    Summary

    “Don’t cough blood on me,” Lan Qiren said, voice as prim and proper as it had ever been.

    “Wouldn’t dream of it,” Wen Ruohan replied, teeth clenched and brow furrowed as he fought off the pain. Blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth despite his words. “I suppose the stain of red on white is terribly hard to get out.”

    His tone was bitter, angry, and he was probably making some sort of very clever metaphorical point, given the Lan sect’s white robes and Wen sect’s emblem of red and white.

    But -

    (Lan Zhan, Wei Wuxian said. Do you think we made it - worse?)

    Summary

    Sizhui had asked why he wore it, and Lan Wangji had said something about restraint that sounded mysterious and grand, and Wei Wuxian had said it’s a no-fun ribbon. Once you put it on, you have to promise not to have any fun, and Lan Wangji had said Wei Ying, in that voice he had.

    Can I have one? Sizhui had asked, and Lan Wangji had looked strange and fond, and Wei Wuxian had said, does no one listen to me around here?

    The one where the Burial Mounds timeline gets expanded and Sizhui grows up a Wen.

    “what if everything was just as desperate and tragic and painful and stunning as in canon, but with more women, with more time for love to grow in unexpected places, with pov from all the characters I love most to see, and maybe, maybe, if we're very very lucky, a little bit more hope” -ao3 user finx

    Summary

    It is the one day of the month, when Lan Zhan gets to see his mum. This month is different. They are outside. His mother has somehow managed to convince the Lans to allow all three of them, and 12 Lan disciples, to go to the market. 'Like normal children get to do with their mummies and daddies' his mother had said. Of course his daddy isn't here.

    Lan Zhan chews on the too sweet strawberry and looks through the crowds. There is a small boy, around his age, sitting on a dirty blanket on edge of the street. No one else seems to notice him, everyone's just passes him by, some of them even step on the corner of the little blanket. The boy is looking at Lan Zhan. Staring really. Lan Zhan stares back. The boy smiles at him, his smile is warm and friendly, a bit like mum's. He waves at Lan Zhan.

    Inspired by the scene in the donghua that seems to suggest Wei Ying and Lan Zhan met as children.

    In which Lan Zhan and his mother meet a homeless Wei Ying on the streets and decide to help him find his parents.

    Summary

    “You’ll still love me when we’re old and ugly, right?” Wei Wuxian asks. “We’ll have each other while everyone else is busy with their kids and their dogs and annoying in-laws.”

    And Lan Wangji asks, "Why Wait?"

    Summary

    The woman behind the bar squinted at him as she dried the inside of a cup, then her eyes widened in realisation. “Are you…you can’t be who I think you are!” 

    Wei Ying winced and waited for the accusations to roll off her tongue…‘You’re the Yiling Patriarch who eats babies’ or ‘You’re the Yiling Patriarch who makes crops wither and die just by looking at them’ or…

    “You’re that Yiling Patriarch that was jilted by the high and mighty Hanguang Jun!”
