    Summary

    “I will design you a talisman,” Wei Wuxian vows with tears in his eyes, “that will allow you to feel drunk. It will be even better, because it will not make you puke, and you will not have a hangover the next day.” He pauses for a second, pensive. “Actually, that sounds like something a lot of people would want. Maybe we could sell them in the Yiling marketplace, so we could afford more potatoes…”

    “It’s fine, Master Wei, I’ve never been a big drinker anyway.”

    Wei Wuxian narrows his eyes at him. “How do you do it, then?”

    Wen Ning frowns. “Do what?”

    “Dull the pain of existence. Make it bearable, when every day you wake up in the same world, with the same life, and the same failures.”

     

    What if Wen Ning had escaped Carp Tower much, much earlier?

    Summary

    Sweet, loyal Wen Ning deserves every good thing in the world, but since Wei Wuxian can't give him that, he can at least make him feel good for a night...

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Summary

    He meant to start this off slow. Ease Alec into the whole idea. Somehow he managed to forget that Alec has never had the faintest clue how to ease into anything.

    Summary

    “You’re both telling me,” Rob says, wide-eyed, “that when you look at Winona Ryder in the shower, you see Jonathan Byers’ mom?”

    “I dunno, I think Joyce could get it,” Eddie offers, and then they’re all laughing. “Though there’s only one of us here who knows. What say you,” and Eddie leans over to ogle Nancy, “like mother like—?”

    Robin gets him in the ribs at the same time Steve steps on his toes. Nancy tucks her hair behind one red-tipped ear, but she’s smiling. In on the joke.

    “So what exactly,” Steve repeats, louder this time, “are we watching, then?”
