He seems to be searching for something else to say. "I believe it is oversubscribed," he says finally. "As it should be," says Wei Ying, and does not tell him that he has all of Lan Zhan's albums downloaded onto his phone, listened to over and over when he's on a train, a plane, waiting for a taxi, has followed his career since he overheard half a Mendelssohn when they were fifteen. ]]> #the-untamed-mdzs *lan-wangji/wei-wuxian first-time au au:modern au:no-powers oblivious/pining rating:nc-17 web:ao3 word:10-30k writer:nyargles au:music .dled https://pinboard.in/u:christycorr/b:3605efc52972/ 2020-05-01T01:23:00+00:00 https://archiveofourown.org/works/23910592 christycorr Wei Wuxian plays the flute.
