Fairy Tail: Priestess of the Phoenix : Lucy is found weeping, overtaken by sadness, and asks Natsu if magic is good or evil. Natsu shakes his head, and Lucy states that she wanted magic that could stop her tears as Natsu catches her mid-fall. Natsu says to her that in the end, Eclair was smiling, and says that everything will be fine and that everyone else is there for her. Then, Lucy leans against Natsu and he wraps his arms around her while she sobs.

(Jiang Cheng) “You brat! Where have you run off to in these three months?!”

Although the sentence itself seemed to scold him, his tone was full of joy. Although Lan WangJi didn’t step forward, he eyes had always been locked onto Wei WuXian. With the slap, Wei WuXian paused blankly. A few moments later, he struck him as well, “Haha, it’s a long story, it’s a long story!”

The cold air that had been on him was in some ways watered down by the two strikes. There was anger within Jiang Cheng’s joy. He hugged him tightly before shoving him back, yelling, “Didn’t we agree to meet at the lousy town down the mountain? I waited for almost six days and didn’t even see a shadow of you! If you died it wouldn’t even have been in front of my eyes! For the last three months I’ve been so busy that my head’s even gotten bigger!”

Wei WuXian lifted the hem of his robe and sat down again, waving his hand, “I’ve already said that it’s a long story. Back then a bunch of Wen-dogs were searching everywhere for me as well. They were waiting for me, caught me right there, and threw me to some hell of a place to suffer.”

…

As he watched his movements, Lan WangJi’s face grew even colder. Although the scene made Jiang Cheng feel somewhat uncomfortable, at the moment, he was more shocked than anything else, “What hell of a place? I’ve carefully asked the people in the town, so how was it that everyone said they hadn’t seen you?!”

Wei WuXian, “You asked the people in the town? They’re all a bunch of naive farmers scared of bringing themselves trouble, so who’d dare tell you the truth? And the Wen-dogs have definitely done something to shut their mouths. Of course all of them said that they hadn’t seen me.”

Jiang Cheng cursed, “Those old idiots!” He quickly added, “What hell of a place? Qishan? The Nightless City? Then how did you get out? And you’ve become like this. What are… these two things of yours?

Chapter. 62: Evil, exr

Here, I can see the ambiguity because wwx doesn’t explicitly say that he was in the Burial Mounds, but it also feels like jc is just skipping over the obvious before dropping it because his main concern was the idea that wwx had abandoned him, not wwx having been captured, and once that fear is assuaged, he drops the topic. Lwj doesn’t say anything at all, but seeing as his priority is actually wwx’s well-being, I wonder how seriously he took wwx’s words to ponder on or if this is one of those moments where he thinks wwx is exaggerating for effect (despite the, you know, very serious setting they find themselves in). But then we get this exchange:

Jiang Cheng, “You really intend on stationing yourself here in the long run? Can people even live in such a damned place?”

Wei Wuxian, “I lived three months in here.”

Chapt. 73: Recklessness, exr

He only took the first step of telling JC where he was those 3 months when he came to the burial mounds. I don’t think WWX was bad in communication, but at the same time, I won’t believe his trauma didn’t have anything to do with him not trying to explain.

Of course, one question would lead to another, but there were a lot of ways and things he could have clarified, but I don’t think with BM and the war, he was in the headspace to do so. He took the first step in explaining some of his issues to JC aka BM. But ofc we know the ending of that conversation.

Part of why wwx did not tell jc anything was because the deeper explanations wrapped around the burial mounds stint involved the loss of his golden core. Wwx also did not bother coming up with an explanation because—and I cannot stress this enough—jc did not care. Lwj was the only one who cared about any of this stuff because he cared that wwx seemingly had this massive personality and behavioral shift for “no reason,” and again, wwx couldn’t tell him anything because of the gc transfer. Not once in the post-fall era did jc show concern for wwx’s wellbeing once he got caught by the Wen except for when wwx went missing. And the moment wwx returned, jc made it about himself, because his priority was how he felt like wwx might have abandoned him, not that something had seriously happened to wwx. Wwx knew this, jc knew this. They both moved accordingly.

I agree with everything you said, and I'd still like to mention that WWX didn't seem inclined to abandon JC throughout the war. If he could have explained and eased it with his excellent communication skills, he would have. He knew exactly how to subordinate himself to JC and he kept doing it because he always intended to go out that way.

