    Summary

    Hanbin is only a thirteen hour flight away, if you don’t count the thirteen years that have passed in the meantime. Matthew certainly doesn’t.

    (or, Hanbin invites Matthew to his wedding, and Matthew finally puts this ghost story to rest.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Matthew’s looking at Hanbin and Hao at their little makeshift altar, and there’s so much tenderness in his eyes and—Hanbin can’t look away.

    So that’s how Matthew looked at him for all those years.

     

    proceeds to die violently. this is one of THE best fics I've ever read oh my god.

    "I know,” Matthew says. “Everything about this has been hard. I know we knew it would be, but–” Understanding something to be true and living through it are two ends of a horseshoe. “I don’t know. It’s hard in different ways.”

    “Where are you when you’re not with me?”

    “I’m always with you, Zhang Hao,” he answers. “Silly question. My eternal half.”

    Summary

    Lan Zhan is—everything. Wei Wuxian looks at him, and he aches. And somewhere near the base of his neck, wrapped around the white bones of his spine, the little hitchhiking ghost whispers: wouldn't it be nice, if we had him all to ourselves? Wouldn't that be nice?

    That's the crux of it, really. Lotuses bloom for half the year. The sun sets in the west. Wei Wuxian wants Lan Wangji. And the ghost, too, wants Lan Wangji—but it wants much more than Wei Wuxian is willing to take.

    -

    Wei Wuxian picks up a parasite on his travels. It wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't listen to him so much.

    (it only took getting haunted by a ghost for wei wuxian to figure out that he was, in fact, in love with lan wangji.

    typical.)

    Summary

    He closes his fingers around Lan Zhan’s, slipping their intertwined hands inside the neck of his robes. Pressing Lan Zhan’s palm to his chest, his fingers fanning out around the curve of Wei Wuxian’s ribs. His heartbeat hums against their skin, even and steady, and Lan Zhan exhales softly.

    “What did you dream of, then?” he asks.

    Mo Xuanyu’s sacrifice was never meant to be a permanent solution, and Lan Wangji fights to do what he could not the last time: to save Wei Wuxian.

    (grief!! love!!! mourning!! and the things we do for PEOPLE)

     

    And he had also learned the first lesson love had ever taught him: you could love and love someone until your heart ached enough to make you want to carve it out of your chest, but it didn’t mean they would ever feel the same.
