SUMMARY:

Every student of House Mandrake is assigned a study partner, a counterpart from House Valerian.

SUMMARY:

“Mn,” says Lan Zhan out of the blue one night. He has been playing guqin on the other side of the room without speaking for two hours, and Wei Wuxian has been noodling with some new ideas for talismans for nearly as long--one of those easy, quiet evenings of companionable silence, until Lan Zhan has thrown this enormous tantrum out of nowhere.

(A companion fic to "A Civil Combpaign". Read that one first.)

companion fic, not quite a sequel, all the bits that jin ling missed, wwx POV, wei wuxian’s avuncular powers, teenage drama, humor, let’s interrogate lwj’s trauma, feelings, fluff, wwx believes children are the future, who DOES sizhui take after?, answer: zewu-jun, wangxian are so extremely married, you thought you’d seen Married before, this is maximum Married, wangxian’s weird flirting, wwx’s hunger for family

Unstrictly Ballroom

link to AO3 AUTHOR: Ariaste (@ariaste) T, 47522 words, 4/4

RELATIONSHIPS: Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: ballroom dancing AU

SUMMARY:

Thirteen years ago, Wei Wuxian brought scandal and shame down upon his head and was thrown out of the competitive ballroom dance circuit. He vanished, never to be heard from again.

Lan Wangji aches when he remembers the way Wei Ying danced--like a laugh given movement and form. He has never stopped searching for him.

everyone’s alive, the gang defeats systemic heteronormativity, stripper AU, competitive ballroom dance AU, but did you know you can tango to wangxian.mp3, really stupid misunderstandings, yearning, mutual pining, the wrist grab, lan wangji makes a friend (who isn’t wei wuxian!), modern au but i keep the distinction between courtesy names/familiar names, modern au but it’s still set in Fantasy China (Gusu/Yiling/Lanling) rather than Real China, lwj’s pov so it’s thirsty as heck, erotic handholding

Content Warning: Romance

link to AO3 AUTHOR: Ariaste (@ariaste) M, 5911 words, 1/1

RELATIONSHIPS: Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: wwx would like some warning in the face of lwj’s earnest romance

SUMMARY:

Wei Wuxian just wants a little warning before Lan Wangji says nice things. Lan Wangji just wants to love on his husband, thanks.

creator chose not to use archive warnings, BDSM, praise kink, nonsexual kink, which turns into sexual kink, wwx’s canonical fetishes, kink negotiation, basically my ongoing mission to demonstrate to fandom that Kink Can Be Unbearably Soft Actually

A Civil Combpaign

link to AO3 AUTHOR: Ariaste (@ariaste) T, 19645 words, 1/1

RELATIONSHIPS: Jin Ling / Lan Sizhui, Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: jin ling tries to arrange his own marriage to lan sizhui

SUMMARY:

“And,” said one of the pompous ministers, “there’s the matter of a marriage to consider as well!”

Jin Ling, who at the beginning of that sentence had expected to slam into the very last wall of his patience and lose his temper entirely, paused. “A what?”

Thing was… it wasn’t such a bad idea.

arranged marriage, the difficulty of arranging your own marriage, combs are the best courting gift, overly subtle courting or overly oblivious courtee?, awkward teenagers, teenage drama, jin ling has too many uncles, wangxian’s weird flirting, wei wuxian’s avuncular powers, humor, yes the title is a pun on a Vorkosigan novel
