Summary
Buffy is ashamed of him, Spike knows. But when no one else is around, she touches him like she could love him.

Summary
SOL 1: Today we landed on Mars. Despite literal years of training, and then months in space onboard Hermes, it’s still only just sinking in that I am standing on a whole other planet.
[We've read Watney's logs of his long isolation on Mars, but what about those first five sols before the accident?]

She brushed her hands across the console, then leaned into it and sighed. Home, finally, she thought, then snapped her hands back as if the TARDIS had burned her.
“For now,” she reminded herself firmly, out loud. “Home, for now.”

Summary
Lan Wangji sighed. Staying in bed wrapped up in each other would be a much more pleasant plan for their day, but it wasn't an option. He spun around in his husband’s arms.
Lan Wangji found his husband with his long, black hair askew and his black silk sleeping robe unraveled enough to show the scars criss-crossing his chest. Normally, his gaze would still be hazed over from sleep. But this morning, his deep brown eyes were already piercing and alert.
Lan Wangji knew what that meant. His husband didn't sleep. He wasn't surprised. It was going to be a very hard day for Wen Xu.
—
Many years after the Wens won the war, Lan Wangji and his husband, Chief Cultivator Wen Xu, are preparing to reveal the secrets of their past to their son on his twentieth birthday. But before they can tell Wen Sizhui the truth, he goes missing during a night hunt and turns up in Yiling with a group of rebels. To keep years of hard work and diplomacy from unraveling, Lan Wangji must face a ghost from his past and convince his devastated son to come home.
AKA, the dramatic Wen Xu redemption AU you never knew you needed.
