    Summary

    Wei Ying scratches his nose thoughtfully. “I said, of course you are all my best friends and I love you, but Lan Zhan is my best best friend, you see? It’s different. He is my uberfriend. My soulmate!”

    Lan Wangji takes a deep breath and lets it out. It should be embarrassing, maybe, that this is enough to stoke a little warm fire inside his chest. This is enough; being Wei Ying’s uberfriend, whatever that means, is enough to sustain him. As long as he is Wei Ying’s something.

    Summary

    “I think…” Xie Lian says slowly, not taking his eyes off the bag. “I think I knew this person. Who this soul used to be.”

    He can hear Hua Cheng suck in a breath. “Gege, maybe it’s better if you don’t—“

    But Xie Lian ignores him, and reaches out with one trembling hand to touch the bag. A second passes, and then another, and Xie Lian almost lets out a breath in relief, before he feels something in the bag reaching back.

    “A-Ying?”

    -

    Once upon a time, Xie Lian took in an orphan, and gave him a home and a family. Twenty years and a godhood later, he finds he still has more in him to give.

    Really beautiful and beautifully written crossover; doesn't disrupt either canon significally.

    Summary

    When his father said that someone ought to get rid of Nie Mingjue, that he was in their way, that he would never stop, Jin Guangyao’s first thought was about the Song of Clarity that Lan Xichen was teaching him – and the Song of Turmoil, that he’d taught himself. He’d long ago noticed the similarities in the tune between them; it wasn’t enough to fool anyone skilled in music, of course, but Nie Mingjue rather infamously wasn’t.

    His second thought was: let’s wait and see.

    (And then Nie Huaisang got involved...)

    Summary

    Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are finally wed after years of betrothal arranged by their clans. When Wei Wuxian moves to the Cloud Recesses to begin his new life as Lan Wangji's husband, however, he is dismayed to learn that their marriage is nothing more than a formality and the Lan Principles forbid non-procreative sex. In trying to help his husband adjust to their new life together, Lan Wangji finds his devotion to his own moral code slowly unraveling.

    ---

    “It is not permitted,” he repeated. As a test, he cautiously added, “Wei Ying.”
    “Hmm.” Wei Wuxian—Wei Ying—looked momentarily caught between irritation and satisfaction, but soon brightened, clearly giving in to the latter. “Alright.” He continued smiling even as he began to shrug out of his robes.
    “What are you doing?” Lan Wangji’s voice had taken on a much higher pitch than usual, and he had to stop himself from rushing forward to physically apprehend his husband.
    Wei Ying looked equally startled, frozen with just one arm out of the sleeve. “Lan Zhan,” he repeated, slowly, as if speaking to a child. “It’s our
    wedding night.”
