    Summary

    Jiang Fengmian convinces Yu Ziyuan to look for Wei Ying as soon as he hears about Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren dying.

    This changes everything--and the Jiangs are all the better for it. The Wens might have some other ideas.

    OR

    It was time for me to write a Jiang Fengmian fix-it.

    now I greet you from the other side
    of sorrow and despair
    with a love so vast and shattered
    it will meet you everywhere

    Summary

    “Lovely weather for a funeral.”

    “Atmospheric,” Lan Zhan agreed.  Expecting, as had happened so often in his life, for the handsome stranger to stiffen at the sound of his voice, for that smile to turn false and brittle as they made their excuses.

    “You have a lovely voice,” they said instead, as if they weren’t calling eroded gravel beautiful when their voice was the finest jade.

    It was far from a typical compliment, but Lan Zhan was so starved for praise his heart clenched in his chest.

    On the day of his father's funeral, Lan Zhan receives a box of letters from his long-missing mother. His quest to find her leads him to a spooky, kooky, and loving family who just might want him to stay forever. (And of course, to the man of his dreams).

    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!
