  Summary

  A century of solitude and pain, with a sprinkle of death? What could possibly go wrong!
  A lot, apparently, but maybe something good could come out of it too? Or maybe just different, only time can tell.
  Xie Lian tried being brave and righteous, he fought to the very end, and died alone for his efforts. Maybe it was time to just appreciate what was left and live a little. Let others fight for once, he'll watch!

   

  or, a camality!Xie Lian fic, with different choices, embracing the beauty of chaos, and sticking one's finsers into other people's drama.
