Summary
“It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”
“I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”
“I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”
But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.
It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.
“I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.
Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.

Summary
He doesn’t quite remember the details of his original life anymore. But now, he does his best to conjure up what memories he can and carve a similarly bloody path to Yi City.
When Xiao Xingchen arrives to bring him to justice, Xue Yang can’t help but stare. Time and death have chipped away at his memories, leaving only fleeting impressions. A smile. A few words, softly murmured. The motion of long, deft fingers patching a threadbare blanket. The man he remembers was graceful and ethereal, otherworldly but kind. The man standing before him, this man made of flesh and bone and blood and breath -- he is the sum of all these things and more.
“Daozhang,” Xue Yang whispers, lowering his trembling blade.
Song Lan runs him through with Fuxue on the spot.
----
Xue Yang lives and dies and lives again.
Across thousands of lifetimes, only one thing remains constant: he wants.

Summary
Xue Yang bares his teeth in a smile, all violence barely leashed, and smooths his thumb over Song Lan’s cheekbone.
Sometimes Song Lan thinks it’s a shame that he’s going to be bound to this madman until their likely-mutual destruction at the hands of some cultivator who knows a monster when they see one. He could advance academic understanding so much, given the time and tools. For example: being touched by something alive, something alight with spiritual energy, is like having a brand laid on Song Lan’s skin.
“Poor dead Song Lan,” Xue Yang says, singsong. “And you never did get to say you were sorry, did you?”
In which Xue Yang and Song Lan have a conversation, sort of.Bookmarked by spudgun
