    Summary

    Wei Ying lets the oars rest and leans back, tilting his head to look at Lan Wangji. “Did you find what you’re looking for? On the docks today?”

    Lan Wangji wants to turn away from his gaze. He isn’t used to being seen. “No,” he says, because he doesn’t know how to explain what he’s looking for in the first place.

    Wei Ying props his chin on his fist. “Can I guess?” Without waiting for an answer, he continues, “You’ve fallen in love with a pirate girl, and you’re waiting for her to steal you away to be the glittering jewel of her collection, so you can live on the open ocean together.” Lan Wangji narrows his eyes at him and Wei Ying bursts into laughter. "Ah well," he says. "I'll get it right next time."

    Summary

    Once, Wen Qing vowed to preserve the lives of others, to rescue all living beings from their sufferings.

    It's a pity the Jin sect killed her. Now, no vows restrain her.

    (Two years after her death, the ghost of Wen Qing flees Golden Carp Tower with her brother. They accidentally kidnap Mo Xuanyu on the way out. Then, they set about collecting the scraps of Wei Wuxian's shattered soul.)

    Summary

    Canon divergence starting from after the Xuanwu Cave. What if it wasn't Wang Lingjiao who came to Lotus Pier? What if Wen Ruohan had sent Wen Zhuliu instead? The respectful, sensible Wen Zhuliu, who knows how to work the room...

    In which Wei Wuxian loses his hand (he gets one better), Lotus Pier is saved, the Lan Clan is said to be dead to the last man, there's a horrible banquet in Nightless City, someone accidentally plays Sleeping Beauty, and there's that awkward moment when you realize Meng Yao is the sane one (except not really). It's a dark, dark night, but the sun will rise eventually.

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” she let out a deep sigh. “You should talk to him. Just… sleep on it first. I can pick you up and you can stay over. Where are you right now?” she asked, and Wei Ying stopped walking.
    His gaze had been firmly fixed on the sidewalk the entire time, but now that he looked up, he really had no idea where he was.
    “I… let me get to the next street sign,” he sniffled, jogging the rest of the block. “I didn’t make any turns, so I think the crossroads are Cloud and Lotus.” He had just finished saying when a sudden screech of tires made his heart jump in his chest. He spun around to see the blinding shine of headlights.

    or Wei Ying loses his memories one fateful night, and proceeds without them, leaving everyone in his past to wonder what happened to him. 10 years later, with a son, a career, and a new life, his past reemerges through his son, career, and not so new life.

    Summary

    What everyone knows but no one acknowledges about Gusu Lan’s famed intersect cultivation lectures is that its true purpose is to allow the next generation of cultivators to make advantageous matches.
    What Lan Wangji knows that he is expected to find and marry someone his sect will approve of before classes end - a partner whose animal instinct will align with the Lan dragons' notoriously monogamous traditions and who will provide the Lans with a politically useful alliance.
    What he cannot acknowledge is the truth - that foxes are known to be seasonal monogamists who take each mate for a single season only; that he has fallen in love with Wei Wuxian, against what should be possible given their incompatible natures; that Wei Wuxian might be courting him too, despite the odds; and that if he bows to their mutual attraction, marrying him can only lead them both to misery.
