wei wuxian/lan zhan fics

♥ 蓝色生死恋; a blue love (to live and to die for) :: yiqie :: R [25k]
Wei Wuxian separates his life, without noticing, into three chapters. Some days, they’re hard to look at, hard to read, harder to know he wrote all of them himself. Some of the words are in blood.

♥ a stone to break your soul, a song to save it :: rikke :: R [180k]
When the entire cultivation world turns against Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng comes up with a plan to save him and arranges a marriage between his brother and the Second Jade of Lan, Lan Wangji.
[arranged marriage!]

♥ ★ A Sure Thing :: mrsronweasley :: NC17 [95k]
The message says, I require exclusive commitment as well as flexibility. You may spend the night, but not always. I will be the one to keep the schedule of our meetings.
Wei Ying crunches on a chip thoughtfully, then takes a deep breath and writes back, What do I get in return?
[sugar daddy fic]

♥ ★ a tide in two seas :: occultings :: NC17 :: [57k -- WIP!!]
A midnight train, two unexpected encounters, and a rift in spacetime.
[time travel, parallel universes, case fic]

★ all that and more :: Euphorion :: NC17 [20k]
Wei Wuxian locks his phone and puts it down, blinks at his ceiling, and picks it up again. The pictures are still there.
His first thought is that Lan Zhan meant them for someone else. That he just woke up at — he checks the timestamp — 6:30 am on a Sunday and decided to go absolute full nuclear seduction option on some poor boy he met on Grindr, who would now be missing out on the best thing to ever happen to him because Wei Wuxian had a bad habit of distracting—of—oh.
Pieces of last night start to resurface and paste themselves together in his head. He winces.
[straight!wwx isn’t as straight as he thought]

★ Almost Lover :: mrsronweasley :: NC17 [37k]
Wei Ying usually comes over late. Well. Wei Ying usually comes over late for this.
They don't really talk about it. Oh, Wei Ying talks--he talks ceaselessly while in bed: murmurs of approval, breathless requests, exhaled appreciations. But they never talk about why.

Or, Lan Zhan goes along with things until something happens that forces him to make a choice.
[H/C, friends to lovers]

♥ ★ ☀ and having a marvelous time :: varnes :: NC17 [60k -- WIP!!]
Wen Qing relaxes minutely, scrutinizing him. “Then,” she asks, “why are you here, Lan-er-gongzi?”
He thinks of seven children, living here, surrounded by ghosts, fathered — fathered? — by the one who harnesses resentment to command the dead. Children he has named, inexplicably, Lan. Wen Qionglin is a fierce corpse, and yet he apparently talks and thinks and makes his own decisions. The children call him jiujiu. The children climb on his lap and ignore his instructions and say things like “he’s dead” with a careless lilt in their voices.
Whatever the Yiling Patriarch is doing, whatever Wei Wuxian wants, Lan Wangji does not think it is an act of war.
So he does not say, “I am here to neutralize the Yiling Patriarch.”
He does not say, “Sentiment is gathering against you.”
He does not say, “First liberate, second suppress, third eliminate.”
Lying is forbidden, so Lan Wangji bows his head and says something true: “The Lan sect has very recently learned of seven disciples living in Yiling. I have come to attend their education.”

OR: It's a Sound of Music AU. Sort of.
[fake relationship, slow burn]

★ ☾ artificial nocturne :: idrilka :: NC17 [11k]
It’s nearing two in the morning when Wei Ying steps out of the club. In the middle of December, the air is chilly at this hour of the night even this far south, and the flimsy jacket thrown over a crop top does very little to keep the sting of the cold out.
The hunger is so loud tonight. It’s been a while since Wei Ying properly made out with someone until the guy started to all but hump his leg and Wei Ying could feed off more than just wisps of the yang energy that flowed between them. In more ways than one, he’s been feeding off scraps for so long that he doesn’t even remember what it’s like to feel full.

Sex demon Wei Ying meets cultivator Lan Zhan in front of a night club on a cold winter night. Things escalate from there.

as amber of ember glows :: occultings :: NC17 [11k]
“So you’re really telling me.” Wei Ying, flushed red and bunched up with his knees to his chest, is staring. Sort of abjectly, sort of disbelievingly. “This is a sex curse?”

★ as if you were a mythical thing :: daltoneering :: R [17k]
lan wangji wants to ask him so many things. but he is still processing the fact that wei wuxian knows what he is. he knows what he is, and he's a clockmaker.
before he can stop himself, he's unbuckling the timepiece from around his wrist and setting it down on the counter in front of wei wuxian.
"it's broken."

