Summary: Lan Wangji had been comatose for a week when his uncle and brother discovered the glowing blue thread around his wrist. When Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren discover that Lan Wangji's mating bond to Wei Wuxian's lingering spirit is keeping him comatose, they turn to an alternate solution to break the bond and save Lan Wangji's life: marrying Wei Wuxian's ghost off to someone else with Jin Guangyao's help. Kay's comments: I am so weak for ghost marriage stories and this one really has its hold on me and I was so excited to see that it's updating again! In which Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji bond before Wei Wuxian's death to ensure Wen Yuan's safety, but of course, Lan Wangji's family has something to say about that and with Jin Guangyao's help, they attempt to marry a dead Wei Wuxian off to the Ghost General himself. Very cool idea and I am excited to see how it plays out! The Untamed canon. Excerpt: “Wei-gongzi,” Jin Guangyao greeted, face half-hidden in shadow. Wei Wuxian let his lips curl into a mirthless smile. “Lianfang-zun, you look well. Was it you who summoned me?” “Not exactly.” Jin Guangyao’s brow lifted slightly, his eyes widening in practiced surprise. “Have you not checked your wrist yet? I thought that would be the first thing on your mind.” “My wrist?” Wei Wuxian echoed, keeping his voice low to hide his alarm. “I suppose you haven’t.” Jin Guangyao let out a small, disappointed sigh. “Ah, well. I found it fitting. A ghost for a ghost. Some would say it’s karmic justice.”

Dog #1012 is a distinguished gentleman and a hilarious mix. This is the kind of dog you would give to guess the breed groups to watch them get upset:

He’s from a backcross project, so #1012 is a  (Breed1 x Breed2) X Breed1. 

He had a brief love affair with his sister to make for six fuck ugly children with hearts of gold:

How did such a wide variety of children come out of such a distinguished gentleman? Well, this is his (cute!) sister:

here is the brother to his father:

Where is #1012 long legs and dark colouration coming from?

Here is what his father came from:

and here is #1012′s mother:

“I have a new job for you.” Ra’s’ voice sounds notoriously smug through his comlink. “Not likely,” said Tim, “Haven’t you heard? Bruce is out of the country on WE business—” Ra’s continues over him, “It's got nothing to do with Bruce Wayne. I’m hiring out your services to a business partner. He wants reports on the Red Hood’s nightly activities around Gotham.” Tim paused to catch his breath. “Who does?” His mouth was dry. “Why, Black Mask, of course. I told him you’d be just the person to get it for him. After all, you’re one of the few people he trusts.”

Or a Collisions in the Dark AU, where instead of rescuing Tim from her father, Talia chooses to save Jason’s life, leaving Tim at the mercy, and wrath, of Ra’s al Ghul. Tim eventually wins his freedom, but the price he pays for it? Serving as a double agent for Ra’s, who wants to give Bruce a taste of his own medicine.

“I have a new job for you.” Ra’s’ voice sounded notoriously smug through his comlink. Tim paused to catch his breath on the next rooftop.

“Not likely,” said Tim, “Haven’t you heard? Bruce is out of the country on WE business—”

Ra’s continued over him, “It's has nothing to do with Bruce Wayne.”

No doubt Ra’s had picked up on the loud rattling of his breath through the comlink and Tim just hoped that he thought it was from physical exertion instead of a sudden unquenchable bought of panic that left him feeling ever-so lightheaded and unsteady.

He made a quick scan into the distance. Despite the fact that he was patrolling alone, he couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching him… listening in. Though that someone he thought he was sensing was most likely Ra’s himself. He attempted to shake off the nerves, choosing instead to focus on taking one deep breath after another as he continued with his patrol because he’d be damned if working for Ra’s was going to stop him from doing his real job as Red Robin.

Ra’s continued on, delivering his next assignment —  one that could prove to be the death sentence of his vigilante career if he was found out… but what was new about that? “I’m hiring out your services to a business partner. He wants you to report to him on the Red Hood’s nightly activities around Gotham.”

Tim’s mouth was dry. He let the car he’d been tailing make a sharp left and slip away into the rush of cars heading onto the Aparo expressway. “Who does?”

“Why, Black Mask, of course. I told him you’d be just the person to get it for him. After all, you’re one of the few people Jason trusts.”

Summary: Years after he was disowned by the Jiangs, Wei Ying lives a quiet life working at a funeral home. Then he reencounters his former high school classmate Lan Zhan, who is planning his father’s cremation. Wei Ying won’t pass up the chance to get closer to his former crush, but first he has to hide all the brains in his freezer.

Kay's comments: So, this story is based on iZombie, which I haven't seen personally, but the important thing to note about this story is it contains casual cannibalism, because Wei Ying, amongst others, has the abbility to get a dead persons' abbilities, if he snacks on their brains. So! Super interesting premise, very unfortunate for him when he gets charged with a corpse desecration felony and gets kicked out by the Jiangs after helping out the Wen siblings. Ten years later, him and the Wen siblings are working in a funeral home and one day, Lan Zhan, his high school crush, walks in and wants his father's body cremated. Lots of family drama, found family, Wangxian being cute together and Wen Ning being the best bean! I really enjoyed this one!

Excerpt: Then he saw the newcomer and his thought process derailed completely. It was Lan Zhan. Wei Ying had known he lived in the city of course. That was the sort of knowledge of his high school crush that he couldn’t help but seek out. Did that factor into Wei Ying’s decision to move to Milwaukee when he needed a fresh start? Maybe. Who cared if it was kind of pathetic–no one else had to know. Lan Xichen had taken over running the family owned biotech company, whereas Lan Zhan had gotten a PHD in biomedical engineering, and worked as a researcher at that same company. Wei Ying was sure he was good at it. Wei Ying hoped it made him happy. And none of this information told him what to say to the man he saw in front of him. “Lan Zhan,” he said, with real affection. “It’s been so long.” Then he remembered where he worked, and shame colored his face. “Oh god, sorry. I’m sorry for your loss–or if you’re planning ahead…” he trailed off, “I was just surprised to see you.”
