    Summary

    Lan Zhan doesn’t think about him anymore.

    The days when he would obsess over every tiny work Wei Ying appeared in are long gone. His days of buying every magazine he was in, of taping his interviews and watching them over and over again just to get a piece of the real him, they’re all over. Lan Zhan doesn’t follow every project Wei Ying is a part of anymore, doesn’t try to find out if Wei Ying ever mentioned him anywhere, and doesn’t keep the TV on just in case he hears Wei Ying’s voice in a new commercial.

    He has weeks, and even months, when Wei Ying doesn’t even cross his mind at all. And when he does, it is only with a faded kind of fondness, a simmering affection to the memories they shared together.

    He’s happy for the things Wei Ying achieved. There is almost no hurt at all, almost no pain. And almost must be just as good as none.

    -

    Lan Zhan's world is turned upside down when his High School love, famous actor Wei Wuxian, comes back to their hometown after 13 years.

    Summary

    “Alright alright!” shouts an energetic voice from behind him.

    Lan Zhan turns to see a young man in a ball cap, a black t-shirt and straight-cut blue jeans hurrying down the dock. He’s long and lanky, and his eyes under the brim of his hat are bright. His skin is tanned but his features are fine, smooth, his mouth generous. He’s got a clipboard in his hand. “Lan Zhan, is that right?”

    His name rolls perfectly off this man’s tongue, smooth as if it were in Mandarin. He nods. “Cool. I’m Wei Ying – I’m your pilot and guide for this trip.”

    Summary

    Wei Ying is a romantic and dreams of meeting the love of his life some day. After a string of bad dates he’s set up with a friend of a friend, and when Wei Ying sees a man across the bar with his gold eyes and white ribbon he’s immediately taken with him—too bad it turns out that’s not actually his date.

    Lan Zhan, Wei Ying learns, isn’t really into dating, but after he runs into him two more times by coincidence he believes, romance or friendship, he and Lan Zhan are destined to be together.

    Summary

    “Well—maybe you’ll get lucky, and Lan Wangji won’t like you at all. Then he might send you home and keep up his part of the deal anyway!”

    Nie Huaisang meant it as a joke, but Wei Ying sees potential.

    After all: if there’s one thing he’s learned in the months since the engagement, it’s that he is utterly unsuitable for a place like the Cloud Recesses.

    All he has to do is act like it.

     

    (...After a century of war, the great sects are looking to make peace by the most common means: marriage. When Wei Wuxian is promised to the Lan Clan, it is thought to be a grave insult.

    Things do not turn out the way anyone expects.)

    Summary

    Wei Ying abandons her suitcase to investigate the sleeping situation, already coming up with a hundred reasons not to inconvenience Lan Zhan by stealing half of her fucking bed, and then gets a better look at it.

    It’s huge. Wei Ying has seen a king bed before, and this is bigger than that. Is that a California King? Is that what those huge-ass orgy beds are called? There are parking spaces smaller than this bed. Wei Ying has lived in apartments smaller than this bed.

    “You know,” Wei Ying says thoughtfully, “I’ll level with you. I was gonna volunteer to sleep on the couch, or steal some pillows and blankets and sleep in the bathtub, but then I saw this monstrosity. Lan Zhan, look at this fucking bed.”

    Lan Zhan rests her hands on the room divider, her face softly amused. “I am looking.”

    “We could tend a whole herd of sheep on this bed,” Wei Ying says, warming to her subject. “We could cross the Pacific Ocean and weather any storm on this bed. Fuck, Lan Zhan, I could stage an entire community theatre production of Chicago on this bed.”

    Or: There was only one bed, but that part's fine, actually.

    Summary


    Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.

    One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.

    He did yelp a little. But very manfully.

    “No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”

    Summary

    Among the cultivation sects and beyond, the soulmate threads are a shared and common knowledge: blue for a familial soulmate. Silver for a friend. Red for a lover.

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Summary

    "And for Lan Zhan? He's not going to believe that I mentioned A-Yuan to him and he's the one who forgot about it."

    Nie Huaisang lifts his wine glass and gestures with it a little, like a sage who has given his advice and now the rest is Wei Wuxian's problem. "You're just going to have to pretend very hard. Don't let him break you."

     
    Or: The one where Wei Wuxian secretly adopts A-Yuan and when he tries to convince Lan Wangji he had a kid all along, Lan Wangji rolls with it, ups the ante, and sets off a game of chicken that digs up buried feelings that Wei Wuxian is 100% sure he's not going to act on. Okay, 90% sure.

    Summary

    After a six-year online friendship that started with a social media game, Poe turns up in Yokohama. It's up to Ranpo to deduce why in the face of multiple complications, including the fact that Poe is way more attractive in person than Ranpo accounted for.

    Or: the Ranpoe spin-off to my SKK café AU that several of you asked for and I'm finally starting to post.

    Set in the same AU as A Drop of Black Coffee in the Pot and A New Blueprint on an Old Page.

    Summary

    One misplaced moment of weakness was all it took for Malleus Draconia to come face to face with both his long-denied problem, and to force him into finding a level-headed solution.
    Fairies are, regrettably, notoriously inept with tech - all the rage in these novel times, so Malleus ropes in the best person to help him, slowly realizing he he may have fallen into a pit darker than the mud of overblot.

    And so Idia Shroud, the lord of escapism and the owner of a death-bound destiny set in stone, finds himself in the company of the ever enigmatic fairy prince. He does not believe in true love, and would love to chalk it all up to business, and the way that the human brain is wired. However, there is more to the themes of fantasy stories that he dismisses so readily than he cares to admit.

    The two gradually come to realize that magic solves much more than they were hoping for... but way less than what they come to need.

    Summary

    ▽▲▽▲━━━▽▲▽▲━━━━▽▲▽▲━━━━▽▲▽▲━━━▽▲▽▲
    Time is running out for Malleus Draconia. Three years among humans, and yet he is still to make a single companion…until one day, on a seemingly ordinary day, an unexpected encounter brings him close to the most unlikely individual.

    Idia Shroud, who firmly believes that he is better off alone, tries his best not to involve himself with other people…until, one day, on the most stressful day of his life, he runs into someone who, had the circumstances been different, would have never met.

    However, various circumstances during their last year at Night Raven College keep bringing Malleus and Idia together, and somewhere along the line, they realise that, although polar opposites at first glance, they are much more similar than they thought.
