Summary
The last thing Jim wants is telepathic proof that Spock hates him, even though that's exactly what he gets. It's just one more thing Jim needs to figure out on his bumpy road to a destiny he doesn't even know if he believes in.

Bookmarker's Notes
""I did not know before that there was someone like you for me." Spock's face remains open, but it becomes solemn. For a moment, it reminds Jim of the older Spock's face, serene and calm and so full of fondness. "We are...different. But I think it is what I need." Spock's voice is pitched low as he adds, "And I know it is what I want.""

When getting legally married to Spock is the only way to keep him on the ship, Jim is more than willing to do so. (In fact, upon reflection, it turns out that there are very few things he wouldn't do for Spock.)

"“I can’t let you die.”
“Nor I you.”
“Spock, stop-”
“It is illogical ,” Spock says emphatically, something approximating desperation seeping through in his voice. "

"I can’t stand losing you, thought Jim. The longing in the thought was almost sweet—so bright, almost hopeful, yet painful to consider. I feel like I lose myself
You won’t, thought Spock."

Summary
“Steve Rogers. I haven’t thought about him in…God, at least ten years. Probably longer."
“Who is he?” Sharon asks, and perches on the corner of his desk, hands folded in her lap. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Bucky clears his throat, tosses the sticky note onto the desk. “Steve was…my college boyfriend. We almost got married.”It's been fifteen years since Bucky Barnes left Steve Rogers standing in a New York airport and never saw him again. Those fifteen years have brought him wealth and stability; everything his lower middle class Brooklyn upbringing had not provided. He is happy. He doesn't want for anything.
He doesn't need anything.
That's about to change.- Language:

SO FUCKING PRECIOUS
"Laurent slapped Damen on the chest with the back of his hand. Ignoring it, Damen leaned back in and pressed kisses down the side of Laurent’s throat and then moved inward, keeping each kiss gentle and long and open mouthed. Laurent was definitely sweaty, but Damen wasn’t bothered. He’d once ate an M&M off the floor with no notion of how long it had actually been there" -

“Sorry, I, uh. Laundry day caught up to me before I could catch up with it. I saw this shirt left in the washer a few days ago, and—“ Wei Ying blinks up at Lan Zhan through dark eyelashes that he wants to kiss, maybe, and gives him an uncharacteristically hesitant smile. “Do you mind?”
I mind the fact that we are not married, Lan Zhan thinks.
Wei Ying keeps borrowing Lan Zhan’s clothes. It is only mildly driving him insane.

In which WWX is horny and LWJ wants to marry his ass. fantastic WWX characterisation and adorable Lan bro dynamic.
"That was the first time.
Except it wasn’t. The truth is that Lan Zhan fell in love with Wei Ying at first sight. He fell deeper at second sight, at third sight, and at every single sight since. He was gone from the beginning."

Summary
Wei Ying lets the oars rest and leans back, tilting his head to look at Lan Wangji. “Did you find what you’re looking for? On the docks today?”
Lan Wangji wants to turn away from his gaze. He isn’t used to being seen. “No,” he says, because he doesn’t know how to explain what he’s looking for in the first place.
Wei Ying props his chin on his fist. “Can I guess?” Without waiting for an answer, he continues, “You’ve fallen in love with a pirate girl, and you’re waiting for her to steal you away to be the glittering jewel of her collection, so you can live on the open ocean together.” Lan Wangji narrows his eyes at him and Wei Ying bursts into laughter. "Ah well," he says. "I'll get it right next time."

Summary
Lan Wangji has been betrothed to Jiang Yanli since childhood. Lan Wangji likes Jiang Yanli, but he finds himself drawn to her brilliant, trouble-making sect brother Wei Wuxian. With war looming on the horizon, Lan Wangji is torn between maintaining sect alliances and following his heart's desire.
-
Hands fumble on Lan Wangji, hands that make his heart beat like a war drum. But it's not a call to war at all. Lan Wangji has to swat away Wei Ying's hands when they try to touch his forehead ribbon, however. There are rules. "Only my parents, my children, or my wife can touch this," he mumbles. "Not even Jiang-guniang until we are married."
"Ah." Something flashes across Wei Ying's expression, too quickly for Lan Wangji's dulled senses to catch. "Yes, I… I would never take something that belonged to Shijie."

Summary
Lan Wangji, generally speaking, did not make note of people. Of course there were exceptions, once faced with special kindness or distaste, but most often others left an imprint so light that it would fade from his mind in only a few days, if not minutes.
He didn’t feel right in his skin for the rest of the day after meeting Wei Wuxian.

Lwj simply can't help himself from falling in love over and over again.
"The look on Wei Wuxian’s face was not one he expected. Instead of teasing grin, the smile on his face was gentle, the gray in his eyes dipping into blackness. Lan Wangji felt sucker-punched.
“Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, finally you look at me,” Wei Wuxian said, tone soft.
Lan Wangji, suddenly out of words, swallowed dryly. “Mn.”

Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.
One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.
He did yelp a little. But very manfully.
“No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”
