cool white stone on his skin. More accurately, perhaps, there is a patch of his skin that has transmutated into, if he had to hazard a guess, white jade.
OR
In which Lan Wangji is slowly turning into jade and turns to local curse-breaking expert Wei Wuxian for help.

Summary
“Looks like he’s taken a liking to you,” Wei Ying says with a huff. Lan Wangji’s world shifts another ninety degrees when he’s pinned with the full force of Wei Ying’s attention. The guitarist perches on the other half of A-Yuan’s seat and slides an arm around the boy, smoothing back his hair before tweaking his nose. A-Yuan twitches, and Lan Wangji practically burns where Wei Ying had grazed against his shoulder.
Wei Ying leans over and sets his chin lightly against A-Yuan’s head. There’s a gleam to his eye, silver coins that put all other metals in the world to shame. The boy sniffs again, and slowly, under the hollow of the guitarist’s body, he relaxes. “And who,” Wei Ying continues, “has bewitched my little radish?”
--
On a rainy Thursday evening, after his final concert of the season, pianist Lan Wangji ducks into a bookshop, befriends a toddler, falls in love with a guitarist, and, ultimately, rediscovers his passion for music.

Summary
Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.
He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.
Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.
-
Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.

Summary
Wei Ying recently moved near you.” Wen Qing said.
“Why?” Lan Zhan blurted out as heart lurched uncomfortably in his chest.
“Wow, okay.” Wei Ying startled, eyes going wide. “That inspires confidence in my choices.”
“I did not mean it that way. I was simply surprised.” People rarely moved to his city unless they were taking a job with the state. What were the odds that the first man he’d been attracted to in years, outside a movie screen, had just moved there?
Something must be horribly wrong with him. Lan Zhan’s luck was not that good.
Lan Zhan meets a cute boy, misinterprets Wei Ying's attempt to ask him out, and spends months pining for his own boyfriend.
