“I mean, this happens to you all the time, yeah? Getting yourself busted open. Stripping off half your clothes.” Shang Qinghua briefly taps Liu Qingge’s bare shoulder. “Are you just constantly suppressing your urge to mug down with people while they push your guts back in? Like, this is close. No one ever breathes in my ear.” They are close. Close enough for Liu Qingge to elbow Shang Qinghua through a tree trunk. “Mu Qingfang is efficient. He doesn’t breathe on me.”

It came back to him in fits and starts. The glow of the array. The strange heat in-between his eyes. The fan that had snapped in two in Shen Qingqiu's hand. “Move away from him,” someone had told Shen Qingqiu, but Shen Qingqiu hadn’t. Luo Binghe had tried to tell him it was alright. He'd had trouble talking through the pain in his head, but he'd tried. Shizun had already suffered so much because of Luo Binghe. Because he had tried to protect him. He remembered, distinctly, the sharp, clear sound of Xiu Ya being drawn.

“My mother,” he begins, and Wei Ying stops in his tearing up of the grass, and tilts his head to listen. This is one of the things about him that makes Lan Zhan’s heart weak with affection: for someone so loud and constant, his ability to go quiet and listen is unmatched. Wei Ying will be careful with the memories Lan Zhan gives him, he thinks. “My mother used to do it for me. When I was small. I sat on her lap and she braided my hair and we watched the trees sway outside the window.” ; Lan Zhan loves and loses and loves again.

Jiang Cheng had practically bribed Wei Ying not to ‘embarass him’ so that he could ‘actually get some studying done.’ All this was to say, they had parted ways on okay terms. They had not been ‘friends’ by any stretch of the imagination. After college, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan don't see each other for a couple of years, or stay in touch. So it's a bit of a (welcome) surprise when Wei Ying sees his old roommate at his favourite kink club. Wei Ying's slept with friends before, in fact, he does it pretty frequently. And, okay, they weren't friends exactly, but they were familiar, and kink with someone you already trusted was always more fun. What could possibly go wrong? Or The modern AU where clans are now kink clubs with their own rules and etiquette and our two idiots decide to pretend they have no feelings for each other whatsoever and are just here for the sex.

On the shore of the Cold Springs, Wei Wuxian stands, half-dressed in his own robes. He holds up Lan Wangji's heavenly robe, the fabric shining like spilled stars at midnight. "Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian breathes, a whole constellation reflecting in his eyes. "What's this? It's so—" ---------- On the night Lan Wangji's mother left, she gave him a divine robe and told him to never let anyone see or take it from him.

They’d dug their livelihood out of the ashes and it had almost started to feel like home, a little place just for him and the Wen refugees he’d found. Never quite safe, though. Wars leave all manner of ugliness behind them, and this little world don’t have room in it for a demonic cultivator, a not-quite-dead man, or anyone surnamed Wen. Once they’d gotten to where they didn’t have to fear starving, Wei Ying had thought about longer-term survival, and turned his eyes to the stars.

“Do you—” Quan Yizhen started, and then on the other side of the room Pei Ming started up his jackhammer, so he waited, bouncing on the balls of his feet, and then said all in a rush, “doyouknowHuaCheng?” Xie Lian blinked. “You know—him?” she asked, in case 'San Lang' was some kind of private name, a secret code just for her. She liked the thought of that. Quan Yizhen shook his head vigorously, his curls bouncing. “No!” he said. “But Yin-ge said you were with him at Home Depot and you left together!” Xie Lian stared at him. One of the employees that had helped her a few weeks ago had been called Yin something, she was pretty sure, but that’s about as far as she could follow what was happening here. “Yizhen, if you don’t know Hua Cheng, why is this… notable?” “He’s famous. Or like. The bad one. Infamous. I thought—” His eyes gleamed. “I thought maybe you fought him.” + Retired (read: disgraced) famous boxer Xie Lian meets a helpful stranger while at Home Depot attempting to fix her collapsing roof.

Wei Ying licks his lips nervously, smile dropping off a little bit.) "What if he doesn't like me? What if I'm a disappointment? I mean, listen, I know I'm a catch, but you just never know, do you? And what if he's a disappointment? What then?"
