    Summary

    Their Chief Cultivator’s command to bring them all together seemed oddly more pointed this year than it had before. Or Nie Niubai’s had, at the very least. He suspected he hadn’t been the only one wondering why Wen Ruohan had abruptly demanded their presence in Nightless City, when such requests usually came with far more pomp and circumstance and less command.

    Following an unexpected discovery at Wen Ruohan’s latest Discussion Conference, Nie Mingjue’s father changes the course of fate for many different lives.

    Summary

    Yu Ziyuan has been dead for over a hundred years, so it's a bit of a surprise when she dies.

    One minute she's watching the youngest Lan daughter bow to her ancestors—it still baffles her that Wei Wuxian counts her as an ancestor, and that he's filial enough to have had a plaque made for her, but here they are—and the next she's choking on blood, her eyesight dimming. Wei Wuxian, she thinks furiously, what have you done now?

    Then she wakes up.

    Because her bladder is full.


    Yu Ziyuan finds herself back in Lotus Pier, before any of her children have been born, and decides that things would go better if Jiang Yanli is the heir, not Jiang Cheng. One change leads to another, and another, and another.

    And is Cangse Sanren flirting with her?

    Things do not always go smoothly, but sometimes the family you find is the one you should have had all along.

    It's a pretty light Mature that could probably have been okay as a heavy Teen. Fully written and beta-read; 73k of raising children, standing up for what one values, and falling in love.

    Summary

    “Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

    Summary

    He holds out his hand. “Jake.”

    Bradshaw looks at him like he’s the dumbest man alive, his gaze sharpening with condescension. “You’re my engineer, I know who you are.”

    “So sue me for being polite.”

    His jaw works, but after an interminable second he steps forward and takes Jake’s hand. “Bradley.”

    Jake hangs onto the handshake for an extra second and smirks. “Such an honor to meet you in person. The king of IndyCar, finally gracing us with his presence here in F1. Can’t believe it.”

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.

    Summary

    Shane swipes out of a few notifications from the ESPN app, all clickbait about Scott Hunter’s speech at the NHL awards. He can’t deal with those right now, his brain is not online. Then he sees the Snapchat notification, from Ilya.

    Shane puts his phone down and blinks a few times. He picks it up and checks the display again. The notification is still there.

    He hasn’t gotten a Snap from Ilya since the end of the season back in April, after they crashed out of the Frozen Four without making it to the final. Shane saw him a few times after that, at team meetings and at the annual sports awards dinner, but he’s pretty sure Ilya left campus before the end of the semester. Shane wasn’t expecting anything from him until the fall, when he’s back at school.

    He rubs his eyes and rolls onto his side, swiping the app open. It’s a video.

    or, the boys are in college, featuring self discovery, russian diminutives, and (to ilya's chagrin) the scott hunter of it all.

    Summary

    [But Shane wants to know what puts Ilya in the mood for it. He wants to know when sending a picture of his own dick dripping spit will get Ilya absolutely wild and when it will be just a pleasant little start to things. When making his blowjobs sloppy will have Ilya falling apart and needy and when it will just leave Ilya pleased with himself and mouthier than usual.

    He wants to know what will get Ilya staring at Shane’s mouth like he might die if he doesn’t find out what will come out of it next, and what makes him look like he can’t wait to put something in it.

    Because the thing is, Shane knows an implied challenge when he hears one. Especially ones from Ilya Rozanov.]

    OR,

    Sometimes there’s a particular thing Ilya wants, something Shane doesn’t mind giving him when Ilya wants it. If he can figure out when Ilya wants it. Which he will. Because it’s definitely all about when Ilya wants it. Definitely…definitely that.

    Summary

    “I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”

     

    Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.

     

    “Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”

     

    ___

    Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.

    Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

    Summary

    Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.

    He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.

    In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is thirty-five years old, lanky and tough-skinned from the turns his life has taken. He's dirty with synthetic grit and the skin-sticky feeling of being in space too long, but he'd forgone a dry shower at the docking portal. He hadn't wanted to miss catching the hover, and it's been years since he's needed to look presentable. Years since there's been anyone he wanted to impress with his appearance. He should have known better. The Mess Popo had promised the views on Yueliang were beautiful. Wei Wuxian clutches the strap of his pack and swallows his snack around the sudden lump in his throat. She had no idea how beautiful.

    "Wei Ying?"

    Years after the war, Wei Wuxian finds someone he'd thought long dead.

    Summary

    What does it mean to be human, anyway?

    “Here we go,” Wei Ying mumbles, and Jiang Cheng doesn’t have the chance to ask what that means before Wei Ying’s squaring up his shoulders and moving in a way that cuts a swath through the crowd.

    Summary

    This is not a love story. This is a story about love.

    There was a corpse in Wei Ying’s shower.

    He blinked hard, really expecting something to change (it, predictably, didn’t), and then backed out of the room, never taking his eyes off the way that the blood drip-drip-dripped off the hung toes.

    The door closed gently behind him.

    Summary


    It's not that Jiang Cheng can't do a quadruple flip followed by a triple toeloop. It's that his mother seems to think that's still not good enough.

    Jiang Cheng is grateful that Huaisang doesn’t have the same kind of family life that he does, all - messy with expectations and cravings for closeness and nothing but vague filial piety where love is meant to be.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.

    He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?

     

    Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.

     

    He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.

     

    Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

    "I am taking the professorship. I am also taking the boys."
