    Summary

    It wasn’t that Wei Wuxian didn't know how to say “no” to things.
    He was very good at all words, as a matter of fact. Speaking was one of his Top Things, and he resented anyone who would say otherwise. Wei Wuxian could say no whenever he wanted.
    It was just that. Why say “no” when “yes” was right there?
    “You want me to invent a what?” Wei Wuxian asked, excitement already ringing through his body.
    Lan Sizhui shot an anxious look at Lan Jingyi before answering. “A duplication talisman.”
    “Not for anything evil,” Lan Jingyi interjected suddenly. “We’re not going to do anything nefarious with it, you know, we just --”
    “Yes,” Wei Wuxian interrupted.
    “-- thought it would be helpful to … wait, really?”
    “Yes,” Wei Wuxian repeated, fingers already itching to get to work as the possibilities stretched out before him, an inviting new path brimming with opportunity.
    He smiled.
    Something, not quite fearful, but definitely apprehensive crossed over Lan Sizhui’s face as he wondered if they had just made a horrible mistake.

    Summary

    “Don’t look, Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying says.

    Lan Zhan closes his eyes. He hears Wei Ying take the last few steps, and then there is a sound of heavy canvas being ripped apart, and when he opens them again, Wei Ying is in the painting—falling through grasping tendrils of black smoke, his hair whipping around his face and lashed across his neck, his limbs outstretched, his red robes tangled around his ankles. His mouth is curved into a thin smile, blood-smeared, determined and vicious.

    ⌻ ⌼ ⌻

    Wei Ying spends his days trapped in a painting and his nights wandering Paris, trying to feel alive. Lan Zhan is his guard and keeper, tasked with returning him to his museum before it opens each morning. This is how they fall in love, in the moments between sunrise and opening hour.

    Summary

    A while passes before Lan Qiren allows him to rise from his bow of repentance. The whorls in the wooden floor are his childhood friends, punishment upon punishment served in their company. They try their best to soothe the churning in his gut.

    “You have been bestowed an honour like no other. You are the chosen disciple.” Lan Qiren retrieves something from behind his desk and passes it to him. Heavy and cold, Lan Wangji grips the object with both hands, and then startles when he sees that he has been handed a sword. A disciple is not permitted to wield weapons, even the tools they work with must always remain blunt and dull. And yet here he is holding a sword, heavy with spiritual power.

    “The fate of the Cloud Recesses lies on your shoulders. Let the heavens down and eternal damnation shall await you.”

    ———

    The Cloud Recesses is a place of silence and virtue, of righteous victory and truth.

    But something ancient and indestructible lurks just beyond these four noiseless marble walls. A force so evil it cannot be named. And it threatens to destroy everything Lan Wangji knows, everything he believes to be right and true.

    Summary

    “He smiles too much,” Lan Wangji says, frowning at the pixelated headshot of the instructor. Flippancy is not necessarily forbidden, but it is strongly discouraged, especially when one is a thousand feet above ground instructing the light of someone else’s life.

     

    Lan Sizhui is going for his Sword Flight Licence. Lan Wangji is panicked.

    Summary

    Once, Wei Ying had loved freely.

    Loved with a strength that twined deep into his bones, through the rivers that cut under his skin, between the sinews that wove the fibers of his being. Loved with an intensity that shook the very core, the very foundations of himself.

    Years ago, he’d ambulated along a tightrope, arms outstretched, and tumbled headfirst into a love that had nearly ruined him.

    --

    Two ex-lovers, an aspiring poet and an international best-selling author, are reunited at a book signing after five years apart.

    "Sorry," Wei Ying says again when the combination comes to an end. "I totally didn't mean to kick you."

    "Pay attention," Lan Zhan says.

    Wei Ying kicks Lan Zhan three more times at the barre. He apologizes each time.

    "Are you okay?" Wei Ying asks when barre exercises are over.

    "Are you incapable of following a beat?" Lan Zhan replies.

    Summary

    “Yeah! Oh, my name is Gojo Satoru, by the way.” He hides the hurt behind his teeth, his grin wide and friendly. He thought he’d only have to introduce himself once to someone he called his best friend. It’s strange to repeat words from more than a decade ago to the same person. “You can call me Satoru.” He hopes he calls him Satoru.

    “I’m Geto,” he says back. You were Suguru to me, Gojo thinks. “Nice to meet you, Satoru.”

    “Nice to meet you, too.” He leans against the wall beside him, tries to look nonchalant as he does. “So, do you come here often?”

     

    Geto thinks Gojo is just a lonely guy who wants friends. Gojo just wants to know if he remembers him, even just a little bit.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

    “I think so,” Sizhui says.

    “To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

    “Yes,” Sizhui says.

    “So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

    Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”
