Summary
"There was only a gasp and a single tear falling down Nureyev's cheek. It was glacial, the way his facade broke down while the tear made its way down his face, leaving only pain and fear.
Juno couldn't bear it and quickly crossed the distance between them. His eyes widened when Nureyev caressed his face and kissed him. It was… like nothing else.
Just like Peter Nureyev.
And yet after a year of “good morning” kisses and “come to bed” kisses and “you're so weird I love you” kisses… Juno couldn't help but cry at what this kiss meant. Because only a goodbye kiss could taste so bittersweet."
OR I was thinking about how this podcast could end and this is an scenario that stuck to my mind. I won't call it a prediction because I kinda hope we get a happier ending but I could live with something like this... *goes to cry in a corner*

Summary
Like with many other human predilections, Peter Nureyev would not consider himself to desire sex, at least in the traditional senses. Don’t get him wrong, he enjoys sex, quite a bit actually. But that drive, that passion, that desperation and growing heat and yearning to have another body against yours, had never been an aspect of his personal sex life.
Now, the desperation to hear your Lady make all those pretty noises, and to slowly, meticulously, make him lose all sense of language and conscious thought? Well, that was something Peter was well acquainted with. -

Summary
"The light that filters through the curtains into their bedroom has that soothing purple tone that feels nostalgic to Nureyev. Almost lavender. It washes over their bed, gently. A familiar weight rests against his back. A familiar warmth. He turns around and lets himself be drawn by the infinite and beautiful gravity of Juno Steel".
Nureyev tries (and fails?) to grapple with the events of Recipe for Disaster Part I. Please don't read it before you have listened to the ep to avoid *spoilers*.

Summary
"Never been a fan of blood. So I avoid looking at the slaughter-fest of my right leg. I stare at Nureyev instead, still frantically pushing chairs against the door. He has a far away look in his eyes, and his fingers keep trembling. When he runs out of chairs, he turns to look at me.
And he looks… angry. Angrier than he was ten minutes ago. I can still hear his words echoing in the building. It should have been me."
Nureyev and Juno have difficult conversations, or try to, in the worst of situations. Nevermind that Juno can hardly look at his right leg without feeling sick. Set in a hypothetical future season 5 episode. Whumptober prompt 6: It should have been me.

Summary
Do not go near Wei Ying.
The words are clear and concise, etched neatly into the unyielding stone of Gusu Lan's wall of rules by Grandmaster Lan Qiren himself. It's unmistakable too, having the Wei character for ghost and Ying for infant - Clearly meant to allude towards one specific person living in the Cloud Recesses.
For a long time, Lan Jingyi has always taken Grandmaster Lan's chiding of him "not upholding Gusu Lan conduct appropriately," with some measure of practiced aplomb. Years of being under Hanguang-Jun's careful tutelage has taught him that there is more to being righteous and moral than mere writings on the wall, and Jingyi has learned to shrug off the more arbitrary reprimands of his home Sect.
But as he stands before the Discipline wall, he doesn't think he wants to do that this time. To simply shrug it off and let it go. And from the carefully concealed frowns on his fellow disciples' faces, he suspects that he might not be alone in his sentiment.

Summary
"Lan Zhan," Wei Ying says carefully, "do you truly not know you have been speaking?"
Lan Wangji claps a hand to his mouth and, to his horror, feels his mouth opening to answer despite having no intention to do so. Clamping it shut again takes a great effort.
Or: The one where Lan Wangji can't stop talking, and a mild amount of chaos ensues.

Summary
Nie Huaisang knows that things in this world are rarely story-shaped. That they're more akin to ink spilled on parchment - Messy and unpredictable and rather tragic. But out of all the threads he's woven throughout damn near a decade, he had not expected the most straightforward of his ploys to go this awry.
He had not expected Wei-Xiong to end up here in Qinghe, half-drunk and too thin with no Lan Wangji in sight. Because it turns out that on his way to becoming the Chief Cultivator, the great Hanguang-Jun had left Wei-Xiong on the side of the road to walk alone in a world that most probably still wants him dead.
What else could Huaisang have done other than bring Wei-Xiong home with him?

Summary
“I’ll help,” Lan Wangji says.
“Hey, Lan Zhan...” Wei Wuxian unfolds his leg and gives his foot a playful kick. “I told you to think about it! This means I’d be here for a long time, taking up your time, your space, your peace. And I can’t pay you! I have nothing of worth to give. It isn’t as simple as-”
“I’ll do it,” he says again, more forcefully this time. “You don’t have to give me anything.”
Wei Wuxian looks away, hiding a small smile. Doesn’t he know Lan Wangji would do anything for him, by now? Doesn’t he understand that he holds Lan Wangji’s life in his hands?
-
Post-CQL Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses to ask for Lan Wangji's help with his new golden core.
Together, they learn how to communicate, how to ask for things, and how to touch each other.Their relationship develops in between quiet dinners in the Jingshi, meditation sessions, core training and a lot of Lan Juniors speculation on whether or not they're actually together yet.

Summary
The Chief Cultivator's Herald. Wei Wuxian is not quite sure when they started calling him that, but as he traipses through beleaguered towns and villages, as he finally starts to build the world that he and Lan Zhan have always vowed to build, he finds that he doesn't mind it so much.
He doesn't mind being anything at all, as long as he is Lan Zhan's.
Wei Wuxian goes where the chaos is in Lan Wangji's stead, and finds a home in the process.
