After Wei Wuxian died, Jiang Cheng found it hard to look at anything red in colour because it reminded him too much of the one who left him.
Jiang Cheng spotted a dog shivering in the cold on the streets and the instinct to shield the one who was always by his
side made his heart ache when there was only an empty space beside him.
Lotus roots and pork ribs soup no longer taste of anything except the ashes of all the bodies of his sect and family.
The Yunmeng clarity bell by his waist etched with the character “Ying” gave him
sleepless nights. Its partner that used to hang on Wei Wuxian’s waist, with the character “Cheng” lost to times long past.
Yellow books he confiscated from his disciples reminded him of three teenagers during their studies in those serene and ignorant childhood times.
The memories were painful.
Wei Wuxian died. He died and left him alone. The dead should be the ones who suffered, but why was Jiang Cheng the one hurting?
He heard the sharp notes of a dizi and his skin crawled. He didn’t want to be reminded of Wei Wuxian anymore.
But what if—
Jiang Cheng always followed the sounds of the dizi—like the pied piper and the rats. Every time his hopes were raised and dashed.
He whipped Zidian in the air and choked the imitators to death. People call him ruthless, heartless.
He should stop. Let his disciples deal with those imitators trying to wreck havoc with the feared name of the YLLZ. Sect Leader Jiang did not need to personally step in.
But what if—
Jiang Cheng knew he was delusional but he held on to that tiny fledging of hope.
But what if—?
Jiang Cheng waited. Years came and go in a flash. Wei Wuxian came back. Jiang Cheng did not wait and hope for a dream.
Except it was.
A dream that would never come true.
What did he wait for all these years?
A farewell…

Divorced chengxian modern AU who have shared custody over JL and JL stays with JC on the weekdays and WWX on the weekends. The arrangement works fine for a couple of years, WWX often subtly asking questions about how JC is doing to learn about
JC via JL and vice versa, but JC is more blunt and fierce with it—asking JL whether WWX’s house is a pigsty, did he make sure JL’s room was clean from dust? JL cannot afford to be sick!
One day, when JL is around 8 years old, he goes over to WWX’s as per normal but
there is another man in WWX’s house—whom WWX introduces to JL all cheery as his new BF, LWJ.
JL immediately turns on the waterworks and throws a tantrum about how he doesn’t want to stay with WWX and wants to go home.
What if WWX dies not long after GYT? Chengxian never reconciled.
LWJ meets a god that says he can help him with WWX’s regrets—WWX died with a lot of regrets in his heart and his soul would not be able to reincarnate this way. LWJ takes the offer and the god sends him
back in time with all his memories.
LWJ first hurries to pick WWX up from the streets, thinking that he has to save WWX from YMJ. WWX must come to GSL with him. It’s the only way to save WWX from his childhood sorrows (LWJ firmly believes in Cinderella WWX)
He takes WWX in. Keeps him in his room. Treats him specially. No one is allowed to get close to WWX without LWJ’s approval. He breaks all sorts of rules for WWX.
Because LWJ has his previous memories, he advances in his cultivation quicker than his past life—hailed to be a
LWJ has a great plan. Everything is meticulously prepared without a single chance for error.
Today is the day, he will finally propose to Wei Ying.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands he arrives at the appointed destination.
LWJ comes to a still.
Wei Wuxian is seated where LWJ prepared. At the floating pavilion surrounded by thousands of lotus-shaped lanterns bobbing on the surface of the lake.
He isn’t alone.
Jiang Wanyin is on Wei Ying’s lap, his arms around Wei Ying’s neck, their faces too close to each other for LWJ’s liking. Wei Ying supports Jiang Wanyin by the waist, keeping him from falling.

Two boys sit shoulder to shoulder, their toes grazing the surface of the lake. Their hair unbound, they sunbathe under the warm rays of the sun, drying off the water from their bodies from the dip they had earlier.
Wei Wuxian loves the calmness of these afternoons, when he can snooze in the warmth of the sun and the comfort of the presence of a loved one.
He wants to lean over and press a kiss onto Jiang Cheng’s soft, plump lips—he has never touched them, but he imagines them to taste sweet, and like a cloud.
