    Summary

    “My name is Xie Lian.”

    He Xuan’s eyes widened so far they looked like they would pop out of their sockets. Though his expression quickly changed, growing darker and morphing into a look of pure terror.

    He Xuan whispered, “Fuck…”

    -

    When Xie Lian washes up in Black Water Sinking Ship's domain, instead of being boiled and eaten alive, he makes a new friend who tells him all about the four calamities. And he finds the story of Crimson Rain Sought Flower particularly interesting.

    Summary

    “Wei Wuxian,” the man grits out, and he pauses with one hand reaching for the door handle. The disciple who had come in to speak to Lan Qiren brushes past him and exits the pavilion without a backwards glance. Wei Wuxian turns back to Master Lan, one eyebrow tilting up in question. “An urgent matter has come up,” Lan Qiren says, every word sounding like it’s being forcibly dragged from him. “His Excellency requests my presence. Their current instructor is ill, I was meant to take over classes for today,” he continues, gesturing towards the tiny juniors. He swallows heavily, and the next sentence sounds bitter. Choked. “I cannot leave them unattended.”

    Wei Wuxian just blinks at him.

    Or

    Wei Wuxian is asked (under duress) to babysit a class of tiny Lan cultivators for just a few minutes. A few minutes turns into an hour, turns into two hours, turns into an impromptu literal field trip and now there's an entire class that is weeks ahead of their curriculum, their most junior disciples have apparently imprinted on Wei Wuxian like baby birds, and Lan Qiren has no one to blame but himself.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian’s eyes are sharp, piercing as his arrows. “And you? Lan Zhan – you measure yourself and all others by your code alone. Tell me what you think. Truly.”

    It has been so… empty, without Wei Wuxian. Living day to day, week to week knowing more rumours are spreading of his evil ways, knowing the sects are increasingly fearful, slavering for blood as they plot his demise. He has lived with fear in his mouth for longer than he knows, waiting to hear that Yiling has been invaded, trampled, wiped out. That Wei Wuxian’s bright light is gone, extinguished.

    That the man who holds his heart in a strangle-hold, so tight it feels smothering sometimes, has died for his principles in the face of Lan Wangji’s intransience.

    “I want you to come back with me,” he says.

    Or: When the sects agree to invite the Yiling Laozu back into the cultivation world to raise those who die before their time, Lan Wangji volunteers to be the one to mind him.
