    Summary

    Which is why Wei Wuxian is severely annoyed that one the first day moving in, there's a translucent man staring out his bedroom window.
    "Are you kidding me?!" Wei Wuxian huffs, voice bouncing down the landing as he drops his bags with a thud at the top of the stairs.
    The man turns from where he's been staring through the dusty pane and looks directly at Wei Wuxian. Their gazes meet and the man's eyes widen like saucers.
    In a deep, disbelieving voice, he murmurs, "You can see me?"
    "Nope!" Wei Wuxian announces and turns around to march right back down the stairs.
    It’s stupid, really. The man is already waiting at the bottom of the staircase when Wei Wuxian gets there.
    Wei Wuxian stops dead, eyeing the spectre. The man's eyes narrow triumphantly.
    “You can see me," he states.
    Wei Wuxian turns around and marches back up the stairs. The man is already there at the top.

    Summary

    “You should make a Tinder account for campaigning,” Nie Huaisang says.

    Wei Ying chokes out, “What?”

    “Sounds like an absolutely terrible idea,” Jiang Cheng says flatly.

    “No, it’s a great idea!” Nie Huaisang insists. “You just swipe right on everyone and then send them a message about how they should vote for you. You’re hot, Wei Ying! People will definitely match with you and then you can swoop in and hit them with the politics!”

    “I don’t even have Tinder,” Wei Ying protests. He’d downloaded the app in first year but had quickly deleted it after a girl responded to his message of wanna get a drink with yeah sure, what time?

    “That can easily be fixed,” Nie Huaisang says.

    Wei Ying downloads Tinder to help him campaign for his student union election. He gets a little more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    When Wangxian decide they can't even wait a day to get married Jiang Cheng is faced with attempting the impossible: planning a wedding in a matter of hours.

    -

     

    “Uh, um, hi, Jiang Cheng, we were just, um, we have to go, it’s really important—” And he actually tried to sneak past him, Lan Zhan’s wrist caught in his hand as he was willingly dragged along.

     

    “So you’re getting married, huh?” Jiang Cheng said, his voice poisonously sweet. Wei Ying flinched guiltily. “You’re on your way to the courthouse now? How nice. Hey, just quickly before you go Wei Ying, do you remember what I said I’d do to the next man to make a-jie cry?”

     

    “...you’d...you’d pull his—”

     

    “I’d pull his spine out through his dick, yes.”

    Summary

    Lan Wangji wasn't privy to the conversations that took place among Yiling staff, but there was always an apologetic, tense edge to the tech's voice when someone else took over his missions. As if Wei Ying had put the fear of God into them if they let anything happen to Lan Wangji when Wei Ying was not personally available to oversee him.

    "Something like that," Mianmian told him. "Anyway, it's not like there's anything for either of you to be jealous over. None of the other agents prefer him."

    Summary

    The person flinches at the glare of the flashlight, flings his hands up into the air and freezes, a sway of leather over his back the only unregulated movement. In his lap, the baby’s head flops over the barrel of his thigh like a snapped branch, and the little thing starts howling again.

    “I’m not security,” Wen Kexing blurts. “But put your hand back under that baby’s neck or I will call someone.”

    Summary

    Meng Yao's sister-in-law is following the Jiang tradition of being evil. Why else would she try to set him up with a married man?

    “I’m pretty sure my sister-in-law is trying to ruin my life.” 

    Lan Huan’s tone is one of genuine curiosity when he asks, “Why would she do that?” 

    “I don’t know yet,” Meng Yao untangles himself from the barre and crosses his arms across his chest, looking up (and up, and up, curse Jiang Yanli for her knowledge of his tastes) at Lan Huan’s very handsome jawline. “But I need you to make less vigorous eye-contact until you bring me a notarized waiver saying your spouse doesn’t care about you hitting on me.”

    Summary

    These days, it has become fashionable to claim to have supernatural blood. A fox spirit in the family tree; a great-grandparent who was a selkie; descendants of the dragon, literally. Even then, people usually pick one of the “sexy" monsters to be related to, and the key is to remain mostly human.

    Unfortunately, Zhou Zishu has realised that the thing about being a werewolf, is that the Wolf stays with you even when the moon is not full. On the bright side, in his line of work, that isn’t always a bad thing.

    Zhou Zishu is a private detective, and Wen Kexing is a mystery that begs to be solved.