★ asymptotic :: chinxe :: PG13 [27k]

Jiang Cheng gathers up his determination in both hands and goes to the Cloud Recesses to embark on one of the most difficult endeavors he can imagine: Repairing his relationship with his brother.

While exorcising a haunting, Lan Wangji gets cursed with a brand of honesty, and is forced to speak his every thought out loud.

♥ Boy Trouble, We've Got Double :: saltyfeathers :: NC17 [60k]
Lan Zhan stands there in his immaculate, cloud-patterned Lan robes, watching him calmly, one fist tucked up against his back. “I am betrothed.”
Wei Wuxian blinks. “Are you…” He tries to laugh. Again, it sounds inhuman. “Is this about last night? Are you mad at me? I only remember some of it, Lan Zhan. I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I’m sure whatever I did I was just—” He gestures uselessly. He remembers being warm in Lan Zhan’s lap. He remembers fitting snugly in Lan Zhan’s lap. Wrapping his arms around Lan Zhan’s neck. Nosing at his jaw. “…playing around.”
“This has nothing to do with you, Wei Wuxian.”

♥ build me no shrines :: occultings :: R [54k]
Wei Wuxian opens the letter and skims through, feeling his frown deepen with every line. “Oh. A request from Yiling. This man Tong Shen writes, 'I can’t explain what’s happening — you wouldn’t believe me if I tried. The hills are moving and they are hungry. Please send aid, Hanguang-jun, this humble one begs you.' Well, my curiosity is certainly piqued."

A few months after the events of Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a night hunt of an unusual sort: The Burial Mounds are spreading, quickly and with no apparent explanation.
In Wei Wuxian, it brings old, long-buried things bubbling to the surface.

☀ Child Surprise :: Ariaste :: PG13 [4k]
He huffs a sigh. “Fine. Just--let’s just make it the law of surprise, shall we? That’s nice and simple, eh? Leave it up to destiny what will bring us back in balance. Let it drop something of yours into my lap, something small, and we’ll call the debt paid.”

Three debts, three repayments.

A Civil Combpaign :: Ariaste :: PG13 [19k]
“And,” said one of the pompous ministers, “there’s the matter of a marriage to consider as well!”
Jin Ling, who at the beginning of that sentence had expected to slam into the very last wall of his patience and lose his temper entirely, paused. “A what?”
Thing was… it wasn’t such a bad idea.

★ debt of a knife :: iliacquer :: NC17 [13k]
The Lans were all shining and strange, more beings of ice than men, but not a single one of them shone as brightly as their lord. He strode forward, his cloak a whisper of noise against the snow, his black hair glittering with frost.
“Kneel,” said Hanguang Jun. His voice was deep.

“My what,” said Wei Wuxian.

Embers :: xantissa :: NC17 [38k]
It starts with a curse, Jin Guangyao’s last revenge, seeking to tarnish what he could never touch. Lan Xichen is prepared to die from it, if he must, taking the shame of it to his grave. He doesn’t expect his brother’s lover to figure out the situation, let alone that Wei Wuxian might be their best hope of dealing with the curse in a way that leaves all three of them with their self-respect intact. And he certainly doesn’t expect being slowly, carefully drawn into their relationship, and learning how to live again.
[WWX/LWJ/LXC fic!! sex pollen, threesome]

★ the family-dodging bathroom-dwellers association :: yukla ::PG13 [5k]
“I’m not hungry anymore either,” Wei Wuxian continues. “I’ve decided that I don’t actually need to eat dinner. Who needs winter melon soup when bathroom tap water has such a deliciously sulfurous depth of flavor? Ugh—I can’t see anything, where are those damn towels—”
A paper towel is shoved into Wei Wuxian’s hand.
“Oh, thanks—”
“I do not think drinking that water is advisable,” says a voice that is definitely not Jiang Cheng’s.

Or, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji meet in a restaurant bathroom after they both go there to escape from their uncomfortable family dinner gatherings.

