"Wei Ying, have you never heard of aftercare?" Mutely, Wei Ying shakes his head. He has learned of many things, from all his guys. The word care has never been included. * In response to a kink meme prompt: sub wwx who hasn't had a good dom before meets dom lwj. The story of three nights and a morning.

"Wei Ying-" Lan Zhan says, stutters, "I'm sorry." And now Wei Wuxian sees it, the red rimming Lan Zhan's eyes, the rumpled edges of his blazer. There is an old, familiar urge for him to reach over, to hold Lan Zhan's hand and smooth his hair, to tell him that everything will be fine. "We're all a bit sorry about this, I think," he says instead, and finds that he means it. For Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji and everyone else in that Guanyin temple, the pain must be unbearably fresh, like skin just flayed open. But Wei Wuxian's chest had been cracked open a long time ago, his wounds licked and cauterized and sewn shut over five long years - Ever hurting, but a dull, constant ache, "It's really alright, Lan Zhan." Five years after being accused of corporate espionage and losing everything, the Guanyin Scandal breaks open and Wei Wuxian finds a familiar face at his door.

A dead student. A traitorous note. A secluded campus deep in the woods. And secrets that are starting to unravel... Between playing an illegal sport, trying to track down a murderer, and secretly hooking up with his former nemesis, Neil's second year at Morgan University promises to keep him on his toes - if it doesn't kill him first.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man who had all of his shit together must be in search of a partner. The only person Wei Ying could think of who had their shit together on a level equal to Lan Zhan was Mianmian. So naturally, to ensure the happiness of two of his very good friends, Wei Ying embarks on a matchmaking journey. (Five times Wei Ying tries to set up his friends and one time he gets set up himself.) (Or, the "you like mianmian" cave scene, extended version.)

In a world where you find your soulmate by touching an object they have previously touched, interlibrary loan librarian Wei Wuxian touches a book from another continent.

Lan Wangji has known all his life that he is destined for some book-lined office, for publication credits and funding awards, the grown-up versions of school prizes for academic achievement. The prospect has, for the most part, been comforting. But as the academic year wears on, he finds his work increasingly taking a backseat to Wen Qing's plans to unseat, or at least unsettle, their Head of Faculty, and Lan Wangji begins to look beyond the library walls. (Any influence from local chaos gremlin Wei Wuxian will not be acknowledged at this time, thank you very much.) Or: maybe the real academic networking was all the groupchats we were added to along the way.

You know what's worse than being transmigrated into a bad harem novel as the main villain? Being transmigrated into a villain at the very end of the book! Shen Yuan faces the prospect of reaping punishment he does not deserve and is struggling to save his life. Luckily, not all is lost. The System gives Shen Yuan the ability to change three events in the villain's past and to reenact these events as he sees fit. Will that be enough to prevent Shen Qingqiu from turning into a human stick?

Upon transmigrating into the body of a xianxia antagonist destined to die after being gruesomely tortured, Shen Yuan decides he won't give in to the demands of the System to meekly accept his fate. Instead, he runs away.

Lamplights flicker orange and yellow, stars blinking in and out of sight. If Wei Ying closes his eyes, he can trace the curls of Lan Zhan's eyelashes from memory, map the lines of his palm, tap out the rhythm of his heartbeat. or; Being known doesn't feel so scary, Wei Ying thinks, if it means being known by Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying join the mile high club.

Turns out the HR department may have had a point when they said don't bring your work home with you, and not just in the metaphorical sense. In his defense, it's not like he was trying to get anyone cursed.

His fingers are still clasped between Wangji's. In the mirror Wangji watches him tuck his coat between his thighs so that he can fuss with the tucked-in hem of his shirt, tousle up the side of his hair, all one-handed. "I hope what I'm wearing is okay." "It's good," Wangji says. "You look good." "I guess I must," Wei Ying says, and then he smiles and bites his teeth into his bottom lip for a second, devastatingly, and before Wangji can drop dead the doors to the elevator slide open, and the hostess station appears. [In which lonely businessman Lan Wangji meets the right wrong person and changes the course of his life.]

“Well, hot or not, Lan Zhan can’t be worse-looking or have a worse personality than the rest of this guest list,” says Wei Ying resolutely. “And if she’s ‘frosty as fuck’, she probably doesn’t bite, and she’s also probably not a Jin offspring, so she’s already better than my other two options. Target acquired!” — Or: the one where everyone’s a lesbian except for Jiang Cheng, the Jin half-sisters are hosting a party, Lan Zhan wears a see-through lace dress, and chaos ensues.

When Jin Guangshan asked Wei Wuxian what he wanted in return for his support in seizing the throne from Wen Ruohan, Wei Wuxian thought about the beautiful, lonely figure he'd once glimpsed in an open courtyard in Koi Tower. The last of the Lans in the world. It had been a long time since Wei Wuxian had wanted anything, but he wanted him. He couldn't have known what getting what he wanted would mean for them both.

