    Summary

    There were a few things that Lan Sizhui knew about himself.

    First, that he was not born in the Cloud Recesses, or in Gusu, or anywhere nearby. Zewu-Jun was apologetic and kind about it when he asked, as always, but was clear to the fact that he didn’t know any more about it than Lan Sizhui did.

    “You are here now,” he said gently, “and that is what matters.”

    There was a vast abyss in Lan Sizhui’s childhood around the things they didn’t talk about, deep with his father’s grief.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao is used to being overlooked, but not quite like this.

    “No,” Lan Huan decides after a moment. “But you will have to sacrifice something, I’m afraid.” 

    Jin Guangyao blinks at him and sets the cup back onto the saucer, careful to keep it from clinking too loudly. “Something like what?” He asks. 

    “Nothing you can’t live without, I think,” He says. “Something you might miss, for a while.”

    Summary

    In the end, the decision was easy.

    "I've come to tell you I have accepted a position at Yiling University."

    Qingheng-jun's attention drifted back to his phone. "Not very prestigious is it?”

    "I am taking the professorship. I am also taking the boys."

     

    After the death of their mother, Lan Qiren removes his nephews from Cloud Recesses to Yiling.

    Summary

    It feels like a performance. Like a lie. Like once again he is nine, looking over his shoulder, and thinking: they won't believe me. The truth isn’t enough. Not big enough, not meaningful enough, not - just not enough, somehow, for an occasion like this. Lan Xichen, loose-limbed, bare-skinned. What else in the world matters?

    --

    Jin Guangyao spends the night in the Cloud Recesses. It...doesn't go quite as planned.

    Summary

    In the coffin house, there was always food, a roof over his head. It was warm in the winter and he only had to worry about one, sometimes two people stabbing him to death in his sleep. Little Blind wasn’t so bad, even if she was nosey and annoying. The world around him was easy, quiet and most often bloodless. Some people might have even called it comfortable.

    Xue Yang was not one of those people.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao takes a steady breath. Almost all of the conference agenda has been addressed. Everything is still going smoothly, under his watchful eyes. He just needs to make it through this conference. Eventually, all of this will be worth it.

    It would be much easier to believe if he didn’t have to pee so badly that his clothing feels tight over his stomach. He plasters a smile over his grimace. He was perfectly fine with this exact amount of liquid in him for the last half of the conference. He demonstrably has enough room for it. So he will bear the press of his bladder as long as he needs.

    Summary

    The dawn rises in a sweep of white jade and fading azurite, rising from the yellow hills leading to the flush fields of Lánlíng Jīn. Nie Huaisang pauses on the northern wall of the Qīnghé Niè fortress, watching the stars fading in the east, wondering if this dream will wane in the growing light.

    If this is all the time he has, was it spent wisely? He cannot say.

    Nie Huaisang travels to the Stone Castles to lay his brother to rest.

    Summary

    I find the character of SecUnit 03, a.k.a. Three, intriguing from a storytelling perspective. It is ‘tabula rasa’ in ways that Murderbot is not and cannot be. This takes place during the little-described period of waiting at the end of Network Effect, and will almost certainly be non-canon after System Collapse comes out.

    Heed the tags. Three will find its way in the end (because that is how I roll), but it has not escaped the Corporation Rim unscathed. There will be pain, fear, self-doubt, depression, and one very bad decision as Three stumbles its way out of the past.

    Summary

    "Hey."

    "Yes, da-ge?" Lan Xichen's expression was at a cross between hesitant and remorseful, displaying that he too was not sure what direction he expected this conversation to go. Jin Guangyao's grip on his robes tightened in response, his vision blurring at the edges.

    “We’ll be late for the upshot.”

    Shifting from concerned to exasperated, Lan Xichen took a deep breath, then exhaled, just as slowly. “I do not care about who the winners are. There are more pressing matters we should be focusing our attention on. Your shoulder is torn.”

     

    During the hunt at Phoenix Mountain, Jin Guangyao descends a stairwell without falling, Nie Mingjue receives a wound while cultivating and Lan Xichen is there to offer support while emotional distancing.

    A bruised stranger tries to sleep on Mingjue's doorstep and ends up becoming a patient in his house. This is part 2, a lot longer than I had planned, but oh well. Mingjue simply fits as a serious caretaker and Xue Yang as mouthy street rat :)

    Summary

    It's been months since Jin Zixuan was injured by bandits at Qiongqi path, leaving him in a coma that no doctor seems able to wake him from. Jiang Yanli is left to face the fractures in her husband’s family on her own as she searches for answers, determined to find a solution even if it means reading the whole library herself. She’s set her heart on having her family whole and together again, and if that seems impossible — well, she’s a Jiang.

    It’s been months since Wei Wuxian almost killed Jin Zixuan at Qiongqi path and agreed to a contract with a strange wish-granting shop to try and keep everything from getting worse. As long as he acts as the shopkeeper, spending his days serving the shop, the people of the Burial Mounds will be wiped from everyone’s memories so nobody can come after them. With this, Wei Wuxian expects to never see anyone from his old life ever again — but somehow, Lan Wangji still manages to find him.

    What is it that you wish for? And even if you know, how do you get it?

    Summary

    Some days, it isn’t so bad. His qi irregularities are within the expected boundaries. The desire to give in to the whispering need that wants him to succumb to violence is a quiet thing—imagine how his blood would look on our fingers, Baxia says, but Mingjue smiles through it, bows to Sect Leader Ouyang respectfully, and offers him tea.

    (If he spends a minute gritting his teeth and breathing heavily in a side chamber before the next assembly at the yearly cultivation conference, does it matter? If a report gets crushed between his fingers and the edge of his vision goes red for a second, a minute, did it really happen if nobody saw?)

    Other days, it is harder.

    For those days—the violent ones, the ones where he hangs onto his sanity by the edge of his teeth—he has Xichen.

    Summary

    The whiskey burns his throat like gasoline, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. His eyes start to water as Lan Xichen gasps for breath, coughing desperately. Nie Mingjue squints through his pain as his boyfriend heaves as if one of his lungs has collapsed.

    “Horrible,” Lan Xichen gasps like a personal affront. It shocks a laugh out of Nie Mingjue.

    “It’s likely one of the whiskeys meant for sipping, not for chugging.”

    Awful,” Lan Xichen counters with disdain, already pouring another shot for each of them.

     

    --------------

    Or, the one where Lan Xichen gets incredibly drunk and tells Nie Mingjue all about his amazing boyfriend—who is, coincidentally, Nie Mingjue.
