    Summary

    "Betrothed," Wei Ying says indignantly.

    Lan Wangji can't stop his gaze from darting up to him. Wei Ying understands. Wei Ying is looking at him, wide-eyed and upset on his behalf.

    "And you don't even like her," Wei Ying says.

    "I don't even know her," Lan Wangji says quietly.

    "But even if you did—" Wei Ying starts.

    "I wouldn't want this," Lan Wangji finishes.

    Summary

    It's Lan Zhan, standing tall, his hand gripping his sword. Has his hairpiece gotten even more elaborate? Or has Wei Wuxian just forgotten how stately it is? He's at the forefront of the group of Lan cultivators and if the pulsing darkness pushes Wei Wuxian's eyes away, then Lan Zhan draws them like there's nothing else worthy of looking at.

    Wei Wuxian shakes his head at himself. He's been on the road too long. He's thinking in lines of poetry.

    Summary

    "None of Olruggio's lessons had prepared him for the horrors of having to endure multiple uncomfortable conversations about his relationship to Qifrey. He wasn’t sure the library had any books on what to do when you semi-romantically swapped tassels with your best friend anyway."

    In which everyone teased Olruggio about the tassel exchange.

    Summary

    It started with a simple question: What's the nature of their professors' relationship? To say it snowballed from there would be a gross understatement. The answer is much more complex than the girls were anticipating.

    A.k.a an exploration of witch courtship and tradition through the lens of young witches in the past and present.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian knows that Lan Zhan is the same Lan Zhan as before, but also so, so different. This Lan Zhan is soft for him. This Lan Zhan has a set jaw and a steely look in his eye, ready to fight anyone who gets in Wei Wuxian's way. This Lan Zhan puts up no fronts - it almost hurts to look at him, he's so open.

    Wei Wuxian looks at this Lan Zhan, and he wonders.

    (i.e., Wei Wuxian tries real hard to use his two brain cells to figure out if Lan Zhan likes-him, likes-him or not.)

    //

    Summary

    Shang’s eyes went wide as he followed the arrow’s trajectory to the fifty-foot pole in the center of the camp. A tired but satisfied Ping grinned down at the men from his perch at the top, Strength and Discipline draped casually over his shoulder.

    As he registered the sound of cheers, something warm blossomed in Shang’s chest. He had no idea what to make of it.

    Or, Li Shang is pure of ass, dumb of heart, and very bisexual.

    Summary

    The cigarette burns slow between Crowley’s fingertips. The taste of smoke in his mouth drags memories from his lungs, dusty as ash and cold as. The church opposite is grey with it, too—the build-up of centuries, the soot and stain of humanity blackening its very foundations.

    He would have hated this building, Crowley thinks, looking up at the spire, piercing white and imposing. He’d have liked the pub better.

    “So what’d you come back for? It’s been ages.”
    “I was hungry,” Lan Zhan replies. Wei Ying laughs.
    “You came all the way back here just because you were hungry?”
    “Mh.”

    Years after his mother's death, Lan Zhan, tired of his life in the city, returns to his childhood home.

    “So,” Caitlyn starts, a little rehearsed, like she might be nervous, too. “I have to know. What kind of bet do you have to lose to end up at a community crocheting class on a Tuesday evening?”

     

    Vi slumps in her seat, considering her options. She can come up with a story on the fly, that’s no challenge, but she’s always found lying the least interesting form of conversation. Lifting her straw from her drink and shaking the last stubborn drops off, Vi dumps it on the table and takes a few swigs directly from the cup.

    Now, sitting by the fire in 221B, John was aware of nothing so much as the ultimate irony that something that he’d made as a boy of seventeen, hundreds of miles away, had been hanging on the wall right below him all this time and he’d never known.

    In which John once had a successful hobby that he never told Sherlock about, until one day, there's a crash from Mrs. Hudson's flat..

    Summary

    In a world where feelings show up as colors on people’s skin, it is a fact that John Watson is depressed (pale) beyond recovery, and Sherlock Holmes is incapable of feeling anything (blank) at all.

    That’s the thing about facts, though. They never quite tell the whole story.

    Summary

    He would have recognized that face anywhere in the world, in any crowd, at any hour of the day or night.

    He had seen it in dreams for thirty years, recalled it in his quietest prayers, imagined it in the halls of the Vatican or among the faithful. Thirty years of absence branded into his memory like fire.

    And now it was here.

    Like divine punishment.

    or: Thomas and Vincent reunite 30 years later at the conclave, after an agonizing breakup.
