    Summary

    Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.

    A stranger, and the love of his life.

     

    or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.

    OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!

    Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

    Summary

    The reflection staring Wei Wuxian in the mirror was Lan Zhan’s. He’d woken up in Lan Zhan’s room, in Lan Zhan’s clothes, in Lan Zhan’s bed. There was only one conclusion he could come to.

    He was in Lan Zhan’s body.

    Wei Wuxian didn’t know if screaming was necessarily the best action to choose, but it was the only thing he could really think to do.


    Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian never expected to walk a mile in each other’s shoes, but it seemed like fate wasn’t giving them a choice.

    Summary

    This was, perhaps, Lan Zhan’s least favorite part of the game. He cleared his throat. “Never have I ever had a pet.”

    There was a general uproar at that, horror and sympathy that Lan Zhan had had such a deprived childhood, while around the circle everyone took a sip of their drink. But Wei Ying, who would normally be celebrating Lan Zhan’s pathetic talent for making the whole group drink, was watching Jiang Cheng with a small, concerned frown. Far too late, Lan Zhan realized his mistake. Of course pets were a sore subject between them. Of course he should have said something, anything else.

    Jiang Cheng scowled, shooting a stormy look at Lan Zhan and then zeroing in on Wei Ying, eyes narrowing. When the chatter about pets died down, he spoke up, his voice hard and sharp. “Never have I ever been in love with anyone in this room.”

    [A game of Never Have I Ever goes slightly off the rails, and a night of drunken shenanigans ensues.]

    Summary

    “So,” says Jiang Cheng. “You’re in love with Hanguang-jun, and now you think your roommate is hot.”

    “Lan Zhan is objectively good looking,” Wei Wuxian says immediately. He runs through the rest of the accusation in his head and frowns. “And I’m not in love with Hanguang-jun.”

    Jiang Cheng’s eyebrow ticks. “Yeah right,” he says. “Tell me that once you’ve stopped flirting with him every time you’re assigned to the same hit.”

    While Yiling Laozu and Hanguang-jun are rivals as assassins, Wei Wuxian falls in love with his roommate, Lan Wangji.
