    Summary

    “Seems like it worked,” says a nearby voice. There’s a faint undercurrent of excitement in it, bordering on glee. Like a child about to get a red packet for the New Year.

    Wei Wuxian looks in the direction of the speaker with a flinch, the light streaming in from the entryway momentarily blinding. He barely manages to stay upright, holding the bleeding arm close to his middle and balancing on the other.

    What the fuck is happening?

    “I guess he wasn’t so useless after all,” a second voice says. This one is calmer, and familiar to him. His eyes lock onto Jin Guangyao’s ever-pleasant face, then note the punk hanging back half a step behind him, grinning wide and looking a little manic.

    “Welcome back, Yiling Laozu,” Jin Guangyao says.

    or: Mo Xuanyu performs the resurrection ritual while he’s still living in Koi Tower.

    Wei Wuxian can have a little murder? As a treat?...

    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    Zhiji.

    It is just a saying, a word with no real spiritual or physical implications. It is not a manifested bond. Merely a description of a way of being, a thing agreed upon between two people. An attachment grown and cultivated and lived, moment by moment, one choice after another.

    It is not a real thing until one impossibility after another forges it as fact.

    One of them falls at Nightless City. The other is left to pick up the pieces.

    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

    "Xichen has loved his brother so much he thinks his heart might bear him ill will at this point. He will always ache when he is gone, like one of his arms is missing. He will try to soothe his brother’s troubled heart for a thousand years, if loving this boy is what will bring Wangji the most happiness, but it pricks at him like a doctor’s needles to see his brother’s open devotion treated like nothing by its very object."

    ----
    Lan Xichen and the brother he loved and nearly lost.
