Summary
“Just—” Rumi takes a deep breath. “Just act as if I wasn’t here. Explore your relationship the way you would if you were alone. I mean—obviously close the door if you want to get, um, more intimate, but… I—I don’t want to freak out every day thinking I’m a liability to you guys. I don’t want to worry about you not fully living this relationship the way you want just because I’m around. I want you to be free. Is that—Does that make any sense?”

Summary
“Well, who are you here with, then?”
And this part is fun. Vi can't help that it feels good, in a petty way, flexing her status like this. She worries sometimes about the ways she's changed since crawling her way out of Zaun but this, the kick she gets out of turning the tables on rich upper city assholes, is in her blood. She twists in her seat, leaning one elbow back against the bar and, yep, there's Caitlyn absently nodding along to what the guy she's talking to is saying as she continues her lunatic vigil. She looks a bit startled to have been caught staring, but doesn't drop her gaze, only shifts on her feet across the room. Tuned in. Ready.
It’s rude to point, Caitlyn has scolded her dozens of times since Vi’s entry into Piltie society. So of course Vi takes particular pleasure in doing it now anyway, aiming her finger at Caitlyn through the crowd. “Her.”
-
Caitlyn's got a jealous streak as wide as the River Pilt and twice as deep.
Vi doesn't really mind.

Summary
Jiang Cheng is just leaning down to kneel for meditation, Sandu in hand, when he hears it. "Riiiiiiiiiib-bit." He looks down at the frog on Sandu’s pommel as it blinks at him. Jiang Cheng stares. Then the frog takes a leap off the pommel and goes sailing in an elegant arc over the balcony to plunk into the lotus lake.
For a moment he can only stare, dumbstruck, at the ripples where the frog landed. He looks down at his sword, now pommelless, and back at the lake.
Yes, this is a pommel frog fic, what more do you want?

Summary
"I've never even kissed anyone before, Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian reveals his greatest shame. It's okay, though, because it's Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan would never judge him for it. "I don't know how! What if I go to kiss her, and I do it wrong, and I, like, bang our heads together and knock her out and have to take her to the ER? Or what if I go to kiss her and slobber all over her? Or what if I go to kiss her and miss her lips and stick my tongue in her eye? What if I—"
"Wei Ying," Lan Zhan says calmly. Ah. This one means, you're running away with your thoughts, Wei Ying. Calm down and come back to the point. Lan Zhan is so good with words.
"Right," Wei Wuxian says with a sigh. "So. You've been with women before, right, Lan Zhan?"
-OR-
Oblivious "straight boy" Wei Ying gets sex lessons from his "totally not in love with him and definitely very experienced" college roommate, Lan Wangji.
