    Summary

    ETA - Second chapter up June 10. Fic is completed! Hope you like it.

    I extended some scenes from Episode 5 (specifically the fade to black ones 🙈)
    I tagged this as period typical underage though the show is ambiguous about it juuuust in case.

    Anastasia didn't know when she fell in love. Or if it really was love at all.

    Was it in the garden? His eyes reflecting the sunset, bathing him in hues of rose and gold.  The scent of honeysuckle and jasmine shimmering in the air as her lips met his; a kiss soft and slow as a drizzle of honey.

    Summary

    To his unbridled horror, Wei Wuxian sees his face up on the giant screen in real time for the entire stadium to see. Still laughing as his face takes a moment to catch up with the sheer mortification he’s feeling, A-Yuan perched on his shoulders as the Lan Wangji cape drapes over them.

    There’s also commentary.

    “—scenes from the stands here, this dad and his son making for an adorable twosome all decked out in support for local hero Lan Wangji—”

    “—Speaking of, our man seems to have taken a little tumble—”

    Wei Wuxian finds Lan Wangji on the field. The ball is nowhere near him but he seems to have fallen inexplicably backwards, sitting on the grass as he looks up at the giant screen.

    Right up at the footage of him.

    (AU where A-Yuan is professional footballer Lan Wangji's biggest fan, and his babysitter Wei Wuxian wants nothing more than to forget his days as the photographer of their school football team, calling out to the captain from the stands just so he'd look around at him.)

    Summary

    “Charles,” Raven says. “Seriously, are you okay?”

    Charles is fantastic, really. “I’m fantastic,” he says. “Really.” He’s just a bit sore, is all. Also, exhausted. Also, thinking rather too much about a certain blue-eyed ginger to whom he has spoken approximately two words. “Do you know an Erik Lensherr?”

    Summary

    Summer 1999.

    Promised freedom, change and exploration. The house to himself and the world finally his―and plenty of time to work on a brand new project―Nikolai finds himself suddenly burdened by the arrival of a complete stranger, invited to stay over for the estival session. Not his fault that his plans are thrown in disarray, but perhaps he can attempt to turn this bad luck around.

    What he does not count on, however, is that, through a series of quick snapshots and stolen moments, this stranger will offer him far more than he could ever dare imagine―while also giving a new meaning to artistic exploration so that, in the end, Nikolai has no choice but to discover himself too.
