    Summary

    Wei Wuxian wants a rematch. He wants a dozen rematches, wants to fight Lan Wangji on the rooftops where footwork is key, wants to brawl with him in a mountain field and pound him into the dry soil until his white robes are grass-stained and dirty and his perfect skin shines with sweat. He wants the joy of seeing Lan Wangji trapped beneath his weight, forced to concede the fight. He wants to taste sweat and blood in his mouth, and see Lan Wangji do the same.

    Or: During a summer where the Wen never invade, two alphas vie for dominance. Of several kinds.

    Summary

    Thirteen years is a long time to spend grieving for a dead man. Even longer to realise that the ache you feel inside your breastbone won’t go away, no matter how hard you try to move on.

    The seasons - they come and go, years start to blur together and Lan Wangji finds himself lost in moments like these ones, looking out the window of the Jingshi towards the night sky. He swallows down the lump in his throat, eyelids weighted and scratchy from too much emotion that loving a dead man brings.

    Still, he waits with the hopes that one day the universe would be kind enough to return to him the man he loves.

     

    (or, lan wangji’s pov of waiting 13 years for wei wuxian to return and then what happens after they meet again.)

    Summary

    Hiraeth (Welsh): A deep homesickness; an intense longing for something irretrievably lost.

    "And what becomes of us? The likes of me?"

    Lan Zhan shrugs. "They just have to be loved till they learn to believe," he says, looking straight into Wei Ying's eyes, as if it's only the most blatant truth, as if he has no reason to avert his eyes, as if it really is just that simple.

    "The likes of you."

    The Jiang Tech prodigy falls into an arrangement of mutual bedroom favours with his so-called nemesis, the second Lan heir, assuming the odds against them are high enough for complications like feelings to never rear their head. It takes a particularly wretched intervention for him to realize just how naive he had been.

     

    OR: same old finding love, losing it, and getting it back.

    Summary

    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.)

    Summary

    “I’ll help,” Lan Wangji says.

    “Hey, Lan Zhan...” Wei Wuxian unfolds his leg and gives his foot a playful kick. “I told you to think about it! This means I’d be here for a long time, taking up your time, your space, your peace. And I can’t pay you! I have nothing of worth to give. It isn’t as simple as-”

    “I’ll do it,” he says again, more forcefully this time. “You don’t have to give me anything.”

    Wei Wuxian looks away, hiding a small smile. Doesn’t he know Lan Wangji would do anything for him, by now? Doesn’t he understand that he holds Lan Wangji’s life in his hands?

    -

    Post-CQL Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses to ask for Lan Wangji's help with his new golden core.
    Together, they learn how to communicate, how to ask for things, and how to touch each other.

    Their relationship develops in between quiet dinners in the Jingshi, meditation sessions, core training and a lot of Lan Juniors speculation on whether or not they're actually together yet.