♥ Four Parts Honey and One Part Vinegar :: masked :: PG13 [13k]
“You know,” Ouyang Zizhen says thoughtfully over dinner one day, “I’ve never seen Wei-qianbei get jealous before.”
Lan Jingyi pauses for the briefest second, remembers the sect rule of keeping silence during meals, and decidedly forgoes it. “What?”
“Well,” Ouyang Zizhen continues, “Hanguang-jun always has a lot of admirers everywhere we go, but Wei-qianbei never seems to mind it.”
“Why are we talking about this?” Jin Ling asks flatly.
-
Four times Wei Wuxian doesn't get jealous, and the one time he does.
[time travel]

The Guests of Cloud Recesses :: cafecliche :: PG13 [10k]
“We’re in this together, you know,” Wei Wuxian says. “You’re dead. I used to be dead. We're both tolerated and incredibly unwelcome here. We both annoy the same people, as far as I can tell. I’ve built relationships on less. Let’s work this out.”
But again, there’s no response.

(Or: there's a ghost in the Cloud Recesses.)

Hanguang-jun's Husband :: alittlemorecreative :: PG13 [6k]
Mo Xuanyu laughed, loud and unrestrained, and Wei Wuxian stared as he patted the top of Lan Zhan's head. "Er-gege," he said over his shoulder. "You used to be so shy!"
Wei Wuxian found himself stepping back in surprise as Mo Xuanyu crowded Lan Zhan. He startled as the older Lan Wangji fell into step beside him, and watched his husband tease his younger self with a serene, fond expression.

Or: In which, blissfully married Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian stumble into their past; shenanigans ensue.

♥ ★ the heartlines on our hands :: occultings :: NC17 [47k]

♥ ★ how to fall in love with a catfish: a guide by wei wuxian (disaster rat) :: Anonymous :: PG13 [54k]
A new plan hatches in Wei Wuxian’s head. If this nocturnal, bottom-feeding, slimy, invasive mudcat posing as a beautiful actor thinks he can sway Wei Wuxian with animal pictures and a sob story and an unbelievably stilted way of texting with still no dick pictures in the first five minutes of conversation, he has another thing coming. Wei Wuxian’s got it, alright, he has this in the fucking bag.

Wei Wuxian plots to expose a catfish using strategic memes and turtle pictures while wiggling his way out of family dinner. Lan Wangji just wants companions.
[college/university, slow burn, famous!LWJ]

How to Keep Your Diplomatic Asset Close (and Your Wei Ying Closer) by His Excellency :: misscam :: R [5k]
“Uncle considers Wei Ying a diplomatic asset,” Lan Zhan says, and Wei Wuxian boggles at that. Lan Qiren considers him what? “Very determined I keep Wei Ying close for the rest of the conference.”
“An asset?” Wei Wuxian repeats. “Your uncle considered me an asset – to you?”
“Mn.”
“Maybe he thought I’d make it less boring for you, haha,” Wei Wuxian says after a moment, still slightly baffled, but finding the idea of staying close to Lan Zhan a far too enticing prospect to question it further.
(In which Lan Qiren considers Wei Wuxian a diplomatic asset His Excellency should keep close, Wei Ying wants to be kissed, touched and ravished breathless, Lan Zhan may enjoy himself a great deal, Nie Huaisang might be making an attempt at amends, and in the end, Lan Xichen ends up feeling not the least bit guilty.)
[fluff, humor]

hunters seeking solid ground :: Attila :: NC17 [23k]
“Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants — but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”
[H/C, sharing a bed]

i don't wanna lose you (hope it never ends) :: annemari :: PG13 [20k]
Wei Wuxian presses his fingers against Lan Zhan's forehead, gently moving the ribbon, and sighs. "Lan Zhan, you have a fever."

Wei Wuxian drops his hand, leans one shoulder into the stunted door frame. “Oh. Okay. So. Why are you here, exactly?”
“The Institute sent me to assist you,” the ridiculously beautiful cardigan owner says, “as your familiar.”
Wei Wuxian laughs as if it’s a joke, although the man’s stony expression makes it clear that any humor gleaned from him is likely unintentional.
“Well, uh, I appreciate your,” Wei Wuxian says, “you know, time, but everything is under control here, actually.”
With impeccable timing, a tea-kettle sound keens from the kitchen, followed by a contained bang.

“A-Yuan,” he says, carefully, “did—did you make the flowers grow like this?”
A-Yuan shakes his head in exasperation. “Baba, I said. Doctor Flowers did it.”
“Doctor Flowers,” Lan Zhan repeats, pointing at the tiny plum tree, just to confirm that his son is suggesting a magical tree named Doctor Flowers sprouted overnight and made their tame family project turn into a verdant jungle.
A-Yuan nods. “Doctor Flowers,” he confirms. “He’s funny! I like him.”

