Summary: Lan Wangji scolds five year old Wei Wuxian and deals with the consequences. Kay's comments: Things I didn't know I needed was having teenage Lan Wangji having to deal with a de-aged and timid little A-Ying. Cuteness overload, there is no other way to describe it. Excerpt: “Wei Ying?” Lan Xichen calls. Wei Wuxian's head pops out from behind the building at the mention of his name, his eyes wide with curiosity. Lan Xichen waves Wei Wuxian over, beckoning him to join them with a warm smile. Wei Wuxian hesitates for a moment before slowly making his way over, his little feet shuffling on the ground. He cannot be more than five years old, Lan Wangji notes, as his eyes flicker from Lan Xichen to Lan Wangji, uncertainty written all over his tiny face. “Come here, A-Ying,” Lan Xichen says gently, crouching down to be at eye level with the boy. “It’s alright.” Wei Wuxian takes a tentative step closer. When Lan Xichen offers his hand, Wei Wuxian takes it. Lan Wangji feels strangely bitter as Lan Xichen easily lifts Wei Wuxian into his arms, settling the boy on his hip in much the same way he used to carry a small Lan Wangji when they were younger. His brother, traitor that he is, gestures toward Lan Wangji and says, “A-Ying, did something happen? Was Wangji mean to you?”
