    Summary

    There were a few things that Lan Sizhui knew about himself.

    First, that he was not born in the Cloud Recesses, or in Gusu, or anywhere nearby. Zewu-Jun was apologetic and kind about it when he asked, as always, but was clear to the fact that he didn’t know any more about it than Lan Sizhui did.

    “You are here now,” he said gently, “and that is what matters.”

    There was a vast abyss in Lan Sizhui’s childhood around the things they didn’t talk about, deep with his father’s grief.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao is used to being overlooked, but not quite like this.

    “No,” Lan Huan decides after a moment. “But you will have to sacrifice something, I’m afraid.” 

    Jin Guangyao blinks at him and sets the cup back onto the saucer, careful to keep it from clinking too loudly. “Something like what?” He asks. 

    “Nothing you can’t live without, I think,” He says. “Something you might miss, for a while.”

    Summary

    In the end, the decision was easy.

    "I've come to tell you I have accepted a position at Yiling University."

    Qingheng-jun's attention drifted back to his phone. "Not very prestigious is it?”

    "I am taking the professorship. I am also taking the boys."

     

    After the death of their mother, Lan Qiren removes his nephews from Cloud Recesses to Yiling.

    Summary

    It feels like a performance. Like a lie. Like once again he is nine, looking over his shoulder, and thinking: they won't believe me. The truth isn’t enough. Not big enough, not meaningful enough, not - just not enough, somehow, for an occasion like this. Lan Xichen, loose-limbed, bare-skinned. What else in the world matters?

    --

    Jin Guangyao spends the night in the Cloud Recesses. It...doesn't go quite as planned.

    aka: an exploration of truth and touch, and what both mean for intimacy

    Summary

    In the coffin house, there was always food, a roof over his head. It was warm in the winter and he only had to worry about one, sometimes two people stabbing him to death in his sleep. Little Blind wasn’t so bad, even if she was nosey and annoying. The world around him was easy, quiet and most often bloodless. Some people might have even called it comfortable.

    Xue Yang was not one of those people.
