Summary

Summary
Jiang Cheng has been trying very hard to ignore what he calls the Core of The Problem that has plagued him since his disciple brother came back into his life, but it has finally decided to make itself a pressing problem in time for the Yunmeng Cultivation Conference, in front of a hundred other cultivating clans.
Wei Wuxian has finally managed to make a home for himself, but unfinished business has a way of making itself known. This time he has Lan Wangji at his back, but he also has problems of his own, ones that cannot be fixed with a confession - problems that all lead back to Lan Xichen, and his inability to move on, and also his recent affinity for plum blossom perfume.
The children should not be the most well adjusted of the lot, but sometimes they remember routes that the adults have forgotten - even though Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling are both firmly of the opinion that Jingyi should never, never be trusted with a map. Jingyi wants everyone to know that it works.
AKA: the Sibling Rivalry Extra.

Bookmarker's Notes
very slow burn feels but not to romance
MAPMAKING is such a powerful motif(?) in marauders esp. later years fic - just - themes of being lost and finding one's way (and one's self), mystery and danger of uncharted territory, wanting to put it on paper/leave a record for selfish legacy purposes but also selflessly as a guide for future travelers. and here, what makes stuff easy vs difficult to map. (and probably more, feel like there are some major ones i'm missing off the top of my head ??? would love to discuss/ will be thinking about this further)
- "And you found only pieces," Remus guesses. / Rakesh nods. "Feet."
- The woman's shawl is tangled in a bush, wet with blood. In the dirt beside it, in its own crimson patch of mud, is a single torn, delicate, curving finger.
all of these scene endings LITERALLY made this impossible to put down, holy crap- It's not the dream. Not the hands, the long, lovely, bodiless hands, moving over his skin with confidence and skill, reaching detached from the murky dream-dark. They are hands that don't require arms, not that he ever looks, his dream mind knowing better than to follow the pale line of wrist and forearm, knowing better than to let his dream hands reach and trace the muscled arms and broad shoulders. // Remus rolls his head again. There must be some way to tighten the cot so it doesn't sag so much.
- Six months have shown him that he cannot control his memories; he cannot rein in his emotions this close to the full moon. Yet he tries, and he will continue to try, he promises himself, until the hands, whispers and laughter fade, until the memories are pale and vague, easily pushed aside.
T__T SUCH such painfully perfect remus-voice of 90% reflection/introspection that he barely admits to himself let alone saysIt's thoughtful of the kali vastu, Remus decides, to leave a bit of its victims behind. - screaming, screaming, what are we actually talking about here, what
remembering the pale slant of autumn sun in the library, two black heads bent over a massive tome across the table, dust, leather and wood illuminated with a soft golden glow. and all the other hogwarts-era flashbacks, 🥺🥺🥺. beautiful writing, such lovely magical theory + marauders characterization thru backstory
- The nauseating yellow walls are replaced by a shadowy, raging vision of Shiva dancing to destroy the world in his grief. things like this so naturally weaved in to the narrative/story
- the totally relatable snark @ travel bureaucracy
- the whole section of What do you see when you look at India, Remus Lupin? to This is a land where even the gods are submissive to the land, changing, mutating and multiplying because they cannot keep pace with the fierce, wild magic that flows from the mountains themselves. is just STELLAR- he is beginning to understand why explorers of ages past have carefully avoided descriptions of heartwoods in their texts. An enigmatic sentence such as: And, ye, we did scout the magical wood though it be dark and secretive in its mysteries, is far more impressive than: There were no bugs and I had a creepy feeling.
- "Remus Lupin." The man exhales the words thoughtfully, taking Remus' hand and holding it. "Did your parents consult the stars before deciding on so fatefully prescient a name?" // "No," Remus shakes his head, smiling, "but they certainly consulted the stars afterward."the ending though - plot resolution but not at all an emotional resolution?
