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
Lan Wangji says, “I am also looking to . . . gain practical experience. It seemed mutually advantageous.”
“Mutually advantageous,” Wei Wuxian echoes. “Wait. Do you mean I’d get to . . . ?”
Lan Wangji stares at him.
“Practice — on you?” Wei Wuxian finishes, his eyes round with disbelief.
—
During a shared summer studying in the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian diligently pursue an informed sexual education. What could possibly be the harm in some mutual learning?

Summary
"Zewu-Jun. You once told me about a house surrounded by gentians, where you visited once a month, and how Lan Zhan still waited there, even when the door no longer opened."
Xichen feels light-headed. He feels shocked, and angry. He has never told anyone such a thing, but Lan Zhan is giving Xichen a look of utter betrayal.
"You told him?" Lan Zhan whispers. "When?"
Wei Wuxian takes Lan Zhan's hand. "About twenty years from now."
Wei Wuxian starts again from the beginning.

Summary
Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.
One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.
He did yelp a little. But very manfully.
“No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”

Summary
Wei Wuxian laughs again. "Lan Zhan. Lan Wangji. Hanguang-jun. What an honor it is, to be graced by your presence today. Have you come to take me back to the Cloud Recesses with you?"
He doesn’t say, please take me back. Doesn’t say, sometimes I wish you’d taken me back with you all those years ago.
But Lan Zhan shakes his head, small and deliberate, the tiniest, most devastating shift in the world. Wei Wuxian exhales audibly.
"Wei Ying. I have come to ask you to take me away with you."
*
Three years ago, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian saved the world. Now the world has moved on and they are left to pick themselves up and start anew. It takes them a while to figure it out. (A post-canon CQL getting together story.)

Summary
“I was just thinking,” Wei Wuxian says, as he drags his brush across Lan Wangji’s formerly immaculate work. “Your Silence spell is unnecessary, not to mention cruel. After all, if you want me to be quiet, there are much more effective methods.”
Lan Wangji knows that he is being set up for another of Wei Wuxian’s pranks, but he can’t help himself. “What methods?”
Wei Wuxian beams in triumph, and Lan Wangji’s heart sinks. “Kissing, of course!”Or at cultivator summer camp, Wei Wuxian offers to give Lan Wangji kissing lessons. Lan Wangji is, as always, an excellent student.

“Have you heard? The esteemed Second Jade of Lan, Hanguang-jun, has defected from the Lan sect! He’s living at the Burial Mounds now apparently.”
“What?! That scourge, the Yiling Patriarch, has managed to corrupt even the most ideal, upstanding cultivator. How truly terrifying!”
Lan Wangji learns to follow his heart over the rules just a little earlier and it changes some things.

Summary
Dying is such an inconsistent concept, when you’ve done it but come back from it. At the same time, it’s unbearably final — Wei Wuxian died, and that meant something. There must be things that water does not give back.
So it goes — he begins with love, hoping to end there.
It doesn’t go as planned.
In which Wei Wuxian builds a life, tears it apart, and learns that what he thought was salted earth is actually just scorched.

Summary
As Wei Wuxian walks a lonely road, he writes frequently to Lan Wangji in Cloud Recesses, unable to receive a reply as he moves from place to place. When fate forces him to remain in place for longer than anticipated, his friend is finally able to reply. With a page and distance between them, words come easier and slowly they come to an understanding of their feelings for each other. When Lan Wangji receives an unexpected letter from Wei Wuxian's hosts though, his hopes of a future for the pair of them is shattered. Refusing to give up, Lan Wangji makes a journey and learns to read between the lines of the story he has been told.

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.

Summary
Through the window, boats drift in a mirror of the yawning sky, fringed with wide lotus leaves and the pale yellow blossoms that grow year-round. Geese call in the distance. And there again, drifting through the air—the scent of sesame shaobing, and hot dry noodles, and the sizzle-pop of frying oil. Like the heat-haze of summer, softened with time. Like the taste of home.
Or, four meals Wei Wuxian shares during his travels, and one he shares with his soulmate.

Between walking away from each other on a forest path to meeting again on a mountain peak, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji go back and forth until, finally, they meet in the middle.
Basically, I took the jumbled up montage scenes from the final episode and tried to make sense of them in the form of a slow burn romance, because two decades and fifty episodes is apparently not slow burn enough.
