🪷 scars and scratches 🪷 relationships: wangxian, wei wuxian & lan sizhui, lan wangji & lan sizhui tags: canon divergence, fix-it, kind of, wangxian dads, taking some liberties/playing in the space re: timeline etc, angst with a happy ending, established relationship, some power play but no noncon status: ongoing Wei Ying begins to fall, and Lan Zhan sees each of his mistakes laid before him.

Time is an agonizing crawl as Lan Zhan grabs, fruitlessly, at the hem of Wei Ying’s sleeve. The fabric slips through his blood-slicked fingers. He scrambles to his feet, Wei Ying’s name tearing from his throat, eyes burning with exhaustion, misery, a grief that is already all-encompassing. Lan Zhan breathes once, twice.

Then, he jumps.

In the black, twin points of glowing red appear, fierce and burning eyes that stop Lan Wangji in his tracks. He stares, swallowing thickly, before taking another step. This one is met with a growl, almost like an animal and hardly like a man.

“Get out.”

The voice is low, dripping with warning, and Wangji thinks that listening might be wise.

“No,” he says instead.

The bodiless voice laughs, a haunting thing that echoes in the stone walls.

“They sent me such a pretty young master,” it drawls. Wangji can almost feel the voice caressing his skin, and shivers. “Shame on them.”

Chapter 19

Wangji’s heart races even as the scene shifts, though he no longer mistakes the feeling for fear. Wei Wuxian’s strides and genius are exhilarating to witness, even the ones that have already happened. He thinks again of being small, watching lightning strike the rice fields on a particularly long trip with his uncle and brother, and wishing he could stand in the middle of it all to feel the energy. The crash of connection with the earth, the heat as it scorched grass. He had wondered if it would hurt to be struck, or if it would feel like falling, which he also enjoyed more than he should - an ecstatic swoop, a rush of blood into his fingers and toes, fighting for breath and screaming with something like joy when it can’t be found. What Lan Wangji has craved more than anything since the day he was born is to be overcome.
