    Summary

    "And nothing made sense. What happened. His mother, he heard, telling him... Something? He didn't know what. He didn't even know what was happening! All he knew was it was dark and scary and everything hurt and he just wanted it to stop."

     

    He passed out.

     

    This is me making Telemachus (partially) blind. This is also me making everybody even more traumatized for the sake of angst.

    Summary

    “Duck.” The single crimson eye that peeked from behind Wei Wuxian’s hand stared behind him.

    Duck? What did a semi-aquatic avian have to do with this? A new insult? But he was the Peacock? Jin Zixuan stared, confused, at his brother-in-law for a half second before his body, well-trained by the sunshot campaign, hit the ground so hard he felt bits of rock digging into his chin.

    Just in time to dodge the outstretched hand that would have gone through where his heart had been.

    ‘Oh,’ Jin Zixuan blinked. ‘Duck!’

    Determined to never disappoint his wife, Jin Zixuan won't let something like an ambush or awkward flight to Jinlintai stop him from making sure Wei Wuxian gets to A-Ling's 100th day celebration.

    Summary

    A loud grunt meets Mo Ran’s ears.

    He rolls over to see what he just kicked and his heart drops as absolute terror fills his chest. Mo Ran flings himself backwards off the bed. Pulling the black and gold robe he’s wearing over himself, he pushes himself backwards across the floor until he hits the far wall.

    Laying in the bed directly next to where he woke up is the long, naked back of an unknown person. Bruises and still bleeding scratches scatter across their spine, barely showing through inky black hair pooling on the sheets where Mo Ran was laying not a moment before.

    In a world with no long hatred flower, Mo Ran dies trying to save his shizun. He then wakes up in bed with a strange man and a Sisheng Peak he doesn't recognize. Worse, the strange man is Chu Wanning, who hates him so much he won't even look at him. Mo Ran is scared and alone in a world so terrible that he couldn't have imagined it. Apparently, it's a world he's made.

    Summary

    Sure enough, the door creaks open as though Shi Mei is checking that Chu Wanning has actually gone to sleep as he promised. Without looking back at Shi Mei in the doorway, Chu Wanning says, “I told you to leave.”
    The footsteps crossing the room halt, but don’t leave. Irritation growing in his already painful chest. Chu Wanning spins around to scold Shi Mei for not listening to his shizun. The command to leave immediately dies in his throat before a sound escapes his lips.
    Mo Ran is standing there. Ghostly. Still covered in the blood of battle. Tears running down his face. His eyes wide and his mouth open as though in shock. In his hand he holds a single perfect haitang blossom that falls to the ground as he runs to the bed Chu Wanning sits on.

    In the Heavenly Rift, Mo Ran dies on Chu Wanning’s back as he drags them up 3,799 steps. Seven days later Huaizui arrives and tells Chu Wanning he can save Mo Ran. Chu Wanning agrees to do anything to bring Mo Ran back. The problem is, Chu Wanning knows Mo Ran died hating him and won’t want to return for him.
