    Summary

    “Use your power on me,” he told Wei Ying. “Ask me what I want tonight.”

    Wei Ying studied his eyes, then nodded. His hands still spanned Lan Zhan’s hips. He took in a slow breath, and as he breathed out, Lan Zhan felt it—a sparkling, tumbling rush of magic that raced through him like a spring downpour. It knocked down barriers and whisked off the heavy cover that had sheltered and oppressed him all his life. Words of truth swirled easily to the surface, like floating petals.

    “What do you want tonight?” Wei Ying whispered.

    “I want to kiss you,” Lan Zhan said. “I want to touch you. I want you to touch and kiss me.” It felt so good, this magic. It was the most exquisite freedom. Why had he ever feared it?

    This big bang fic has an original score and it made me cry. Also, the fic itself was so good. A love letter to the haunting sea

    Summary

    “So, what is Poor-gege doing here?”

    Lan Jingyi almost smacks into the ground with the way he trips over his feet.

    “Uhm—! Excuse me?? Poor!”

    “Stop being so clumsy, Poor-gege,” A-Yuan huffs as he impatiently tugs at Jingyi’s hand.

    Lan Jingyi relents himself to being dragged again, however not without narrowing his eyes at the little boy.

    “Just because I’m not your Rich-gege doesn’t mean I’m poor,” he mumbles under his breath.

    A-Yuan gives a shrug and hums noncommittally,

    “If Poor-gege says so.”

    Summary

    No matter how well Wei Wuxian thought he could hide away his things, Jiang Cheng was always better at finding them, in the way that younger brothers always were. Even when they had been young men trying to hide wine, or illustrated books, or any manner of forbidden items from each other, Jiang Cheng could always discover Wei Wuxian’s caches.

    The small child Wei Wuxian tried to conceal was no different.
    ----
    Or -- What happens if Jiang Cheng finds Yuan first?
