    Summary

    Wei Wuxian wants to cup that round face in his hands like he could when they were children and feel the slide of muscle and bone, the warm breath of words spoken from between his fingers. He half-reaches out to do it. The red tassel of the bell swings from his fist.

    “No,” Jiang Cheng says. His voice sounds completely ordinary – a little muffled in the small room, a little tired. He sounds alive. “Tell him to stay away.”

    ---

    Sandu Shengshou's ghost haunts Lotus Pier. But it's all right - Wei Wuxian is going to fix this, Wei Wuxian will find a way to speak to him, no matter what.

    Summary

    It was Wei Ying's fifty-first descent into the Underneath. He wasn't expecting it to be different than any of the fifty times before. But that the was the problem with expectations when it came to this place; it would always find a way to defy them.

    When Wei Ying jumped and wrapped his arms around the Moon, he hadn't known what would happen.

    But had you asked him to guess, he would not have guessed this.

    He shook the dizziness from his eyes, focusing on the shadowed face of a man. A man who was staring down at him, eyes wide with surprise, though he couldn't be more shocked than Wei Ying who, even over a decade later, would never forget that face.
    "Lan Zhan?"

    Summary

    20 years after Wei Wuxian left, they meet again. Things are different, but the same. The world as they know it is ending, but they have each other, and maybe that'll be enough.

    Also, there's a proletarian revolution.

    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.
