    Summary

    “He’s got snacks and his sketchbook and a couple of quiet toys in there, and he can go to the bathroom by himself if you take him to it, and he likes to ask questions in new places, and-“

    “Wei Ying.”

    “Right! Okay! God this is so weird. A-Yuan this is Lan-laoshi, be good for him please, he’s very nice. I’ll come pick you up as soon as I’m done, okay?”

    “Okay Baba,” A-Yuan says and then - so quickly it’s a surprise that his passing doesn’t make an audible swishing noise like a cartoon - Wei Wuxian darts into the lecture hall, leaving Lan Wangji alone with the scruffy bag and the not-nearly-as-scruffy toddler.

    Lan Wangji looks down at the boy, who looks back up at him, and he’s still far too adorable for his own good. “Your father is perhaps too trusting,” Lan Wangji remarks. A-Yuan seems to consider this for a long moment before he nods resolutely in a way that tells Lan Wangji he has no idea what he means. “May I carry you?” A-Yuan is quick to let go of his leg to reach up instead, so Lan Wangji reaches down to pick him up under his arms and hoist him onto his hip where he settles heavily like a sentient sack of potatoes.

    Summary

    The question has been posed by history's finest philosophers: how is prangent formed?

     

    One of Hua Cheng's caterpillars stows away on Xie Lian, who unwittingly smuggles it off to Puqi Shrine for an impromptu sleepover. Before he can return it to its home in Paradise Manor, the little creature goes into its cocoon, and mustn't be moved until it hatches.

    And then, of course, the gossip train gets totally out of control until everyone thinks Xie Lian got knocked up.

    (Written for the @hualianweek Eternal zine!)

    Summary

    It was that same, unsettlingly neat, pretty, smooth handwriting that Feng Xin had come to appreciate over the many years of studying. This time though, the message was different.

     

    ‘Please be my friend.’

     

    It was the same handwriting, yet the message had changed. Feng Xin found it to be extremely odd; why switch everything up now, after having already established a pattern for so long? Also, to ask a god for their friendship, wasn’t it too bold? Nevertheless, the fact remained that this person was extremely dedicated. Perhaps they had already found a friend and now wanted only to be closer to Feng Xin himself?

    or, alternatively: Mu Qing has been lighting a lantern for Feng Xin every year and Feng Xin finds out. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng “help” the two talk it out.

    Summary

    Xie Lian never left that coffin. Not truly.

    He didn't.

    He never escaped it. He did not continue living outside of it.

    And now, he has become a Calamity.

     

    Or: Xl dies in the coffin, becomes a Calamity, and meets Hc right before ascending for the third time. Plot ensues.

    Summary

    "What exactly does partying look like?"

    Shi Qing Xuan groans. "'What does partying look like,' he asks me," she laments. "Partying looks like drinking and dancing and having fun! You were a prince, you should know stuff like this."

    "I was a serious cultivator," Xie Lian counters. "You may have heard of me." Hua Cheng laughs. "And anyway I'm not allowed to drink."

    "Foolish Prince, Swordsman Poet, no rules, just right!" Shi Qing Xuan insists. "You can go back to being repressed tomorrow. But tonight who cares."

    --

    No rules just right! Just for one night, though.
