    Summary

    It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.

    “Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”

    “It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian locks his phone and puts it down, blinks at his ceiling, and picks it up again. The pictures are still there.

    His first thought is that Lan Zhan meant them for someone else. That he just woke up at—he checks the timestamp—6:30 am on a Sunday and decided to go absolute full nuclear seduction option on some poor boy he met on Grindr, who would now be missing out on the best thing to ever happen to him because Wei Wuxian had a bad habit of distracting—of—oh.

    Pieces of last night start to resurface and paste themselves together in his head. He winces.

    Summary

    “Do you know how scenes normally work? Do you –” there’s a sharp intake of breath, as though something has occurred to Lan Zhan too late. Wei Ying looks up and sees Lan Zhan absolutely stricken. “Do you know what BDSM is?”

    It seems like a moment where a response is required.

    Wei Ying squares his shoulders a touch and ventures, “Uh, chains and whips? That excite people?”

     

    Wei Ying craves rough sex and simply blames any (obviously unrelated) unpleasant feelings the next morning on a hangover. Lan Zhan is two things: appalled, and willing to teach him about the art of aftercare.

    Summary

    “He smiles too much,” Lan Wangji says, frowning at the pixelated headshot of the instructor. Flippancy is not necessarily forbidden, but it is strongly discouraged, especially when one is a thousand feet above ground instructing the light of someone else’s life.

     

    Lan Sizhui is going for his Sword Flight Licence. Lan Wangji is panicked.
