Summary
The best things that ever happened to Lan Qiren were brought to him in the middle of the night by women with perms. First, his nephews, stricken with grief at the death of their parents, then Wei Ying, brought by a harried babysitter when his parents disappeared.
or
There’s no time or space for grief or anything. He takes the children to buy black suits, he leaves them behind in the apartment, twelve-year-old A-Huan assuring him he’s old enough to be left alone with his brother, to go to their house and oversee it being packed up, the furniture sold, the personal effects of his brother and his wife put in storage.
There’s no room for decisions or education. Only him sitting at his table with two children, eating in silence, only hearing A-Huan whispering to his brother in the middle of the night, only the three of them all tangled up together with grief and confusion and pain.
And the certainty that he isn’t… that he won’t be a good parent.

Summary
“I won’t have you going all the way to California by yourself,” Yanli says in her most eldest-sibling tone of voice. “I won’t have it, A-Ying.”
“I am a grown-up,” Wei Ying points out gently, with all the wisdom of his twenty-four years. “I pay bills and have a job I hate and everything. And I won’t be by myself, I’ll have A-Qing and A-Ning.”
“And me, obviously,” Jiang Cheng grumbles. Wei Ying whips around to stare at him.
“Oh,” Yanli says, a blanket of relief rolling across her face. “Oh, of course.”
“You can’t,” Wei Ying hisses at him, looking more panicked now than he has all night. “Your mother—”
“Okay, first of all, don’t tell me what I can and can’t do,” Jiang Cheng bites back, prickly with worry for the Wens and worry for his idiot brother. “Secondly, you, going by yourself, is not an option. It’s off the table. It was never on the table. Stupid,” he adds, on principle.
Wei Ying’s friends are at rock-bottom, and he puts his life on hold to help them put theirs back together. To absolutely no one’s surprise except Wei Ying’s, his family goes with him.

Summary
“I am Groot.”
“♩♫♪♩♩♫♪♬♩!” Rocky sings.
“I am Groot?”
“♩♫♩♩♬.”
“I am Groot!”
“♫♩♫♪♩♬♫♩!”
Grace doesn’t understand a single word of what Rocky is saying. Or Groot, for that matter. “What is happening right now?!”
Two instances of cosmic anomalies bring two different spaceships to the same universe. When both crews become stranded on a hostile planet, searching for a way home, they find they’ll have to work together to survive.
OR
Grace is seriously out of his depth here, but he does enjoy studying all the new alien life. Rocket is teaching Rocky, his new engineer buddy, all kinds of fun things. Quill and Mantis are glad to be back with their family (even if they are stuck on a deadly planet that's trying to kill them…). Drax hates the colour pink, Groot hates the acid rain, and Nebula just wants to keep all these idiots alive.Bookmarked by AStoryToBeTold

Summary
A fluffy, no-drama universe, where WWX and LWJ are happily in love, kind of co-parent A-Yuan, and take care of a whole bunch of bunnies. There's no grand plot to that, they're all just chilling and have little everyday adventures.
