    Summary

    Lan Wangji could not hope to find any other person like this, at least not so far from their home. But wu speak to birds and beasts across the realm. He may be known to them. He may be recognized, somewhere. The ravens and the hawks hear the name and cry it to the skies; the mouse and the fox both carry it with them through snow-washed fields. Below ground the beetles gnaw it into roots and bark. Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian.

    OR: Tasked with finding the Yunmeng Jiang's missing wu, a young man called Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji recruits a familiar and travels across the land in search of him. His familiar, a black hare with a little too much personality, seems to have his own secrets.

    Summary

    “Yiling Patriarch,” he begins, and Wei Wuxian’s face clouds.

    “Please. That’s not – you know me, Zewu-jun. What’s wrong? Why are you here?” He walks over and Lan Xichen sees he has no weapon, not even his flute. He came to meet Wangji unarmed, defenseless. With a smile on his face.

    “I’m here to ask for your help. It’s Wangji. He’s ill.”

    Summary

    In the end, it had been the Yiling Patriarch’s stratagems and his fierce fighting which had turned the tide of the war. He had killed both Wen Ruohan’s sons, and floored the traitor so that Meng Yao could strike the final blow. His status as the strongest warrior on the field had been undeniable.

    Thus, the offer extended to him by the Lan court. Take his place as the Emperor’s consort, the only one permitted to lay hands upon the Emperor, the only one to share his bed with him while he sleeps, unaware and vulnerable. His last, best line of defense.

    Or: Forced by his court to accept a consort, Lan Wangji is certain he has seen enough of the so-called Yiling Patriarch to know what he's getting: an uncouth ruffian. Slowly, he begins to realise that even an emperor's assumptions can be misplaced.

    Summary

    Wangji stays on the piano bench as they’re closing up. Wei Ying chews his lip, knowing what he’s going to do but horrified at himself. But what’s the alternative: kick the guy out and find him sleeping beside the dumpster in the morning? And that’s if the cops don’t take him in for vagrancy.

    “Wangji?”

    Wangji looks up.

    Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?”

    Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes.

    “Great!”

     

    Fuck.

     

    Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

    Summary

    His phone buzzes again, and Lan Zhan picks it up this time. To his surprise, it's a message from the Blood Bank.

    The Blood Bank was a way for him to make money faster, beyond his usual teaching job, to help his mother. He tried not to think too much about the fact that there were random faceless vampires feasting on his blood.

    Frowning to himself, Lan Zhan clicks the message.

    "You have been selected as a special provider for a very prestigious client! The Yiling Laozu has chosen you to be a part of his regular collaborators!"

    Lan Zhan raises an eyebrow when he sees the name.

    Very few vampires are known amongst humans, because they keep well hidden, but Yiling Laozu is one of the most well-known ones.

    -

    Lan Zhan's blood gets the attention of a vampire who is well known to the entire world for his creations: Yiling Laozu. At the same time, a beautiful man he meets on a rooftop tries flirting with him, his aura strangely alluring.

    Summary

    “How are you this polite? They would have eaten you alive in here, Young Master or no.” 

    He’s not wrong. “Well, you certainly have the measure of Koi Tower. Have you been here long?”

    “I’ve been here long enough that Jin Guangyao and his idiot father forgot that I get bored if they ignore me for too long. Not that I can really blame them. It’s been a very busy few days. Young Madam Jin died, did you hear?” 

    Fuck you. The words are half her brother’s and half her mother’s and as such they don’t cross her lips.

    Using the Yiling Laozu's notes to bring Jiang Yanli back turns out to be the best worst mistake Xue Yang has ever made.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji lived for ballet. His life revolved around it, for that moment where the music would swell and the curtain would rise. Only during his most recent tour, the spark was gone. He no longer looked forward to going out on stage. So he does the only thing he can think of, duck his Uncle's reminders about audtitions and commit to helping his brother run their mother's ballet studio. Only to find the walls shaking with bass heavy hip hop.

