    Summary

    Lan Xichen shudders, every thread of his blue robes trembling. “We’ve tried everything. Everything, Wei-gongzi. But it has been weeks, and we have achieved nothing. Wangji is – Wangji needs your help.”

    “My help,” Wei Wuxian echoes. “You’re telling me the Second Jade of Lan has been transformed into a half-man, half-fish thing, and you believe I’m your best chance of saving him.”

    ~*~

    Or, Wei Wuxian tries to break a curse, and finds that the answer may, after all, be love.

    Summary

    Wei Ying would never forget the day he first met Wheatgrass Guy. He had been rotating the stock of bananas, cleaning out the over-ripe ones to move to the bargain bin, when it had happened.
    “Excuse me. Where can I find the wheatgrass?”
    “End cap, row four -- ” Wei Ying started to answer. And then he saw him. Standing there in his flowy white tunic and his pale blue linen pants, as if that was a thing that people did. Who did that? Was it legal to do that? Wei Ying thought not. 
    “Thank you,” Wheatgrass Guy had said, his startlingly light eyes boring into him.
    “No problem,” Wei Ying had managed. “Let me know if you need help with bananas.”
    Wei Ying should not be allowed to speak. Who had entrusted him with words?
    “I will let you know if I need any help,” Wheatgrass Guy had said graciously, and Wei Ying thought that this guy was too good, too amazing, too kind, letting it slide like that -- “with bananas.”
    Oh.
    Oh no, that was worse.
    Wheatgrass Guy was kind of a bitch.

    Summary

    The mist pulls together in front of him, swirling together into a tall column. A woman steps out of it. She is tall—taller than Lan Wangji, probably, though it is hard to tell from his seated position. Her skin is unnaturally pink, glowing like coals. Long, black hair swings down her back to her knees as she rushes forward, snatching Lan Wangji’s hand and examining it. “Who bites themself? What are you, a dog with fleas?”
    There are two ebony black ram’s horns curling out of the woman’s head, gleaming as the light of her skin catches on the ridges. She lifts her eyes to Lan Wangji’s after she has finished examining the bite mark, a red so deep that they are almost black.
    So his initial instincts had been correct. Lan Wangji just manages not to sigh.
    “Wei Ying.”

    Summary

    Wei Ying has a lot on his plate right now.

    It’s finals week -- which isn’t so bad. He’s never had to study much to do well in classes. But that just means that things are that much more tense with Jiang Cheng, who, as far as Wei Ying can tell, only takes study breaks long enough to glare at Wei Ying where he sits on the couch playing video games.

    It’s not studies that have Wei Ying stressed out. It’s everything else. It’s the recruitment for the research trial he’s coordinating. It’s jiejie and her impending marriage to His Royal Douchebag Jin Zixuan. It’s the volunteer work at the palliative care facility. It’s Wen Ning’s worsening condition. It’s Wen Qing working herself thin to care for her brother and Wen Yuan. It’s the way Wen Yuan never seems to have enough food.

    So, yeah. There’s enough on Wei Ying’s plate already, meaning it’s not entirely welcome when he comes home and finds a man standing in his bedroom. A man in extravagant white robes, a ribbon tied around his forehead, long hair gathered into a topknot, fist clutching a sword at his side, who asks him, “Where am I?”
