   Summary

   Shen Jiu knew he was born rotten. What surprised him, in the end, was not that he was so- but how long he had managed to fool the great and good otherwise.

   Shen Jiu dies with his teeth around a shard of heaven.

   Then he wakes.

   Faces blur. Voices repeat.

   (The hands that hurt him were never quite separable from the hands that had once reached out.)

   Lessons half-taught, never finished, reopen like old wounds as Shen Jiu returns to Autumn.

   [Time Regression fic where Shen Jiu dies in PIDW, then re-awakens in his second year at the Qiu household.]
