Summary
"Hey." Lan Wangji blinked, expressionless. "Are you hungry? I was about to start dinner."
What a perfectly normal way to open a perfectly normal conversation. Too bad Wei Wuxian was about to shit all over it.
"Does anyone else know?" he blurted, instead of a simple Yes. "That you're a camboy, I mean." After that, the rest just came tumbling out. "It's gotta be a closely guarded secret, right? I gotta be the first person you've ever told. Except maybe your brother—oh, Lan Zhan, does your fucking brother know what you do for a hobby?"
"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji said with the patience and silent exasperation of a thousand moons, "everyone knows."

Summary
"Who do you think even wrote that book?"
Lan Wangji glanced up from where he'd been wiping down the small table in the inn room with a cloth. His eyes were steady, so placid. "I don't know," he said after a second, "but I have thought about it."
"So you think you may know, you're just not certain that you do?" Wei Wuxian shifted his elbows to his knees, wrists curled under his chin. He was the best at this—picking all the littlest parts of Lan Wangji apart and putting them back together in shining silver clarity. It was also one of his favorite things to do.
Lan Wangji nodded. "And you?"
"Hmm? What do I think?" Wei Wuxian leaned further forward, elbows digging into his knees. "I'm not quite as certain as you sound, but I think I may have an idea, at least… I wonder if we're thinking the same thing."

Summary
He studied the flower for a short second. It was very pretty—beautiful, even. A pale, calming blue orchid, with a tender green stem. It looked fragile between his long fingers.
“You don’t like it, do you?” Wei Ying said. More like a pout, the way his big, dark eyes went round, and his mouth shaped around his words, chin tipped low. Again—grown ass man, in jeans, unspeakably cute—how?
Lan Zhan, feeling cold all over, spoke one word at a time. “What is it for?”
Wei Ying seemed to sparkle at that, a skip to his step. “Don’t you know, Lan Zhan? It’s the first today. Namesake day. Made me think of you, so I got you that. What’s more perfect, right—a blue orchid? Anyway, why don’t we go grab dinner together? Drinks on me,” he said, and winked.

Summary
He blinked up from where he’d been kissing to glimpse Lan Wangji’s face, and there was resistance there—from shame or some other well-tended negative emotion that Lan Wangji loved to carry around like a chore on Wei Wuxian’s behalf.
He bounced a little in Lan Wangji’s lap. “What is it? You won’t?”
Lan Wangji searched Wei Wuxian’s face, only speaking after a long moment, his thumbs drawing warm circles into place at his waist. “You said yourself—it is a lonely song. I don’t want to upset you.”

Summary
As for Lan Wangji, no one had the right to move with as much speed and grace as he did just then, tugging his hand from underneath Wei Wuxian's just long enough to grab a book from the shelf and return as though he'd never left. It was the book Wei Wuxian had been catching in glimpses ever since Lan Wangji had brought it up to their room at the inn the night they received the summon to return to Cloud Recesses. The book Lan Wangji had been reading every time Wei Wuxian found him with an idle few minutes in an otherwise busy day. The book he had tried to find just earlier today before traipsing off to the Cold Pond Cave.
He'd been right to be suspicious of it, then, the way Lan Wangji flipped open to a specific page on the first try, as though by memory—or magic.
"It is not too late," Lan Wangji said and pressed the book toward him.

Summary
In that moment, nothing else really seemed to matter anymore. They’d been through so much - and they still had a ton to go through in the very near future - but with the searing lights overhead blanking out everything else except for this moment, Tuesday honestly didn’t care about anything except the way she felt right now.

Warm and blue, Armin’s eyes flickered open when he realized his hand still stayed twisted around Eren’s sleeve.
No strain, no pull, just there. At rest.
Eren was still.
