When Wei Wuxian emerges from the cave, stretching his limbs with a yawn, Lan Wangji is usually already at work, helping to build and plow and plant. It should be a bit of a ridiculous sight, to have Hanguang-Jun in his pretty, clean clothes sit in a patch of turnips and let A-Yuan peek over his shoulder. Instead, it’s endearing. So much so that it makes Wei Wuxian want to be ridiculous – like say, walk up to Lan Wangji and kiss him senseless.

canon divergence series part iii: at qiongqi path, lan wangji makes a different choice. in the burial mounds, a home is built.

“where do you want to go?” baoshan sanren whispers, a sound as light as the touch upon her hair. 

lan yi smiles down at her. “wherever you are, wherever you have been. to the rivers and mountains and fields. to the places you love and those you have never seen. i want to,” she takes a deep breath, closes her eyes for a moment, overcome. “i want you to take me wherever there is a home. for us.”

baoshan sanren nods, then reaches up to twine their fingers together, kissing her knuckles. “alright.” and does just that.
