Summary
He was fourteen when it all got to be too much.
Fourteen, and still unmarked.
Not everyone had a soulmate, of course. He told himself that a lot, trying to rationalize away his pain. And even of those who did, and who were fortunate enough to find them, it wasn’t always romantic. Sometimes your soulmate didn’t match your physical desires, and stayed platonic. Sometimes you met your soulmate too late, when you had already made commitments to another.
There were a lot of ancient dramas about that sort of situation.
Still, Jiang Cheng had no scars that weren’t his own.
---
Soulmates share scars. For a long time, Jiang Cheng believes he is alone, until he is not.

Summary
“Why don’t you have a qiankun bag?” Wei Wuxian is asking as they approach the house. “And where’s your sword? And what are you wearing?”
Jiang Cheng huffs an annoyed breath. “You told me to be discreet, travel as a normal person. So Sandu’s at home. And I didn’t bring a qiankun bag or anything like that because…well, I didn’t want to be tracked, if anyone could sense it.”
He’d traded his silks for wool, dressed his hair in a simple topknot, packed a bag, and gone. At the very first indication from Wei Wuxian that he was wanted.
Pathetic.
Still, it's been a long time since he’s been able to navigate the world without being Sect Leader Jiang, without being a well-known cultivator. It's kind of refreshing. He can kind of—if he squints—see the appeal, understand why Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji dropped out of the cultivation world, and are hiding away in this cabin in the woods.
---
Jiang Cheng doesn't expect that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji would want him coming anywhere near their cottagecore dream life.
Jiang Cheng is sorely mistaken.

Summary
“Right,” Song Lan says. A headache has been pounding in his left temple for hours already; he sounds shorter than he strictly means to. “What exactly am I looking at?”
“Peeps tasting menu,” Xue Yang says, breezily, rearranging his display of neon-colored…things. Getting neon-colored sugar over their nice charcuterie board. “Duh.”
---
Xue Yang has discovered that Peeps come in flavors. Naturally, he must sample them all, and force his boyfriends to do the same.

Summary
Wei Ying smiles up at him. “Ah, Lan Zhan, you’re too good to me. Isn’t that nice of Lan Zhan, butterfly boy?”
Wei Yuan is occupied, making his paper rabbits either fight or kiss. “Bunny boy,” he corrects, sternly. “Not butterfly anymore.”
“Oh, right, of course.” He catches Lan Zhan’s eye again and something passes between them, something Lan Zhan cannot interpret.
He’d thought he was done with Wei Ying breaking his heart.
But maybe it will never end.

Seven years ago, Wei Ying broke up with Lan Zhan.
Today, he showed up on Lan Zhan's doorstep with his son.

Summary
In retrospect, Lan Xichen should have already known something was really wrong. Jiang Cheng’s letters to him of late had vaguely mentioned some troubles in the Yunmeng territory, some negative activity that could not be pinned down to a curse or easily-dispelled resentful energy. And then, the letters had stopped.
Jiang Cheng did not write to him every day, Lan Xichen reasoned. It was not uncommon for them both to lose communication entirely for a week, even two or three, when things got particularly busy. It was part of the cost of living so far apart, and so Lan Xichen only sent his missives off as usual, and did not worry about the lack of reply.
But then Jiang Cheng wrote to Wangji. No. To the Chief Cultivator.

When disaster falls in Yunmeng, Lan Xichen starts to think about what he wants.

Summary
Jiang Wanyin appraises him from head to toe, then turns to resume the direction he had been walking in before catching Xichen. “Come on, then.”
When Xichen doesn’t immediately follow, frozen in hesitation, Jiang Wanyin turns back, that familiar world-weary glower on his face. “I’m not going to debauch you or anything; I hardly have the energy right now and anyway it will be a mutual decision if debauching is to take place. I promise you safe passage to my room. So come on, already.”

Summary
“It’s not like I wanted to have feelings,” Jin Rulan grumbles.
“Highly inconvenient things, feelings,” Huaisang agrees. “I don’t have anything to do with them, myself. Which circles us back around to the question: why are you asking me for this?”
“Because you know about poetry and art and all those sorts of romantic things. And also…I heard a rumor about some of your books.”
“No.”
“No, what?”
“Tales of my perversions are greatly exaggerated, and I am not giving pornography to a child.”
-
Jin Ling needs advice on love. His choice of who to turn to is…questionable, to say the least.

Summary
Wei Wuxian still isn’t quite sure how his sister cajoled him into a night out to watch her not-boyfriend’s band. (Not exactly boyfriend, anyway; Yanli and the Peacock have been dancing around each other for years, now, and it drives Wei Wuxian up the wall that they won’t just put a name to what they are, already.) She’d been pestering him about this for two weeks, but normally Wei Wuxian can withstand campaigns of coercion and guilt trips easily enough. He’s been on the other end of them enough that he sees through all the tricks. But at one point, the words “Come on, A-Xian, you’re not heartless like Jiang Cheng, are you?” were used, and that was probably what finally tipped him over the edge. In any case, he’s here now.
But it’s only when the band comes to the stage and he catches sight of the guitarist that he realizes what Yanli’s real motive for dragging him out here was.
Or:
Wei Wuxian finally agrees to go watch Jin Zixuan's stupid band, only to find himself face-to-face with his first crush.

Summary
So they orbit around each other, and their nightly rambles become longer, as they speak of things that Jiang Cheng, at least, has never spoken of to anyone else, but they stay almost.
Until the night their path bends towards Lan Xichen’s room instead of the guest quarters, and Lan Xichen asks, a hitch barely audible in his voice, “Take tea with me?”
The tea is a pretext. Jiang Cheng’s sure of it. Well, almost sure.
“We’ve just had tea in the hall.”
“Isn’t there always room for more?”
The tea is definitely a pretext.
--
Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen both have jagged edges. But perhaps their broken pieces can fit together into something new.
