    Summary

    ‘Alright, fine,’ huffs Wei Ying, blowing out his cheeks. He adjusts his grip on the smooth hilt of the sword, as cold as wet stone beneath his palm. ‘How do I give this back to you?’
    ‘I must trade with you something of equal worth,’ says the strange man.
    ‘Uh. Okay.’ Wei Ying rubs his forehead with his free hand. ‘How about your name? Your real name.’ In case he needs to file a police report or stalk this beautiful, scary man on google or something.
    The man looks even more angry. He pulls his shoulders back and draws himself to his full height, which is rather impressive and forces Wei Ying to tip his chin up slightly.
    ‘My name is Lan Zhan,’ the man says.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji could not hope to find any other person like this, at least not so far from their home. But wu speak to birds and beasts across the realm. He may be known to them. He may be recognized, somewhere. The ravens and the hawks hear the name and cry it to the skies; the mouse and the fox both carry it with them through snow-washed fields. Below ground the beetles gnaw it into roots and bark. Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian.

    OR: Tasked with finding the Yunmeng Jiang's missing wu, a young man called Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji recruits a familiar and travels across the land in search of him. His familiar, a black hare with a little too much personality, seems to have his own secrets.

    “You must not stray to the lower levels, A-Yu,” Yao-ge told him with his scary, empty smile. “Or else I shall tell the beast down there to eat you.”

    Summary

    AU. Lan Wangji has lived his entire adult life to date as a Gusu Lan hostage in Lanling. He would like to have agency over the course of his life at some point. To be able to make choices based on his own desires rather than on those of others with more power. To feel like choices he makes could have weight on the outcome of events.

    It is quite ironic that when agency is returned to him, it is as a result of being kidnapped by a (faux) princess and threatened with his brother’s life and given to a man he doesn’t know who will very much expect him to obey.

    Based on a prompt for Wuji Fest (see Notes).

    When Lan Wangji buys the house, Wei Wuxian fully intends to drive him off too. Except Lan Wangji is beautiful, and interesting, and captivating company - even if he supposedly doesn't know Wei Wuxian exists.