They weren't really close but WWX was aware that JC was being bothered by other ppl due to him. One of the reasons was the sword carrying thing they made a bigger deal of than needed, which WWX would have loved to resolve as JC's subordinate but he couldn't.

They return from the country, and their mom is surprised when all her children hug her at the station. Even Peter, who thinks he’s all grown up. Even Edmund, who went away surly and withdrawn. She doesn’t know her children haven’t seen her in over a decade.

They miss their dear Cair Paravel, but they absolutely do not miss its chamber pots. Indoor plumbing is amazing.

It takes a while to remember how modern technology works, though. How many heart attacks did the siblings give their parents or the professor because they walked into a dark room only to turn on the light and find the children sitting there in the dark. (They were by the window! There was still plenty of light from the sunset! They would have gotten a candle in a minute!) The kids sheepishly remember oh yeah electricity is a thing.

(Edmund has a new electric torch in Prince Caspian. He was so excited to get that torch. Almost more excited than you’d think a kid his age would be, and his parents expect Peter at least to tease him, but the siblings all agree light in your hand at the touch of a switch is terrific.)

Suddenly getting really high grades in some subjects and terrible in others. Their grammar, reading comprehension, spelling, vocab, even penmanship? Amazing. History and geography? They don’t remember anything. One time in class Susan forgets Earth is round and wants to die.

Also they can never remember what the date is supposed to be because Narnia uses different months and years. They can estimate time really well by looking at the sun though, and Edmund at least can always tell which way is north etc without thinking about it (again, using the sun)

Okay but how many times did they go to pick something up or reach something and realize they are so much shorter and less muscled than they expect? It’s a common sight to see Peter climbing on counters to reach a top cabinet, grumbling about how he’s High King this is demeaning. (No he never takes the extra five seconds to grab a stool. He will climb that shelf.)

Peter and Susan being delighted because they are no longer almost thirty. (In a few years Edmund and Lucy will tease them about being old and their parents will not understand.)

Lucy doesn’t have to deal with periods anymore for a few years yet. Susan might not either. Heck yeah

Lucy loves to climb into her siblings’ laps and be cuddled. In Narnia she eventually she grew too big, but now she is small and snuggleable again. Peter is her favorite, and if she’s upset, he’ll tickle her and tell bad jokes until she’s smiling again, but really she loves cuddling with all her family. She grew up without her parents; how many times did she just want to crawl into her mom’s lap and her mom was a world away? Imagine the first time she realizes she can now. Or, imagine one day, a cold and grey sort of day, when the rain is pattering against the windows, and it sounds like the rain on the windows of the Professor’s house, that first day they went exploring. It sounds like the day they played hide and seek. It sounds so like the rain on the windows of Cair Paravel, that if Lucy closes her eyes she can imagine she’s back there, having tea and chatting with Mr. Tumnus before the fireplace of her room, and soon the rain will stop, and they will go out on the balcony and wave to the naiads and the dryads and the mermaids, who have come out to enjoy the rain and visit one other on the banks of the Great River winding past Cair Paravel down to the sea.

But if Lucy looks out the window, all she’ll see is the rain over London, so it’s not only a cold and grey sort of day, it’s a lonely sort of day too.

Susan and Edmund are playing chess in the living room (and they must have studied with Professor Kirke, thinks their mother, because they certainly weren’t that good when they left). Lucy goes over to Edmund, and oh dear, thinks their mother, now he’s going to call her a baby and be horrible to her, but instead he picks her up and puts her on his lap without even taking his eyes off the chessboard; it’s simply a matter of course.

“Doesn’t the rain sound familiar?” says Lucy in a solemn, wistful way.

Their mother doesn’t know what that means, but her siblings must, because Susan says, “Yes, Lu, it does,” and Edmund gives her a little hug with his free arm as she tucks herself under his chin to watch the chess match.

(Jiang Cheng) “You brat! Where have you run off to in these three months?!”

Although the sentence itself seemed to scold him, his tone was full of joy. Although Lan WangJi didn’t step forward, he eyes had always been locked onto Wei WuXian. With the slap, Wei WuXian paused blankly. A few moments later, he struck him as well, “Haha, it’s a long story, it’s a long story!”
