Summary: Wei Ying goes through sub drop; Lan Wangji takes care of him.
Kay's comments: Ah, a soft little pre-relationship story where Lan Zhan starts taking care of Wei Ying after his hookups once he learns that Wei Ying's actual dom is not providing aftercare. The tender caretaking and all-encompassing love that shine through in Lan Zhan's POV were what really did it for me here.
Excerpt: Lan Zhan hums, not taking the bait, as the pegs slot into place. Wei Ying’s quiet days. The bruises on his body he would not talk about. The way he would make himself small, then pretend everything was normal the day after. Wei Ying likes to be - tied up. Treated roughly. Told what to do. “You are submissive,” Lan Zhan says, piecing it together. “You enjoy bondage and-” he pauses to consider the concealer Wei Ying keeps in their shared bathroom, the bruise across his cheek that magically disappeared. “Impact play?” The way Wei Ying flushes and ducks his head is as good as an answer. “And your-” he stutters on the next word, “Your dom. Are they providing adequate aftercare?” Wei Ying peers up at him. Lan Zhan’s hand is still on his neck. “What?”