    Summary

    The beach is deceptively quiet. Zhou Zishu is used to the bustle of the city, to the never-ending roar of the traffic and electricity and people, and how it fades into background radiation that's so easy to ignore. But out here, in this tiny house perched at the top of the hill overlooking the dunes and waves, the silence tries to deafen him. Without the white noise of constant activity, the crash of the ocean grates on his nerves like the scrape of metal on metal. The wind that blows through the sea grass keeps him awake at night, and the harsh cries of the gulls set his teeth on edge.

    Now as Zhou Zishu sits on his porch, looking over the sunset on the churning water and enjoying the burn of whiskey that slides down his throat, he lets out a bitter laugh. It's a good thing he didn't come here to relax; he came here to die.

    Or the merman/ex-cryptid hunter au!

    Summary

    Lan Zhan looks so sad. He holds out his hand and says "Help."

    "Aish, this man," Wei Wuxian sighs. "What's wrong?"

    Lan Zhan holds out his hand a little further, insistent, and Wei Wuxian sighs again and takes it. A costly mistake that results in getting pulled deeper into Lan Zhan's apartment, squawking protests about how he's still wearing his shoes that Lan Zhan ignores. He leads Wei Wuxian down the hallway to the bedroom at the end. Then he shoves at Wei Wuxian's shoulder until he loses his balance and sits on the edge of the bed. Then he climbs on after him.

     

    Thirteen years after he dies on New Year's Eve, Wei Wuxian is reunited with Lan Wangji.

    “You know there’s an Instagram dedicated to shipping us,” Wen Kexing says in the teachers lounge later that day with barely repressed glee. "I don’t know whether to find it sweet or a bit creepy.”

    “Definitely creepy,” Zhou Zishu declares. “These kids are devils.”

    Summary

    What used to be a wide open cave mouth, propped up with stalactites and mites, has collapsed, leaving a wall of uneven rock. Caving is always a danger, but they’d thought this cave was pretty safe for their study of bat behaviours. The colony living in it is stable, had been here for at least fifty years, and of course the cave has been here for millennia. Nothing going wrong for so long and then a bunch of rocks falling? It’s just his luck, really.

    Summary

    Ah. The Asshole Dog is loose again. Lan Zhan knows that it is not the dog’s fault for being an asshole, but The Asshole Dog is the reason Lan Zhan had a fence put in at a significant personal expense, because the alternative was allowing his garden to be destroyed and for Bunny to be menaced on her leashed outdoor adventures. Unacceptable. The Most Beautiful Man in the World cringes at the barking, scooting further away from the door through a sea of a dozen broken eggs and leaving a yolky trail in his wake.

    “Fuck,” he whimpers, curling into a ball, both hands wrapped around the back of his neck as if to—as if to protect himself, Lan Zhan realizes. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, please—” The Most Beautiful Man in the World begs, voice ragged. He’s definitely hyperventilating now, from what Lan Zhan can tell between the audible sobs. There’s another bark from outside, and The Most Beautiful Man in the World flinches bodily, making a terrified sound that Lan Zhan feels behind his ribs.

    Or: A meet ugly, a dog, and the beginning of something wonderful.

    Summary

    “Nice,” Drunk Man says, into the crook of his neck, and does nothing else. Wei Ying slowly relaxes, allows himself to pat Drunk Man between the shoulder blades, and sighs.

    “Okay,” he says. “Glad you think so.”

    Drunk Man does not respond. Wei Ying wonders if he went back to sleep, and then takes a further moment to wonder why this always happens to him, why he’s always the one helping a heartbroken twink sober up after a terrible night out or sitting on the curb with a sobbing teenager with a fake ID while they wait for her parents to come pick her up. If only he was as shitty a person as White Mike, he could be home asleep right now and this beautiful man would be passed out in a gutter and probably mugged. Wei Ying looks down at the drunk man on his shoulder, thinks about leaving him to fend for himself, and sighs. Nope. Not on his watch.

    Or: A meet-cute at two in the morning.

    Summary

    The guy is so stupid hot that Wei Ying doesn’t turn away in time. He can’t be absolutely sure, but he thinks the guy sees him sort of turned towards him. Not as bad as being caught outright staring at someone on the subway, except that it’s actually probably worse, because they’re in the cultivation gym’s locker room.
