    Summary

    Troy crouches down, the cold of the ice sinking into his pants as he hovers uselessly above Shane.

    “Shane?” He says quietly, “Shane, can you hear me?”

    There’s a glazed, dazed look to his eyes, unfocused as they dart around, and Troy panics.

    “Ilya!” He shouts at the Alpha. “Shane, Rozanov.”

    Troy knows that Shane is perfectly capable of handling the sexist chirps and overeager body slams, but when the opposition takes it too far, Ilya proves exactly why you don’t mess with his Omega.

    Summary

    Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.

    He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.

    Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.

    -

    Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is perfectly content to be a beta in the modern-day Jiang sect, his status making no complications for his position as Head Disciple. His life’s course seems set until he crosses paths with Lan Wangji, Second Jade of the Lan and the rarest of occurrences, a late-blooming presentation, derails Wei Wuxian from the safety of his simple expectations.

    Unable to remain with the sect that raised him, Wei Wuxian is plunged into an uncertain situation where he has to forge a new future with the one person he never thought he’d be courted by: the remote, rule-bound Lan Wangji who will barely spare him a glance. Wei Wuxian has never known a life where his own wishes are a factor but maybe, just maybe, he can find what he wants with the only alpha he wants.

    If he can get that stubborn Lan Wangji to give him the time of day, that is.

    Summary

    “Wei Wuxian,” Qing-jie says, and, well, using his stage name can’t be good, hm? “Do you have any idea the trouble you’ve caused me?”

    Wei Ying pouts. “It wasn’t just my fault.” And it wasn’t, he’d seen the pictures. Really, he’d looked like the victim, backed up against the wall, hands held up above his head by one of the other man’s. They were big. And veiny. “And, besides, you can’t see our faces.” The other man’s head of unbound shoulder-length hair covered his entirely.

    -

    Or, Idol Wei Wuxian under Nightless City of the band Burial Mounds is photographed kissing new co-star Idol Lan Xichen, under Lan Entertainment. Allegedly.

    Summary

    In the black, twin points of glowing red appear, fierce and burning eyes that stop Lan Wangji in his tracks. He stares, swallowing thickly, before taking another step. This one is met with a growl, almost like an animal and hardly like a man.

    “Get out.”

    The voice is low, dripping with warning, and Wangji thinks that listening might be wise.

    “No,” he says instead.

    The bodiless voice laughs, a haunting thing that echoes in the stone walls.

    “They sent me such a pretty young master,” it drawls. Wangji can almost feel the voice caressing his skin, and shivers. “Shame on them.”

     

    (The Yiling Patriarch is taken captive. Lan Wangji is tasked with keeping his power at bay.)

     

    COMPLETE.
