    Summary

    Lan Wangji is an immortal cultivator and a widower, once husband to the renowned Yiling Laozhu.

    He’s not opposed to collecting trinkets from various museums around the world. What right did they have to his husband’s belongings anyway?

    Wei Ying (his current reincarnation, not that he’s aware of it) is the Detective in charge of the case.

    Summary

    For a short while, probably more than he’d had any right to expect, Wei Wuxian had managed to feel like himself again. His clothing might have been rougher, and pockets certainly lighter, but sitting across from Lan Zhan sharing a meal without cross words or demands flying back and forth across the food…

    But a short time had all he’d been allowed before being abruptly summoned back to reality.

     

    Or, two strangers appear in the Burial Mounds.

    Summary

    "I’m Wei Ying, nice to meet you.”

    Lan Zhan stares at the hand being offered, brain still trying to process the hurricane of a person in front of him.

    “Lan Zhan,” he replies, and shakes the hand once, politely. “Is this your seat?”

    or, sometimes a chance meeting on a train and twenty four hours together are enough for two people to fall in love.

    Summary

    After so many reincarnations and reunions, Wei Wuxian’s soul is so attuned to Lan Zhan’s soul that all it takes for Wei Wuxian to remember his past lives is making eye contact with Lan Zhan.

    The problem is that Lan Zhan is immortal, and has been for millenia. Wei Wuxian is not.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji considers that for a moment, squaring Wei Wuxian up. And then he says, “You are asking– if I would like to spend Christmas with you?”

    “It doesn't have to be, like, Christmassy,” he reminds him. “We can just hang out. Maybe you can come over tomorrow evening, and I'll have you back in your apartment before midnight. And then on Christmas day, I'll bring you an apple for luck, and that can be that.”

    “Okay.” Lan Wangji says, after a moment of brow-furrowing contemplation.

    “...Okay?”

    “I will see you tomorrow. I will– spend Christmas with you.”

    Summary

    Lan Zhan can only say so much before the words get caught in his throat. He has long learned how to use his words sparingly, how to build enough of a reputation to minimize the use of words, has learned to hide behind little grunts and pointed looks.

    In contrast, Wei Ying never seemed to run out of words, speaking often and quickly, whatever was on his mind, mumbling equations and theories and his own thoughts as if he had a word quota to meet and exceed on a daily basis.

    So the Gusu University students found it rightfully strange that the two were dating.

    Summary

    “Clarity would not work to fix Chifeng-zun,” Lan Wangji opined.

    Nie Huaisang resisted the urge to kick him – Lan Wangji wouldn’t stick his foot in somewhere it wasn’t wanted if he didn’t actually have relevant information – but even Lan Qiren frowned at him.

    “You seem remarkably certain about that, Wangji,” he said. “But why not? While it’s not appropriate for every circumstance, it’s an extremely powerful song. I would think that it would be at least worth an attempt.”

    Lan Wangji looked distinctly shame-faced, though perhaps only someone who knew him very well would recognize that particular flavor of it.

    “I see,” Lan Qiren said. “And what exactly has your brother done that he doesn’t want me to know about?”

    Summary

    He tells his sister, "There's a little boy in Yiling with no parents and he's in trouble. We have to go and find him."

    His sister smiles and says, "This is a good story, A-Cheng. Tell me more."

    "It's not a story," he says. He's frustrated by his own childish petulance, but he can't seem to stop it. "I'm from the future. I know."

    His sister laughs, and he glares, and then she clears her throat and stops laughing, but still has a small, indulgent smile. "Of course, A-Cheng," she says. "And what's this little boy's name?"

    "Wei Ying," he says, and his sister's smile freezes. "His name is Wei Ying, and his parents are Zangse Sanren and Wei Changze, and something bad has happened to them. Wei Ying is alone in Yiling and he needs help," he insists.

    Jiang Cheng starts again from the beginning.

    Summary

    There was a pain growing in Lan Zhan's chest and he recognized it as an old enemy. It had been a while since he’d had to truly struggle with his grief; not since he’d recovered from his punishment and left seclusion. Usually he wore it without shame. 

    Eventually he came to a walled courtyard; one that was slightly at odds with the surrounding architecture. Lotus Pier was built for natural light and to keep the air moving. Even the doors had large slats built into them.

    He could see trees over the top of the wall and guessed it was a shaded garden; a place to retreat from Yunmeng’s relentless summer sun. Someone inside was playing music; a lazy tune played on a paixiao that tugged at the edges of his memory even though he couldn’t place where he’d heard it before. The garden gate, a large reinforced door, was shut and barred. Lan Zhan interpreted that as a typically Jiang-style hint that the garden was not open to visitors.

    The song ended and seamlessly transitioned into a new melody that rooted Lan Zhan in place right where he stood.

     He knew that song.

    Or: that one where Lan Zhan catches up.

    Summary

    “Become my personal disciple,” Lan Qiren said to Wei Wuxian, feeling the weight of what he said on his tongue, the bitter taste of it mixing in with the ash of the Burial Mounds. “And as your shifu, I will bear the shame of your actions for you.”

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian always enjoyed picking an aesthetic and really leaning into it. As an adolescent, he was joyous, entitled and high-born; during the war, he was dangerous and threatening. After the war, he was lost. But then he found his new aesthetic: Elder of the Jiang Sect.
