    Summary

    "Don't cry... one day, this pain too, will fade. The knight has to save the prince, after all, and he's going to. But if it takes some time, that's okay."

    The plea scrapes the back of his throat, a voice uncried, hands joined together. Silt and blood and fire and salt; black eternal moving with the ebb and flow of shallow breath. Loss. Ozone sweet, dear prince; shining light, horizon; twist deep the blade, to no avail, and with trembling heart, he calls him home.

    (A barely remembered echo of a dream, a hill under a starless sky, shoulder to shoulder. Shared laughter, shared pain, a shared breath, quivering, on the tip of his tongue)

    -otherwise: the story of a prince, a sword, the relentless passage of time, and stardust of remembrance.

    Summary

    The gaze Bill's grandpa and step-grandma shot him was more than enough of an answer that they didn't really care about specifics. No matter how important Bill and Ted's identities were to themselves, no one else cared enough to respect it. Sure, they couldn't tell them no, but they sure as hell didn't have to agree, and it was a hard and heinous truth they had to accept.

    Summary

    The whispering grows louder, but he still can't understand it. It sounds like there are several voices now. The only impression he gets is that they're coming closer, which is the opposite of reassuring. "Hey!" He taps on the blade. "Can you hear me? Master Sword?" 

    The sword makes no response. Wen Qionglin sits back against the wall and looks down at it on his lap in the moonlight. He suddenly has the thought that if he looks at his reflection in it he will see--there will be something wrong with his eyes. He shudders, and leaves it where it is, reflecting only the ceiling.

     
    Wen Qionglin finds a very, very cursed sword rusting in a cave. Wen Qing isn't a fan. Jiang Yanli accidentally learns demonic cultivation. Mo Xuanyu learns about betrayal.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of Wei Wuxian's death, his friends grieve him in their own hidden ways. Nobody grieves more than Lan Wangji, of course. Knowing this, Nie Huaisang visits Lan Wangji whenever he can (which is far more often than he should, since Lan Wangji is supposed to be in seclusion), and—over the course of the following years—their already-close friendship slowly develops into a different kind of intimacy.

    or: five times Nie Huaisang visited the Cloud Recesses, and one time Lan Wangji visited the Unclean Realm.
