    Summary

    Only a few moments ago, Guanyin temple had been collapsing around him, rubble falling at his feet. Sizhui had frozen in the midst of it all, completely unmoored. He did nothing still when Senior Wei pressed close and smiled at him, blood dripping from the corners of his lips. It was a gory smile, all red teeth, and so obviously forced. “It’s okay, Sizhui,” he’d said. “You’ll be okay.”

    And then a talisman was slammed into his diaphragm.

    ---

    Lan Sizhui finds himself sixteen years in the past - before the ambush at Qiongqi Path, before the Bloodbath of Nightless City, before Lan Wangji's seclusion, and before Wei Wuxian's death.

    He has the opportunity to save his family - all of it. Sizhui isn't going to let that slip through his fingers.

    (Spanish & Russian Translation Available - see first chapter notes).

    Summary

    Lan Xichen pauses before he speaks. He often does. “A-Yao, will you…?”

    There are any number of things that Lan Xichen might be about to say. He might be about to say, “A-Yao, will you cook breakfast while I bathe in the river?” But then, there is a gravity to his tone, and a flush on his cheeks. So perhaps it will be, “A-Yao, will you do that thing with your tongue?” Or even more thrillingly, “A-Yao, will you teach me how to do that thing with your tongue?”

    Lan Xichen does not say any of these things. He says, “A-Yao, will you marry me? If we both survive the war, will you marry me?”

    .

    Lan Xichen proposes before the war. Somehow, through the property of transitivity, Wei Wuxian becomes Meng Yao’s problem to solve.

    Summary

    “Come on,” Neil said, stepping backwards. He took Jean’s hand again and this time Jean let him. “It’s ok. Choose life, Jean.”

    This didn’t feel like choosing life. Jean stepped forward, and chose Neil.

    Summary

    Under the night pearls’ light, he can see the serene face of Luo Binghe above him, the edges of his face trimmed of all youthful fat, whiter than snow under the thick smears of dirt.

    He stands over Shen Qingqiu’s bed silently. His hair is wild and messy, barely pulled back with a fraying bit of green ribbon; his clothing is torn and stained all over with what can only be blood, as if chunks of his flesh had been torn out again and again until the clothing was dyed through with it all; his body is taller and leaner than he recalls, honed to utter perfection from his time in the Endless Abyss.

    Then, Luo Binghe smiles.

    Luo Binghe returns early, and he wants. He wants Shen Qingqiu. He wants to love him, to hurt him, to burrow into him until they blend together as one being. Frightened at having all of the knowledge he's relied upon suddenly upended, Shen Qingqiu underestimates the depth of Luo Binghe's obsessive grudge against him.