A mysterious garden blooms on Lan Zhan's rooftop. His internet forum pen pal gives great gardening advice but never seems to sleep. The man who works at the florist, who keeps reviving the plants that Lan Zhan can't seem to keep alive, has a beautiful smile.

The problem is, Lan Wangji hasn’t been able to stop thinking about him. Meng Yao had asked what Lan Wangji wants; what he wants is a clear mind. To not be plagued by thoughts of a man whose name he doesn’t even know. He keeps playing their next confrontation in his head, a movie with infinite variety. He imagines he would gain the upper hand. Not through wit, probably. Intimidation, maybe. He’d crowd the man, to make him hear what Lan Wangji had to say. Push him against the wall, if he tried to escape. Fist his hand in that black hair, if he—

Wei Wuxian was the most infamous street racer of his generation. They still speak of him now, the stuff of legend: the reckless abandon, the hair pin turns, midnight races over dangerous tracks. His death, racing through the streets of Nightless City with his sister in the passenger seat, the moment when his luck finally ran out.
10 years later, Mo Xuanyu enters his first street race.

"And for Lan Zhan? He's not going to believe that I mentioned A-Yuan to him and he's the one who forgot about it."
Nie Huaisang lifts his wine glass and gestures with it a little, like a sage who has given his advice and now the rest is Wei Wuxian's problem. "You're just going to have to pretend very hard. Don't let him break you."

Or: The one where Wei Wuxian secretly adopts A-Yuan and when he tries to convince Lan Wangji he had a kid all along, Lan Wangji rolls with it, ups the ante, and sets off a game of chicken that digs up buried feelings that Wei Wuxian is 100% sure he's not going to act on. Okay, 90% sure.

“A-Yuan,” a voice says from inside the house, and then Lan Wangji comes into view, and — god, was he always this tall? Had Wei Ying really not noticed that, back at the Academy? Lan Wangji is really fucking tall. He’s wearing a soft blue button-down today, and his hair is tied back again, but he’s in socks and slippers. The socks have a cloud pattern on them. It makes him look strangely soft and vulnerable. It’s reassuring, to see that the Sexiest Man in the World wears patterned socks just like everyone else.
“Baba, Wei-laoshi is here!” A-Yuan says happily, tugging on his father’s hand.
“Yes, he is.” Lan Wangji dips his head in Wei Ying’s direction and gently steers A-Yuan back into the front hall. “Let’s step aside and allow him to come in. Wei Ying, thank you for making time in your schedule.”
“Ah, no need for thanks,” Wei Ying says airily, standing up again. “Money exchanged for goods and services, right? You’re paying me for it!”

"Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."
Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."

Wei Ying lets out a long, ugly groan. “I am fine, Lan Zhan. Everybody is overreacting, it’s so embarrassing for all of you.”
“You had undiagnosed pneumonia, which you walked around with for weeks until you passed out during dress,” Lan Wangji corrects him. “It got a big laugh, until everyone thought you were dead.”
He keeps his voice even and does not tell Wei Ying that it had been Lan Wangji who caught him, who called the ambulance, and who rode with him to the hospital, where he was yelled at by nurses who wanted to know why he hadn’t noticed that Wei Ying couldn’t stop shivering or string proper sentences together.
“Rumors of my demise have been vastly overstated,” Wei Ying says. “Anyway, I’m already feeling much better. Basically fine. Really almost completely back to normal, so stop babying me and tell me why the fuck you let your stupid brother hire the worst man in the world to host our show.”

“We hear that His Excellency might be married by summer’s end,” the merchant’s wife says and Wei Wuxian freezes, his heart in his throat. “The Gusu Lan sect has been buying enough red silk and brocade that the merchants in Caiyi can’t satisfy the demand.”
He feels himself grow brittle inside, like a flick of a finger to his temple might make him shatter. His ears are ringing.

"I don't want to really date anyone. It's so stupid, I just need to pretend date someone until Jiang Cheng gets his act together, then go back to my own life." He stares at his empty coffee cup.
"Date me," Lan Zhan says. Then he looks at Wei Ying's empty cup. "Would you like another cup of coffee?"
"Always," Wei Ying says automatically. "But wait, what."
"I'll get you another cup." Lan Zhan rises smoothly from the table.
"No, wait, hang on." Wei Ying grabs his wrist before he can take the cup and Lan Zhan freezes up, staring down at where Wei Ying is hanging on to him. "Fuck, sorry, I'll—" Wei Ying hastily lets go of his wrist. "Sorry, I— what did you mean?"

