Summary

“Xichen. Xichen.”
Lan Xichen blinked.
“You look distracted.” Nie Mingjue’s face was so close to his own. At some point, they had moved close enough together that Lan Xichen could count every single lash shadowing Nie Mingjue’s cheeks. Tanned skin, warmed by the sun and warmed by that smile that Nie Mingjue reserved just for him, begged for his attention. Lan Xichen’s smile was not as forced as he had imagined it. Still, Nie Mingjue seemed to have picked up on the change in his mood. “What is it?"
He didn’t want to ask, but he couldn’t help himself. “Did we… did we ever go to school with someone named Meng Yao?”
Lan Xichen dreams of a man he does not know. A man who is not his boyfriend.
A man who died in his arms.
Written for Radiance: A MXTX Anthology.

Summary

And here Haikuan is, sitting next to you, alive and real and impossibly beautiful.
You want to kiss him. You want to climb onto his lap, right here in this fancy bar, right in front of everyone. You want to push your fingers into his hair and your tongue into his mouth and call him Er-ge again—
What a very stupid thing to want.

happy xiyao AU by ralf

Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)

Summary

Stand alone fics with the same backdrop: Xiyao happily married at Cloud Recesses (and winning at communication). Mostly character / relationship study.
I imagine this to have diverged from canon after Sunshot where, for nebulous reasons, A-Yao married Lan Xichen instead of becoming a Jin.
Edit: Now with a stunningly beautiful fanart from the talented littlesmartart, depicting a moment from the fic “want”
