Summary:
Look, sometimes you meet a guy in college and become best friends. Sometimes the two of you spend a day babysitting objectively the best baby on earth, and that baby needs parents. Sometimes you get married to the guy (platonically!) and spend thirteen years raising the best baby on earth into the best teenager on earth. Also you share a bed. Also you're in love with him.
Wei Ying is pretty sure all that is normal. Lan Zhan agrees. Sizhui is... dubious.

the universe moved for us

Rating: G
Genre: Modern AU, Blind Date AU, Side Wangxian
Summary:
“You set me up with a serial killer!” Nie Mingjue hisses as soon as he hears it pick up. His grip on the phone is so tight that it creaks. "You set me up with someone who yells at the valet and does not tip the waiter. If I get murdered and dismembered tonight - and I could, A-sang, do you hear me? I could, because their family is probably not above murdering and dismembering and his father is still baying for my blood - I will come back as a fierce ghost and spend the rest of my miserable afterlife haunting you!”
The silence after his tirade lasts long enough that Nie Mingjue rips the phone away from his ear to frown at it. Was his brother ignoring him?
“HUIASA - ”
“Hello?” a voice says over the phone, and it is most assuredly not his brother’s.
