    Summary

    Xingchen went first, as they both knew he would. He had gone once already, and he was ready to let go. One moment he was there, and in the next he was gone, like a sigh on the wind.

    - - -

    After Xiao Xingchen's second death, Song Lan returns to the house that was their home, one last time.

    Summary

    There was a sudden howl outside, a gust against the door that made it rock in its frame. The light was fading fast, and Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but think of all the things that might be in these mountains, supernatural or not.

    “Ah what I wouldn’t give for a jar of wine,” he said, speaking over his fear, tamping it down. “Even just ordinary village wine. How will we while away the evening by the fire? I don’t suppose you know any interesting stories.”

    “No,” Lan Zhan said, shortly.

    “Or campfire songs,” Wei Wuxian mused. “I know you have your guqin, but it isn’t the same. Well, it’ll have to be a game of questions, then.”

    He glanced up and over at Lan Zhan, hoping to catch a grimace of dismay. Lan Zhan did not disappoint. Maybe other people wouldn’t have read that slight contraction of Lan Zhan’s perfect features the same way, but Wei Wuxian wasn’t other people. He laughed.

    “First question,” he said. “What’s it like being an alpha?”

    Summary

    All of Yiling is Wen Qing’s territory, and her office is the center of her domain. Herbs fill Wen Qing’s office with a rich, earthy scent. Expensive and delicate medical instruments perch on rough-hewn wooden shelves. Medical texts sit piled neatly on the table, one scroll unrolled to read. A low bed waits to one side. It’s for patients, usually.

    The room’s walls have one blank stretch. Luo Qingyang wants to shove Wen Qing up against it.

    When the Yiling Wei sect hosts a diplomatic meeting, Mianmian and Wen Qing continue their discussion after hours.

    Summary

    “And this was Lan Wangji’s idea?” asks Nie Huaisang, looking over at Lan Wangji consideringly. He’d always suspected that the younger jade was likely kinkier than most would imagine, but he’d also thought him possessive. That he’d be willing to share Wei Wuxian this way was surprising… and appealing.

    “It is what Wei Ying wants,” says Lan Wangji serenely. Right. As if one of the first demands hadn’t been that Lan Wangji would be present for all of it.

    “Is that a yes, then?” asks Wei-xiong, looking not unlike an enthusiastic puppy, all big eyes and bigger smile.

    “Of course.” says Nie Huaisang. He’s always down to try new things, and to be honest he’s a bit flattered to be the one asked. “Wei-xiong, wasn’t I the one who introduced you to such ideas, all those years ago?” he arches his eyebrow careful to hide his grin behind his fan.

    (Or: Post canon, WangXian love their rape roleplays... except Lan Zhan just can't pretend to not be into his husband. Enter Nie Huaisang, some kink negotiation, and a really incredible night of role-play.)

    Summary

    “It’s like my ad says,” Tang Fan says. “We can talk. Or you can talk, and I can listen, or I can talk to you. About anything. Or … I could talk dirty to you?”

    Tang Fan does have regulars who want sex stuff, but really, what he does only qualifies as phone sex maybe one call in twenty. Mostly, it’s just Tang Fan chatting with lonely people. But he can handle the sexy stuff, obviously, and if the Man with the Sexy Voice wants sexy, Tang Fan is very willing to — actually, he decides, a little unnerved by his own enthusiasm, better not to finish that thought. This is a business transaction, after all. This is the gig economy.

    “Not this time,” the Man with the Sexy Voice says, almost apologetic, like he’s forgotten that he’s paying Tang Fan for this. “Just — maybe if you could talk to me about something you find interesting?”

    In which Tang Fan develops some rather inconvenient feelings for a late-night caller to his phone sex line.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji arrives at Nevernight Manor expecting a quick exorcism, but his host is startlingly uncooperative. There's seemingly no ghost or monster to be found -- whatever Wen Ruohan's elderly stepmother says -- but he's subjected to nightly parties and jazz music. Worse, the irreverent gardener, Wei Wuxian, is far too handsome for Lan Wangji's good, but he can't stay away, even as he becomes increasingly convinced that the glittering façade is not what it seems.

    And something isn't quite right with Wei Wuxian himself.

    Summary

    “Hernando, Daniela,” says Lito, his eyes big and serious as he takes Hernando’s hand in one of his, and Dani’s in another. “We are pregnant.”

