    Summary

    The truth of the matter was that when it came to taking care of people and their problems, both he and Wei Ying were of one mind. However, whereas Lan Wangji was taught to care for himself as much as other people, Wei Ying, from early age, was taught that him having needs was burdensome. He disregarded his own pain with frightening ease and offered up evey part of himself for others to use with no reservation.

    Thus, Lan Wangji made sure that his husband's needs were never overlooked, his hurts never unadressed.

    So it was that when they purified an ancient temple and its goddess benevolently offered them each a wish in return, Wei Ying asked for his family: for Jiang Cheng to never have lost his parents and his core, for Jiang Yanli to never have lost her husband and her own life because of him; Lan Zhan asked for Wei Ying.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji time travels, to a point in time in which Wei Wuxian is suffering, alone, in the burial mounds. And what can he do but rescue him?
    -
    "Uncle, I come with news of Wangji." Lan Xichen's face is strange, and Lan Qiren is suddenly feels a headache coming on. He has no idea what to expect of the forthcoming news.
    "Yes," He says, "What of Wangji?"
    Some townspeople said they caught sight of a figure in white, on a sword, flying, in the early hours of the morning. Leaving the Burial Mounds."
    'The Burial Mounds? What did Wangji deem so important that he left without a word, and during curfew as well, to such an accursed place?'
    "Apparently, he had another with him." Lan Xichen tongue seems to trip over itself at this point, and his eyes are twitching near-imperceptivity by habit. "They were sharing a sword, and one seemed… injured."
    Lan Qiren nods impatiently. "Continue," He commands.
    "The other was wearing black and red robes. I have reason to believe that was…" There was an uncomfortable pause. "Wei Wuxian, uncle." Xichen finishes.

    Summary

    If anyone asked Wei Ying to pinpoint where, exactly, things shifted, he wouldn’t be able to give a satisfying answer.
    High school was easy. High school, despite its rigid schedule and arbitrary rules that drove him insane, brought structure.
    University is a lot more work.
    He’s willing to put in the effort, he tries, but it just. . .doesn’t work. At least it hasn’t worked yet.
    Most of his classmates, he’s heard them talking about their schedule, their routine. Some prefer a strict one, some function better when it’s looser, but Wei Ying has tried both and found balance in neither. He’s tried, he tries, honest to god, but the moment where it just clicks and the gears run smoothly? Hasn’t happened. Won’t happen, probably, not for him.
    He tries not to think about the rest of his life post-university.

    Despite excelling in every way during high school, Wei Ying finds himself struggling to overcome the difficulties university brings. Constantly exhausted and numb, he really doubts his life is going to get better any time soon. But when he stumbles across Lan Zhan, years after they parted on bad terms, he finds out that might not be true, after all.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian, the Crown Prince of the Fox Tribe of Qing Qiu, enlists the help of Lan Wangji, the Second Prince of the Dragon Tribe of the Nine Heavens, to escape the endless matchmaking sessions he's been forced to attend.

    It goes...well, 'according to plan' are not exactly the words he would use. Lan Wangji, on the other hand, is way too pleased with himself.
