Summary
Prince Tiantian is beautiful, kind, and set to ascend to the throne of the kingdom of Henan. Everyone thinks he could be the perfect match for Prince Xiao Zhan, but the sweet young prince might be too sweet for Xiao Zhan's taste. He's even more troubled because Prince Tiantian seems to be keeping a big secret from him. Does it have anything to do with the rude, domineering, and devilishly handsome Prince Bo? One seems to live only in the daytime, and the other, the night. Can Xiao Zhan unravel the mystery of the two princes before time runs out?

ripple back to me by OverthinkingThis for eix

Summary
“Just because we haven’t talked doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about Wang Yibo,” Xiao Zhan says with a light laugh. “Or rather, ‘Wang Yibo,’” he amends, making little air quotes with his fingers. “The version of you that you share publicly, I mean.”
“You follow me?” Yibo says in a surprised kind of tone, and Xiao Zhan bites down on his lips as he feels his face go hot. He’d never unfollowed Yibo, it wasn’t that kind of breakup, not really. And what would have been the point, when your boyfriend leaves you to become one of the country’s most famous faces?
or
Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo meet up again, years after Yibo left to chase stardom.

lying in the dark (no sunshine) by OverthinkingThis for Yin_Chi
Fandoms: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) RPF, Chinese Actor RPF
19 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
Wang Yibo has had Xiao Zhan erased from his memory. Please never mention their relationship to him again.
Xiao Zhan furrows his brow, flipping the paper over and over in confusion, but other than the initials “LWJ” at the top of the page and a line of contact information, there’s nothing more to the letter.
It's been hard enough for Xiao Zhan to move on since the night Wang Yibo walked out, but now someone is fucking with him by sending a prank letter. Erasing someone from one's memory is not a thing that can be done — is it?
If it is, then Xiao Zhan doesn't want to be the only one bearing the burden of remembering what they've lost.
-----
or: It's not easy to forget Wang Yibo.

side by side at the top of a snowy mountain by OverthinkingThis for pessoa
Fandoms: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) RPF, Chinese Actor RPF
11 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
Busy street noises suddenly fill the air as the back door to the Audi A7L opens and someone slides into the seat behind Yibo. “Good afternoon,” a smooth, familiar voice calls out. Yibo hurriedly thumbs off his phone, sliding his eyes up to the rearview mirror for a quick check of his makeup and to straighten the black cap on his head.
He turns to flash an apologetic half-smirk at the man settling gracefully into the dark leather seat. “Good afternoon, Mr. Xiao,” Yibo says, and if he sounds just a little breathless, he can be forgiven, because that’s the usual reaction when faced with the handsome visage of Xiao Zhan, the CEO of Lotus Pier Media.
The Boss.

Summary
“You must have younger, hipper friends to take clubbing, Yibo. How many people did you ask before having to settle for this old man?”
“No one would make a more handsome date than Zhan-ge.”
For a moment, Xiao Zhan almost believes Yibo is being earnest, but then Yibo flashes that annoyingly hot half-smirk of his, making it clear that he’s just rainbow-farting, as usual.
“Date, huh?” Xiao Zhan snorts. “You want me to go with you as your date so you can pick up another guy?”
“I wanna make the guy jealous.”

Summary
“Aiyaaa, really? We’re stuck?” Xiao Zhan checks his watch reflexively and slumps against the wall, scuffing his feet on the floor in frustration. “Just my luck!”
“Seriously, man,” says Eleme Guy, turning to face him. “This really ssss—”
Xiao Zhan looks up and finds Eleme Guy staring wide-eyed at him, mouth slightly agape. “What?” Xiao Zhan asks, suddenly self-conscious. He looks down at himself, wondering if he’s torn or stained his suit or something. “What, is there—” he pats his cheeks, “—something—”
“N-no, nothing,” stammers Eleme Guy. “Just, uh. Hi.”
Xiao Zhan blinks. Eleme Guy doesn’t.
Or: Delivery boys Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan get stuck in an elevator.

Summary
“I was in the middle of working on it, so I can’t just put it away!”
“That’s what you always say!” Yibo shoots back. “You’re always ‘in the middle of’ a project — several at once, in fact, so nothing ever gets put away!”
He doesn’t really mean for his voice to sound so accusatory, but they’ve been stuck in quarantine together for a couple of weeks now, and the escalating disorder is starting to get to him. Yibo sweeps his eyes across the room to survey the disheveled state of their apartment, and sighs deeply.
OR: A special multi-creator collaboration celebrating Yibo’s struggle to live with Xiao Zhan’s creative chaos.

Summary
Come snowboarding with me
Xiao Zhan grins at his phone, the way he always does when Yibo messages him. He can almost hear the smile in the words on his screen: Zhan-ge Zhan-ge Zhan-ge.
It’s not nearly enough for him, these occasional bubbles of happiness popping up, but it’s pretty much all he gets these days, since they filmed that one thing together, now too many months ago. He tries not to think too much about it because it just makes these little missives feel awkward.
He just wants to see Yibo again. His friend.
OR: Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan take a vacation together as friends and figure things out.
