    Summary

    Wei Ying expected many things when he pictured his reunion with Jiang Cheng after being brought back to life. The last thing he expected, however, was for his brother to look at him with tearful eyes and immediately envelop him in a crushing hug. And yet, here he was, 13 years after his death, with Jiang Cheng’s tears soaking into his shoulder.

    “I’m sorry,”

    ——

    After the siege of the Burial Mounds, Jiang Cheng stumbles across Wei Ying’s diaries. Forced to relive the past through his brother’s eyes, Jiang Cheng comes to the realisation that not everything was as it seemed.

    ——

    Jiang Cheng snapped the book closed. He gripped the spine until his knuckles whitened. He stared back at the bookshelf that was filled end to end. He had to wonder if every single one of those contained similar talismans. He had to wonder if he was staring at the last years of his brother’s life all contained as snapshots within those very books. The thought was dizzying.

    There was too much horror trapped within the pages of those diaries for Jiang Cheng to comprehend.

    Summary

    Five years after Wei Wuxian’s death, some people woke in the Cloud Recesses—young again, back at the lectures.

    One came to stay. One came to change the end. And a third was already waiting.

    None of them spoke of the past. But it was already unraveling.

    Summary

    When his brother's sudden death in the waning hours of the Sunshot Campaign leaves Lan Wangji sect leader, he has to adapt rapidly to his new role. Getting through the war itself was the easy part, however; for Lan Wangji, navigating the world of politics is far harder. When, at the flower banquet, Wei Wuxian approaches him and offers advice, Lan Wangji sets aside their old argument over his cultivation, and the two of them are finally able to grow closer.

    Lan Wangji starts to wonder if Wei Wuxian ever was in jest with his 'flirtations' as a boy, and hopes that he can now approach the man he loves more openly, since he is sect leader and no one can now gainsay his choice of cultivation partner. But the very thing which permits him to court Wei Wuxian also holds him back: after all, can even the seemingly irrepressible Wei Wuxian really refuse a sect leader?

    Though he is determined to resist temptation and court Wei Wuxian slowly and subtly, Lan Wangji feels doubt as time goes on. Something is very wrong at Lotus Pier, and it isn't only Lan Wangji who begins to feel that perhaps the safest option is to tempt Wei Wuxian away from Yunmeng Jiang as quickly as possible.

    Summary

    When Shang Qinghua corrected someone about the nature of Shen Qingqiu's brothel visits during a peak meeting, he realized all at once that something was very wrong. He knew things he couldn't remember learning, things he couldn't have possibly figured out, and he'd known it all as long as he could remember. Why has he only realized something was wrong now? Did he know more before? Why didn't he tell anyone?
    Why did he know more about Shen Qingqiu specifically than anyone else?
    He had become a mystery that needed to be solved, and there was no way Shen Qingqiu was going to stay out of it after finding out someone knew all his darkest secrets and more.

    this is a collection of tumblr posts edited down into a fic. so basically a bunch of disjointed scenes that get more detailed as it goes and I become more and more lost in that sweet scumplane sauce. expect mediocore grammar and overuse of character names if you choose to continue
