    Summary

    Khun Vegas knows things before he has the words for them. He finds the correct words for what Pete is to him and then comes to understand that he can also have the words before he fully knows what he can do with them.

    Pete knows the temperature of the tea, the width of the curtain, the weight of a thing correctly named. He sees things that were not meant for his eyes, he sees things as they are, he sees the shape of Khun Vegas. He is very good at staying.

    Tuesday gives him the word. A different Tuesday almost takes it back. Wednesday gives it back instead.

    (fic title from Jeff Satur's "Why Don't You Stay," KinnPorsche: The Series OST)

    Summary

    He pulled Pete in for another kiss. Pete shoved him, hard, and Vegas fell back a few steps. He was breathing fast, his palms flat against the door. Vegas hadn’t seen him this scared in a long time.

    “What’s wrong?” Vegas asked.

    “I need you to shut me up,” Pete said. “I don’t care how. Use your belt, your shirt, I don’t care, just don’t let me talk.”

    -

    Vegas and Pete get dosed with a truth drug. No one ends up having a good time.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen pauses before he speaks. He often does. “A-Yao, will you…?”

    There are any number of things that Lan Xichen might be about to say. He might be about to say, “A-Yao, will you cook breakfast while I bathe in the river?” But then, there is a gravity to his tone, and a flush on his cheeks. So perhaps it will be, “A-Yao, will you do that thing with your tongue?” Or even more thrillingly, “A-Yao, will you teach me how to do that thing with your tongue?”

    Lan Xichen does not say any of these things. He says, “A-Yao, will you marry me? If we both survive the war, will you marry me?”

    .

    Lan Xichen proposes before the war. Somehow, through the property of transitivity, Wei Wuxian becomes Meng Yao’s problem to solve.
