    Summary

    Jiang Yanli, he thought, with his whole heart and all of his golden painted soul. His wife, his love, he had almost left her. The rock beneath his back was chilly as frost but he went icy at the thought.

    He had sworn to never see her cry from sadness again, to wipe away only tears of joy. He had sworn to protect her gentle smile and relentless kindness.

    He had sworn to do so much, and yet a hand had driven through his chest.

    Summary

    No one leaves the burial mounds alive. Wei Wuxian knows this to be true. He can feel that it’s true. But it’s a struggle to account for all the symptoms he has to hide. He didn’t even expect this one – but then, Lan Zhan played Inquiry.

    Fuck.

    Summary

    Only family and spouses could touch one’s ribbon. And only one of those designations was readily available.
    Lan Zhan had considered his options carefully in the Cold Spring cave. Really he had. In the end, he made his decision with a certain amount of satisfaction – if Wei Ying needed to be family in order to safely traverse the cave, then family he would be. Obviously, it wasn’t a traditional ceremony, but Wei Ying had seemed enthusiastic to be bound to him regardless, and Lan Zhan found himself pleased. After all, he had found an equal in his new husband.

    Or: Lan Zhan married Wei Wuxian by wrapping his ribbon around his wrist. It’s just a shame he never thought to actually tell him that.

    Summary

    For a short while, probably more than he’d had any right to expect, Wei Wuxian had managed to feel like himself again. His clothing might have been rougher, and pockets certainly lighter, but sitting across from Lan Zhan sharing a meal without cross words or demands flying back and forth across the food…

    But a short time had all he’d been allowed before being abruptly summoned back to reality.

     

    Or, two strangers appear in the Burial Mounds.

    Summary

    When they try to strike him they fail.
    When they try to touch him, they cannot reach him.
    When they have no other choice but to accept they can't harm him, they become afraid.
    He is cursed, they say.
    The Yiling Patriarch corrupted him, tainted him, tried to make him stray from the right path and if that wasn't enough he made it so not even his own clan could help him.
    Even from behind the grave, the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation had managed to damn his old enemy one last time.
