    Summary

    Lan Zhan blinked, and pushed his wet hair off his forehead as he slid off his surfboard and stood upright. Wei Ying was standing on the beach, holding a pair of sandals and staring out, his sand-covered bare feet carefully out of reach of the actual water. There was a strange, mournful twist to his mouth that faded when he saw that he wasn’t alone, replaced by a warm smile. “Lan Zhan, is that you?”

    “Mn,” he replied, and walked up to meet him there in the middle of the sand. Privately, he thought, who else would it be?

    Wei Ying laughed. “I thought so, but I wasn’t sure. You looked good out there.”

    Summary

    Lan Wangji attempts to speedrun every conversation about queerness or differentness that has occurred in the household from Sizhui’s perspective. He cannot properly recall any except one: always turning the radio off when a certain, outrageously-out singer comes on.

    “I think I should tell you a story,” says Lan Wangji.

     

    In the early 2000s summer heat, a decidedly straight Lan Zhan meets a boy called Wei Ying. Later, Lan Wangji meets Wei Wuxian.

    Summary

    “It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”

    “I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”

    “I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”

    But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.

    It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.

    “I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.

    Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.

    Summary

    ‘Two truths and a lie?” suggests Nie Huaisang. Then, suddenly sounding a lot less drunk and a lot more mischievous, he says, “Cut-sleeve chicken?”

    Wei Wuxian would have spat out his wine, if he hadn’t thrown it out of the window to hide it.

    Huaisang-xiong— “

    “It’s perfect! Easy, quick, you two should have no problem with it — just get as close as possible to kissing, the first one to back away loses!” Nie Huaisang claps his hands together, looking at Wei Wuxian, who is looking at Lan Wangji, whose ears are steadily turning an (objectively) attractive shade of plum-pink.

    Wei Wuxian only intended to play cut-sleeve chicken with Lan Wangji once, but he won't complain if Lan Wangji wants to keep the game going.
