fic where wei ying writes TRULY florid fic full of "gold orbs met gray, like a sunburst in the middle of a storm" type descriptions and where he calls dicks Hard Pillars of Delight. nie huaisang, his beta, encourages such things vociferously.
one day, wei ying sends his work partner lan zhan a document for revision for a project they're on together. takes him ten full minutes (well beyond the 'unsend email' feature to apply) to realize he attached... his latest wip draft, not the work document
HAHA LAN ZHAN DO NOT OPEN THAT IT IS THE WRONG FILE!!! HERE IS THE RIGHT ATTACHMENT!!! he sends, desperately, as soon as he notices. he also texts lan zhan: hey sent the wrong file at first, no need to even open that email!!! see u in tmrw's zoom meeting?
four hours later, he receives an email from lan zhan. "i do not know if your description of shi qingxuan and ming yi's time amongst the wine casks is physically possible even with magical gender-shifting," lan zhan has written. "i have left some comments on flow and structure."
(wei ying: big fan of writing beefleaf fix-its fics) the document is FULL of red ink, just like all the work documents they exchange. lan zhan has provided many, many suggestions for pumping up the sex, and tightening the writing. he's added 'only if this is consistent with your
vision, of course' comments left and right.

wei ying can NOT meet his eyes ONCE during the next morning's meeting. meanwhile, lan zhan is wondering, hornily, how much of the scene with wind master fan-manipulated breathplay is reflective of wei ying's actual sexual interests
wei ying found out about fanfic from instagram four or five years ago, & then wattpad, before migrating to ao3. he's shocked that lan zhan doesn't seem more shocked about the entire like... existence of fanfic? (lan zhan: was present for the bitterest livejournal shipwars in 06)
