    Summary

    Lan Wangji, generally speaking, did not make note of people. Of course there were exceptions, once faced with special kindness or distaste, but most often others left an imprint so light that it would fade from his mind in only a few days, if not minutes.

    He didn’t feel right in his skin for the rest of the day after meeting Wei Wuxian.

    Summary

    The whole thing is over in less than ten seconds. Streaks of missed liquor continue to drip down Wei Wuxian’s jaw and neck after he is done, glistening in the bright galleon moonlight. Crumpling the can, he spins his sword in his hand, the quicksilver challenge flashing like his eyes.

    Clear as Clarity, the thought cuts across Lan Wangji’s mind with the first clash of their rapiers together: this absolutely cannot last.

     

    Teenage Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are ghost-hunters dispatched on a routine Haunting.

    Summary

    Anyway, the point is, Wei Wuxian knows rain. It’s a natural, normal weather phenomenon. Normally he only pays it as much mind as he needs to--like, maybe he remembers to grab a hat if it looks stormy. (It’s more likely that he’ll forget the hat and then have to crowd under Lan Zhan’s umbrella, which neither of them is complaining about, mind you.) It’s just. You know. Rain. Sure, he and Lan Zhan may have had several dramatic, fraught, emotional confrontations with each other in the middle of horrible rainstorms, but that’s just coincidence! Sometimes it rains! Nothing to worry about!

    It’s just that maybe they’re primed to expect a certain outcome from past experience, which might explain why, when lightning flashes and thunder cracks and the sky opens up over them a little ways outside the nearest village, he and Lan Zhan whip around to face each other in a sudden panic.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.

    He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?

     

    Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.

     

    He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.

     

    Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

    Summary

    “Hanguang-Jun has,” she pauses abruptly, almost stuttering, and Wei Wuxian hears the sudden rush of blood in his ears, “He is–”

    “The Chief Cultivator is missing,” says one of the Nie cultivators with relish, “Went on a night hunt alone, and there’s been no word for three days now.”

    “Where– Has– Is he–” For some reason, Wei Wuxian can’t finish a single fucking thought.


    ------

    Post CQL canon Lan Wangji goes missing, and Wei Wuxian rushes to find him and bring him home, with elements of Orpheus and Eurydice.
