Summary
“Xichen,” says Mingjue slowly, in a tone that Xichen supposes he ought to find insulting, though he can’t quite manage. “Nobody else is going to want to be selected by a frog.”
This is insulting. It is also baffling.
“But he’s the prettiest frog,” says Xichen.
For some reason, the other birds won't help long-wattled umbrellabird Lan Xichen court a glass frog.

The blue parrotfish isn’t listening, because he’s chasing the plankton away from the sea pen again. Meng Yao drifts in place, exuding as much condescension as he possibly can.
Evidently he has failed at his, however, because when the parrotfish comes back, he asks, “Why are you just…floating there?”
“I am condescending to you,” says Meng Yao haughtily.
Parrotfish Wei Wuxian is trying to save a school of plankton. Meng Yao would like everyone to know that this is a futile endeavor, and also he is not a sea slug, thank you very much.

Six months later, they stumble into each other's lives again.

Summary
Wei Wuixan vs. Pokemon Sun: The Trying, Exasperating Sunday Morning Incident. (i.e, a telling of the scene mentioned in part 1 of the series when Sizhui's Gameboy is taken away by Lan Zhan)
Inside, he heard the giveaway sounds of a sad chime emanating. After sitting on it for a minute, working out if it was really worth going in and talking to his husband about whatever weird reasoning was behind his cryptic grip on their son’s new toy, he heard a similar sad melody coming from upstairs. “God sake,” He whispered at the rabbits.
Lan Wangji was draped over his guqin, drowning out the sounds of their son, presumably doing the same thing. Wei Wuxian put his hands on his hips. “I’m going to guess you’ve had a fight,” and Lan Zhan’s pout told him all he needed to know.

Here is a very small ficlet coda to The Simplest Way Forward, for Ariaste, who was having a tough day ❤️
The title is from Fall Out Boy because it got stuck in my head the second I started writing. Big thanks to mistresscurvy for doing a very fast read-through, she is the best. Now this note is almost as long as the fic. 😂

Summary
It took the longest time for Aziraphale to acknowledge he was nesting, and even longer for him to admit it was for Crowley. Admitting any of this out loud, however, was the most difficult of all.
