Wei Wuxian's ad appeared in the Sunday paper just two days ago: Wanted: Subject to pose as reference for neoclassical academic commission. Tall-ish height and muscular physique helpful, but not necessary. 3 months’ pay at min. Enquire at Yiling Fine Arts Collective if interested. And now, here in his studio on an otherwise normal Tuesday morning, stands the most stunning man Wei Wuxian has ever seen here to do as instructed - enquire. -/- "You’re definitely tall enough for what I’d like, but it’s a bit hard to tell your physique until you undress-“ “Undress?” “Yes,” Wei Wuxian replies with a sinking heart - it had been a misunderstanding then, though how that actually happened he has no idea. In all of history hasn’t everyone known that artists need nude models? “That’s a requirement. Not all the time, I suppose, and definitely not right away…but a neoclassical piece means a nude or mostly-nude figure, Lan Wangji. I’ll need a nude model.” “I…Yes, of course,” Lan Wangji prevaricates. He’s too well-disciplined to fidget, Wei Wuxian would guess, but it’s painfully clear that he wants to. “I understand.”

Paramedic Neil Josten has been lost since his mother died, moving from town to town, searching for something. He's not sure what. Himself, whatever that means. Or a life that won't keep shrinking in on itself. But after Kevin, his best friend from paramedic school, called and ordered him to move to South Carolina, Neil ends up with a new partner, a group of friends he can't avoid, and the local advice column he can't stop reading. He finds himself interested in the writer behind the column... But then he meets Andrew who is weirdly good at everything, and maybe life is not so small after all.

Xian Le has been at war with the Kingdom of Yong’An ever since Xie Lian could remember. By the time he was twenty-four Xian Le had been barely holding on, sure to fall. At that point, a proposition comes from the least expected source. Or the one where Xie Lian doesn’t realize that San Lang = Hua Cheng

“Oh my god, is that a pregnancy test?” “But who…?” “It’s mine!” Wei Wuxian announced, his voice shrill and so loud everyone fell silent. or, jc finds a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom. wwx takes one for the team

Wei Ying, a disgraced herbalist expelled from the Jiang School for cultivating chaos magic, has worked hard to rebuild his life. And that hard work has paid off: Yiling Laozu’s Maladies and Misfortunes is the continent’s pre-eminent dealer of inconvenient hexes. The only dealer of inconvenient hexes, really, at least who wasn’t an illegal sorcerer. But when an enforcer starts tailing him in the marketplace one day, all his hard work goes out the window in an instant. And when the sudden appearance of a mythical curse threatens to derail his entire life again, the only cure may be to forget it ever happened at all. - Or: Wei Ying is a chaos witch specializing in petty hexes, and Lan Wangji has been sent to deal with him.

Two job-hunting resources that changed my life: This cover letter post on askamanger.com. http://www.askamanager.org/2011/09/great-cover-letter.html A job interview guide written by Alison Green, who runs askamanager. http://gallery.mailchimp.com/e3ab10e0da70e9f121f037e2b/files/how_to_prepare_for_an_interview.2.pdf I’d like to add this exceptional interview question “answer guide” that explains traps and “the best” way to answer over 64 common questions. I don’t know who to attribute it to, but here it is: PDF from tri valley one-stop career center. http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trivalleyonestop.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F10%2F60-Toughest-Interview-Questions.pdf&t=ZjRjMmFkYjk2OTVlOTUzNzEwZDQ3NGE0ZGUzOTM5ODZjNGE3ZjI3ZSw2MjEyOGU4OTk0MTAzMmI1Y2FiODg5NTJkZGU2OWFjOTkwMmZiMzJi

It was hard enough for Shen Qingqiu to come up with a foolproof plan to save his own skin when the System, and world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, were operating as expected. The last thing he needed was this stupid crossover event.

“Lan Zhan, explain one thing to me,” Wei Ying says as they make their way through the woods. “What is it about people saying, don’t go into the abandoned, potentially evil shrine, that makes teenagers immediately go into the abandoned, potentially evil shrine?” Wei Ying and Lan Zhan team up to investigate a curse. It doesn't go quite according to plan.

Xie Lian, once again desperate for a little extra cash, tentatively makes an account on a certain website.

"The infamous Lan Zhan! I knew it was you." The man next to him gives a brilliant smile, then leans his head on his hand in a casual display of comfort. Lan Zhan feels his back straighten and clenches his jaw. Wei Ying. They have never met, but they seem to know all about one another. Brought up in similar circles, just in different cities, they had both risen to fame at roughly the same time. They both play first violin in their respective orchestras. They're both considered young virtuosos. Lan Zhan cannot stand Wei Ying.

