    Summary

    Four years ago, Wei WuXian was a normal student about to graduate with a master's degree in botanical studies, a photographer, a talented musician in his college's band, an aspiring chef, and newly engaged to the love of his life. But one October day would turn his life completely upside down after he was severely injured in an accident, leaving him profoundly hard of hearing and having forgotten everything he'd ever learned in college.

    Having no choice but to give up on his original career goals, Wei WuXian has learned to adjust to his new life as a volunteer music instructor, avid plant lover, and aesthetic Instagram blogger, but he cannot help but to feel bitter towards the man who ruined his life and wish things were different. On the verge of his breaking point four years later, something else will flip his life upside down— this time, showing him how to grieve, forgive, and move on.

    Summary

    “Wei Wuxian,” the man grits out, and he pauses with one hand reaching for the door handle. The disciple who had come in to speak to Lan Qiren brushes past him and exits the pavilion without a backwards glance. Wei Wuxian turns back to Master Lan, one eyebrow tilting up in question. “An urgent matter has come up,” Lan Qiren says, every word sounding like it’s being forcibly dragged from him. “His Excellency requests my presence. Their current instructor is ill, I was meant to take over classes for today,” he continues, gesturing towards the tiny juniors. He swallows heavily, and the next sentence sounds bitter. Choked. “I cannot leave them unattended.”

    Wei Wuxian just blinks at him.

    Or

    Wei Wuxian is asked (under duress) to babysit a class of tiny Lan cultivators for just a few minutes. A few minutes turns into an hour, turns into two hours, turns into an impromptu literal field trip and now there's an entire class that is weeks ahead of their curriculum, their most junior disciples have apparently imprinted on Wei Wuxian like baby birds, and Lan Qiren has no one to blame but himself.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, there lived a magical boy who was lost far, far away from home…

    Wei Wuxian is perfectly ready to celebrate another mediocre birthday alone when a ten-year-old shows up on his doorstep claiming to be his son.

    This kid is convinced they and everyone in his town were dragged away from their xianxia world and cursed to live as ordinary citizens in a mundane small town, and he's certain that Wei Wuxian is the key to saving them all.

    He sounds insane, but, well, Wei Wuxian likes him. Besides, what else can he do but follow him?

    (A Wangxian AU based on the show Once Upon a Time, no prior knowledge of said show necessary)
