    Summary

    As if all the breath was knocked out of him, he gasped loudly, taking in the sight before him. The nighttime skyline of Beijing was beautiful, he always knew that, but to see it from the top of this building, reflected in the river below them, caught him off guard. His eyes hurt with how brightly the city lights cast a glow against the dark blanket of sky, but he kept his eyes wide, taking everything in. The way the city moved, the way the city breathed, the way it winked at him, it was the most perfect view.

    He felt the hand, still in his, squeeze, bringing him out of his reverie.

    Scratch that, the nighttime skyline was not the most perfect view.

    The boy standing in front of him, arms outstretched, hand in his, hair flying in the wind as he smiled widely back at him with the city lights behind him. His lungs screamed with the way the wind seemed to punch the air out of them. His heart pounded as Yibo’s smile grew impossibly wider. Despite the absence of light on the rooftop, he somehow caught a glint from his eye flashing at him, asking, begging him to come closer.

    That.

    This was the most perfect view.

    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.

    Summary

    Wei Ying's life is good; small, but good. He has Wen Ning and Wen Qing, and can't ask for much more. He's settled, even if he's not ecstatically happy with how things have turned out.

    Until Lan Zhan comes back into his life.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian opens the letter and skims through, feeling his frown deepen with every line. “Oh. A request from Yiling. This man Tong Shen writes, 'I can’t explain what’s happening — you wouldn’t believe me if I tried. The hills are moving and they are hungry. Please send aid, Hanguang-jun, this humble one begs you.' Well, my curiosity is certainly piqued."

    A few months after the events of Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a night hunt of an unusual sort: The Burial Mounds are spreading, quickly and with no apparent explanation. 

    In Wei Wuxian, it brings old, long-buried things bubbling to the surface.

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan says, and when Wei Ying turns around, Lan Zhan has followed him into the kitchen and is doing something with the empty wine glass that could almost be termed fidgeting. His fingertips tense and relax, and Lan Zhan takes a deep breath and squares his shoulders almost imperceptibly. “Would you like me to cut your hair for you?”

    Wei Ying’s brain skids to a halt. Oh. Huh. That would. That would be a hell of a lot easier, wouldn’t it? Lan Zhan would at least be able to see and touch the back of his head at the same time, and that’s half the battle. Even if it’s not a good haircut, it would be something, and it probably wouldn’t end with Wei Ying in tears, and it would end with Wei Ying having shorter hair, which is the only thing he really wants right now.

    “Yeah,” he says, a little awed. “If you don’t mind then that would be great, Lan Zhan.” He can almost feel the breeze on his undercut again, spine tingling in anticipation.

    Or: Lan Zhan offers to help out with Wei Ying's quarantine growout... with sexy results!

    Summary

    Lan Zhan's alarm goes off sharply at five and he switches it off immediately. He can hear Wei Ying moving around in the apartment — Wei Ying frequently does not realize how late it is and Lan Zhan tries to avoid anything that would make Wei Ying realize that he is awake. Not that he doesn't want to see Wei Ying, he always does. However he knows with a certainty born of many years of living together that Wei Ying will get distracted talking to him and often forget to sleep entirely. Wei Ying's body needs the rest, the dark crescents under his eyes testament to this fact.

    So it is not unusual for him to lay in bed listening to Wei Ying patter around the apartment. The walls are thin, he can hear the running of the faucet as Wei Ying gets a drink of water and the eventual thud of Wei Ying's door as he makes his way into his own room. He can even hear the faint rustling as Wei Ying shucks off his clothes and the soft noise his body makes when it hits his bed.

    He prepares to rise, sitting up in bed, when he hears it. At first he thinks he’s imagining it, the heavy panting and low soft noises coming from the other side of the wall. Then he hears a long, low, satisfied-sounding moan from the other side of the wall.

    Summary

    Ah. The Asshole Dog is loose again. Lan Zhan knows that it is not the dog’s fault for being an asshole, but The Asshole Dog is the reason Lan Zhan had a fence put in at a significant personal expense, because the alternative was allowing his garden to be destroyed and for Bunny to be menaced on her leashed outdoor adventures. Unacceptable. The Most Beautiful Man in the World cringes at the barking, scooting further away from the door through a sea of a dozen broken eggs and leaving a yolky trail in his wake.

