On the eve of Jiang Yanli’s wedding, both she and Lan Wangji are hit by a memory loss curse.

As a Matter of Consequence by majiloveprincess

Lan Wangji learned that for every choice, there would be consequences.

So, a week before the coronation, when Lan Xichen comes to him with tears in his eyes and worn letters in his hands, Lan Wangji already knows that there will be consequences.

For his brother, Lan Wangji will bear them, no matter what.

…

A month after his brother’s abdication and departure for Qinghe, Lan Wangji’s wedding and coronation are announced.

Wei Wuxian is not the bride he expects.

Jiang Cheng’s life is finally getting better after years of tragedy. But the brother who disappeared nearly a decade ago finally reaches out. Should he bother to reply?

Oh What a Tangled Web by @ereshai

Lan Zhan has a little problem, and pretending to date Wei Ying will solve it, at least for a little while. It shouldn’t matter that he wants to date Wei Ying for real, right?

“A whole three days had passed since Su Minshan dragged Jin Guangyao up from the ground with the last of his remaining strength and carried him to the watchtower close by, the previously arranged meeting point where a small number of Jin servants had been stationed ahead of time to wait for them. There had been no time to spare on anything but the most urgent medical care for Jin Guangyao’s wounds, stabilizing his vital system and to change into fresh, inconspicuous robes, before they set off towards the southeast in a simple, bannerless carriage. Su Minshan had almost not believed that they had really made it when the port came into view, characteristic noises of the water splashing against ships, shouted commands and stomping of ox hooves mulled by the thick, early morning fog.”

Su Minshan and Jin Guangyao only just made it onto the ship to Dongying. The following days Su Minshan tends to Jin Guangyao’s injuries. And there is only one bed.

In a time of blood and hopelessness, two women find something in each other that they didn’t even know was possible.
Or, alternatively: Apparently, Jiang Yanli turns into an octopus when she sleeps, and that makes all the difference.
