Night Bus, by Suspicious_Popsicle – 魔道祖师 – 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī – Mòxiāng Tóngxiù [Archive of Our Own]

They had come to a bus stop. The hiss of the breaks and the sharp clack of the doors opening snapped him out of his stupor. Wei WuXian shook his head, trying to get his thoughts to focus. What had he been drinking, anyway? He couldn’t remember even going to a bar.

A few people got off the bus. A few more got on. It was crowded. Few seats were open. Listlessly, he watched a man board, thinking absolutely nothing of it until their eyes met suddenly. For a moment, both of them froze. Overtaken by the strangest sense of recognition, Wei WuXian shifted unobtrusively further from the vacant seat to his right. He felt a weak smile flicker to life briefly on his face. It was invitation enough for the man.

This is strange and beautiful, and I don’t think I’ve ever read something quite like it.

Wei Wuxian meets Lan Wangji one night when the moon is full and high in the sky, and since then he thinks he hasn’t stopped smiling once. There’s just something about Lan Wangji, after all.

Or; 5 times Wei Wuxian smiled at Lan Wangji, and 1 time Lan Wangji smiled back.

A lovely, lovely canon-divergence set during their school days at Cloud Recesses, where everything is happiness and nothing hurts.

Being a fierce corpse is painful. Wei Wuxian finds a way to make it both better and worse at the same time.

Wen Ning is a precious cinnamon role and deserves the world – unfortunately, though, he falls in love with the man trying so hard to help him. This hurts so much!

“You’re alive,” Wei WuXian tells him nonsensically, and Lan WangJi barely has time to nod in affirmation before Wei WuXian yanks him into a wet hug. “Get out of here, you dumb jerk,” he mumbles, squeezing him, ignoring how his wounds from Zidian pull agonizingly at the movement. “What the hell are you doing here?” He feels Lan WangJi’s hands come hesitantly up to embrace him back. He says quietly, so that Jiang Cheng won’t hear, “I don’t think there’s anything you can do for the Jiangs.”

“Wei Ying,” Lan WangJi says, equally quietly, “With all due respect… I am not here for the Jiangs.”

Lan Zhan finds the Jiangs on their way back to Lotus Pier after the attack. This feels like a missing scene from the show, slotting in seamlessly.

“I’ve been trying not to think about Xiao-xiong and Song-xiong,” Wei WuXian confesses. “I didn’t know them that well either, but I really liked meeting them. I guess I had known what their deal was before, but to actually meet them was like, Here, idiot, here’s two cultivators doing exactly what you want to do! It’s possible after all!” Lan WangJi stops breathing. Wei WuXian continues, “I thought then that maybe after everything was over I could…” He stops and clears his throat. Then he admits, “Well, I sort of fantasized about whisking you away from Gusu and convincing you to join their sect with me.”

“Oh,” Lan WangJi breathes.

This is simply perfect – not only incorporating my beloved Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, but creating an absolutely wonderful Lan Zhan POV post-Yi City. He’s so very sad (depressed, which I can relate to), and so very in love, and Wei Ying is so very slow on the uptake (as always), seeing them find each other feels like a gift.

Zhu Yi Long is an awkward turtle. Now he has to deal with letting Shen Wei and Ye Zun go.

This might just be my new favourite piece of RPF, because it’s somehow both funny and bittersweet as well as completely in-character. I’m just a tiny bit in love.

Tang Yi knows what Andy is like, knows that Andy likes interesting people. And once Shaofei got tired of snapping at Andy every time Andy comes around to see Tang Yi, it’s almost inevitable that Andy would stop seeing him as an annoyance, and more as a person of interest.

The point is this — that Tang Yi shouldn’t have been surprised to see them together, but he is.

Jealous!Tang Yi makes my heart glad, who’d have thunk it? 😉 I have such a thing for idiots in love, it’s a problem. (No, it isn’t.)
