    Summary

    "How old are you?" Lan Wangji said as he asked the question through chords.

    Wei Ying's stomach dropped to his toes. The feeling coursing through him was sickeningly familiar. In the Burial Mounds, he fought tooth and nail to keep the spirits out of his head. Whenever they'd get too close, his skin crawled, and it felt like he were a puppet being pulled along by strings. Now, a lighter, less malicious energy prodded him; it was gentle but not merciful. It reached its hand down his throat and stole words from his lips before he could think to stop it.

    "Eighteen!"

    Inquiry works on the nearly dead, so if LWJ played it during the Sunshot Campaign, I like to think WWX would have been compelled to answer

    Summary

    Someone has kidnapped Wei Ying. Someone dared to take him against his will and that is an insult Lan Wangji is not willing to tolerate.

    Meanwhile, somewhere quite a ways from the Cloud Recesses, a man wakes up on a cold, hard floor. His whole body aches and his mind is a muddled mess of incoherent flashes, colors, and sounds. He’s about to embark on a journey that will tear his mind to shreds unless he figures a way out. Now, if only he could remember who he is…

    Summary

    Podfic of Changes by outsideth3box

    He was shocked to discover that he had, over the years, developed a sort of unconscious assumption that any injuries would lay him up for a bit, maybe send him to PT for a while, but he'd be up and back at it again in no time, long as he wasn't dead.

    Summary

    What if Lan Xichen (and others) didn’t just take Jin Guangshan’s claims at the face value but demanded to play Inquiry to find out what really happened in the Wen prison camp? Well, this isn't quite that but close enough.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian sighs dramatically and straightens back up. “You can’t blame a man for trying, Lan Zhan. I bet you have people falling all over themselves for your number, huh?”

    Lan Wangji looks slightly uncomfortable at the prospect. “...No,” he repeats.

    “No?” asks Wei Wuxian incredulously. “Do you hang out with a lot of blind people or something?”

    “I have been told I do not have an engaging personality,” Lan Zhan says dryly. Wei Wuxian laughs.

    “Well, whoever said that was an idiot. I’m engaged.”

    ~

    So Wei Wuxian's bar is a little haunted, it happens to the best of us. The point is that he's got it totally under control, no need for anyone from the Lan sect to ever drop by. Lan Wangji did not get the memo.

    Summary

    A mysterious main character nicknamed Shadow by the cathedral staff and clergy, discovers many mysteries about the old place and is determined to uncover all of them. Even if it costs her her own life in the process.

    He wasn’t kidding. The energy I had expelled had taken my life force right with it and for what? He wasn’t harmed at all. Much like my life I had been so foolhardy! I dimly heard my would be rescuers clambering into the room then a sensation right up next to me as Robert’s voice sounded like it was underwater, “Cecelia, are you all right?”

    I felt like I could not catch my breath at all. The images of my friends were fuzzy as they turned and faced Red. “What did you do to her?” Arthur thundered.

    Summary

    They’ll believe a stranger, but not their own disciple. Wei Wuxian swallows that thought down. “Right. Okay. Okay. So you just… drug me and ask me questions? And I answer?”

    Lan Zhan’s doing that thing again. Looking unaccountably sad. But he nods. “Yes, Wei Ying. Is that what you want?”

    “If it will prove that this is incredibly fucked up and untrue? Yes, absolutely.”

    Summary

    Jingyi dies in a night hunt, but his spirit remains bound to the earth, at least for a little while, long enough for Sizhui to play Inquiry and try to say goodbye

     

    Jingyi realizes with fear and horror that he’s dead. Slowly, the darkness seems to fade, and he finds himself in the same clearing. The world seems faded, gray, and cold as if winter had struck. He watches as Sizhui falls to his knees beside his body, hands glowing with spiritual energy, and trying desperately to save him.

     

    It’s too late.

    Summary

    “Indulge me, Lan Zhan,” he says. He rises, crosses the room, and drapes himself closer, balanced on elbow and hip, back to the guqin on its low table, and punctuates with a single spin of Chenqing.

    Lan Wangji’s hands do not miss a note. “For Wei Ying, always.”

    Wei Wuxian purses his lips and worries Chenqing’s tassel, twisting it around his finger. He had not intended to stay for long, but a question had been tickling the back of his throat. “Shizhui told me something interesting the day after I got here.” He pauses and lets the silence sit between them for a moment. “He said that when he was younger he used to hear you playing Inquiry late at night, and that that’s why he asked you to teach him: because it was ‘the saddest and most beautiful thing he had ever heard.’” He spins Chenqing again, suddenly introspective. “I don’t think of Inquiry as beautiful, but then… I suppose that would depend on who’s doing the asking, what is being asked… who it is being asked to…”

    He does not need to look: he can feel the sudden and subtle electric tension. “Lan Zhan, were you—by chance—playing for me?”
