    Summary

    Slightly AU take of the story with aged up characters. The first story navigates Uenoyama and Mafuyu's new relationship as well as Given's chance of signing onto a label. The story is full of cameos from all your favorite (and not favorite) characters.

    The stories after are mostly the guys (and friends) experiencing new music together. And me being able to geek out about music <3

    Summary

    His phone buzzes again, and Lan Zhan picks it up this time. To his surprise, it's a message from the Blood Bank.

    The Blood Bank was a way for him to make money faster, beyond his usual teaching job, to help his mother. He tried not to think too much about the fact that there were random faceless vampires feasting on his blood.

    Frowning to himself, Lan Zhan clicks the message.

    "You have been selected as a special provider for a very prestigious client! The Yiling Laozu has chosen you to be a part of his regular collaborators!"

    Lan Zhan raises an eyebrow when he sees the name.

    Very few vampires are known amongst humans, because they keep well hidden, but Yiling Laozu is one of the most well-known ones.

    -

    Lan Zhan's blood gets the attention of a vampire who is well known to the entire world for his creations: Yiling Laozu. At the same time, a beautiful man he meets on a rooftop tries flirting with him, his aura strangely alluring.

    Summary

    "It’s going to be okay,” he murmurs in A-Yuan’s ear. Balanced on Wei Wuxian’s hip, A-Yuan watches his home disappear behind them, and starts to cry. Wei Wuxian looks again — away from the lands he knows, a world with no place for him. “We’ll take care of each other, won’t we?”

    After the Wen remnants turn themselves in, Wei Wuxian disappears with the last living member of the Wen Clan. Lan Wangji follows.

    Summary

    After a decade of living abroad, Lan Zhan returns to China. But Lan Zhan is out of his depth in a land that was once his home. After all, there's no step-by-step guide for when your mother dies.

    As he sorts through her affairs and grapples with his grief, he meets Wei Ying, his mother's friend and the artist she'd commissioned to illustrate a book of nursery rhymes. And as he and Wei Ying strike a partnership of their own, Lan Zhan wonders if he ever knew his mother at all.

    Summary

    “What if we’re soulmates, Lan Zhan?” his voice is still hoarse from sleep. “What if it’s you and me?”
    “It’s always you and me.” Lan Zhan says simply. “Things wouldn’t change.”
    Wei Ying tries not to scream at how good those words feel. But Lan Zhan means something else, he means friendship, and that’s not what Wei Ying is asking. Because of course it would be a big change. Being soulmates would change everything.
    He sighs, forcing himself not to curl into his best friend’s warm body, and tries again.
    “I’m serious. What if I’m your soulmate? Would you… What would you do?”
    His heart beats like a hummingbird’s wing inside his chest, the anticipation unbearable as Lan Zhan licks his lips and prepares for answering.
    “If you’re my soulmate,” Lan Zhan pauses, thinking of his words carefully. “I will love you until the end of my days.”

    --

    Soulmate AU where, once you're an adult, you start sharing your senses with your soulmate. It starts with only one sense, such as sight or hearing, but eventually, as you get closer together, you start sharing everything.

    Summary

    It was luck that Lan Wangji heard of the plan to confront Wei Wuxian in the Qiongqi Path. It was instinct that had made him accompany Jin Zixuan to suppress any violence from the encounter. It was years of musical cultivation that had turned his ear to a second flute. A second flute intent on changing the course of all their lives.

    With the flute's owner in the custody of both Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan, Wei Wuxian is called to give an account of the incident in Jinlintai, in front of the friends and family he had been hoping to reconcile with. As truths are revealed, Wei Wuxian is confined to the Burial Mounds under the protection of the Lan Clan of Gusu with Lan Wangji acting as personal guard to him and the Wens.

    Leading a simpler life, friendships are tested and strengthened, truths are spoken and feelings revealed, teaching all touched by the events that family is strongest when you build it together.
