Summary
It was almost a week later that Lan Zhan looked up to see a headline splashed across the paper Lan Huan was reading at the breakfast table declaring the mysterious death of one Mao Tian, a resident on the eighth floor of the high-rise where Lan Zhan had met Wei Ying. The accompanying picture was of the rude elevator-man. The murder happened the same day Lan Zhan had been there, maybe while he was in the building.
It was over a year later that Lan Zhan learned Wei Ying’s true purpose in the building that day and that he had deliberately detoured from his mission of murdering—assassinating—a corrupt accountant who had been laundering millions of tax payer dollars and funneling them into the offshore accounts of a major crime and drug syndicate. Lan Zhan was flattered in a guilty, stomach-twisting kind of way that Wei Ying had been so enthralled with him from that first moment to allow himself to be so distracted.
The knowledge didn’t make the fact that Wei Ying was now dead any easier to live with.
For nearly ten years, Lan Wangji believed his lover and the father of his child was dead.
Then, the impossible happened.

Summary
Wei Ying had made the outrageous claim that he'd birthed Yuan himself, but Lan Wangji had believed it a joke—knew it was a joke after the initial shock had worn off and he'd applied some logic to the statement. It was also true that Wei Ying had an odd affinity for the fancy of Lan Wangji somehow impregnating him if he, in Wei Ying's words, "fucked him hard enough".
Lan Wangji's gaze drifted down to the cushion and saw how Wei Ying was holding it tightly now against his midsection. His eyes flicked briefly to the mirror again and then back to Wei Ying.
'You were pretending a…pregnancy.'
Or, Lan Wangji comes home to the Jingshi to find Wei Wuxian with a cushion stuffed under his robes. Angst, feels, and porn ensue.

Summary
'Jiushi…stay.'
The butterflies in Ling Jiushi’s stomach went wild for a moment, and Ling Juishi had to swallow a gasp of surprise. He didn’t delude himself that Ruan Lanzhu was awake or conscious of his words, but they warmed Ling Jiushi to his core nonetheless, stoking that small burning flame that had ignited with Ruan Lanzhu’s whispered declaration inside the door,
There is a light in you.
Scene extra after Ruan Lanzhu comes back injured from the 10th door the first time.

Impossibility Brought to Life by farawayanddreaming, InTheGreySpaces
Fandom 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
15 Sep 2024
Summary
A little harmless role-play for stress relief leads to an impossible fantasy becoming reality and a dream come true that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian could never have anticipated.
A ton of angst, enough fluff to make your teeth rot, and more emotional hurt/comfort than the Atlantic Ocean can hold. You'll find it all here in this multi-story adventure that spans cannon and AU post-cannon CQL, all based on The Untamed tv series with a smattering of details we couldn't pass up from the books.
