    Summary

    Let’s imagine a world where Jiang Fengmian, not exactly a scholar in the usual sense, nevertheless had an inordinate fondness of four-word idioms. He liked the simple, concise elegance of them, of expressing so much with so little.

    Let’s imagine in this world, when Jiang Fengmian took Wei Wuxian home and told him he is no longer 举目无亲 (jǔ mù wú qīn), eyes raised to see no one familiar, Wei Wuxian fell a little in love with the power of four words neatly grouped together as well.

    (Much later, in a dark, damp cave with the sun scorched over his heart and Lan Wangji biting down on his arm harshly enough to leave markings of his teeth behind, this small love for neat groupings of four words will change everything. But he doesn’t know this just yet.)

    Summary

    It was a dark, quiet night. Most of the shops and establishments had already closed. The roads were almost empty, with only stray animals roaming. In a deserted alleyway, two men were facing each other, one calmly pointing a gun at the other's forehead. The other man was shaking in fear, bargaining with the gun-wielder even after knowing his demise was inevitable.

    "L–let me go! Lan Wangji, you cannot kill me like this!" The man said, pretending to be brave.

    "Can't I." The reply was more of a statement than a question.

     

    (Or, Mob boss Wei Wuxian and his right-hand man Lan Wangji being a power couple and killing those who mess with them)

    Summary

    Lan Wangji should refuse. He should. He looks back down at the mask. Beneath it is the soft creamy paper of the invitation. He could present this at the door and slip into the palace and—

    “Go see him, Wangji,” Lan Xichen says quietly, and Lan Wangji feels his resolve crumble beneath him.

    A very loose Cinderella AU, featuring Lan Wangji as Cinderella, Wei Wuxian as Prince Charming, Lan Xichen as fairy godmother, the forehead ribbon as glass slipper, and GusuLan bedtime as midnight.
