    He can’t get Jin Guangyao’s words out of his head.

    If he’d only believed in Wei Wuxian, if he’d only been willing to stand up for him, could it all have been avoided?

    Summary

    If he were just like Lan Wangji, Jiang Cheng could dismiss the nagging voice in his head that said he’s family, and you have close to nothing left. Jiang Cheng could have left the night hunt with the unanimous truth about Lan Sizhui: he wasn’t his family. He wasn’t like Wei Wuxian, he was moulded and shaped by Lan education to be the same stuffy, emotionless, powerhouse of a teenager Lan Wangji once was. He was just some kid, some future Lan leader, an heir, more Lan Wangji’s than Wei Wuxian’s, whatever the nature of their relationship may be.
    But Lan Wangji would not have thrown himself in front of that sword. Lan Wangji would have never bled out on the floor to save Jiang Cheng from the imminent threat of death. Never in a million years would he do something as reckless and self-sacrificial.

    That was Wei Wuxian, through and through. Lan Sizhui was Wei Wuxian’s son.

    (or, in which Lan Sizhui is forced to stay in Lotus Pier for three weeks, and saves Jiang Cheng in more ways than one. Turns out stab wounds heal faster than 16 years of regret.)

    Summary

    There was a ghost that haunted the decks of Lotus Pier, it was said. If you stepped across the wooden planks at night, walked along the endless docks and flying purple banners, he would appear.

    He was always in darkest black, dressed as specter and shadow. In the emptiness where a face should be was a thick fog, features washed away and leaving behind only glimmering red eyes.

    He looked ferocious as a ghoul, it was said.

    Jin Ling thought he looked sad.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian dies at twenty-two and doesn’t come back. Lan Wangji dies in an “unfortunate accident” in a temple in Yunping at thirty-seven. The world moves on.

    Thousands of years later, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan have a senior thesis in cultivation to co-write on the Yiling Patriarch. It doesn’t go exactly how they were expecting.
    -
    “I still do not understand why you were able to read the journal in the first place,” Lan Zhan says.

    Wei Ying grins. “You’ll laugh,” he says. He won’t, of course. Lan Zhan doesn’t laugh. But maybe he can swing a smile. “It’s because of the name thing. He wrote his name into the scrambling talisman. So it says that no one can undo the lock but Wei Ying.” He hooks a thumb at himself.

    Everyone’s always said his name is unlucky. This is the first time it’s worked out in his favor. It’s not a coincidence either; apparently his mother thought it would be funny. Mrs. Yu had told him that with a curl in her lip, as if it didn’t make him wish he knew his parents even more.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji was not delusional. He knew Wei Ying was dead. The sharp stab of hope had spread out and dulled.

    But there was something firmer than hope, firmer also than fantasy, which he would not leave behind. Even if Wei Ying was gone and would never come back, nothing would take his place in Lan Wangji’s heart. He thought about that occasionally, when he glimpsed the moon through stark branches on a forest trail, or when he felt drowsy and distant in the seat of honor at banquets.

    It was simple. He would always love Wei Ying.

    -

    Over 16 years, Lan Wangji’s faith is rewarded as rumors solidify: The Yiling Patriarch survived Nightless City and became a powerful sect leader in a distant land.

    Mirthless, jaded, aloof: this stranger sounds nothing like the Wei Wuxian whom Lan Wangji loves. But as political backstabbing and a monstrous magic threaten to destroy the cultivation world, Wei Wuxian will return one last time.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian smiles at him. Lan Wangji smiles back, helpless not to.

    ‘Don’t do that,’ Wei Wuxian says.

    ‘Do—?’

    ‘Smile like that,’ says Wei Wuxian, in a very how dare you!!!! sort of fashion. ‘How am I supposed to think when I know you can smile like that!’

    ‘Don’t think,’ Lan Wangji advises.

    .

    Wei Wuxian comes back to the Cloud Recesses for the winter months. He and Lan Wangji learn that emotional intimacy and physical intimacy are not (yet) quite synonymous.

    They have time to figure it out.

    Summary

    “Senior Wei, why do you think we haven’t heard any screams yet?” Sizhui inquires.

    His senior looks nervous, Sizhui thinks, and it upsets him more than he thought it would. Around Wei Wuxian, he’s never had to feel like he’s in any danger, no matter how dangerous the situation they enter—and though he wouldn’t say it out loud, he finds it a great comfort when Wei Wuxian accompanies them on night-hunts. It’s not that he is scared of hunting alone with the other juniors, he defends himself, but something in the senior’s presence tells him it’s impossible for things to go wrong.

    So when Senior Wei loses his carelessness, Sizhui knows not just that the case will be dangerous, but that he’ll need to stay sharp, himself.

    And when Senior Wei answers, after a short silence, that he doesn’t know either, Sizhui’s apprehension turns to uncertainty.


    When Sizhui is injured on a night-hunt, the best choice is to go to Lotus Pier, even if Wei Wuxian dreads that decision. But to defeat the being they have encountered, they will need help.

    Summary

    “You’ve got a fever,” Wei Wuxian says soothingly. “You just keep still as well as you can. We’ll have you fixed up soon.”

    Lan Sizhui recognizes his tone—this is the voice that Wei Wuxian uses on hurt people and young children, a very calm and no-nonsense voice that has none of the mischief and cheer of the way he sounds the rest of the time. Lan Sizhui looks up and meets his eyes, and they are dark, stormy gray, muddled and concerned.

    “I’m all right,” he croaks.

    “Hush,” Wei Wuxian says, in a low croon, like someone quieting a baby. Then he blinks, and looks away, awkward. “I mean—you shouldn’t speak. You’re tired. Rest if you need to.”

    lan sizhui gets sick on a night hunt. wei wuxian comforts him. they both have a lot of feelings about it.