Wei Ying, being the brilliant man that he is, is already ahead of him. "Holy shit."

Wei Wuxian is waiting for him, the iron cooking pan held tightly in one hand and Xiao Pingguo perched on his shoulder. Crows always look a little menacing, Wei Wuxian thinks — he hopes he cuts an intimidating figure now, with his crow and his cooking pan. He’s too skinny, not as strong as he used to be, and he doesn’t have a sword. But he has the Stygian Tiger Seal, tucked safely into one of his sleeves. He doesn’t need physical strength for that.
Now he adjusts his grip on the pan. “Who are you?” he demands.
The man blinks at him, runs his eyes up and down the length of Wei Wuxian’s body. They’re very pale, almost gold. “My name is Lan Wangji.”

Or: Wei Wuxian is locked in a tower. Lan Wangji finds him.

Saw My Life in a Stranger's Face :: timetoboldlygo :: PG13 [27k]
Lan Wangji had long since stopped thinking of Wei Wuxian's body as Mo Xuanyu's. He grew used to all the ways it was different and the same from the last. But slowly, surely, now that they were comfortable, Wei Wuxian's face had begun to change again. The lines of his jaw became a slightly smudged drawing. Not all together unfamiliar, just enough that Lan Wangji second-guessed his own memory. There was one night Lan Wangji came home to find Wei Wuxian's eyes had changed color. He woke one morning and was taller, his silhouette stretching and growing like a shadow cast against the wall.
His smile was the same. The way he pouted, and slept in, the way he kissed. His terrible jokes. Lan Wangji would get used to a new face too if the husband was still the same.
-
Or, the one where Wei Wuxian's face begins to change to look like his original body. It isn't easy on anyone. But it isn't so bad, either.

He bows to Wei Wuxian, sword in hand, sleeves falling properly. Wei Wuxian bows in return, and the sect leaders begin the opening courtesies, and for all of ten minutes Lan Wangji is under the impression that he is betrothed to a boy who is perfectly normal and acceptable apart from an unfortunate tendency to fidget with his clothes.
That impression does not last.

“Yes, Clan Leader Jiang. It is most regrettable, but the Yiling Patriarch has once again kidnapped His Excellency. However, we have every confidence in His Excellency’s safe eventual return.”
“Of course you do,” Jiang Cheng says bitterly. “You get a more agreeable Chief Cultivator, and everyone is happy, right? You are all so happy the Yiling Patriarch kidnaps the Chief Cultivator on a regular basis. How can you not delight in the fact that Wei Wuxian has no shame and is revered for it? Aren’t you all thrilled, thrilled, that Lan Wangji is such good friends with Wei Wuxian that they spend so many friendly nights together and His Excellency returns like a lovesick fool afterwards and is so conveniently more agreeable?”
“…”
“I hate you all,” Jiang Cheng declares and stomps off.

“I once heard a rumour that this is how Lan An and his cultivation partner did it,” Ma Qiao piped up. “Which, I mean, if anyone could…”
“The Lans are far too boring and repressed for something like this,” Wei Wuxian said, with the authority of one who had been resoundingly ignored by a Lan for the past month. “Can you imagine Lan Wangji dual cultivating?”
Everyone knows that dual cultivation is a myth that only works in porn. Wei Wuxian discovers differently.

“Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”

"I do not wish to leave my future spouse… dissatisfied with my intimate knowledge,” Lan Zhan says, very seriously. “I am hoping to find an instructor, to better prepare myself for such matters."
Wei Ying feels his mouth drop open. He's pretty sure the Second Jade of Lan just told him he's a virgin who wants to learn how to do sex good.

Rogue Cultivator Wei Wuxian is the stuff of local legends. Some of those legends are even true! The ones about his tremendous experience in bed, on the other hand, are not so true. Which becomes a problem when Lan Wangji, on the verge of an arranged marriage and worried he won’t know how to please his future spouse, enlists Wei Ying's help to teach him the art of love-making. Wei Ying's great at improvisation, though, and is pretty sure he's got this sex mentor thing under control. What could possibly go wrong?

Wei Wuxian thought that only happened to maidens seconds from being ravished and forced to present in those lascivious novels Nie Huaisang’s been passing around. Or maybe he’s unfamiliar because he’s not a buxom maiden?
“Wei Ying is sure he will put them on their back.”

