    Summary

    Wei Wuxian grits his teeth, knowing he has no other choice. Not if it means Lan Zhan’s life. Besides, the Cloud Recesses has the best library and a long history of dealing with curses. It’s the most logical choice, even if he’d like to punch logic in the face right now.

    “Wei Ying?” Lan Zhan asks.

    He gives him a grim smile. “Looks like you’re finally getting your wish, Lan Zhan.”

    Lan Zhan stares back at him, expression blank.

    “I’m coming to Gusu with you.”

     

    Or: Lan Wangji gets hit with a curse that requires Wei Wuxian to stay in close proximity at all times. Everything only gets more complicated from there.

    Summary

    During his “night hunt” in Yiling, Lan Wangji is struck by a curse that transforms him into a wolf. He approaches Wei Wuxian for help. This is how he learns three things:

    1) Wei Wuxian is afraid of dogs and dog-adjacent creatures.
    2) Wei Wuxian will do literally anything for a friend in need.
    3) Wei Wuxian considers Lan Wangji to be... possibly more than a friend?!?

    Summary

    Lan Zhan is glaring at him. That's probably fair.

    The last time they'd seen each other, Wei Ying had been digging through Lan Zhan's garbage. They'd made eye contact over the shredded bags, the week's trash scattered around him like stinky, oversized Lego.

    Lan Zhan's eyes had been wide with horror, and Wei Ying's had been equally wide with feigned innocence. He'd reached out slowly, maintaining the eye contact, and then flipped over the food waste bin full of onion peel and carrot skin as a distraction and slunk off into the night. Probably not his finest moment.

    Dear Editor,
    On page B5 of the Arts & Culture section, the jazz concert review contains an error. The sixth paragraph, which describes Xiao Xingchen as a “terrorist,” should presumably say “tenorist” instead.
    Sincerely,
    Reader

    Dear discerning reader,
    Thank you for reaching out about this matter. In fact, that is not an error; rather, our Arts & Culture writer sincerely believes that being bad at jazz is equivalent to terrorism.
    Helpfully,
    Wei Wuxian

    Summary

    ‘Alright, fine,’ huffs Wei Ying, blowing out his cheeks. He adjusts his grip on the smooth hilt of the sword, as cold as wet stone beneath his palm. ‘How do I give this back to you?’
    ‘I must trade with you something of equal worth,’ says the strange man.
    ‘Uh. Okay.’ Wei Ying rubs his forehead with his free hand. ‘How about your name? Your real name.’ In case he needs to file a police report or stalk this beautiful, scary man on google or something.
    The man looks even more angry. He pulls his shoulders back and draws himself to his full height, which is rather impressive and forces Wei Ying to tip his chin up slightly.
    ‘My name is Lan Zhan,’ the man says.
