    Summary

    Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.

    When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.

    Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.

    (Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

    Summary

    Today, Wei Ying is dressed for the emperor. He has been planning this exact moment for months; timed it to precision, even. If they will not let Wei Ying serve the emperor, then Wei Ying will make the emperor come to him.

    And all he needs—is for the man to catch a glimpse. Just one glimpse of him, and Wei Ying knows he will have the chance to alter his fate.

    When he feels the man's eyes on him from afar, Wei Ying hurriedly gets up from where he’s sitting by the lotus pond. “Pardon me, your majesty,” he lies, lowering his head, hiding his smile. “I lost my way.”

    Summary

    The Lans agree to take in the Dafan Wen after Wei Wuxian rescues them from Qiongli Path. Their only condition: that Wei Wuxian lets himself be purified of resentful energy. Lan Wangji thinks this is how he will finally get his Wei Ying back, free from demonic influences. Wei Wuxian thinks this is a fancy way of saying "execution."

    Clearly that had been a mistake.

    Summary

    “Lan Zhan,” Wei Wuxian begins, fingers smoothing over the scar, “what were those thirteen years like?”

    The thirteen years without me, he wants to specify. But he knows that, even though it’s been some time, the pain of them will never leave Lan Wangji like the scars on his body. It’s unimaginable, but if he wants to close this gap between them, he has to ask him for it.

    “Can you tell me?”


    Or, thirteen nights Lan Wangji tells Wei Wuxian about his years without him, and one night Wei Wuxian tells Lan Wangji how he’ll make it up to him.
