Summary
"...For me?" Jin Ling looks bewildered. "You don't have to, I can buy it myself."
"We know. You could probably buy the whole shop," says Jingyi, not unkindly. "That's not the point."
"I don't understand," says Jin Ling.
"It's pretty. It would look nice on you. And also I would like to give it to you. Sometimes it's just that simple." says Sizhui.
Post-canon casefic after Sizhui is back from his year's travels in Qishan.- Language:

Summary
The thing with musical prodigies is that they're soloists, and soloists play alone. He doesn't want to play alone anymore.
-
"A summer guest lecture series? Oh, very nice. I wish I could sit in on that."
"Do you also play the piano?"
"Not even a little bit," says Wei Ying cheerfully. "But I'm sure you'd have a lot of thoughts on musicality that would be relevant regardless."
"Oh," says Lan Zhan. He seems to be searching for something else to say. "I believe it is oversubscribed," he says finally.
"As it should be," says Wei Ying, and does not tell him that he has all of Lan Zhan's albums downloaded onto his phone, listened to over and over when he's on a train, a plane, waiting for a taxi, has followed his career since he overheard half a Mendelssohn when they were fifteen.

Summary
The problem with CT Wei was, lamentably, not incompetence. Incompetence was a failing no one at the Gusu Bureau of Cultivation could forgive. Had he been incompetent, he would have already been dismissed from his position. No, the problem with CT Wei was far worse: he was friendly.
There's a new forensic cultivator in the GBC.
Lan Wangji is unimpressed.

Summary
“What exactly did you want my feedback on?” Lan Zhan asks, bending one knee to cock a hip and putting an arch in his back. He laces his voice with just a hint of innuendo. Cobalt is never too excited about anything, so it wouldn’t do to seem too eager or too horny.
Gorgeous Newbie inhales, squaring his shoulders, and blurts, “Would you watch my stand-up routine and tell me if it needs anything?”
Lan Zhan blinks. The music is loud in here, like it is everywhere in the club. Surely he misheard. “What?”
“I have a stand-up routine,” Gorgeous Newbie repeats, more confidently this time. “I would really appreciate it if you could watch it and give me feedback.”
Or: What happens in the private room, stays in the private room... Until it doesn't.
