    Summary

    “So,” Lan Xichen said after a while. “We’ve been sharing dreams.”

    “It certainly appears that way,” Nie Mingjue agreed.

    “How do we make it stop?” Jin Guangyao wanted to know.

    Summary

    The story he has been told his whole life is this: as an infant, he was captured by Delugionists who aimed to raise him into a monster. The Psychonauts discovered the plot and rescued him before the Delugionists could hide him away, but they could never find his family, so the agent who saved him gave him one with herself. His family grew from there, and soon the Motherlobe was not just a headquarters, but a home to a very gifted boy. The only catch is that he cannot leave, for if the Delugionists knew he had left the one place they cannot reach him, he would be in grave danger.

    He has stayed for ten years, living as normal of a life as he can. Uncovering the truth was mostly an accident, but now that he knows, he cannot rest until he sets the record straight. To do so means finding the family with whom it all began, and if he cannot trust the people who raised him on lies to show him the way, then he will have to find it without them.

    Running away to the circus will be more difficult than he imagined. The journey reveals new abilities, unfinished business, and who the boy with the soul of an ocean might have become if not Razputin Aquato.

    Inspired by the Raising Razputin AU by @kingdom-of-unity on Tumblr.

    Summary

    From his job in the Armitage L train station booth, Wei Ying has watched The Most Beautiful Man In The World ride the train at 8 am and 4:30 pm for years, always in perfect suits, always with perfect hair, always with a perfect smile.

    He's going to marry that guy someday. So what if he doesn't know his name. Names have nothing to do with true love.

    When he saves His Future Husband from being squished by a train, Wei Ying finds himself engulfed in a tsunami of Lans who think he really is going to marry Mr. Wonderful, Lan Xichen, their son/brother/uncle/nephew. Despite himself, Wei Ying likes belonging to them. Except for the lying. Except for the guilt. Except for the fact that he took one look at his pretend-fiancé's brother, Lan Zhan, and maybe, MAYBE fell stupidly, hopelessly in love.

    He can't tell them. He can't not tell them. How could this possibly get any worse??? (spoiler alert: it gets worse)
