    Summary

    Like a parasite, Wei Wuxian has this way of growing on people when you least expect it.

    Over the seasons, Lan Qiren slowly pieces back together his relationship with Wangji and learns to like Wei Wuxian in the process.

    (“Will you rejoin your sect?” As soon as the words leave his mouth, Lan Qiren regrets his wording.

    He is not surprised when Wangji’s eyes narrow, flashing with offence. “There is no need to rejoin what one has never left. I did not turn my back on my sect. My sect turned their backs on me.”)

    Summary

    "Friend?” Mobei Jun said, glaring at Shen Yuan.

    “I—” Shen Yuan began.

    “You left him.”

    A small gasp was the only sound heard for the moment. Shang Qinghua wasn’t sure if it came from himself or Shen Yuan.

    Oh. His husband wasn’t pissed.

    He was furious.

     

    Sometimes you need to stand up for yourself. In Shang Qinghua’s case, sometimes you need your hot demon husband to do it for you.

    Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan have a much needed conversation about their friendship:)

    Summary

    It's been a while since Shang Qinghua has been able to properly touch his husband.


    “We can finish this later, my king,” Shang Qinghua says in a rushed whisper. He steps out of Mobei Jun’s grasp and starts to pet down his hair. Not that Mobei Jun could ever look unpresentable, but the action makes Shang Qinghua feel useful.

    “I will hold you to it,” Mobei Jun says, a tinge of annoyance in his voice. Shang Qinghua is about to retort, but the voices have grown even closer, so he focuses instead on making sure they both don’t look like they were making out a minute ago.

    His lips still tingle with the intensity of their kiss, but Shang Qinghua puts it to the back of his mind. He’ll get a chance again later, to quell whatever excitement Mobei Jun had stirred within him.

    (It turns out that later is a lot further away than Shang Qinghua anticipates.)

    Summary

    “If you’re going to get married,” Jiang Cheng ground out, “then you’re going to damn well get married at Lotus Pier.”

    Wei Wuxian blinked once. Again. Then: “what?”

    Or: the one with sibling reconciliation, brother-in-laws from hell, and Jiang Cheng trying to sort through his feelings while acknowledging them as little as possible.

    Summary

    “If it regards an heir, Consort Shang has agreed to have this Mobei Jun’s child.”

    Shang Qinghua bites down hard on the inside of his cheek to suppress a laugh.

    (Well played, husband! The elders will be so scandalized that Mobei Jun suggested a man — a human one! — could give birth to an heir that they may not ask again for weeks! Months even!)

    So… why do the elders suddenly look so excited?!)

     

    In which Mobei Jun needs an heir, Shang Qinghua needs to breathe, and an ice demon girl needs a home.