    The man responsible? The new teacher Lan Wangji's brother hired to broaden their offerings, a man named Wei Ying. He's confusing and chaotic, and perhaps exactly what Lan Wangji needs to rekindle his spark.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian's life had derailed the moment he presented as an omega. He felt like the same person, despite his new biological reactions, yet everyone acted like his whole life should change. How could a poor omega like him become an engineer? Even if his poor little brain could figure out the math, who would want to hire him? Which made his promotion to the Director of Engineering that more rewarding. It was proof that his hard work and planning was finally coming together. He could pratically taste his future on the horizon.

    There was nothing that could derail his plans....except maybe running into the alpha that had started it all.

    Summary

    Aware that his social skills are better for closing business deals than attracting a mate, Lan Wangji had resigned himself to a lonely life. Until a video from an unknown 'friend' not only brings his high school crush back into his life, but reveals their status as an omega. It ignites a spark in Lan Wangji, pushing him to make Wei Wuxian his mate no matter the cost.

    Wei Wuxian's last few months have been hell. After surviving the fire that burnt down the Jiang Estate, which killed his adoptive parents and landed his sister in a coma, he and his brother learn their parent's company had debts. Debts the Wens are now coming to collect. Barely able to keep his brother fed and housed, Wei Wuxian realizes he has one last card that might be able to keep his brother out of jail. His status as a male omega.

    Summary

    In a world where magic is in decline, huli jing Wei Wuxian's sole goal is repaying debt his family owes the Jiangs. Something he’d failed at so far. At least this time he can blame the Emperor himself.
    Lan Tradition holds that Emperors cannot publicly appear until they’ve found their mate, so a kingdom wide search is held. And Wei Wuxian qualifies to be a candidate! Locked in the palace, Wei Wuxian must find a way to get kicked out before his one night with the Emperor. Something that would be easier if it wasn’t for the Captain of the Guard Lan Zhan foiling his every move.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian grits his teeth, knowing he has no other choice. Not if it means Lan Zhan’s life. Besides, the Cloud Recesses has the best library and a long history of dealing with curses. It’s the most logical choice, even if he’d like to punch logic in the face right now.

    “Wei Ying?” Lan Zhan asks.

    He gives him a grim smile. “Looks like you’re finally getting your wish, Lan Zhan.”

    Lan Zhan stares back at him, expression blank.

    “I’m coming to Gusu with you.”

     

    Or: Lan Wangji gets hit with a curse that requires Wei Wuxian to stay in close proximity at all times. Everything only gets more complicated from there.

    Summary

    Wei Ying leans on the bar. “So, what can I get you, Lan Zhan? Do you want your signature drink, or do you want to try something new?”

    Lan Zhan gets lost in the pretty face pushed in less than a foot from his own--and in the giddy realization that Wei Ying remembers his name. “Something new,” he says finally.

    “Great! It's harder since you don't do alcohol, but I like a challenge.” He winks at Lan Zhan before spinning around to peruse the shelves. “Are you more of a sweet or sour guy?”

    Lan Zhan’s taste in beverages pretty much begins and ends with green tea, but today is a day for risks. For climbing out of his rut and trying new things. He decided that in the last two minutes. Perhaps Wei Ying's enthusiasm is contagious.

    Or Wei Ying is a bartender who makes terrible drinks. Lan Zhan keeps going back to his bar anyway.

    Summary

    Not satisfied by his conquest of Gusu, Wen Ruohan dreams up a new way to increase his power over the cultivation world. He organizes a contest of martial skill and demands that each sect send a champion to compete for the grand prize: the hand in marriage of Lan Xichen, omega firstborn of the fallen Lan sect leader, and current captive in Nightless City.

    Displeased at being ordered around, the sects comply in name only, sending their weakest, most incompetent disciples to contest for Lan Xichen's hand. Only Qinghe Nie sends someone capable of challenging Wen Xu for victory: their alpha heir Nie Mingjue - rumored betrothed of Lan Xichen, and the contestant everyone secretly hopes will win.

    That is, everyone but the Wen - and an untrained, unskilled contestant named Meng Yao, a beta whose only hope for victory rides on the sponsorship of Wei Wuxian, the mysterious, terrifying and definitely murderous Monster of Yiling.

    May the best cultivator win.
