    Summary

    It’s 2 PM on a Tuesday and Jin Zixuan is curled up in the corner of a dingy basement laundry room, tears in his eyes as he struggles to understand why the universe—and this washing machine in particular—hates him.

    And then the door squeaks open, and Zixuan’s only reaction is to stuff his face into his stupid quarter-zip like a cashmere fleece turtle.
    “Is someone in here, or is the laundry room haunted again?” A man’s voice calls, and it’s almost jarring how friendly it is.

    “Again?” Zixuan hiccups.

    Footsteps on the tile, and then there’s a man frowning down at him with open concern. “Aw, bud. Are you crying? Me too sometimes.” And he pops a squat, right there in front of the sad turtle man, and Zixuan gets a close up of the riot of tattoos on his arms and peeking through the gaping rips in his jeans. “I’m Wei Ying.”

     

    -

    In which Jin Zixuan gets cut off and is quickly adopted by a pair of heavily-tattooed magpies who teach him how to do things like do laundry, ride the bus, and take control of his own stupid life.

    An ode to friendship and emotional support dipshits.

    Summary

    Everything about Professor Lan, from the way he speaks, thoughtful and poignant and never loud— like he was saying I will not raise my voice. If you want to learn, pay attention. It was one hell of a power move, in Hao Mei’s opinion— to the way he dresses, to the way even his gestures have a subtle elegance to them, scream that he is as meticulous as they come.

     
    Which is why it comes as such a shock to Hao Mei when someone in booty shorts appears in the background of Professor Lan’s video.

     

     
    In which Professor Lan's students try to figure out exactly who that person who appears in his video is

    Summary

    The trick to not getting broken, Tyler decides early on, in the first winter he's on his own, is to not care about anybody so much that they can break you.

    He manages to follow that rule, right up until he meets Jamie.

    ===========
    2009: Jamie's rookie year. He's got his future laid out in front of him. He's still lost in so many ways. Letting a boy like Tyler into his life is the best bad-idea he's ever had.

    Summary

    PHYSICS 101

    Rating: 2.0 | Would take again: No | Grade: B+

    Unless you want to spend the semester learning about Professor Wei’s highly specific feud with another professor that I still don’t understand the origin of, take a different professor!

    PHYSICS 263

    Rating: 2.5 | Would take again: No | Grade: C

    If you take this class, hope and pray that Wei Wuxian never stops by during lecture. He came in once just to ask Professor Lan if he’d removed the stick up his ass yet, and as soon as he left Prof Lan gave us all a pop quiz. EVIL.