    Hernando immediately looks to Dani, speechless. She goes wide-eyed and shakes her head emphatically enough that her long earrings smack her cheeks. “Uh, that’s news to me!”

    Five times Lito tries to be a good cluster parent, and one time he succeeds.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji will sometimes have to be apart; Wei Wuxian knows this. That’s just how life goes. That doesn’t mean he has to like it, nor does it mean he can’t take measures to minimize the distance.

    Wei Wuxian pulls the final stitch taut and ties off the thread, humming to himself as he snips off the ends. He sets the needle and scissors aside and lifts the small figure, examining his handiwork.

    He wonders what Lan Wangji will think of his solution, and smiles.

    Summary

    Xichen looks at his sworn brothers lying across the room. They seem so quiet. So still. He can barely believe what Wei Wuxian is saying. The rest of the world fades out as he stares.

    “So what can be done?” he whispers.

    “As far as I can see, we have two choices. Choice one: we destroy them completely. It would be difficult, but I think it could be done. But… it would be destroying them completely. It would mean shattering their souls.”

    Xichen doesn’t feel the floor as he drops to his knees; it is just that one moment he is standing, and the next he is not. He isn’t even seeing them anymore, his eyes have unfocused, and yet they are all he can see.

    Could he do it? Could he shatter their souls - destroy their very essence, prevent them from ever reincarnating, ever getting an opportunity to find peace - truly and utterly severing their link to this world and making fully certain that Xichen will never meet them again - all for the sake of the greater good?

    “Choice two,” Wei Wuxian continues, “...we wake them up.”

    Summary

    “...the elders have ordered the child to be removed to the wet nurse. Madam Lan will be permitted to see him once a month once her confinement has ended.”

    Lan Qiren considered this for a moment; the long years of watching his sister-in-law waste away, the grief Wangji and Xichen carried throughout their lives after her death, the pain their family had suffered through because of it.

    And then, channelling his gremlin nephew-in-law who sat so close to the surface of his thoughts, Lan Qiren set his shoulders back and replied, “Over my dead fucking body.”

     

    On the heels of a great tragedy, Lan Qiren finds himself sent back in time to his youth. He decides to save, in order, his sister-in-law, his best friend, his best friend’s husband, and the only sect leader who may have a chance of standing against Wen Ruohan.

    It takes less than a handful of seconds for the line to be cut, less than that for the fish-boy-creature-thing to disappear down the beach, into the dark waves, leaving only an ident in the sand and a handful of broken fishing line to prove he was ever real.
    “Oh.” Xiao Xingchen brings the tips of his fingers to his mouth. Song Lan realizes, belated, that he's bleeding.
    “What—” Song Lan finally, finally steps closer, his legs shaking with the aftereffects of adrenaline. It already feels like a dream
    "The fins," Xingchen says, and he sounds awed.

    Summary

    “We needed the space.” Lan Wangji says, by way of explanation, carefully placing a stack of paper between them. His tone is somewhat apologetic.

    Lan Sizhui freezes, still as stone, as his eyes come to rest on the messily scrawled characters on the first page. His own hand, years old.

    “I was tasked with clearing your room out and moving your belongings from the junior disciples’ quarters to your new home.” His father continues, “Two of the boxes you were keeping old papers in were moldy. I laid them out in the sun to air them out. I was not intending to invade your privacy.” He finishes softly.

    Sizhui can’t look up, mouth open in shock, tears welling up in his eyes. He’d almost forgotten about these papers. They should have never seen the light of day.

    Lan Wangji accidentally stumbles onto the erotica Lan Sizhui wrote when he was a teenager. Sizhui is mortified, especially considering just who the things he wrote were about.

    Summary

    To treat the flower-spitting sickness, there is a little-known third option. A skilled surgeon can carefully carve out the infection, transplant it to a new host, and—if it survives the process—not only the flowers, but all the love that bore them, will take root.

    For Wen Ruohan, this is a form of torture. His enemies have died in agony, all the while desperately in love with him.

    For Meng Yao, suspected of treason, it is his only chance to stay by Wen Ruohan's side.

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji says. “The curse is immutable.” And, luckily, temporary. Vengeful spirits do not care for love or marriage. With that spite, as the dying act of the last of the ghouls, Lan Wangji and Wei Ying are forbidden to touch one another for the duration of the night.

    Wei Ying widens his eyes. “Lan Zhan, isn’t our love even more immutable? Really! You won’t dare to try? I’m wounded.”
