    Summary

    Lan Wangji opens his mouth. He closes it. He is blisteringly aware of how absurd it sounds for him to say, I am you, only happier. The truth, perhaps, is not always the best choice.

    Summary

    “All my life,” Wangji murmurs into his hair, fingers stroking over Xichen’s back gently, “you’ve protected me. When mother died, when my emotions felt too large for me to bear. When watching Wei Ying throughout the war terrified me, even when… when my soulmate left me alone with a child to raise, you were there. All this time, you’ve kept on giving and kept nothing for yourself. Please,” his voice sounds wrecked, “please let me give you this one thing, Xiongzhang. Let me carry you as you have carried me.”

    In which Lan Xichen needs to dual-cultivate with somebody compatible in order to save his life.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng stared at him. “How are you this dense,” he said flatly. “Wei Wuxian. The common people aren’t scared of you, they’re scared of your husband."

    “My what,” said Wei Wuxian.

    Summary

    “Stop mothering me,” Wei Ying protests. “Why don’t you ever listen?” He scowls at Wangji, but then the lure of the clean water is too much; he sits grumbling and strips off his vambraces and loosens the collar of his robes and wipes himself down in the steam. Wangji sits on a stool and watches him, and after a while Wei Ying slaps the rag into the bowl and glares back. “Are you going to sit and stare the whole time?” he demands. “You want to see me strip naked and give my filthy evil self a good scrubbing, huh?”

    Yes, Wangji thinks.