His body has always been stupid. But this is a message it should have gotten twenty years ago. When he gave up his core, he knew he was giving this up, too: the chance at being Lan Zhan’s mate. A chance that had seemed so real, so graspable; he’d been winning Lan Zhan over, they were a true match, equals— And then it was gone, and he knew it was gone, but his dumb hormones hadn’t understood that. His dumb hormones had looked at his wreck of a body, the ruined void where his golden core used to be, the dangerous resentful energy constantly coursing through him, the bouts of inedia edging toward real starvation, and thought: Yes, this is absolutely a worthy thing to offer the mighty and virtuous Second Jade of Lan. This disaster who can barely keep himself alive can be trusted to provide for the illustrious Hanguang-jun, pearl of the cultivation world.

On his way down from Heaven to Mount Yujun, Xie Lian's sleeve catches on a cloud. He tumbles down to the mortal realm and ends up three days on foot away from his destination. There's nothing unusual about that. The surprising part is that he finds a companion for the road barely an incense time after hitting the ground. Or: the story in which Hualian bond during the three days of walk to Mount Yujun.

No one really knows what it means to be one of Baoshan-sanren’s disciples. A single thing different means that Cangse-sanren does not die with her husband, and returns to collect her son from Yiling. Seeking shelter with Gusu Lan to raise her child, Cangse-sanren sets off a spiraling set of changes to the cultivation world, mainly because she has a brain and knows how to use it. Featuring smart mamas, ALIVE PARENTS, sensible and logically-thought-through plans, pining Lan Zhan and Wei Ying (this IS MDZS, after all), and happy endings for (almost) everyone.

The rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference he’d said, sotto voce, and Wei Ying had nodded. He was no physicist, but he could understand this. Time had slipped past that year, sometimes too quickly and sometimes luxuriously slow. The heat returned and the days ticked by, and then it was summer again, and Wei Ying was still falling. It was June and Wei Ying was happy.

It takes longer than it usually would for Wei Wuxian to catch on; the waiter’s mortified, flushed face, the couple with their hands under each other’s robes. The unusual warmth in his belly he has thus far, this evening, chalked up to his feelings for Lan Wangji. “Oh!” Wei Wuxian says when the realization strikes him. It hits him so strangely that he hears himself laugh, even though the situation isn’t funny. Maybe it will be, someday. But tonight, he — oh. — Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji get served the wrong pot of tea.

Adam meets a whole new Lynch to be irritated with.

When the elevator thumps into motion, Wei Ying sways back, his ass bumping against Lan Zhan’s hips. “Sorry,” he mumbles, turning his face to the side and grinning. Lan Zhan grips his arm as if to steady him, sliding his thumb over the silk as he pulls away. Wei Ying shivers. “You didn’t hit the button for my floor." “You can get off later.” Or Lan Zhan and Wei Ying flirt in an elevator and misuse office furniture.

already knew what the answer would be. Suddenly, the day that had so far felt very warm turned cold for him. He would have held up his hand, but something was keeping him frozen in place. The realization, perhaps, that he would not get those words back now. That he’d put them out, careless like a child, and just as fragile when facing the realities of the world. Wei Ying bowed to him, so respectful that it made Lan Wangji taste iron on his tongue. “I’m very honored, that Lan Zhan would hold me in such high regard, but – I don’t like men like that, so –“ or, lwj confesses

When Lan Wangji agreed to help Wei Ying out and play the role of "Dracula" for his Haunted House, he hadn't expected it to end like this. Trapped in the dark. In a coffin. With Wei Ying.

One day, while visiting the grave of Nohara Rin, Obito stumbles across a young girl terrifyingly like her. He decides to ensure she doesn’t meet the same fate. As for Sakura? Sakura had no idea what she was awakening the day she went to visit her parents graves - but she never looked back. One way or another. (Feat. Sakura raised by Obito and the Akatsuki, and her eventual return to Konoha and all those she left behind)

After their reunion on Mount Taicang, there are many first times.

Wei Ying is on a train. Lan Zhan, his long-suffering would-be assassin, finds him. Completely by coincidence, of course.

“So let me get this straight,” said Bones, “you’re going on a date with a Vulcan you’ve never met, but he’s also your best friend?” "It's not a date!" Jim insisted. -- (Or: the You've Got Mail/Star Trek 2009 mashup no one asked for but we all needed.)

Robb Stark had swept his entire hand of cards off the table, and Tyrion couldn’t see how to make a single play at all.

Lan Zhan regards Wei Ying for a long moment. Then he purses his lips. "Wei Ying," he says. "I'm afraid I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to communicate." He pauses. They stare at each other. "I love you," Wei Ying blurts. "That's always gonna be my central thesis."
