    Summary

    The man is in Lan Zhan’s bed. Did they—he begins to wonder, eyes trailing to where the man’s body lies under the blanket. Had Lan Zhan—?

    Then the sleep-fog clears and Lan Zhan realizes that the young man isn’t quite opaque around the edges.

    “You’re a spirit.”

    The spirit narrows its eyes. “I’m so much more than that.”

    (Lan Zhan buys a guqin off eBay for a suspiciously low price, only to find that it’s haunted. And now there’s a ghost in his bed.)

    Summary

    When Lan Zhan convinces his neighbor across the street to evacuate Hurricane Milton with him, he has no idea the true journey he's about to undertake. His childhood home and even his uncle feel strange and unfamiliar even with the nostalgia clinging to every surface. But if Wei Ying is to be believed, this is just part of being alive: sometimes, a home just isn't your home anymore.

    And that can be a good thing. An adventure, even.

    Summary

    (The one where it's a café AU - only it's not.)
