    Summary

    "It's my job," Jiang Cheng says, and it feels like he's floating several feet outside of his body. If the other sect leaders and their lackeys hear, he doesn't notice. "When he goes out into the darkness, it's my job to bring him home."

    Lan Xichen turns to him and opens his beautiful mouth. He must say something; his lips are moving. But Jiang Cheng can already feel the grave opening before him, and he knows, now, that Wei Wuxian was right after all: he would never learn how to love anyone but his family. That there is no safe or responsible option but this, because to do anything less would be to destroy his own soul.
    -----
    Or: Jiang Cheng does what he wants to do, and not what he should.

    Summary

    (you remain at a distance)

    When Jin Ling discovers his identity, the sword in his hand seemingly aims at his heart before it diverts to his chest, and Wei Wuxian can see the flicker of a hand holding over Jin Ling's before it fades away. As his nephew wails loudly like an abandoned dog, tears falling down his cheeks in a way that is so painfully reminiscent of Shijie, warm energy pulsates around him—as if he is captured in a desperate yet ultimately useless hug.

    The spirit is like acid. It is moved by everything Jin Ling does, and Wei Wuxian wouldn't be half-surprised if the reason why so many cultivators avoid angering Jin Ling is because of the temperature that dips around him when he is angered. It's as if the entire world has been flung into the deepest part of the lakes in winter, ice cracking above their heads as they look at the fifteen year old child, not knowing how the spirit commands its rage and blankets it around them.

    Summary

    (our bodies twist and meet in the middle)

    For Jiang Cheng, a favour bestowed must be a favour returned. His grandmother requests his help uncharacteristically in a matter most unbecoming of a man of his station, yet for his family, he accepts yet again.

    Summary

    (i wish my arms learned the memory of you)

    Thinking about him brings forward the memory of Lan Jingyi’s eyes—the colour of silver flecked with amber, a unique shade that hopefully nobody thought too deeply about—and how they had peered through him. In them was surprise and, most startling of all, no judgement. He seems to have inherited that from Zewu-jun, who has looked at Jiang Cheng with steadfastness and gentleness.

    Summary

    there's never been a future.

    'Shui Yu,' is the name of this strange teenager who has it out for him. Yunmeng Jiang's loud disciples call him 'shixiong!' and his face becomes like that of sunlight, the curve of his mouth and the softening of his eyes sometimes reminding Wen Ning of his sister, Jie who always looked at him with a mixture of exasperation and fondness whenever he came home covered in bruises from practising archery. He's well-liked by his martial siblings, his laughter echoing around whenever somebody says something particularly amusing, sternness cracking over to let amusement pass by. Yet whenever Wen Ning and he are in the same area, there is coldness in those eyes, nothing but a strong dislike.
