    Summary

    “Oh…” he said, when they trailed into the hospital room. All four of them: Jisung, the wife he doesn’t deserve, their teenage brat and sweet but dim-witted youngest. “Oh…” And with tears—real tears—in his stupid, pretty doe eyes, “She looks just like you, Mina-ssi.”

    He hadn’t used honorifics with her nine months earlier. Or a year before that. “Mina-yah,” he’d said. He’d been drunk, a little sloppy. Funny and handsome, totally impractical, head-in-the-clouds, an artist, Seungmin’s older brother, married. Married. What the fuck. “Noona. What’re the chances?” he’d asked. He'd begged her to tell him, “What’re the chances?”

    Summary

    “What has one voice, four legs in the morning, two in midday, and three in the evening?”

    The bartender is already smiling. “Wrong day.”

    Minho shrugs and drops into his seat.

    “The answer is man.” The bartender slides his drink over. “What’s next? Want to know how I feel about my mom?”

    Minho hides his smile behind the glass. “Just saying hello.”

    The alcohol burns, all the way down. He doesn’t come very often, tries to curtail his indulgence. Even now, it hurts to remember.

    His name is Jisung. Minho had loved him, once. Then he had eaten him.

    Summary

    “You want to be Shippuden Naruto,” said Lan Zhan, as if these words meant anything to him.

    “Yeah, I want to be Slutty Shippuden Naruto who has friends and is beloved by all and believes in the ninja way. It’ll be a group thing. Say you’ll be the Slutty Sasuke to my Slutty Naruto.”

    “Please stop saying Slutty Sasuke,” Lan Zhan said.

    Lan Zhan learns about love lines from Wei Ying, local drunken worm.

    Summary


    He smells of tangerines and distant flowers and he imagines, for a second, telling Seungkwan, Let’s get married. Let’s live here someday and spend the rest of our lives together. And we’ll adopt all the cats and dogs and children you want. And I’ll let you live your life, as long as I get to live my life with you in it.

    Summary

    “Go on a date with me,” Seungkwan says.
    Vernon glances up from where he’s spreading cream cheese on half a bagel, blowing his hair out of his face so he can look at Seungkwan properly. It’s a weekend, which means no work, which means Vernon leaves his bottle of hair gel untouched on the counter and lets his hair do whatever it wants. This specific Saturday, right in that nice pocket of autumn weather that all those love songs seem to be about, there’s a single cowlick at the back of his head, and his bangs are doing that flopping thing right into his eyelashes - all boyish, and rumpled, and cute.
    Seungkwan hates weekends. More specifically, he hates how much he likes Vernon’s hair on weekends.
    “That’s not very romantic,” Vernon says. It takes Seungkwan a few seconds to remember what the context is. “I thought you liked roses and chocolates and stuff.”

    (or: seungkwan accidentally writes his own love story. vernon stares, and waits.)

    Summary

    “I’m not getting up. I refuse. I’m going to become a hermit,” Seungkwan said very seriously from beneath what felt like every blanket in their apartment. “Or a monk. Or a hermited monk. Don’t tell my mother, it would break her heart.”

    “You wouldn’t last a day under a vow of silence,” Jeonghan said, patting the blanket-lump-that-was-once-Seungkwan. “Do you want me to order you coffee? Or food?”

    “I want you to fix my life, hyung.”

    Seungkwan is pretty sure he’s been cursed.

    Summary

    Looking between Lan Zhan, so clearly pleased with himself, and the orange in his hand, Wei Wuxian cannot help but burst into a fit of poorly-contained laughter.

    "Ah, what a hearty meal you've provided for me, Hanguang-Jun!" he sighs as the giggles subside. As far as Lan Zhan’s drunken preoccupation with giving away food goes, this is a bit of a downgrade from two whole, extremely fresh chickens. Or perhaps Wei Ying has simply become spoiled.

    (Wei Wuxian comes back from his walkabout. Lan Wangji gives Emperor's Smile another try and worries for his friend's dietary habits.)

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian wakes up stoned to the gills after an appendectomy and wants all the nurses to admire his beautiful, perfect husband.

    Lan Wangji knows it’s just a ruse so he can visit in the family-only recovery room, but… well, it’s pretty nice to be able to hold his best friend’s hand.

    Or: that video where the guy hits on his own wife after surgery, except kind of the opposite.

    Summary

    In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.

    This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji thought it was just a dream but the pain of being pierced in the chest by his own sword, by his own self whose appearance was taller and older was too real. The ground under his feet disappeared and he fell, and fell, and continued falling until a voice he thought he would never hear again broke his fall and suddenly, he was no longer falling. It was the voice he had so dearly missed.

    Wei Ying's voice.

    ----A Time Travel Fix-It where Lan Wangji goes back in time to his first fateful encounter with Wei Wuxian for a chance to rewrite history.

    Summary

    To his unbridled horror, Wei Wuxian sees his face up on the giant screen in real time for the entire stadium to see. Still laughing as his face takes a moment to catch up with the sheer mortification he’s feeling, A-Yuan perched on his shoulders as the Lan Wangji cape drapes over them.

    There’s also commentary.

    “—scenes from the stands here, this dad and his son making for an adorable twosome all decked out in support for local hero Lan Wangji—”

    “—Speaking of, our man seems to have taken a little tumble—”

    Wei Wuxian finds Lan Wangji on the field. The ball is nowhere near him but he seems to have fallen inexplicably backwards, sitting on the grass as he looks up at the giant screen.

    Right up at the footage of him.

    (AU where A-Yuan is professional footballer Lan Wangji's biggest fan, and his babysitter Wei Wuxian wants nothing more than to forget his days as the photographer of their school football team, calling out to the captain from the stands just so he'd look around at him.)

    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

    “Come on, A-Cheng!” Wei Ying says. “Think of all the hapless youths who are watching hanguang_jun’s channel and being duped into thinking that’s what university is like! It’s not fair on the kids!”

    Jiang Cheng appears to be entirely unmoved by this highly logical argument.

    Lan Zhan runs a popular studytuber YouTube channel. Wei Ying decides to parody his videos. Things escalate from there.
