Ya

No water is enough when you have crossed the sea, No cloud is beautiful but that which crowns the peak. Passing through the flowers, my heart is unmoved, Perhaps because of Daoism, perhaps because of you.

Wei Wuxian: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Dad.’*

Lan Wangji built his life around the Wei Wuxian shaped hole in the world. He collected things that reminded him of wwx. Held on to trinkets from their time together. Branded himself with the same scars that wwx wore in life. Raised a-yuan in his stead.

And this is a bit of conjecture, but the Lan disciples were able to replicate wwx’s spirit flags exceptionally well. I like to think that lwj also kept wwx’s memory alive in his teachings to his disciples. That spark of brilliance living on in the next generation.

For thirteen years, lwj kept his love, his Wei Ying, alive through memory. Through the scars he once wore. The child he held dear. The inventions he created. Through his love. Thirteen years, that could have easily turned into the rest of his life had wwx not returned.
