    Summary

    Wei Wuxian takes a deep breath, filling Mo Xuanyu’s lungs to their capacity with the chilly autumn air. Together, they hold that air inside them until it hurts, until Wei Wuxian is reminded that to be alive means to hurt. It has always hurt and will continue to do so.

    (or: Mo Xuanyu's body and Wei Ying's soul come to an agreement.)

    Summary

    Lan Zhan looks at him, his gaze assessing. Then, slowly, he drops his hand to his hip. He unbuckles his sword from where it’s hanging from a leather belt, and lifts it to place it on the kitchen counter just outside his easy reach. “I’m here to ask for your help. Not compel you. I believe Wen Chao, and perhaps others in his sect, have been somehow perverting cultivation with the influence of the supernatural. The undead, specifically.”

    Wei Ying takes an entirely unnecessary breath. “My influence, you mean.”

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Summary

    The two brothers stood across from each other. It was such a meaningless conversation topic - Quidditch of all things. But Sirius was overwhelmed by the idea that this might be the last time they meet on peaceful ground. This could be the last time they saw each other and did not try to kill the other.

    “How are things at home?” Sirius asked softly.

    Regulus scoffed. “It’s home, what do you think?”

    ---

    After Slytherin loses the House Cup, the disowned Sirius talks to Regulus for what will likely be their last meeting before the War.

    Missing scene from The Boy From Beauxbatons but can be read as a stand-alone!
