    Summary

    "You, upstairs," El said to Neal. He beamed, twirled on one foot, and trotted out. "And you need to stop making it so fun to mess with you," she added to Peter.

    She surprised a look of such melting fondness on his face as he looked after Neal that her breath caught. "No," he said quietly. "I really don't."

    Wei Ying has been feeling like a grey, wrung-out, mildewed dishrag for a week when Lan Zhan slopes in from a trip to the store looking blank-faced and awkward and sets a pregnancy test down on the kitchen counter.

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Xiao Jingyan had been looking for an excuse to leave the capital. Nevertheless, he was relieved to receive news of a bandit troupe terrorising the villages along the northeastern borders.

    His late father had been sick for four years. Jingyan had remained in the capital for a further three to help Jingyu become the new emperor. Now that he’d succeeded, he was raring to leave the stifling confines of court, even for just a little bit.

    While investigating bandit activity, Jingyan is rescued by the Jiangzuo Alliance. Their famous chief, Mei Changsu, insists on a meeting but refuses to show his face.

    Summary

    The first time Jingyan stays the night at Su Manor, he discovers an uncomfortable truth about Mei Changsu.

     

    It is late, and Jingyan's mind is wandering recklessly. He attributes it to this place, to the strangeness of sleeping somewhere familiar but unfamiliar all the same. He desires Mei Changsu's touch, but despite the way they passed the evening, he isn't sure he would be welcome under the furs with him, welcome in his arms.

     

    One pale hand extends from the rumpled pile of furs.

     

    Jingyan brushes his knuckles against it.

    Summary

    Two opposites can be true at the same time: his head’s biggest mistake is his heart’s greatest triumph. Jingyan can be both his lord and supplicant. He can give everything to Jingyan tonight because he possesses nothing.

    Jingyan rolled his eyes a little. “I mean that there is no need to be secretive,” he said. He nodded at Meng, who was looking both confused and alarmed. “It is unkind of you, Sir Su, to force Commander Meng to tell lies; it makes him very uncomfortable.”

    “Sir Su, I believe I have been given a certain drug. My mother sent a message warning me of it. It could have been placed in my food or drink at any time in the last two days; its initial action is slow. She said I would know when it began, and advised me to keep only company I could trust for the hours it lasted.”

    “What is that?” said Jiang Cheng, before he remembered the disciples and waved them off. “What the hell are you up to, Wei Wuxian?”

    “What, this?” Wei Wuxian looked down in feigned astonishment, then scooped up the child in his arms. Now the mud was dripping onto the rest of him. “Is it possible that the revered Sandu Shengshou is unfamiliar with the concept of a baby?”

    Summary

    Lan Zhan’s eyes are very dark. He takes a double strand of rope and wraps it around Wei Ying, high on his shoulders, and then brings it across his chest. He centers the knot – it’s a familiar tie that Wei Ying has seen used at many of the workshops, and then before he knows it, he’s being spun around, held closely as the rope is looped around his body. Lan Zhan presses up against him from behind, running his hands around Wei Ying’s sides to ensure the rope is smooth, and then he begins the process all over again. Wei Ying feels slightly dizzy as Lan Zhan moves in and out of his space, and a calm steals over him, almost like he’s out on the ocean, and Lan Zhan is the tide.

    ***

    What are the chances that Wei Ying will meet his high school crush and former best friend Lan Zhan at a rope workshop in a Shanghai lesbian bar?

    Pretty high, apparently.

    Summary

    Through the window, boats drift in a mirror of the yawning sky, fringed with wide lotus leaves and the pale yellow blossoms that grow year-round. Geese call in the distance. And there again, drifting through the air—the scent of sesame shaobing, and hot dry noodles, and the sizzle-pop of frying oil. Like the heat-haze of summer, softened with time. Like the taste of home.

    Or, four meals Wei Wuxian shares during his travels, and one he shares with his soulmate.

    Summary

    The thing with musical prodigies is that they're soloists, and soloists play alone. He doesn't want to play alone anymore.

    -

    "A summer guest lecture series? Oh, very nice. I wish I could sit in on that."

    "Do you also play the piano?"

    "Not even a little bit," says Wei Ying cheerfully. "But I'm sure you'd have a lot of thoughts on musicality that would be relevant regardless."

    "Oh," says Lan Zhan. He seems to be searching for something else to say. "I believe it is oversubscribed," he says finally.

    "As it should be," says Wei Ying, and does not tell him that he has all of Lan Zhan's albums downloaded onto his phone, listened to over and over when he's on a train, a plane, waiting for a taxi, has followed his career since he overheard half a Mendelssohn when they were fifteen.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian knows that Lan Zhan is the same Lan Zhan as before, but also so, so different. This Lan Zhan is soft for him. This Lan Zhan has a set jaw and a steely look in his eye, ready to fight anyone who gets in Wei Wuxian's way. This Lan Zhan puts up no fronts - it almost hurts to look at him, he's so open.

    Wei Wuxian looks at this Lan Zhan, and he wonders.

    (i.e., Wei Wuxian tries real hard to use his two brain cells to figure out if Lan Zhan likes-him, likes-him or not.)
