    Summary

    Lan Wangji’s roommate is brash, noisy, messy, annoying, and — absolutely terrible at feeding himself properly.

    (Or: food as a metaphor for love, featuring Lan Wangji’s A cooking skills, five times Lan Wangji cooked for Wei Wuxian, and one time Wei Wuxian reciprocated.)

    Summary

    The problem with CT Wei was, lamentably, not incompetence. Incompetence was a failing no one at the Gusu Bureau of Cultivation could forgive. Had he been incompetent, he would have already been dismissed from his position. No, the problem with CT Wei was far worse: he was friendly.

     

     

     

     

    There's a new forensic cultivator in the GBC.

    Lan Wangji is unimpressed.

    Summary

    While not having excessive experience with friendship, Lan Zhan has gathered enough from outside sources to construct a concept of it in his head. He has spent an inordinate amount of time trying to fit Wei Ying into the friendship category, but all his attempts were unsuccessful; no matter how hard Lan Zhan tries, how much he analyses and overanalyses their friendship, how much he extends the limits of friendship in his head, whatever the two of them have developed, it reaches beyond those limits.

    Friends don’t call each other pet names in the tone Wei Ying does, friends don’t kiss each other’s cheek, forehead, neck or hand as tenderly as they do. Friends don’t say my Lan Zhan, with honey dripping from their lips. Of course, they are best friends, a label that’s bound to alter and expand the lines drawn around friendship, but Lan Zhan still does not understand. Which is the issue, as per usual. He does not understand what they really are. He’d be more than content with whatever little crumbs Wei Ying chose to give him, but Wei Ying keeps offering himself up on a plate, in a way he does not do with anyone else, and Lan Zhan does not understand the intention behind it.

    Summary

    While growing up, it was assumed that Lan Xichen was next in line for succession.  No one could believe it when the moody and quiet second son of the emperor presented as the alpha and not the more amicable and diplomatic first son.

    Lan Xichen knew his younger brother would have rather travelled the lands to seek out honour and justice, instead of being forever bogged down in the palace with scrolls.  There was also the constant badgering from the Empress Dowager, Lan Qiren, that Wangji needed to contend with as well.  The Empress Dowager wanted Lan Wangji to continually expand his harem and produce more potential heirs.

    There was no doubt that the harem was the thing Lan Wangji hated the most about being the emperor.  He would never be able to find a true mate.  He was expected to bond with the omega that produced his first alpha heir and make him his empress.  Nobody except Lan Xichen knew that underneath the aloof and icy exterior, a romantic soul harboured. A younger Wangji had always dreamed of finding and bonding with someone he truly loved.

    or The story of the rise of an omega manservant, Wei Wuxian, in the Imperial harem of the Lan Empire ruled by Emperor Lan Wangji.

    Summary

    “Looks like he’s taken a liking to you,” Wei Ying says with a huff. Lan Wangji’s world shifts another ninety degrees when he’s pinned with the full force of Wei Ying’s attention. The guitarist perches on the other half of A-Yuan’s seat and slides an arm around the boy, smoothing back his hair before tweaking his nose. A-Yuan twitches, and Lan Wangji practically burns where Wei Ying had grazed against his shoulder.

    Wei Ying leans over and sets his chin lightly against A-Yuan’s head. There’s a gleam to his eye, silver coins that put all other metals in the world to shame. The boy sniffs again, and slowly, under the hollow of the guitarist’s body, he relaxes. “And who,” Wei Ying continues, “has bewitched my little radish?”

    --

    On a rainy Thursday evening, after his final concert of the season, pianist Lan Wangji ducks into a bookshop, befriends a toddler, falls in love with a guitarist, and, ultimately, rediscovers his passion for music.
