    Summary

    The first time you touch someone you're fated to love, you leave a mark on their skin. If they will love you in return, they'll mark you where you touched them. The deeper the color, the deeper the connection.

    Wei Ying has no marks at all.

    To be loved isn't the only thing that matters. He is still worth something. He's fine.

    Summary

    A new job brings Wei Ying to London, and back into Lan Zhan's life. Many things have changed since their time in boarding school (Lan Zhan is out of the closet, arranges charcuterie boards, stocks a fine bar…), but their friendship slots right back into place like no time has passed. Wei Ying is a little perplexed by the fact that Lan Zhan apparently doesn't have any interest in dating anyone despite being an obvious catch—but hey, at least that means he doesn't have to fight anyone for Lan Zhan's time and attention. And besides, it's not like Wei Ying is in any big rush to find himself a girlfriend either. It’s all working out great!

    Summary

    Fear has never been a recognizable shade on Lan Wangji in both of Wei Wuxian’s lives. Wei Wuxian has seen the vibrant reds of anger and annoyance, the gentle blues of solemnity and despair, the pastel yellows of tranquility and contentment—slowly, he’s come to catalog the differing hues that paint the canvases of Lan Wangji, of Hanguang-jun, of his husband.

    But fear?

    Fear is the swatch of grey that rolls through misty mountain mornings, brims in charcoal overcasts promising torrential rains and terrorizing floods, swells in storms rupturing with violet lightning and deafening thunder. It’s a shade Wei Wuxian has only identified three times, and this—this is the fourth.

    --

    Lan Wangji is cursed on a night hunt.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is used to making a space for himself in places where he is not wanted. It should not surprise him that Cloud Recesses is the same, even if his soulmate is one of the twin jades.
