    Summary

    This started out as a one-shot inspired by a tumblr post about using business lingo while sexting... It is now a full-blown college AU.

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are college sophomores who live in the same dorm. WWX tries to trick LWJ into sexting for the meme but discovers he's kinda into it. Featuring: group texts (and hangouts) with "the boys" and individual texts (and hangouts) with others; lots of fluff and mutual pining; some awkward and mostly implied sexy times; an extremely oblivious WWX and an equally high-strung LWJ; and a couple of background relationships among the rest of the gang.

    Summary

    “You know,” Lan Xichen says thoughtfully, “when I told you to make friends, I did not expect you to pick Jiang Wanyin.”

    The truth is that neither did Lan Wangji, but then, the truth is also that he did not ‘pick’ anyone as much as he himself was picked, and the much larger truth underneath it all is that he was not expecting to make friends at all.

    OR: Against all odds, Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng become friends. It's just Jiang Cheng's luck that people think they're courting. And it's just Lan Wangji's luck that regretfully, Wei Wuxian is also People.

    Summary

    “Ah, Lan Zhan, you will not believe what kind of divination I got! Now I feel embarrassed for dragging you here.”

    Lan Wangji raised an eyebrow, an unpleasant feeling in his chest. There was a distinct impression of Wei Ying’s dramatics hiding true disappointment.

    “You know what she said?” Wei Ying asked, with levity in his voice that was so perfect Lan Wangji could have been fooled, had it not been for the way Wei Ying kept his gaze away from him. “I’m never going to get married!”

    Summary

    When the 3 a.m. knock sounds on her apartment door, Wen Qing assumes one of two things: it’s Wei Wuxian or it’s someone that has been drawn into the orbit of his personal chaos and they’re knocking on his behalf. A quick glance through the eyehole validates her latter assumption; Wei Wuxian is nowhere in sight, but the blurry visage of Jiang Yanli, his adoptive sister, is staring back at her, wide-eyed and fragile in the pre-dawn mist.

    Wen Qing opens the door. “What has Wei Wuxian done now?”

    Yanli stutters out, “N-nothing, he’s fine,” and then immediately bursts into tears.

    Summary

    According to Lan Wangji, Yiling has two main items of interest. First, there is a supposedly demonic cultivator who a) may not exist and b) if he does, is keeping the town remarkably safe and not demonic. Secondly, there is Wei Ying, a man he is falling in love with.

    These are definitely two separate things.

    Summary

    “Wei Wuxian! What the hell is wrong with you?? Don’t you know how angry mom is gonna be? Are you actually seeking your own death?!”

    If Wei Wuxian’s smile wobbled for a moment, no one noticed.

    -

    Wei Wuxian keeps trying, to no avail, to get Lan Wangji's attention at school. Lan Wangji keeps trying, to no avail, to ignore the weird feeling the troublemaker causes him. Things go obviously wrong.

    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

    "Huh?" Wei Ying asked. "Why would you give me a living chicken?"

    Lan Zhan looked at him perplexed and a little annoyed for a moment. “Because that's what you're supposed to do? When you are proposing?” he said as if it was the most obvious things in the world and maybe to his drunk mind it was.

    Summary

    In his opinion, Wei Ying was adjusting well to his new life as a university student far away from his hometown and family. He got into new hobbies, made some amazing friends and did well in his studies.

    Now, if he could only befriend that handsome guy, he kept running into. Something about him caught Wei Ying's attention and he just couldn't stop thinking about him. It almost felt, as if they had met before. Seeing him reminded Wei Ying of the smell of sandalwood incense and the taste of a fragrant wine, while making his heart yearn for something he couldn't quite name.

    Summary

    Nie Huaisang knows that things in this world are rarely story-shaped. That they're more akin to ink spilled on parchment - Messy and unpredictable and rather tragic. But out of all the threads he's woven throughout damn near a decade, he had not expected the most straightforward of his ploys to go this awry.

    He had not expected Wei-Xiong to end up here in Qinghe, half-drunk and too thin with no Lan Wangji in sight. Because it turns out that on his way to becoming the Chief Cultivator, the great Hanguang-Jun had left Wei-Xiong on the side of the road to walk alone in a world that most probably still wants him dead.

    What else could Huaisang have done other than bring Wei-Xiong home with him?

    Summary

    Once, Wei Ying had loved freely.

    Loved with a strength that twined deep into his bones, through the rivers that cut under his skin, between the sinews that wove the fibers of his being. Loved with an intensity that shook the very core, the very foundations of himself.

    Years ago, he’d ambulated along a tightrope, arms outstretched, and tumbled headfirst into a love that had nearly ruined him.

    --

    Two ex-lovers, an aspiring poet and an international best-selling author, are reunited at a book signing after five years apart.

    Summary

    Second year of uni is going great for Wei Ying! Okay, so maybe there’s a growing patch of mould on his ceiling, and perhaps Madam Yu keeps threatening to kick him out of orchestra, but aside from that it’s going fine. The rest of the woodwind section is a bit of a nightmare, but that’s easy to ignore when he spends most of his time in rehearsals trying to catch Lan Zhan’s eye from across the room.

    For friend reasons. They’re going to be great friends.

    If only he could figure out why his heart keeps doing strange things whenever he manages to hang out with Lan Zhan. And why Huaisang seems to understand Wei Ying more than Wei Ying does himself. And why one of his professors seems to hate all his bold ideas to revolutionise musical composition. And –

    Okay, perhaps it isn’t going so great. But there’s still time – and plenty of orchestra rehearsals before the end of the year – to figure it all out.

    Summary

    "Beneath the layer of numbness, a realization solidified in Wei Wuxian--the realization that everything he once had, everything he once believed, was built at someone else’s expense. A realization he didn’t know how to live with, if he didn’t know how to fix it."

    In which Wei Wuxian copes with (or doesn't cope with) ADHD, global injustice, and the consequences of his own actions.

    Summary

    He’s leaning his cheek against his free hand and sighing like a maiden from the sexy erotica novels Lan Zhan pretends he doesn’t read, when the bartender gasps at the photo he's showing her.

    “Oh my god.”

    She's wide eyed, and he sighs in agreement. Everytime. “I know, right?”

    She doesn’t look away. “Oh my god.”

    He frowns, and looks down at the photo. Still the same one. Lan Zhan is hot, but he isn't, like, naked. It's definitely safe to be showing in public. “What?”

    She snorts, and has to kind of purse her lips to stop a smile. For a second, Wei Ying thinks she’s laughing at his chances. That is immediately forgotten though, because she says “I know this guy.”

    -

    Wei Ying has a very interesting conversation at a bar.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian died in that cave.

    At least everyone thought so, including him.

    Maybe he should have even stayed dead. That might have been easier than watching Lan Wangji, Hanguang-Jun, Lan Zhan, look at him with absolutely no recognition in his eyes.

    Having your spine ripped out by a giant turtle hurt. But being ignored by the person you gave your life for, the person you gave up everything for - that might actually be worse.
