Summary
“Then, I believe I’ll take you up on your offer,” he agrees. “As for today, what did you have planned?”
Jin Guangyao smiles and inclines his head slightly towards Jin Ling, feeling oddly mirthful. “I am at the mercy of the Young Master’s whims.”
(A day of babysitting his nephew alongside Lan Xichen forces Jin Guangyao to face what he truly wants, and the idea that maybe he can actually have it.)

five tales (of mouse & man) by deadbeatrefrain

Summary
You tell A-Ling that Xiao Hua will be here waiting when he returns to Jinlintai, mentally kicking yourself as soon as the words leave your mouth.
Here I am promising A-Ling this damned mouse will be here when he comes back, but what are the chances it will survive? And even if it does, I am not in the market for a pet rodent. Heaven, Jiang Cheng is right. I truly am too soft on the boy.
//
Jin Guangyao finds himself caring for an injured harvest mouse his nephew's pup comes across, and no one is more surprised than he is when he begins to grow undeniably attached to her; the tiny thing even comes to his aid, more than once.
Or: the author uses a pint-sized, unsuspecting rodent as a gateway to examining both A-Yao himself and some of his most important relationships, recently deceased son included.

Summary
Jin Guangyao, dressed in threaded gold and soft silks, takes a step forward. Jin Ling can’t breathe.
“Shushu,” he croaks out. His uncle bends and taps at one of the records on the page.
“Here,” he says, and hearing his voice for the first time in a year bowls Jin Ling over so hard he has to sit down. Jin Guangyao smiles at him—Jin Ling makes himself stare at his face, a little pale and drawn in a way he hadn’t seen in life, circles under his eyes. “It’s not in the silk trade, it’s about cotton. Your agriculture minister liked to try and sweep what he could from the top—I presume now he feels comfortable reaching for the bottom as well.”
That makes sense, Jin Ling thinks. Then: what the fuck, what the fuck, w—
He wakes up with his face stuck to paper. Fairy yips at him from her spot on his bed.
“Jiujiu was right, you are too spoiled,” he grumbles at her, and goes to shut the book. His head feels all fuzzy—he’s always unsettled when he dreams about Jin Guangyao, but this one was almost nice. Jin Ling thumbs over the corner of the page. Cotton. “Fuck,” he murmurs, and sits down again, reaching for his inkstone and paper.

Summary
Jin Ling gets a cold. His doctors scold him harshly, telling him not to underestimate the quiet danger of his body's limits.
Wrapped around too many blankets, and his uncle sitting by his bedside, Jin Ling stares at the chair in the corner.
A lazy figure, legs stretched out to point at the door sits in it.
It doesn't leave until Jin Ling is asleep.

Summary
"Oh, dear." Lan Huan was vaguely aware that he was repeating himself, but stronger words seemed inadequate. "This is terribly awkward, but—I'm afraid you have the advantage of me."
The man whom surely Lan Huan had not gotten drunk and married at a Wen event in Las Vegas hid his face in his hands and laughed hysterically.

Summary
Mèng Yáo blew out a breath. His infinite patience always deserted him in the face of that man. “Mingjue, I know you think you’re infallible, but even you are susceptible to road fatigue. And if you won’t believe that, consider all the mere mortals who will be on the road with you, just waiting to crash into your blind spot.”
“I’m not the one who thinks he’s infallible,” Niè Míngjué grumbled. “Spending four days in a car with you is not going to lessen the chances of a roadside fatality, Mèng Yáo.”
“Do you think I don’t feel the same? By all means, please tell me you were only planning to go alone because you were being arrogant and not because everyone you know is unavailable for a road trip Christmas week.” Niè Míngjué was silent. “That’s what I thought.”

Summary
Meng Yao's sister-in-law is following the Jiang tradition of being evil. Why else would she try to set him up with a married man?
“I’m pretty sure my sister-in-law is trying to ruin my life.”
Lan Huan’s tone is one of genuine curiosity when he asks, “Why would she do that?”
“I don’t know yet,” Meng Yao untangles himself from the barre and crosses his arms across his chest, looking up (and up, and up, curse Jiang Yanli for her knowledge of his tastes) at Lan Huan’s very handsome jawline. “But I need you to make less vigorous eye-contact until you bring me a notarized waiver saying your spouse doesn’t care about you hitting on me.”

Summary
Mingjue needs to be careful. He will not die in this fucking tomb under the earth. It is not his time, not yet.
And yet...
If.
Guangyao said if they get out alive, don’t tell Xichen.
He doesn’t believe they’ll make it. Guangyao is legitimately concerned that they might be trapped and die before they can escape. Probably, that’s why he’s allowed so much emotion to slip through his usual mask in the last few hours: if they die, who’s to find out that anything besides banal pleasantry exists inside his vicious trap of a mind?
Well, Mingjue knows. He’s always known. And by gods, they are going to make it out of this, even if it’s just to increase that chances of him one day getting the opportunity to punch Jin Guangshan in his stupid, smug, smarmy face. Nothing as pathetic as certain death is going to get in the way of him getting that satisfaction.

Summary
Golden hour creeps up the walls. Nie Mingjue drowses in and out of a whispered argument about who had stolen what item of whose clothes when (Jin Guangyao, a Mitski concert t-shirt, two days ago, although it is debatable whether the shirt was Xichen’s or Mingjue’s to begin with, hence the argument) and only comes to when someone calls her name.
(Or: On home, and the inherent eroticism of sharing spaces with the people you love.)
