I Fell Down The Rabbit Hole

👼😈💖💖💖

It’s posting time for my second 2026 Mo Dao Zu Shi Reverse Big Bang collab. This time, we’ve got some post-canon family feels as Jin Ling and his uncles get lost together and work through all the emotions. Thank to the mods for hosting this year’s @mdzsrbb

"The forest cannot create monsters; it only reveals the ones people already carry inside themselves."

"Some ghosts are not the dead—they are the truths we refuse to face."

When a routine rescue goes terribly wrong, Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng, and Jin Ling find themselves trapped within a forest that feeds on memory, grief, and the wounds people leave buried. As reality fractures around them, old scars begin to surface—some remembered, some forgotten, and some never spoken aloud. To find their way home, they must navigate a labyrinth of echoes where the past is never truly gone and every step forward demands confronting what was left behind. A story about grief, family, forgiveness, and the devastating weight of love that survives even when everything else falls apart.

When she asks the kitchen staff about who Wei Changze is, they look uncertain before throwing around a couple words like "quiet" and "servant" and tell her not to worry about it. One even advises her not to bring him up anymore at all. So she doesn't, but she does diligently study the recipes and tries to replicate them to the best of her ability.
