Summary
She turned north.
The moon was rising before she realized where she was going. A vision, from long ago. Pink robes fluttering before her. Gold and purple on her periphery but falling quickly behind, not quite able to keep up. The four of their giggles blending into one another’s, though Luo Qingyang could always pick out the cadence, the pitch coming from the girl that ran ahead. That same sweet floral scent carried back by the wind.
Luo Qingyang followed the voice now. Towards the one person who might understand, who would know, but had not engaged in, the horrors of politics.
She went north. And hoped Qin Su had not forgotten her.

After leaving everything she's ever known, Mianmian wanders. But she doesn't do so alone.

Summary
By the time he knew (was belatedly informed of) what had happened, it was, as always, too late.
Too late to follow them. Too late to see what happened. Too late. Too bloody late to have anything to do. To help in any way.

A short character study, filling in the moments while Chengling waited for the snow to melt.

Summary
I have been killed. I need you to know that.
I need you to know that it may look like I did this by choice. But it wasn’t. My mind has never been more my own, but my body will soon not be…Mo Xuanyu arrives at Jinlintai at the age of 13, prepared to work hard, but unprepared for the dangers and shadows that lurk around every corner of Jinlintai and the cultivation world even, maybe especially, in peace times.
But as suspicions rise and stakes grow higher, Mo Xuanyu is forced to question the relationships he's built. Who can be trusted? Who means well? And where, exactly, are the voices of spirits in his head trying to lead him?
16 years is a long time

Summary
As it happened, when Meng Yao stumbled away from Jinlintai – battered, bruised, rejected – he came first not upon a Qinghe-bound cart driver, but a fisherman, on his way back to Caiyi Town.
Or: home, family, and what could have been.

Summary
"Qin Huaizhang's disciple, I'll ask you a question first. How willing are you to let that insolent shidi of yours trade his life for yours?" Coldness suffused his veins. If that was what Lao Wen chose to do, Zhou Zishu would follow him onto the Yellow Spring Road and drag him back into this world, kicking and screaming, and murder him himself. They lived together, or not at all.
Ye Baiyi's lips curled into a sneer. "As I thought. I say, what's the point of going to all the trouble when you're just going to off yourself?"
"I didn't say anything - "
"It's written all over your dainty face."
Zhou Zishu blinked, unsure what part of that sentence he should be taking offense at, if at all.
"How willing are you to suffer the pain of death, no, pain worse than death, pain that would leave you wishing you were dead - "
"That I can do." Zhou Zishu interjected.Or, a different road taken but all roads lead to home; in which Zhou Zishu's self-inflicted accelerated hurtle toward death is discovered early on, and it turns out that Fate is capable of dealing a much kinder hand toward two men with irrevocably bloodied hands and what constitutes their found family.

Summary
"Xichen has loved his brother so much he thinks his heart might bear him ill will at this point. He will always ache when he is gone, like one of his arms is missing. He will try to soothe his brother’s troubled heart for a thousand years, if loving this boy is what will bring Wangji the most happiness, but it pricks at him like a doctor’s needles to see his brother’s open devotion treated like nothing by its very object."

Bookmarker's Notes
I’m weak for hualian and for hurt/comfort (and, let’s be honest, just a bit of whump is p good too) and this series is PERFECT for that 💜

Summary
Wei Wuxian opens the letter and skims through, feeling his frown deepen with every line. “Oh. A request from Yiling. This man Tong Shen writes, 'I can’t explain what’s happening — you wouldn’t believe me if I tried. The hills are moving and they are hungry. Please send aid, Hanguang-jun, this humble one begs you.' Well, my curiosity is certainly piqued."
—
A few months after the events of Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a night hunt of an unusual sort: The Burial Mounds are spreading, quickly and with no apparent explanation.
In Wei Wuxian, it brings old, long-buried things bubbling to the surface.
