    Summary

    Lan Yuan, curtesy name Sizhui, had grown up with stories about his earliest years instead of memories, told by his father, Lan Zhan, curtesy name Wangji.
    He had been born as Wen Yuan to parents his father had never met. Then he, his grandmother, his aunts and uncles as well as Wen Qing and the undead Wen Ning had lived in the Burial Mounds, protected by the Yiling Laozu who was also his baba, Wei Ying, curtesy name Wuxian.

    Then one day....

    “Baba you can’t go. We just found you.”

    What if Lan Zhan told little Lan Yuan who he was? And what if a 16-year-old recognizes his baba who he'd been missing for 13 years. Even the best Lan-Disciple is not made of stone.

    Summary

    "The alignment is broken," Lan Wangji said, his voice a deep, resonant baritone that carried clearly over the silent storm, though he spoke barely louder than a whisper. "The lunar mansions are inverted. This man was not slain by a beast of this earth. Something has torn the veil from the bottom of the sky."
    His gaze shifted slowly toward the dark ridge in the distance, where the ruined, jagged silhouette of an ancient abbey bit into the storm. A faint, almost imperceptible tremor of resentful energy was pulsing from those dark stone ruins, tasting of old grief, graveyard dirt, and the wild, mocking notes of a distant flute.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji spent an entire lifetime loving Wei Wuxian.

    He courted him with quiet devotion, unwavering faith, and endless patience, only to be met with rejection after rejection.

    Not because Wei Wuxian didn't love him.

    But because he believed his life belonged to Yunmeng Jiang.

    Raised to believe he owed the Jiang Sect everything, Wei Wuxian buried every dream that wasn't theirs—including the one that wanted Lan Wangji.

    Until the day Lan Wangji finally stopped chasing.

    "If there is a next life," he whispered, "I hope I won't fall in love with you."

    Then war came.

    Lan Wangji died before Wei Wuxian could say the words he'd buried for years.

    After avenging him, Wei Wuxian followed him into death.

    Instead...

    They were given another life.

    This time, Lan Wangji wants nothing to do with love.

    And Wei Wuxian is determined to earn every smile, every glance, and every heartbeat he threw away the first time.
    After all...
    Someone has to do the chasing this life.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan’s daemon shivers her shape again and again and again. She is a dozen different, vibrantly-colored birds, almost obscene against the austerity of his bedchamber. She flies across the room. She perches on the windowsill, and becomes carrion-eater after carrion-eater. She makes him look at her. She does not let him look away.

    His golden core is new. It fills up his meridians, his lower dantian. She can feel it too.

    That night, for the first time, she flies out of the window as a silvery-black crow. She makes it an arm’s length out into the night before their tether pulls her back.

    Summary

    And then Lan Zhan is before him. Looking as pretty as ever, only somehow even more so now.

    He’s older, of course. More mature. More at ease, somehow. Still upright, but not quite as rigid as he used to be.

    He’s so handsome. If Wei Ying weren’t still hung up on the fact that he has a son, he would be losing his mind a little over how handsome he is.
