    Summary

    It isn't until Wei Ying's hand, shy and tentative, brushes over the tent straining Lan Zhan's pants that Lan Zhan reminds himself of the sin he is committing. He tears his mouth away, chest heaving. "Wei Ying."

    Wei Ying giggles and tries to reclaim Lan Zhan's lips. "That's me."

    Lan Zhan rises to his full height so that, even on tiptoes, Wei Ying cannot reach his mouth. "This is wrong."

    "I'm not gonna tell anyone," Wei Ying says with a pout. Unable to reach Lan Zhan's lips, he settles instead for kissing along Lan Zhan's throat. His inexperience shows in the timid way his lips move. "Please, Lan-laoshi. I'm having such a bad day, and you can make it so much better. I've seen the way you look at me, so don't deny that you want me."

    Lan Zhan can't deny it, so he doesn't even try. "I could lose my job. Wei Ying, this could ruin my life."

    Wei Ying's voice drops to a hushed whisper. "That just means we have to be extra careful. I won't tell a soul. Don't you trust me Lan-laoshi?"

    Summary

    In music, counterpoint is the art of weaving two independent melodies into harmony. Different, but inseparable.

    Wei Wuxian has spent years trying to forget he was ever meant for more than dive bars and retail hell. But then a viral video, a pristine job offer, and a man with perfect pitch change everything.

    Between live gigs and pedagogy exams, expectations and a few cans of beer, two people learn what harmony really means: finding someone who hears your chaos, and still chooses to call it music.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian gets fired, gets hired, and accidentally falls in love with the most competent man alive. Not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    "-an zhan, you know, once upon a time, mankind had religion and believed in something like god....they believed that which could not be solved by human strength, was the Will of the Lord. They also believed that the entire universe revolved around the Earth."

    "Mn..I have heard of them."

    "Yes, yes! From the moment humanity left the universe, we all have seemingly forgotten about god's presence. It is said that humans thought that whatever was unreachable, places one can't reach, that connected with the sky was... where the 'gods' lived."

    "Ridiculous"
    While the Anakt Garden is marketed as a music-specialised kinder garden or a peaceful boarding school, it is actually a high-security training facility designed to grow humans as pets for the Sunshot competition.

    And what becomes of those raised beneath a false heaven, taught to sing for gods who no longer answer?

    I was bored, so I thought, and I made my own personal hell xd
    WHAT IF MDZS WAS IN ALNST?
    Or more like alnst was in mdzs, but u get the gist

    Summary

    What if, before Wen Chao found Wei Wuxian in Yiling, Lan Wangji went looking for him?

    What if...

    "Tell me who did this to you."
    "Aiya, Lan Zhan, I really don't know what you're -- ah!"
    Lan Zhan tugged hard on the blue line that bound them together, and Wei Wuxian all but flew across the room, crashing into the bed with a pained groan and sinking to his knees on the floor. He supposed, slightly hysterically, that this must be something like what Jiang Cheng had felt when he had hit Wei Wuxian with all the force of a biting insect the day after his rescue.
    "You have no spiritual energy."
    "Haha, Lan Zhan, that's funny, because actually it's just that I --"
    "You have no golden core."

    This diverges from MDZS canon rather than CQL (so no yin iron, etc)

    Title from Sunlight by Hozier (which is SUCH a wangxian song it actually causes me pain)

    This is a FULLY COMPLETED WORK!! Updates will be every Tuesday and Friday :D

    Summary

    Since he was a child, since Lan Wangji had first become aware of his own alienating effect on others, he has long resigned himself to a loveless marriage. Perhaps even a companionate one, so long as his partner was agreeable and unbothersome and let him have his own space.

    He could not have even begun to predict Wei Wuxian.

    (A canonverse arranged marriage fic.)
