    Summary

    It’s 2 PM on a Tuesday and Jin Zixuan is curled up in the corner of a dingy basement laundry room, tears in his eyes as he struggles to understand why the universe—and this washing machine in particular—hates him.

    And then the door squeaks open, and Zixuan’s only reaction is to stuff his face into his stupid quarter-zip like a cashmere fleece turtle.
    “Is someone in here, or is the laundry room haunted again?” A man’s voice calls, and it’s almost jarring how friendly it is.

    “Again?” Zixuan hiccups.

    Footsteps on the tile, and then there’s a man frowning down at him with open concern. “Aw, bud. Are you crying? Me too sometimes.” And he pops a squat, right there in front of the sad turtle man, and Zixuan gets a close up of the riot of tattoos on his arms and peeking through the gaping rips in his jeans. “I’m Wei Ying.”

     

    -

    In which Jin Zixuan gets cut off and is quickly adopted by a pair of heavily-tattooed magpies who teach him how to do things like do laundry, ride the bus, and take control of his own stupid life.

    An ode to friendship and emotional support dipshits.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian, a former actor with a secret, heads to a small New England town to help the Wens save their family business. He intends to spend the month of December running a coffee shop and recovering from his recent breakup in blissful anonymity.

    But things change when he meets a precocious five year old.

    Lan Wangji is a single father who is beginning to despair of ever finding the romance he writes about in his best selling novels. He moved to Mapleton so he could raise his son in peace, in a small sleepy town where nothing happens.

    Imagine his surprise when he walks in the local coffee shop to see a very familiar face behind the counter.

    Summary

    "I love you," he said fiercely, and then before Wei Wuxian knew what was happening, he was being kissed like he'd never been kissed before in his life. All of Lan Zhan's fear, anger, love, and longing were poured into that kiss; right there in that alley that stank of refuse, for anyone who might walk by to see. They were beyond caring though, and when they broke apart, they were both flushed and breathless. "I love you," he said again.

    -

    Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have been living together for a few months. Everything is perfect, and Wei Wuxian doubts that he could ever be happier than he is now. But there are things from his past that he hasn't told Lan Wangji, and they might just come back to haunt him.

    “No,” he said.
