With the Allied sects' war against Wen Ruohan over, it's time to rebuild. Not just the physical, either. New disciples need to be trained. Old alliances need to be reworked. New alliances need to be framed. For Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan of Lotus Pier, this means marrying off their daughter to Jin Zixuan. And finding a bride for their son. For Wei Wuxian it means discovering that he, too, can be married off for the good of the sect. And the best offer has come from an unlikely source for a rather nonsensical reason. It never made sense that the heir to Gusu Lan, the man who had spent the previous seven years actively disliking him, would suddenly offer himself as a marriage prospect, giving all the advantage to Yunmeng Jiang and asking only for Wei Wuxian in return.

Lan Qiren knew he was a slow learner at times. 'Stubborn' and 'intransigent' were some of what he had considered his better qualities in his younger years. But almost one hundred and fifty years was long enough for even him to realize that he'd made more than a few mistakes over the course of his lifetime. Excessive pride in himself, his family line, his sect, and in his cultivation had shielded him from seeing those mistakes when he was younger. However.... He'd now had more than eighty years of watching one nephew being absolutely besotted with his husband and their children. And eighty years of watching his other nephew trying to pretend that he was a competent sect leader; Xichen constantly doubted himself. It was time to make a change.

Wei Wuxian knows a relationship between them would be impossible, but he can't help but be drawn to Lan Wangji. They would be formidable together as a couple, if only he wasn't a vampire, and if the great Hanguang Jun wasn't a paladin of Gusu Lan that hunted and killed supernatural beings.

Lan Zhan struggles to heal after Punishment and to begin his role as Baba to the young and also injured A'Yuan. He also must deal with the broken bond of trust between him and Lan XiChen.

At thirteen, Wei Ying creates an array he calls 'Time Reversal' which he uses to save Jiang Cheng from drowning. At fifteen, he dies in a tragic accident. Two years after that, Wen Ruohan has overcome the Nie-Lan-Jiang rebellion. The small clans as well as the great sects are almost completely obliterated. On the eve of her execution, Jiang Yanli hands Lan Wangji her shidi's childhood journal of tricks and talisman designs he invented. As she reminisces about Wei Ying, she sighs. "Wen Xu would have started torturing him long before the Nie and still be torturing him long after we're all dead. Either that or he would have found a way for us to all win. He would never accept an outcome where A'Cheng and I die like this." What will the righteous Lan Wangji do when facing his own execution and holding a book containing an array that might allow him to change everything?

They were not supposed to meet or getting married or falling in love. They did it anyway. WangXian story.

A sunny meadow above a waterfall, soulmates meeting after too long apart - this was not the end, but the beginning. Fates and Clans did their worst but nothing could come between Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi. The two men would keep their vows to stand with justice and live with no regrets, come what may. Whatever the fates or Clans could throw their way, they would conquer it all, always together.

During wedding planning, Wei Ying disappears right in front of the powerless twin jades. It turns out that this is a spell gone awry by Nie Huaisang and now both are trapped in the past. Will Wei Ying ever get back to Lan Zhan? Or will it take another two decades? And will he smother Nie Huaisang I'm his sleep because of his constant whining? Read as Wei struggles to get back to Lan Zhan, and Lan Zhan breaks looking for him. -- Short story!

Wen RuoHan is defeated and Wei WuXian lies in the courtyard of the Fire Palace as if dead. The Healers can't detect his Golden Core because of the mass of resentful energy swirling through his dantians and meridians. In an effort to save his life, Lan WangJi begs the Jiang siblings to allow him to take Wei WuXian back to Gusu. Reluctantly, they agree; the tranquility of Cloud Recesses will aid his healing far more than working to restore Lotus Pier will. Wei WuXian is not so sure that being GusuLan's prisoner is the better choice. He wished they'd just get on with the trial and execution instead of these ineffective attempts to Heal him. ~*~ This is a mature fiction. Not suitable for children.