"Wei-gongzi? Wake up! Why won't he wake up? Wei Wuxian!"
Wei Wuxian's consciousness comes back as a slow rushing of sound. Voices, movement, something that sounds like fire crackling. It flickers behind his eyelids, so chances are, it's probably a fire. Then a shadow falls over him and he groans as he attempts to peel his eyes open. It's not an easy business—they somehow feel both dry and sticky at the same time, and when he manages to open them the tiniest bit, even the dim light around him feels like blinding sunlight. There's pressure in his chest, but at least his breathing is fine.
He has no idea what happened.

To his unbridled horror, Wei Wuxian sees his face up on the giant screen in real time for the entire stadium to see. Still laughing as his face takes a moment to catch up with the sheer mortification he’s feeling, A-Yuan perched on his shoulders as the Lan Wangji cape drapes over them.
There’s also commentary.
“—scenes from the stands here, this dad and his son making for an adorable twosome all decked out in support for local hero Lan Wangji—”
“—Speaking of, our man seems to have taken a little tumble—”
Wei Wuxian finds Lan Wangji on the field. The ball is nowhere near him but he seems to have fallen inexplicably backwards, sitting on the grass as he looks up at the giant screen.
Right up at the footage of him.

Very, very familiar.
It’s a face that Xiao Zhan has seen daily for the last several months, although never in real life.
No, he’s used to seeing it through his kitchen window, twelve feet tall on the billboard that graces the side of the building down the block from his apartment.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
It’s Wang Yibo.

And Yibo feels the heat. In his own body, radiating with want, but coming off Xiao Zhan too. Hot and sweaty, his shirt damp over his shoulders, beneath Yibo’s hands. Yibo wants to be in bed together like this, running too hot, the passion they’ve been stoking all summer finally set alight. He wants everything.

Xiao Zhan opens the list of names again. What he hadn’t noticed before was that next to each celebrity’s name is the athlete and the sport that they’ll be paired with. Most of the names don’t ring any bells for Xiao Zhan, save for the few who did well four years ago. When he gets to his own name, Xiao Zhan pauses, tracing down the rows to find the poor soul tasked with teaching him how to coordinate his body.

But now, he meets Wang Yibo—a headstrong guy, six years his junior. He is stubborn, a bit childish and carries an air of risk everywhere he goes. He is everything Xiao Zhan isn’t asking for, and yet he finds himself drawn to him.
Will he be able to let go of the past and take a chance on whatever is budding between them?

But when their eyes met, he realized that his fellow actor was serious. "What about me, ge? If I volunteer myself to fake-date you right now, would you say yes? Would it still be absurd?"
Wow, Xiao Zhan thought. I really am so hammered right now, god. He was startled but at least he managed a "Yes," and Yibo obviously perked up but before he could even say more, Xiao Zhan continued: "That'd be absolutely, fucking absurd."

Yibo raises his eyebrows and Xiao Zhan feels his ears turn hot. “Why not a ship of your own?” Yibo asks.
Xiao Zhan snorts. “I didn’t cash in that much.”
“You might be surprised,” Yibo says, and Xiao Zhan deflates a little.
“And you were doing so good at not being a salesman,” he says resignedly, and Yibo grins.

Two things happen simultaneously when their hands touch: first, the migraine that Xiao Zhan's been fighting all day dissipates so immediately that a loud gasp slips out of his mouth. Second, a torrential outpouring of warmth shoots up Xiao Zhan's arm so quickly that he almost loses his balance and falls off the bench. The next moment, Xiao Zhan drops Yibo's hand. He tries to convert the abrupt movement into something more graceful, but he doesn't think he succeeds.
Yibo's eyes have gone wide. His neck bobs as he swallows. What the hell, Xiao Zhan thinks faintly, astonishment thick in his throat. He just manages to keep himself from passing out as the migraine lances through his head again with a vengeance.

He had seen the pictures many times, it was hard not to given how many of them there were. In almost all of them, there was Yibo staring at him with that sort of adorably earnest expression of his.
"These are the worst!" she said now, turning the phone screen in his direction, although he now noticed that she was fanning herself. He could imagine what this picture was before he even looked at it. And yes, there it was. Yibo could sometimes look at you like he wanted to devour you whole. Xiao Zhan didn't know how Yibo didn’t realize it.
"Those are for photoshoots." He said out loud now, more for his benefit than for Lisa's. Even with all his stares of adoration and all the crazy hitting and teasing that Yibo did like a teenager with a crush, Xiao Zhan was still not convinced that Yibo felt any of the crazy feelings that he himself felt.
For Xiao Zhan, Yibo always managed to give both too much and too little all at the same time.

