Summary
At home, Lan Wangji steels himself before taking off his shirt to investigate the problem on his arm. He isn’t sure which will be worse— to peel away his sleeve and find something horrific, or find nothing at all out of the ordinary.
Still, the only way to know is to take action, so he shoves his anxious uncertainty down into his golden core to burn away into nothing and unbuttons his shirt. Out come the cuff links, set gently back into their case. Finally, he tugs his arms out of their sleeves and, not yet looking at his arm, puts the shirt into its appropriate color-sorted laundry bin.
At last, he lets his gaze move to the back of his left forearm. His breath catches in his throat. The fingers of his right hand move, shaking just slightly, to skim at the half inch spot about halfway between his elbow and wrist.
Hard to the touch, there is a patch of cool white stone on his skin. More accurately, perhaps, there is a patch of his skin that has transmutated into, if he had to hazard a guess, white jade.
OR
In which Lan Wangji is slowly turning into jade and turns to local curse-breaking expert Wei Wuxian for help.

Summary
It’s a testament to how badly finals week is fucking Wei Ying up that he doesn’t even blink when the fire alarm goes off in the international student dorms.

Summary
Wei Wuxian gets his idea from The Mistletoe Virgin.
He doesn’t mean to rearrange his life to fit the plot of an Emma Watson and Ryan Reynolds starred trillion dollar Christmas blockbuster. It just happens.
(Or: Wei Wuxian convinces Lan Zhan to be his pretend boyfriend in order to prove what a great real boyfriend he would make. His fake relationship is fooling no one but himself.)

Summary
Wei Ying pouted. “How about this, if you end up getting taller than me, I’ll call you gege instead."
“Mark your words,” Lan Wangji answered.
(Or: Lan Wangji fell in love with a rogue cultivator who trespassed and drank on the wall of Cloud Recesses but in a desperate bid to win the Sunshot Campaign, the war council agreed to have him betrothed to the Second Prince of the Upper Realm.) -

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
That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.

Summary
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian make out in a room full of Sect Leaders, Jiang Cheng tearfully declares his love for his estranged brother, Sect Leaders Yao and Ouyang beg for the Yiling Patriarch’s forgiveness, and Lan Qiren openly welcomes a new nephew-in-law into his family.
None of them want to be doing any of this. Thanks to the Juniors, they don’t exactly have a choice.
(Or, wherein the Juniors accidentally write a cursed fanfiction, and everyone has to reenact their parts in it, or potentially cease to exist).

Summary
"But if Lan Wangji thinks that Wei Wuxian is beneath him, or if Lan Wangji's principles and integrity are challenged beyond what he can bear... if Wei Wuxian is left alone... he doesn't know what he'll do. Sometimes, he thinks he can only bear the world's wrath because he has Lan Wangji by his side. Then he remembers that he basically dragged Lan Wangji kicking and screaming (or rather, glaring and huffing) into this strange friendship and his own beliefs crumple."
OR
six times the media has talked about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's rivalry and one time they talk to the media about it.

Summary
In the aftermath of everything, the scars of thirty-three lashes heavy on his back, Lan Wangji walks.
He walks through a land ravaged by war, by hunger, by death and sheer neglect, walks through a land that the Cultivation world all but forgets in their own haste to rebuild. He upholds justice, protects the weak. Lives with his regrets.
And then, in a small village South of Qishan, he finds Wei Ying - Alive, smiling, and asking Lan Wangji for his name.
