    Summary

    In college, Lan Zhan meets Wei Ying.

    Wei Ying is the most irritating person Lan Zhan has ever met. Loud. Obnoxious. Full of himself. He is clever in the way people who are aware that they’re clever are, and vocal about it as well. He is insufferable. And impossibly, unfairly gorgeous.

    He is also straight.

    aka it's always you the sad version.

    Time will never cease to pass, as all things do, as even the Yiling Patriarch one day will.

    Summary

    "Eddie ran us this one-shot once," Dustin says, and Steve startles. He startles because he was just thinking about Eddie fucking Munson and how he stupidly wishes Eddie was alive, was here at this moment. Startles because Dustin’s voice is low but he speaks right at the respite between faraway booms, and it’s a bit like a lightning strike, splitting the silence in a flash.

    "What’s a one-shot?" Steve asks.

    Summary

    "Ugh, Harrington, you’re really… You’re so horribly straight, aren’t you."

    "What’s that supposed to mean?!"

    "It means…" Eddie drops his hands and takes a deep breath and when he looks at Steve his face looks… different. None of that usual Eddie attitude. In a voice much softer, eyes cast low, he says, "It means, when a guy tells another guy that they’re gay, it’s often because… Jesus fucking Christ." He sighs, rubs his hand over his jeans, swallows. "I’m into you. That’s all."

    It's the summer after Vecna, everyone is figuring their shit out, and Steve learns that Eddie Munson is apparently into him.

    Summary

    "What exactly did he say, didi?" Lan Xichen asks gently, while already hatching elaborate revenge plans in his head.

    Wangji reverts to his mumbling.

    "I couldn’t hear what you said," Lan Xichen says, not without regret. He wants to be able to help, but if whatever this Wei Ying boy told his little brother is truly so horrible…

    "He said," Wangji says, loud as if to defy him — defy this Wei Ying boy, maybe — "that one day, he and I would get married."

    Ah.

    That was, indeed, very rude of him.

    Lan Xichen is an older brother, first and foremost.

    Summary

    "So it was all for nothing." Eddie laughs a humorless laugh. Figures, the one time he decides to be the hero, and it amounts to fucking nada.

    It took Steve way, way too long to notice that since he'd come back from the Upside Down Eddie was always, always fully covered by his clothes.

    Summary

    "Everyone hates me." Wei Ying swirls the tea in his cup and Lan Wangji’s heart aches. "When you find out what I did, you’re going to hate me the most."

    "I won’t—" Lan Wangji starts, but Wei Ying interrupts.

    "I know. You won’t find out. We’re never getting out of here, Lan Zhan. Every day is my birthday." He laughs.

    Summary

    "Dude, you’re not a sellout." Steve leans in his direction, arms crossed over his knees, gaze intent. Eddie looks away. "You’re amazing."

    Eddie groans.

    "Seriously," Steve continues relentlessly, driving the point home. "Those lyrics — no one writes like that, man. It was easier to save the world than to ask you for your number? I thought it was brilliant."

    Oh, if only he knew.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan is — a friend. A guy. That takes the pressure off, knowing they’re doing this as friends, that Wei Ying doesn’t have to perform. And, he’ll admit, it’s flattering that Lan Zhan wants him. The guy is gorgeous. And when he said "I know how to please a man," in that deep, silky voice of his —

    Summary

    "A-Zhan, when are you going to find somebody? I'm not getting any younger!"

    Neither is Lan Zhan. You don’t see him making such a fuss about it.

    The thing that makes all of it worse — the thing Lan Zhan will never admit to his uncle, is rather reluctant to admit even to himself, because it’s fine, it really is, he’s fine — it that Lan Zhan does want. A family. He wants what his brother has, except maybe with one less partner in the mix. Ultimately, he’d like to be — in a relationship.

    The problem is, relationships don’t really seem to want him.

    Summary

    "I am also arranged to be married," the dragon says, breaking the silence.

    "Ah?!" Wei Wuxian is gaping. Could it be that — certainly not. His… his intended husband is the Second Jade of Lan, only lower in rank to the clan leader. Surely, the night before his wedding, he wouldn’t be found wandering the grounds, catching stray foxes who broke through the Lan defensive spells. It has to be a coincidence.

    The night before his wedding, Foxxian, noted slut, sneaks out for one last night of debauchery.

    Summary

    "I’m so fucking horny," Wei Ying moans. She really is — she starts running a hand down her body, sweaty throat, unpleasantly sticky dip between her breasts, and then she is too tired to continue.

    "Wei Ying." Poor Lan Zhan, the heat has affected her even worse. Wei Ying’s beautiful, articulate Lan Zhan, spending the last three days with a blush high in her cheeks, blinking these slow, miserable blinks. "I know," Lan Zhan says. "Me too."

    Summary

    Wolfwood can’t really be blamed for grabbing the front of Vash’s stupid white shirt, pulling him close mid-slander, and yelling at him, "You can suck my balls, Needle-noggin!"

    Really, perfectly understandable.

    What’s less understandable is how, for one moment, Vash’s gaze, it… darts. Down there.

    While wandering the desert with Vash and his broken bike, Wolfwood contemplates.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji does not think in words. He thinks in colors. Music. Impressions. Patterns. He knows words because he has to, uses them to convey his meaning in a narrow and restricted world, but they are not his medium.

    His mother was the smell of gentians, their lovely blue color, the quiet of the Jingshi. A hint of cold, now and forevermore.

    His brother is the warmth of golden sunlight on deep brown wood. Soft, lilting notes. Smiling eyes.

    His uncle is the smell of ink, the bare white of a brand new scroll, the articulate brushstrokes of calligraphy.

    His guqin is his home. They are one and the same.

    His life is peaceful. Ordered.

    Or so it used to be.

    Summary

    Maybe if Wei Ying is sweet enough, generous enough, loving enough now, then Lan Zhan will forgive him for the disaster that had been earlier.

    Oh, who is Wei Ying kidding. Bad sex is forever. No one forgets it. He certainly hasn’t; all of his failed past attempts are currently parading themselves in his brain, like a fashion show of bad dick maneuvers.

    Their relationship may survive this — for a little while, at least — but Wei Ying? Wei Ying is doomed now. From now on, Lan Zhan won’t be able to look at him without thinking, this is the man who failed to top me.

    Wei Ying and Lan Zhan try something new.
