    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

    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

    When the Wen Sect attacks Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji is forced to summon a creature that the clans sealed away long ago; the Yiling Laozu, a huli jing bound inside the Stygian Fox Amulet.

    But is the Yiling Laozu truly the monster others claim he is? And once the war is over, will Lan Wangji be able to bear sealing him back inside the Amulet?

    Summary

    After his death at the first siege of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is thrown back in time to when he was nine years old, just before Jiang Fengmian took him to Lotus Pier with its wavering affection and unpayable mountain of debts. He decides to take the second chance he has been offered, to live freely and without regrets.

    As it turns out, a life without regrets involves:
    1. Avoiding all attempts to be adopted so you can launch your career as a rogue-cultivating-assassin, while
    2. Juggling a hit-list comprised of the cultivation world’s Who’s Who, and
    3. Desperately missing your not-boyfriend who picked the worst ever timing to confess his undying love for you.

    Murder and mayhem to follow.

    Summary

    "How's that Lan Zhan? Are we friends now?"

     

    Everyone looks at him. Wei Ying with hope. His brother with nervousness. The grandmother across the way with expectation. All of their faces fall with his answer.

     

    "No." He doesn't know Wei Ying, who is loud and who is dirty. He touches Lan Zhan without asking and even though he's promised not to do it again, he can't undo what's already been done. And worst of all, most heinous of all, he's ruined his yarn. How can they be friends so suddenly?

     

    Maybe by the end of summer, though. They'll need play dates. Time to learn each other. Lan Zhan can teach him about the important of yarn and how to take care of toys so they don't break. And how to speak quieter and keep his hands to himself. And maybe Lan Zhan will be willing to learn a few things from him, too. He can't imagine what those things are now, but it's only fair.

     

    Maybe they can be friends, by the end of summer.
