Summary
"I am tired of not knowing myself. Teach me how to come alive, because this emptiness is suffocating me and I yearn to reach for the sun."
----
There’s a hole in Caelus' mind these days. It aches with serrated teeth and yearns to devour anything in its path—and so Caelus leaves Amphoreus knowing not what he's lost before even the Memoria Tide, only that he *lost* it.
A letter finds the Express: addressed to Caelus, it suggests an arranged marriage between himself and the Luofu's High Elder Dan Feng.
In thwarting destiny, Caelus finds that the answer to a question he doesn't know how to ask has stood on the Luofu for millennia, waiting for the day where Caelus might remember the star he once stepped out of so long ago.
And maybe if Caelus accepts the proposal, he might learn what made him want to live so bad that he had to die for it.
----
An AU where Dan Feng didn't get subjected to the Horrors™ of the Shackling Prison, and never joined the Astral Express.
