    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

    Summary

    "Wow," Kaveh said, as a senior walked by. "Look at that... there's just something about people with long hair."

    Alhaitham studied the senior in question. She had hair down to her hips, and was currently laughing with some friends as she pulled it back casually into a ponytail.

    Alhaitham then studied Kaveh. Kaveh looked entranced: jaw a little slack; coral eyes wide.

    "You... really like long hair?"

    Kaveh startled, blinked. "Yeah, I suppose I do," he said.

    Alhaitham studied the flush of Kaveh's cheeks, his unrelenting gaze. "I see," he said.

    Alhaitham grows his hair out. He has been growing his hair out since they were students. It falls to his hips in a river of silver and green. Kaveh looks, and looks, and looks.

    Summary

    Courting 101. Tch. Just what does Al-Haitham think he's playing at?

    Kaveh storms into the room and sets the book on his desk with a large thud.

    "Stop this ruse and tell me just what you intend to get out of this," Kaveh says, breathing furiously.

    Al-Haitham studies him for a moment, visibly ruminating over a matter, and then something changes in his expression.

    "Okay," he says, and then he pulls Kaveh over the desk by the lapels and kisses him fully on the mouth.

    Al-Haitham is courting Kaveh. He is very smug about it.

    Summary

    Debates become arguments. Arguments become fights. Fights become something more when Kaveh goes overboard in his vices the longer he lives with Alhaitham. Soon, the Scribe's peace becomes far too interrupted for him to ignore the problem, making it his own to solve despite Kaveh's deliberate resistance.

    Of course, far be it for him to realize he may have been the problem all along. And luckily, or perhaps unluckily, the rejection Kaveh expects only spites Alhaitham to prove him wrong further.
