    Summary

    The door slides open by itself, the light of the inside trails out of it, golden, the warmth of the house and the faint smell of steamed buns follow, invitingly. A-Yuan stands up and follows the stones towards the door, turning briefly to wave goodbye at him.
    “A-Yuan!” A voice calls from the inside, and Lan Wangji’s chest hurts. “My little radish, how you have grown!”
    The boy smiles, and walks in the house with a smile so bright it’s blinding, and then the door closes.
    Wangji is left behind, in the cold.

    (Once a week, Hanguang-Jun stands outside a secluded house in the Cloud Recesses, holding his son's hand, waiting for the door to open and wondering whether he will ever be allowed in.)

    Summary

    Something smells so good. Wei Ying closes his eyes, already feeling sleepy, and tries to identify where the scent is coming from. He turns his face to one side and then the other, chasing it, until his nose touches Lan Zhan’s cheek.

    He pulls back quickly, not freaking out, because it’s fine. He touched Lan Zhan’s cheek with his nose, and Lan Zhan smells really fucking good, and they’re lying down together on a very soft bed because Lan Zhan is too drunk to let go of him, and Lan Zhan is gay but Wei Ying isn’t, and it’s fine.

    Wei Ying swallows hard and closes his eyes again.

    -

    Wei Ying helps Lan Zhan out of an uncomfortable situation, and they grow close right away, becoming instant friends. To Lan Zhan, they become instant something else. With time, they only get closer and closer, and Wei Ying is forced to deal with his own feelings about Lan Zhan, and his perception of his own sexuality.

    Summary

    "No man shall die without his chest cracked open," Dr. Xie says coolly, not looking up from the book.

    Fastening his scrub cap, Wei Wuxian falters. "What?"

    "It is an old philosophy of cardiothoracic surgery," his attending continues. "What is the most common cause of death in the hours after open heart surgery?"

    "Bleeding, sir."

    "That's correct. And how do you suppose you control the bleeding once it starts?"

    Wei Wuxian pauses, his attending's meaning dawning on him. "You have to... stop it. By hand."

    "Precisely," Dr. Xie remarks. "If you learn nothing else from this residency program, know this: a bleeding heart is a silent killer. You have time to handle it..." He rises, snapping the book shut. "...until you don't."

    Or: Wei Wuxian was left heartbroken in his fourth year of medical school, unable to keep the best thing he ever had. He's been burying himself under a mountain of achievements ever since.

    Summary

    有仇不報非君子,有冤不伸枉為人
    yǒu chóu bù bào fēi jūn zǐ, yǒu yuān bù shēn wǎng wéi rén
    One who doesn't avenge an injustice is not a gentleman, one who doesn't redress a wrong is not a man.
    (idiom)

    Restrained by his Clan members, imminently to face his own judgment at their hands, Lan Wangji, Hanguang-jun watches helplessly as Wei Wuxian, Yiling Laozu is executed. He vows in that moment to avenge justice for him, changing the destiny of the cultivation world, and along with it, the eternal destiny of his beloved.

    With art by the illustrious ElvenQueens.

    Written for the LWJ Birthday Serenade 2022.

    Summary

    The Yiling Patriarch is a living legend—a terrifying, ancient force of nature, dispensing punishment or reward with implacable, indifferent fairness.

    Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is a weird but oddly charming guy who wanders around the cultivation world making fun of people's art and mooching food from sect leaders.

    It really upsets people to find out that they're the same person.
