    Summary

    While growing up, it was assumed that Lan Xichen was next in line for succession.  No one could believe it when the moody and quiet second son of the emperor presented as the alpha and not the more amicable and diplomatic first son.

    Lan Xichen knew his younger brother would have rather travelled the lands to seek out honour and justice, instead of being forever bogged down in the palace with scrolls.  There was also the constant badgering from the Empress Dowager, Lan Qiren, that Wangji needed to contend with as well.  The Empress Dowager wanted Lan Wangji to continually expand his harem and produce more potential heirs.

    There was no doubt that the harem was the thing Lan Wangji hated the most about being the emperor.  He would never be able to find a true mate.  He was expected to bond with the omega that produced his first alpha heir and make him his empress.  Nobody except Lan Xichen knew that underneath the aloof and icy exterior, a romantic soul harboured. A younger Wangji had always dreamed of finding and bonding with someone he truly loved.

    or The story of the rise of an omega manservant, Wei Wuxian, in the Imperial harem of the Lan Empire ruled by Emperor Lan Wangji.

    Summary

    Wei Ying falls in love with the idea of a man and it is all he needs: a comfortable life in his head he can escape to when life grows too dull or too stressful. He could have this fantasy forever, as long as he keeps it all in his head.

    The fantasy has other ideas.

    Summary

    All in all, the escape from their alien kidnappers plan had been going off pretty well until the ship malfunctioned. Not Wei Wuxian’s fault, he promised. Just one of those fate is a bitch things. One moment he was snapping the neck of their second guard, the next the spaceship was crashing onto… a planet. A fucking cold planet, if the snow visible through a hole in the top side hull was any indication.

    Yeah… so they were going to die.

    “We’re going to die!” one of the girls moaned, her voice high and screechy and when Wen Qing suggested someone go and scout the land, see if they lucked out and landed in Canada or if there were any local aliens—friendly or otherwise—Wei Wuxian was glad to volunteer, just so he could get away from her screams.

    Summary

    "I’m Wei Ying, nice to meet you.”

    Lan Zhan stares at the hand being offered, brain still trying to process the hurricane of a person in front of him.

    “Lan Zhan,” he replies, and shakes the hand once, politely. “Is this your seat?”

    or, sometimes a chance meeting on a train and twenty four hours together are enough for two people to fall in love.

    UPDATE: Three extras added for the epilogue 🎄

    “To Holden Caulfield, and Budapest.

    Here’s our promise, here’s your acknowledgement.

    I think about you always.”

    Summary

    Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.

    He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.

    Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.

    -

    Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.
