    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Summary

    They wandered up and down the mountain with Xian-gege sniffling along the ground. A-Yuan wasn’t sure what he was looking for, or why they stopped to stay at the places they did. Sometimes they would travel days before finding somewhere Xian-gege deemed safe to settle.

     

    A-Yuan didn’t know why they never stayed in one place very long. They never came across other shifters or humans. A-Yuan couldn’t fully remember, but he was pretty sure he used to live with others like him. But that was a long time ago.

     

    Fox Wei Wuxian and crow A-Yuan live in the forest on a mountain, just the two of them. Until one day, they're discovered.

    Summary

    “Well—maybe you’ll get lucky, and Lan Wangji won’t like you at all. Then he might send you home and keep up his part of the deal anyway!”

    Nie Huaisang meant it as a joke, but Wei Ying sees potential.

    After all: if there’s one thing he’s learned in the months since the engagement, it’s that he is utterly unsuitable for a place like the Cloud Recesses.

    All he has to do is act like it.

     

    (...After a century of war, the great sects are looking to make peace by the most common means: marriage. When Wei Wuxian is promised to the Lan Clan, it is thought to be a grave insult.

    Things do not turn out the way anyone expects.)

    Summary

    The window slid open with ease and Wei Ying climbed out into the tree. He would get settled somewhere and then write to Lan Zhan. They could exchange letters, until Wei Ying managed to afford a phone so they could talk. Maybe Lan Zhan could visit him.

    Wei Ying stole away into the night, not then aware of what else he was taking away with him. He wouldn’t know for another four months the gift Lan Zhan had given him, growing inside him. He also didn’t know that he would never get any replies back from his letters to Lan Zhan.


    Thirteen years after Wei Ying received no response to his letters about their son, he meets Lan Zhan again.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is going to be offered to the Emperor Lan Wangji as a marriage prospect at the end of the Jiang sect's visit to the palace. He's not worried - the Emperor always says no to every offer. But he is bored, sitting around and waiting until the day of the ceremony so they can get it over with and go home.

    While he is exploring the palace, he coincidentally meets a beautiful man called Lan Zhan, who he loves to tease. These things may be related.
