    Summary

    Could you eat respect, if you were hungry? Would respect keep you warm at night when you were freezing? If a sword were held to your throat, could respect block it?

    When the laughter of your enemies filled your ears, could the respect of a single man let you ignore it? Did it really matter so much, to have someone see you as you truly were and to still decide you were worth something?

    …yes. It seemed that it did.

    (in which Meng Yao, who'd never met a single moral in his life, decides nevertheless to be a good person)

    Summary

    In one of the versions of the myth of Yi, the archer was never pardoned after shooting down nine out of ten suns, and died filled with resentment for both his wife and Heavens' capriciousness. Now, what if he died on the spot that later became Burial Mounds...

     

    A brief study on the karmic implication of the name 'Sunshot Campaign' on its main actors: Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Xichen, Jiang Wanyin, Jin Guangshan and Guangyao, and Nie Mingjue.

    Summary

    "'Count your blessings', they'll say. And after each midnight begins a new day. But don't place your bets on a word that they say - they'll put your life to rest..."

    When Lan Xichen wakes screaming from a nightmare in the middle of the night, it's unusual but not unheard of. In the five years since the collapse of everything he thought he knew in a temple in Yunping, nightmares are his nightly companions after all.

    What IS unheard of, though, is the startled exclamation from his left and the grumpy reply from his right.

    Nie Mingjue on his left.

    Jin Guangyao - no, Meng Yao on his right.

    What the fuck?

    Or: What happens when Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have already gone back in time to fix everything that went wrong and Lan Xichen has, apparently, just been dragged along to share in the 'happily ever after'.

    Summary

    In Nie Mingjue's defense, he hadn't almost dropped Baxia because Prince Lan had smiled at him, it was because he’d stepped close, looked at him from beneath long dark lashes, and murmured, “Prince Nie, you’re even bigger than I remember.”

    Who does that?!

    Maybe he was trying to provoke a qi deviation.

    If so, Nie Mingjue thought darkly, he was doing a very good job.

    Summary

    Death is never ending, but always another step on the cycle of reincarnation. But for the Yiling Laozu? Death is an open door that allows him to be reborn. There won't be an ending for him, not a permanent one. After all, he is the prince who was promised.

    Alternatively:

    Madam Yu finds a five year old Wei Ying and sees the future through him. She takes him back to Lotus Pier, determined to not let anyone destroy her family no matter how much political maneuvering and plotting it takes. Not Wen Ruohan and most certainly not Jin Guangshan.

    Summary

    Nie Huaisang stole happiness from Lan Xichen. He stole peace. If he could just see him, and see for himself exactly what he’s done, and know—that will be enough. Then he’ll be able to paint again, and his hands won’t shake as he does it, and he’ll remember why he ever in his life bothered to put brush to ink to paper.

    After all, a man should have to live with his mistakes. There is no other way to learn from them. His brother believed that.

    Summary

    "I want to be your concubine!" Nie Huaisang interrupts their walk, one cloudy day as they both blush at their hand holding.

    "What?" Jiang Yanli says.

    "You were serious about that!?" Jin Zixuan sputters.

    "Of course I was!" Nie Huaisang puffs. "I want it an official position as soon as you can—I know you probably can't convince your father, but when you become Sect leader, make it official, Jin Zixuan! Make me Lady Jiang's concubine!"

    "I don't think that's how this works," Jin Zixuan says faintly.

    Time traveling NHS lives his best life by becoming JYL's concubine. Somehow this solves all their issues. No, really.

    (...Well, the poison helped, too.)

    Summary

    He tells his sister, "There's a little boy in Yiling with no parents and he's in trouble. We have to go and find him."

    His sister smiles and says, "This is a good story, A-Cheng. Tell me more."

    "It's not a story," he says. He's frustrated by his own childish petulance, but he can't seem to stop it. "I'm from the future. I know."

    His sister laughs, and he glares, and then she clears her throat and stops laughing, but still has a small, indulgent smile. "Of course, A-Cheng," she says. "And what's this little boy's name?"

    "Wei Ying," he says, and his sister's smile freezes. "His name is Wei Ying, and his parents are Zangse Sanren and Wei Changze, and something bad has happened to them. Wei Ying is alone in Yiling and he needs help," he insists.

    Jiang Cheng starts again from the beginning.

    Summary

    “Fucking hypocrites,” Nie Mingjue mutters under his breath because he just knows that depending on what he will find inside the other Sects are going to fight over the right to get something out of it as well.

    Despite the way he is disgusted with is fellow Sect Leaders Nie Mingjue doesn’t let it distract him from his mission. He has absolutely no clue what he’s going to find inside of the room; it could be a well-guarded treasury, it could contain cursed items or it could indeed be a prison for someone or something.

    It’s best to stay on his guard until he has a better understanding of what’s going on, and so he reaches out with Baxia first when he arrives at the door. For all the protective magic around this room it doesn’t seem as if there are any wards that are supposed to keep him out.

    Great. That probably means this room is supposed to keep something inside.

    Jiang Cheng is backing away as Wei Wuxian raises his white flute to his lips. He's still watching, so he knows Wei Wuxian hasn't actually played a note when the explosion flares blindingly bright.

    That's the last thing he remembers before he's waking up lying on the rocky ground.

    "Are you the same Jiang Yanli I have known since infancy?"

    "No."

    "So you've lived another life... but as yourself. You had a child. And you were dead."

    "Yes."

    Summary

    “A-Yao,” says Qin Su, and Jin Guangyao freezes. The small alpha looks like she’s been crying.

    “A-Su! What happened? Are you alright?”

    “A-Yao, we can’t. We can’t get married,” says Qin Su.

    “What do you mean?” he asks, horrified. “We’ve already – did my father say something? But you…” Jin Guangyao isn’t stupid, he knows better than most how fickle alphas could sometimes be, but Qin Su had… she had seemed to genuinely love him. And he loves her.

    (At least he hadn’t told her that he had gotten pregnant, from their time together. He could end the pregnancy, and no one ever had to know.)

    Or: In an A/B/O universe where Meng Yao is an Omega, he's the one who ends up pregnant, and Qin Su is too good to actually marry him knowing what she does. This will save them all.

    Using the dream-sharing incense burner, Lan Xichen enters Mo Xuanyu's dreams to chase down Nie Huaisang, looking for answers to his questions. But Lan Xichen and Mo Xuanyu both have dark memories hidden in their dreamscapes that they aren't fully prepared to encounter.

    梦中不知梦
    但谓平常时
    相与共笑言
    焉问久别离
    有赠若有得
    及觉已失之
    人生在世间
    何异梦寐为

    Jin Guangyao is dead and gone, all his crimes brought to light. Even so, there are people who grieve him. While in mourning, Lan Xichen tries to find a way to spend his time drawing out the Jin Guangyao in his dreams, except something seems to undo his work every day...


    In a dream I do not know I am dreaming,
    but speak normally.
    Talking and laughing together with you;
    how can we speak of our long separation?
    It is as if one receives a gift,
    but has already lost it upon waking.
    Human life in this human world;
    how different it is from one's dreams.
    ----[Bù Zhī Mèng by Méi Yáochén]

    [A rehash of Spring Night Love Song, except set post-canon; adding to the subtext of Lan An and Li Shao, with XiYao as the main couple]