    “Fuck,” he whimpers, curling into a ball, both hands wrapped around the back of his neck as if to—as if to protect himself, Lan Zhan realizes. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, please—” The Most Beautiful Man in the World begs, voice ragged. He’s definitely hyperventilating now, from what Lan Zhan can tell between the audible sobs. There’s another bark from outside, and The Most Beautiful Man in the World flinches bodily, making a terrified sound that Lan Zhan feels behind his ribs.

    Or: A meet ugly, a dog, and the beginning of something wonderful.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan shuts his eyes in exasperation. Lan Huan’s “Head Up and Heels Down,” shirt is confusing enough to the average person without being actively suggestive. (Every time Wei Ying sees it he proceeds to sing, “Heels down, head up, that’s the way we like to fuck!” under his breath, so the line for “actively suggestive” is… mutable.) He can’t imagine the kind of top stampede his extremely gay brother would cause by going out of the house in a t-shirt announcing, for all intents and purposes, his desire to be the star of an orgy. He tries very hard not to picture either the stampede or the orgy.

    “Why would you even want sixteen hands between your legs, anyway?” Wei Ying asks the room at large, sounding genuinely curious. “What would they do? I feel like at a certain point there’s, like, diminishing returns, right?”

    Ah. The mental image of Lan Huan’s Top Stampede has been replaced with a mental image that is both better and worse: Wei Ying as the centerpiece of a nine-person orgy.

    Or: A Horse Girl throw pillow, and what comes after.

    Summary

    “Gege,” he tried again, reaching out once more. As he did, his hand skimmed over Xie Lian’s hip, and came to the startling realisation that not only was his arm bare but his hip was as well which could only mean one thing. Xie Lian had not only taken off his shirt, but also the boxers.
    Hua Cheng was not going to survive this.
    “Mmh, San Lang?” Xie Lian called, seeming to have been woken up by who knows what? Hua Cheng’s calling? His fidgeting? His growing erection pressing against his bare ass, which only became more persistent with each movement Xie Lian made?
    ___________________

    Or - Xie Lian’s apartment becomes flooded, and Hua Cheng happily offers him a place to stay as well as a change of clothes. He had not expected however for Xie Lian, his best friend and long time crush, to undress in sleep and then press his perfect ass to Hua Cheng’s groin.

    Summary

    Two hearts, two fates, both intertwined,
    a love borne from the Abyss.
    A contract of eternity, bound and signed,
    by the join of hands and a lover’s kiss.

    Zhongli has renounced his immortality and is ready to live a mundane mortal life in seclusion. His plans are uprooted, however, when he is approached by a shifty redhead with a strange request. Childe is a loyal mouthpiece of the Snezhnayan queen, tasked with a covert mission to use Zhongli to gather the whereabouts of an object lost after the Archon War. As the unlikely pair are forced to work together, their journey uncovers a threat far greater than either could have ever imagined. Beliefs challenged, and hearts on the line, the two men grow closer and find the kind of love that both had previously deemed impossible.

    Summary

    “You told me once that you didn’t like seeing me in pain. Or was that a lie too?”

    Zhongli is silent. Then, softer than the man has ever spoken, he allows his voice to reach past his façade: "You may go." Childe doesn’t miss the crack in his voice, the way his vocal cords cannot handle that he’s well and truly lost.

    And Childe knows he’s done it, he’s finally broken the man, and believes with his whole heart that it’s what he deserves after making him believe for a second he was worth anything at all. Feelings like those were dangerous, and sometimes Signora’s words had some merit to them.

    “Goodbye.” He manages.

    And when his eyes flutter open, and the cold bristles his skin as he’s reminded he’s back in Snezhnaya, he can’t help the tears that soak his face. He can’t control the wails he lets out, and he most of all can’t control his darkest temptations that wish, with all his might, that Zhongli truly loved him.


    in which childe can't quite grasp the concept of zhongli's betrayal, his permanent headache comes back to pinch him in his side, and zhongli realises he's fucked up. well and truly, this time.

    Summary

    "Nobody told you. Nobody explained. You're just shoved out kicking and screaming into this human life, without any idea why any of it feels the way it feels, or why this confusion, which feels like it's … a hair's breadth from terror or pain. You know, just when you think you do understand, it'll turn out you're wrong. You didn't understand anything at all."

    After taking out the Rit Zien, Cas finds he has no where to go and asks Dean if he can spend the night with him in his motel room.