If Lan Zhan wants her like this, but only like this, then Wei Ying will take it, hold onto it, cling to it. It’s more than she’s had before. If it’s more than she’ll ever get—well, Wei Ying has always been good at taking what she’s given. or; Wei Ying wonders how much Lan Zhan will let her take before it gets too much.

Wei Ying swipes right.

The Swiss Cheese model of accident causation likens human system defences to a series of slices of randomly-holed Swiss Cheese arranged vertically and parallel to each other with gaps in-between each slice. Defences against failure are modelled as a series of barriers, represented as slices of the cheese. The holes in the cheese slices represent individual weaknesses in individual parts of the system. The system as a whole produces failures when holes in all of the slices momentarily align, permitting "a trajectory of accident opportunity," so that a hazard passes through holes in all of the defences, leading to an accident. OR: Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian go to the courthouse. OR: “Sweethearts,” the city clerk had said, very gently, “you’re already married.”

The odyssey of Rachel Gardner, who isn't actually as Quirkless as she once thought and has zero compunctions against using that to get what she wants. Being stuck in Japan is a bit more of a hurdle than a death sentence and a high security institution, but she and Zack have dealt with steeper odds, she's pretty sure. Plus Ultra, as they say.

"What would you do for me, if I asked?" "Anything. Everything. Just say my name and I'll follow you anywhere." What a gift it was, to own another person's soul. Ginny Weasley is lost in time — with only one constant to root her to reality. Caught in the throes of magic, she wanders in and out of the life of Tom Riddle.

The thing was, Wei Ying wasn't always chaos in feline form. Most of the time he was a perfectly normal human, or at least, as normal as a werecat could be. As normal as anyone could be if they were forced to spend three nights every lunar month in a cat-shaped body. And besides, it wasn't as though Wei Ying wanted to be a part time cat. He didn't. The moon nights were an inconvenience to be endured, and the rest of the time, he was as human as possible and that was that as far as he was concerned. Meeting Lan Zhan in cat form was entirely accidental.

After years of a mad quest, Wen Ruohan is finally given proof of a powerful creature living among mortals. He is delighted to find that it truly believes itself to be only a boy named “Wei Wuxian.” While Wen Ruohan tries to unlock Wei Wuxian’s secret, the sects unite against him. If he can achieve his goal before they arrive, even the combined might of the cultivation world would not be enough to humble him. Meanwhile, Lan Wangji dreams of Wei Wuxian in the Cold Pond Cave, and works tirelessly to rescue him from Wen Ruohan’s clutches. No one is prepared for what awaits the allied sects in Nightless City at the conclusion of the war, and it very well might mean the end of the world as they know it.

I Ship My Adversary X Me

There’s someone new in the Lan clan delegation, someone Wei Ying doesn’t recognize. Someone whose blinding white three-piece suit has a narrower taper at the legs, giving it just a little edge, an appealing attitude. Someone Lan Huan’s height, of a slightly slighter build, with maybe a rounder mouth, and hair that’s almost floppy, cute, and - oh, shit. Oh, holy shit. That’s Lan Zhan.

With an almost trance-like detachment, Wei Wuxian touched his own neck, his fingers skimming over the fresh mark. The bite wound had stopped bleeding, although he had no doubts it would open again if agitated. Bonded. He was bonded for life. "Shit," he whispered. He looked over at the sleeping form of Lan Wangji—the Second Prince of Gusu and, until his brother was found, the sole heir to the throne. "Oh, shit. Lan Qiren is going to kill me." ---------- Lan Wangji goes into a fevered rut and accidentally bonds with Wei Wuxian. When they next meet, he remembers none of it, and Wei Wuxian is determined to keep the bond a secret—even when he's sent to the Cloud Recesses to be a consort in Lan Wangji's harem. (tl;dr concubine!wwx is already married to emperor!lwj, who has no idea. drama ensues.)

"Yes, so embarrassing! I'm so glad you understand my plight!" Wei Ying feels elated. He was prepared to add even more sordid details to his fake story, but apparently, Lan Zhan is already fully invested. This is great. This is wonderful. "So you understand why I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend at my sister's wedding now, right?" Silence. “Could you…Could you repeat that?” Lan Zhan finally says in a strained voice. “I’m not sure I’m following your logic here.” (Or: Wei Ying needs a date to his sister's wedding. He enlists the help of his ex-boyfriend, Lan Zhan. It doesn't go according to plan.)

A report of a minor but inexplicable misfortune brings Wei Wuxian and a troop of six young Lans to a small town. Yet while an outing with their favourite teacher is as enjoyable as always, the juniors are disappointed with the results of their investigation; nothing out of the ordinary seems to be happening. That is, until the arrival of their other favourite teacher. Wei Wuxian is rather happy to see him, too. He missed him. *** Their investigation progresses, sometimes along unexpected paths.

In Gusu, there is a story about the most beautiful man in the world—and the wager he gives to anyone who wants to take his hand in marriage. Being from Yunmeng, however, Wei Wuxian doesn't hear a word about this story until his aimless wandering brings him to the outskirts of Caiyi Town. -- (in which there is wei wuxian, a rabbit, and a secret.)
