    Summary

    Leaning close, Lan Sizhui whispers forcefully, “You… You told Jiang Wanyin that I was born a Wen?!”

    Only now does it seem like Jin Ling realizes the gravity of what he’d done as his face goes pale.

    After all, Jiang Wanyin proudly led the Siege of the Burial Mounds. Jiang Wanyin was one of the most vocal advocates for the destruction of the Wen Sect and Wei Wuxian.

    And now, Jiang Wanyin knows he failed to eradicate the entirety of the sect upon which he’d sworn revenge.

    -----------

    Lan Sizhui wasn't planning on telling Jiang Wanyin anything about his origins. (un)Luckily for him, he doesn't have to worry about that bit. The next four days in Jiang Cheng's household, however...

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian always enjoyed picking an aesthetic and really leaning into it. As an adolescent, he was joyous, entitled and high-born; during the war, he was dangerous and threatening. After the war, he was lost. But then he found his new aesthetic: Elder of the Jiang Sect.

    Summary

    The boy climbing over the wall is clearly, straightforwardly breaking the rules, even before Lan Wangji sees the jars of alcohol he carries. When caught, though, he laughs — and for a moment, Lan Wangji can do nothing but stare, because despite the vague sense of disconnection that has lingered all day, here is someone fully, entirely real.

    Oh, he thinks, and the sense of loss that has been weighing him down begins to lift.

    Lan Wangji has his regrets about things he did and did not do, and he tried not only to do better when he got another chance, but to become someone who would not have made what he considers to be his original mistakes with the information he had at the time. So did he succeed?

    (The answer given here is ‘Yes, and this can be contrived to plausibly make things better rather than worse.’)

    Summary

    “…See, it’s a very scary curse that prevents me from stating the truth about this creature!” Wei Ying raises his milk to the ceiling, “It’s deceitful and secretive. It’s done this so I can’t share with anyone else, about the horrors I have seen. Lan Zhan, these horrors are meant for my eyes, and my eyes alone. This is a battle I must fight on my own. Lan Zhan, my good Lan Zhan, you understand this, don’t you?”

    Lan Zhan stares at him, completely dead-panned and fish-eyed.

    “Lan Zhan, you understand, don’t you?” Wei Ying raises the milk carton higher.

    Lan Zhan turns resolutely towards the stove, then casts a side-way glance at Wei Ying, “I do not.”

    or

    Wei Ying returns injured from a night-hunt. Lan Zhan is worried. And there was something about an elevator.
