Summary
The world is too bleak and too loud and too lonely. Lan Zhan, exhausted, sinks away from it.
(In which Lan Zhan isn’t coping quite as well as he thinks, which becomes all too clear when Wei Ying returns from the dead.)

Summary
“I am here,” Lan Zhan says. “I am here, with Wei Ying.”
Wei Wuxian shudders and closes his eyes.(Or a Sleeping Beauty case fic, where WWX and LWJ go on a night hunt and are haunted by the past. Literally.)

Summary
Okay, fine, MAYBE in retrospect, going for the doggie door wasn’t the best idea, but look, some psycho in a mask corners you in a garage, and staying cool under pressure? Not really a thing.
(Or, Tatum survives and retakes the role of Secondary Female Lead.)

Summary
“I’m an Addams,” Debbie protests indignantly. Immediately after making this statement, Debbie realized that it was true.
(Or, Wednesday wants to exorcise Debbie. Debbie wants to kill Wednesday. A negotiation begins.)

Summary
It’s a humbling realization to discovery that Clary, of all people, has a more reasonable and well-thought out strategy to rescue Magnus, one that doesn’t involve anyone being semi-permanently murdered. The alliance rune is clever, nearly guaranteed to work, and best of all, temporary.
Well, Alec tries to tell himself later. Two out of three isn’t so bad.
(In which the alliance rune is unexpectedly permanent, and everyone deals with the fallout.)

Summary
"Are you each other's beards?" Wei Ying guesses, mostly joking.
Lan Zhan says, "I don't know what that means."
Wen Qing says, "Yes." Then, to Lan Zhan, she says, "It's what we're doing."

Summary
Perhaps this month will pass amiably. Jin Ling will come to Wei Ying to make trouble, they’ll bond over catching frogs and sneaking contraband, the way Wei Ying is dreaming they will, and perhaps they might even speak of more serious matters. And at the end of the month, perhaps the two will feel more like family.
Perhaps he was worried for nothing.
Or: Jin Ling comes to study at Cloud Recesses, and Lan Wangji tries to hold everyone together.

Summary
“A-Yuan,” he says, carefully, “did—did you make the flowers grow like this?”
A-Yuan shakes his head in exasperation. “Baba, I said. Doctor Flowers did it.”
“Doctor Flowers,” Lan Zhan repeats, pointing at the tiny plum tree, just to confirm that his son is suggesting a magical tree named Doctor Flowers sprouted overnight and made their tame family project turn into a verdant jungle.
A-Yuan nods. “Doctor Flowers,” he confirms. “He’s funny! I like him.”-
A mysterious garden blooms on Lan Zhan's rooftop. His internet forum pen pal gives great gardening advice but never seems to sleep. The man who works at the florist, who keeps reviving the plants that Lan Zhan can't seem to keep alive, has a beautiful smile.
These things are related.

Revealing That You Can't Forget Me by phnelt for el_em_en_oh_pee

Summary
The thing Nie Huaisang did not anticipate about successfully enacting a decade long revenge scheme is that afterwards he was left at a rather loose ends.
It wasn’t as if he’d spent every moment since his brother died wailing at the heavens and gnashing his teeth in Jin Guangyao’s general direction -- he did have a sect to run, and still does, but it had always been a thing to pick up and worry at during his idle moments.
On long carriage rides, during sect leader Yao’s speeches, at night when the canopy of his bed stretched further and further away from him and the edges spread out until he felt like the only star in an endless black sky, cold and untouched, he always had the candle of revenge to focus on.
And now he doesn’t even have that.
***
Nie Huaisang needs a hobby. He turns to writing specialist literature.

Summary
The first time you touch someone you're fated to love, you leave a mark on their skin. If they will love you in return, they'll mark you where you touched them. The deeper the color, the deeper the connection.
Wei Ying has no marks at all.