Harry threw himself to a halt and yelled, “Merlin, how many times do I have to save your life?”
[SEQUEL]: Scenes from a Life

♥Tea and No Sympathy :: who_la_hoop :: NC17
It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?

The Third :: samayel :: NC17
The war is over, and Draco finds himself drawn to Harry, even though he hates himself for what he's become. Something has to change, or break, and soon, and Draco's pride touches off more than he could have expected.

Timeshare :: astolat :: R
“It’s not for long,” Hermione said. “By the time we get back to Hogwarts, the Unfettering Brew will be ready.”

“Listen to you!” Ron said. “He’s got to get through a month with the Dursleys and a month at Malfoy Manor. With Draco Malfoy.”

“Yeah, thanks,” Harry said, because he hadn’t just spent the last week contemplating just how much more horrible his summer holidays were about to be than they’d ever been before.

♥ Two Weeks :: shiftylinguini :: NC17
If Harry had to guess which out of he or his Auror Partner, and tentative new friend, Draco Malfoy, would turn out to have Veela ancestry, his answer would be: neither, because that is ridiculous. Finding out the answer is actually him, and that his Veela heritage is wreaking havoc on his ability to work, sleep, and above all be in the same room as Malfoy, is a surprise to say the least. But this is fine. Harry’s been through worse, and he can just sit this one out, regardless of how much his body is screaming for the one person he doesn’t want to ask for help. Can’t he?

Twice as Much as an Earthquake :: firethesound :: NC17
Accidental bonding. Breaking and entering. Conspiring, however unwillingly, in the strange one-man war Malfoy's waging against detention. This isn't the normal school year Harry anticipated having, but at least it's not boring.

♥ What We Pretend We Can't See :: gyzym :: R
Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

Yours is the Earth (Hold On, Hold On) :: chickenlivesinpumpkin :: NC17
When they first meet after the end of the war, Draco doesn't want anything to do with Harry. But as time goes by, Draco's growing love may be the only thing that can save them both, because after a serious accident in the Forbidden Forest, Draco's personality begins to undergo subtle changes. At first, Harry credits this to a new enthusiasm for life. But as the days pass and Draco's behavior becomes more and more mysterious, Harry begins to suspect that something bigger--and darker--is at work.

♥ Oath Breaker :: kc_anathema :: R
Draco-centric. Takes place...oh, sometime after OotP. Seventh year, most like. [Excellent and unique story mainly based from Draco's side of things. Devels into Dark Magic and probably the most canon-like depiction of Draco with a small side of AU. A massively underrated story and a must-read ♥]

It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?

Vertigo :: jennavere :: R :: WiP ABANDONED.
When a mission for the Dark Lord goes completely wrong, Draco Malfoy ends up in the very last place he expected. Post HBP.

Very Midsummer Madness :: pushdragon :: PG13
I thought stealing the plot of Twelfth Night would be a good excuse for twin Harrys, shipwrecks, boys disguised as girls, Draco carrying a riding whip and Ginny flouncing around as a duchess. It was. Shakespeare's themes of the paramountcy of love and the shortness of time are still there under all the fluff and Draco does look good in doublet and breeches. Warnings: Snape wearing his yellow stockings cross-gartered and under-use of the word "buttock". Lashing of slash.

Walking the Line :: silentauror :: NC17
Sixth year is over and Draco Malfoy is on the run. The war is on and an unwanted assignment is forced upon him by the only people he trusts - and a one-time arch-enemy just may be out to kill him.

Windfallen :: starflowers :: R
A new Unforgivable is spreading like wildfire and only Harry Potter is immune to its power, and only he can soothe its effects. When Draco is hit by the curse and left for dead by his own side, a misguided sense of duty compels Harry to care for him, and in doing so, he learns more than he ever thought possible about nightmares, hatred, love, and above all, the true nature of forgiveness. Harry/Draco, semi-consensual Charlie/Harry, Ginny/Lucius, and Ron/Ginny. Post-Hogwarts, post OotP, and very dark.

Written on the Heart :: who_la_hoop :: R
Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?
