Summary
"You’re making everyone nervous,” Bobby says, not unkindly.
“Nervous? I’m keeping them safe,” Eddie counters, not quite sure what to do with the flickers of anger bubbling up at this conversation. “We can’t control lightning strikes or bridge collapses, but we sure as hell can be on our toes about our equipment.”
In which Eddie becomes a little obsessed with equipment maintenance and has a crisis of sexuality, and the two things are more related than he thought.

Summary
“Why?” Jiang Cheng whispers.
It’s the same question Lan Wangji keeps asking. Why does Wei Wuxian throw himself against this rocky cliffside every time, let himself be battered against jagged, unmoving stone by wave after wave of unrelenting resentment, anger, betrayal, and hostility?
He has a new answer, now. One for Lan Wangji, but first for Jiang Cheng.
“You’re the only one left,” he whispers.

Summary
(Despite the tags, this fic's genre is not really primarily horror. If you're on the fence because horror isn't really your thing, give it a shot!)
"But when it is said that technology hates Lan Wangji, what is meant is technology sometimes ceases to work around him, often in dramatic fashion.
This is a problem on an Antarctic research base where not only the research is facilitated by all sorts of impressive technological feats, but also the survival of the people inhabiting that base."
Or, in which two resident scientist-mages in an Antarctic research base make their own problems, then try to solve them, but must first survive them.

Summary
Jiang Cheng collapsed onto his couch at 3:00 in the morning, arm slung over his eyes, ignoring the sword still digging into his hip underneath him. Honestly, it was a miracle he’d bothered to kick his shoes off at the door to his apartment when he’d finally staggered through the door just a few moments ago, exhausted as he was. He’d slept with Sandu sticking into more painful places, and he just couldn’t bring himself to care.
But before he could fall asleep despite the discomfort of his sword in his side, he heard a new sound. An unusual sound, despite it being a relatively normal one.
The sound of a neighbor. When he’d left the apartment that morning (yesterday morning? whatever), he hadn’t had a neighbor.
-----
OR, Jiang Cheng has more in common with his new neighbor Lan Huan than he thought.

Summary
At home, Lan Wangji steels himself before taking off his shirt to investigate the problem on his arm. He isn’t sure which will be worse— to peel away his sleeve and find something horrific, or find nothing at all out of the ordinary.
Still, the only way to know is to take action, so he shoves his anxious uncertainty down into his golden core to burn away into nothing and unbuttons his shirt. Out come the cuff links, set gently back into their case. Finally, he tugs his arms out of their sleeves and, not yet looking at his arm, puts the shirt into its appropriate color-sorted laundry bin.
At last, he lets his gaze move to the back of his left forearm. His breath catches in his throat. The fingers of his right hand move, shaking just slightly, to skim at the half inch spot about halfway between his elbow and wrist.
Hard to the touch, there is a patch of cool white stone on his skin. More accurately, perhaps, there is a patch of his skin that has transmutated into, if he had to hazard a guess, white jade.
OR
In which Lan Wangji is slowly turning into jade and turns to local curse-breaking expert Wei Wuxian for help.

Summary
"Home," she says eventually, pointing out at the sea.
"Can you swim?"
She shakes her head, stops. Thinks about it. Shakes her head again. "N-n-not home."
"Not your home?" Lan Zhan thinks about it. "Your home is the sea, but not this part of it?"
-
Lan Zhan is one of few practising cultivators left. She spends her days at sea, on her boat putting restless souls at ease. She did not realise that she, too, is a restless soul.- Language:

Summary
It’s Baidu that ultimately convinces Lan Wangji that Wei Wuxian is not, in fact, a librarian. The librarians he has encountered in the course of his studies have had varying opinions on search engines, but they have all known what a search engine is. Wei Wuxian’s enthusiasm does little to hide that his practical experience seems somewhat dated.
When he thinks on it–and Lan Wangji finds his thoughts turning toward Wei Wuxian more often than not–Lan Wangji is not sure what Wei Wuxian is. He is always in the library when Lan Wangji visits. It’s quite possible that he lives there, but that is not a claim toward normalcy either.

Summary
So there was this jar, and it had so much peanut butter still in it, and when his fox nose scented it and didn’t catch any poison or spoilage, what was he supposed to do? Not avail himself of this gift? No. He shoved his delicate little snout right in there and got to licking, but, you know… Elegantly. Definitely not snarfing and making horrible little fox sounds and rolling around on the ground while he went ham on the jar. Sure, he had to work a little bit to get at the last of it, but anything good is worth working for, right? So finally, triumphant, no longer starving, and maybe a little thirsty now from eating half a cup of peanut butter in about two minutes, he’d tried to remove his head from the jar.
Operative word tried.
Or: Wei Ying gets stuck. Lan Zhan helps.
