"Step-father"

Hurt/Comfort, Found Family

Lan Sizhui doesn't remember Wei Wuxian at the Guanyin Temple.

Wei Wuxian becomes Lan Wangji's husband. Then he realizes with horror that Lan Zhan has a son, and he hasn't asked for said son's opinion before shoehorning his way into their family.

Sizhui is a sweet child. Kind and smart, maybe a bit too obedient for his own good. A perfect little Lan.

The last time Wei Wuxian tried parenting, he'd had a 3 year-old boy in his care. He'd left the kid behind to turn himself into red confetti.

Wei Wuxian, unexpectedly, manages to become a quite decent tutor to the Lan disciples. But how to become a father ?

Should he try some family bonding activities ?

Wei Wuxian sets out to get Sizhui warmed up to him.

Going out and talking with the teen is thankfully easy and fun. Sizhui doesn't hold any prejudice against him, and he even makes a point of saying he enjoys Wei Wuxian's company. That in itself is enough to cause his eyes to water.

He learns about Sizhui's childhood. His first friend -Lan Jingyi, of course-, his first days of class, of sword training, of nighthunting.

He smiles at stories of Sizhui growing loved by his father and uncle, and his grand-uncle(!). Being patiently taught how to play the Guqin. Being gently offered the Xiao to try. Being playfully buried under a pile of fuffly rabbits.

He learns about the more mischievous(!!) side of his step-son. His first punishments (after being caught helping Jingyi copy rules, after trying to raise a rabbit in his room, after spicing up his and Jingyi's food once and getting found out because they kept blowing their nose.)

He is subjected to a terrifying kind of love, so strong and so freely given, by a heart so big he's scared it would one day be inevitably hurt.

He sees Sizhui's willingness to share his home, his father's love, because it would make them both so happy.

He keeps learning about how wonderful his newfound son is.

Then, there is also Sizhui's favorite childhood toy : a familiar paper butterfly.

There is Sizhui's former unexplained belief that being planted in the dirt like a radish would make him grow bigger and give him playmates.

There is Sizhui's nose, which reminds him of Lan Zhan's, and another boy's too.

There is the way Sizhui's just blurted out 'Xian-gege', himself confused by this way of address.

Eşinin ihanet ettiğini anlasan, ona karşı öfkeden deliye dönersin. Senin nefsin, seni hayatın boyunca aldattı.

Bilgeler derler ki; aldatan eşi boşamak gerek. Boşasana nefsini!
