    He can’t get Jin Guangyao’s words out of his head.

    If he’d only believed in Wei Wuxian, if he’d only been willing to stand up for him, could it all have been avoided?

    Summary

    There is a moment—a single heartbeat’s-length of time—when it’s over, and the ghost's possession of his body dissipates, and Lan Wangji’s mind clears. It is like breaking through the surface of fast-moving water to gasp for air.

    He finds himself suspended in midair, mid-fall, trapped—face-to-face, hand-to-hand, so close they breathe the same air—with the man who killed Wei Ying.

    - - -

    Six years after the Yiling Patriarch's death, on what had seemed like an ordinary night-hunt alongside the Jiang sect, Lan Wangji finds himself possessed by a vengeful ghost. Sect Leader Jiang successfully dispels the possession.

    It is afterward that the trouble truly starts.

    Lin-xiong,” Xiao Yan said calmly. His clothes were splattered with blood, and his arms red with gore up to the elbow. “I apologise; I didn’t intend for father to pull you away from your duties.”

    Lin Chen sagged against the door frame, and regarded him mournfully. “If father had to afflict me with a younger brother,” he said sadly, “why did he have to be so uncute?”

    Or:

    Lin Chen has a brother who is far too noble and invested in hopeless causes for his own good.

    Summary

    There was something of Xiao Jingyan there, in the firmness of his jaw, the unforgiving slash of his brows, and most clearly in the eyes that neither saw nor conveyed deception. But Long Zhan was not Jingyan, could never be, no matter how much Changsu might wish otherwise, because Jingyan was dead.

    In service to a very-much-alive Prince Qi, Jingyan dons a Jianghu-typical disguise and infiltrates the Jiangzuo Alliance to suss out this Mei Changsu fellow and see if he might be useful in helping them re-open the Chiyan conspiracy case.

    Basically, a slightly ridiculous premise where everyone is running around the Jianghu with masks, multiple identities, and secret agendas.

    Summary

    “I know what you’re thinking,” he insisted, “and you’re a fucking idiot. You think it’s not fair that I have a core and you don’t. You think your life has been hard. You think the worst possible thing has happened to you.” He knew it was true, because he remembered thinking that. He’d lain in bed for days like a fool, believing that nothing could be worse than losing every hope of cultivation. “You hate seeing me because I have something that you don’t, and I —” he choked on the words. “You have no fucking idea.”

    The other Jiang Cheng’s face grew more and more contemptuous as he talked. “You’re wrong,” he said icily. “I don’t want a single thing you have. Not at the price you paid.”

    Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian find themselves in a world where things went differently.

    Summary

    Three years from the end of the novel, Wei Wuxian continues to live freely, albeit quietly, resigned to keeping silent amidst continued hostility from Yunmeng Jiang, and the cultivation world at large. However, as old grievances tighten around him, threatening to ensnare him in a plot to put him to trial, he and Lan Wangji must find a way to defend his actions. Jiang Cheng turns out to be an unexpected ally. This turn of events may very well force them to confront the wrongs they have committed against each other, and apologize for past feuds.

    Alternative summary: Am I The Asshole? Yunmeng Jiang loyalists plot to have Wei Wuxian publicly labeled as The Asshole. Jiang Cheng is bewildered, seeing as he thinks that The Asshole is himself. In other news, when you’re both bad at talking about feelings, mutually unrequited forgiveness happens.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng turns to Lan Wangji, ready to send the dish back, when he catches the aroma of the soup for the first time and stops in his tracks. Fresh, slightly sweet, achingly familiar. It’s been a long time since he’s had this soup. Nearly thirteen years now.

     

    Slowly, Jiang Cheng picks up his spoon with trembling hands—trembling with anger, of course, because what else could it be?—and dips it into the broth.

    (Or, Jiang Cheng is served a bowl of soup and the life he has carefully pieced back together comes crashing down in front of him. And then he builds something better.)

    Summary

    If Yanli had been the one to survive Nightless City, would he have left her in the past? No, he didn't doubt Wei Wuxian’s affection for Yanli. Again, it was only him who was unwanted.

    Would it have been better that way? If he had been the one to take the sword?

    Or perhaps if he had died during the war, before Wei Wuxian returned?

    Or ultimately, wouldn't it have been better if he had died at Wen Chao’s hand? Before the core transfer that had cost everything in the end?
