    Meng Yao arrives at the Cloud Recesses as Nie-gongzi's attendant. Zewu-Jun allows him to stay for the lectures. There's something about this place, and the man who rules it, that triggers an irrevocable change in him.

    And so, Meng Yao sees two paths unfold before him: one that leads him towards power, and one that leads him somewhere completely different.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City while on an impromptu trip his friends forced him to join at gunpoint (not really, but Wei Wuxian's threats to expose all of Jiang Cheng's old Facebook photos might as well be the same damn thing).

    He just doesn't expect something – or someone, for that matter – to follow him home.

    Summary

    “Hm,” Lan Wangji hums, not like the curt sound he makes when he wants to avoid a conversation. It’s more stubborn and very, very sarcastic.

    Lan Wangji is the worst. Somehow, Jiang Cheng doesn’t think it’s a bad thing.

    Summary

    “Then, I believe I’ll take you up on your offer,” he agrees. “As for today, what did you have planned?”

    Jin Guangyao smiles and inclines his head slightly towards Jin Ling, feeling oddly mirthful. “I am at the mercy of the Young Master’s whims.”

    (A day of babysitting his nephew alongside Lan Xichen forces Jin Guangyao to face what he truly wants, and the idea that maybe he can actually have it.)
