    Summary

    Lan Xichen squeezes his arm once and lets go. Lan Wangji tries not to miss the warmth as the man continues, “Do not worry, Wangji. We have invited Young Master Wei and I am sure that he can help us break the curse. If there is anyone in the world whom I trust to do it, it is him.”

    All of a sudden, recognition sparks at the surname. It catches him off guard, after everything that happened in the short span of time, the familiarity in the name grips him with hope. Lan Xichen stood and Lan Wangji raises his head and speaks, almost without thinking, “Wait.”

    The smile on Lan Xichen’s face falters. “What is the matter?”

    “Young Master Wei,” Lan Wangji repeats even though the words do not fit his mouth right. It feels wrong even though he does not know why. He needs to know why. “What is his name?”

    A night hunt leads to Lan Wangji forgetting everything except for his cultivation and his inexplicable connection to a person he cannot even remember - Wei Ying.

    Summary

    The way Wei Ying saw it, getting hit by a weird curse or two on a night hunt was an expected job hazard as a cultivator, and this was just a one-time fuck to help a friend out. It wouldn’t change anything between them, even if he’d been crushing on Lan Zhan since forever. It couldn't get more complicated than that.

    (He was of course wrong, wrong, and dead wrong.)

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” Meng Yao says, “do you know what a pet is for?”

    Wei Ying watches a blush creep into his own cheeks in the mirror. “Um… companionship?”

    Meng Yao reemerges with a long needle. “Yes,” he says patiently, holding the needle over a candle flame, “that’s true. But there’s more to it than that. A pet makes their master look good. As a noble Lan Wangji has to follow certain rules. He can’t dress too extravagantly. But he can dress his pet however he wants. The more expensive you look, the more desirable you are, the more powerful Lan Wangji is. Do you understand?”

    /

    In which Wei Ying is the new pet in town, Meng Yao lends a hand, and Xue Yang is just here for a good time.

    Summary

     Letting himself get cursed may not have been the smartest thing Wei Wuxian has ever done, but he'd argue that it’s completely in character. So he should earn some points for consistency, at the very least. Besides, when the spirit had been explaining it, the curse hadn't sounded too bad. Maybe a little bothersome if he underestimated how many people felt strongly about him, but surely, surely, it wouldn't be enough to hamper him in the long run.

    Let it be known that Wei Wuxian is an idiot.

    Because, when he emerges from the dilapidated husk of the temple, he can't see anyone

    Or: Wei Wuxian gets cursed so he can’t see or feel anyone who feels strongly about him and assume this means that the people he cares about actually hate him.

    Summary

    "Who do you think your betrothed is?" Wei Wuxian asks, sprawling out in front of Lan Zhan and enjoying the prim thinning of his lips at the question. He shouldn't be sprawling—they're in the library, for one, and Lan Zhan is studying, for another—but he can't help himself. Wei Wuxian is a sprawler.

    "I do not believe this to be of importance," Lan Zhan responds, without turning his gaze away from his book.

    "What!" Wei Wuxian sits up. "How can you say that? Of course it's important! This is the person you'll be with for the rest of your life, Lan Zhan."
