The door slams and Lan Wangji felt it to his core. The sound of a car revving in the driveway and he knows it’s Wei Ying’s car leaving.

Because his husband decided that he wasn’t good for Lan Wangji
anymore and that it would be best if he left. If they divorced.
If he wasn’t Lan Wangji’s husband anymore.
What was the appropriate reaction here? Lan Wangji felt as if the oxygen in the room had been sucked out. Like he was a shell of himself, frozen unable to move,

His phone buzzed, eyes darting to the side hoping it was Wei Ying but no.
“Ge-“ and with that Lan Wangji broke. His brother kept saying something, maybe asking him what was wrong but Lan Wangji was fighting for every breath.

The world
was crumbling around him and the worst part he had no idea why.
Why would Wei Ying say that?
Why would he ever think Lan Wangji deserved more?
Wei Ying was perfect. The other part of him.
Lan Wangji doesn’t remember much of what happens after that. His brother came for him,

Lan Wangji doesn’t remember much of what happens after that. His brother came for him,
then papers were delivered to the house asking for Lan Wangji to sign and end everything that had been between them.
He’d cried looking at the document seeing Wei Ying’s signature already there. As if it was so easy for him to just write off the man he claimed to have loved.

That was the thing wasn’t it? They’d been in love for so long. Lan Wangji never thought this was an option. An end that was possible for them.
They married young because they wanted to. You don’t think you’ll be divorced at 25 with a (now ex-) husband who refuses to tell you

Years pass and Lan Wangji is told Wei Ying is fine. Maybe it was time for him to move on.

10 years later and his life had changed considerably. Lan Wangji moved far because walking by the same parks he used to stare at the night sky with Wei Ying or eating at places that had been /their/ favorite became too much.

His brother offers to set him up on dates. Lan Wangji declines.
He works, he has two pet rabbits, he cooks, and he reads. His world less bright without Wei Ying.

He works, he has two pet rabbits, he cooks, and he reads. His world less bright without Wei Ying.
13 years later when his brother offers to set him up on a date Lan Wangji agrees. Not that he’s truly feeling that
he can move on just that maybe for a moment, a few hours, he wouldn’t feel the crushing pain of loss.
He dresses casual, a sweater and slacks. They are going to a dinner. Lan Wangji driving himself agreeing to meet at the restaurant. No way was he going home with this man.

His date, Su Shi, was decent in appearance but in no way compared to Wei Ying. Lan Wangji would feel bad about comparing the man to his ex because it’s not fair, however his personality was appalling.
He was arrogant. Talked out his ass claiming to understand things he clearly
He was arrogant. Talked out his ass claiming to understand things he clearly
did not. He was rude to Lan Wangji not only cutting him off to speak but snarky with the waitstaff. As if this show of posturing was impressive to Lan Wangji in some manner.

Their waiter, a teenager named Wen Yuan had been very attentive. He smiled and was polite, offering
diet substitutions for Lan Wangji that Su Shi just laughed at. He snapped his fingers to get the boys attention as he walked past and even yelled when the bill came that there was a charge for his drink.
Lan Wangji had enough. The tremble of Wen Yuans lip as the boy stood there
Lan Wangji had enough. The tremble of Wen Yuans lip as the boy stood there
had set Lan Wangji stark angry.
“Shut up.”
Su Shi looked at Lan Wangji, indignation written all over his face. “Excuse me?”
“You will not speak to him like that. You shouldn’t speak to anyone like that. You have been nothing but rude since the moment you sat at this table.

Nothing will come from this so please do us both a favor and leave. I will pay the bill since the $2 difference in drinks was too much for you.”
Lan Wangji hands his card to the waiter, Wen Yuan hurrying away from their table. He should have said something sooner. He felt bad
Lan Wangji hands his card to the waiter, Wen Yuan hurrying away from their table. He should have said something sooner. He felt bad
for the boy, no one deserves to be yelled at like he was, truly for only doing his job.
Lan Wangji sighed then glared. “Why are you still in front of me? Leave.”
Su Shi gawked at him. Opening and closing his mouth multiple times as if he couldn’t decide what he wanted to

“Maybe you should hurry since it’s raining.” Lan Wangji said monotone.

“Maybe you should hurry since it’s raining.” Lan Wangji said monotone.
Su Shi seemed to snap back to the present, throwing his napkin on the table in a huff. “I didn’t want
to be with your boring ass anyways!” Storming towards the front door.
With him gone, Lan Wangji actually felt he could breathe for the first time that night.
“Um here is your card back sir. Thank you,”Wen Yuan spoke shyly.
“No. I should have said something sooner I apologize.”

“No. I should have said something sooner I apologize.”
Lan Wangji got up to leave after, it was nearly closing time and only a few people remained still eating. Getting to the front door someone rushed in nearly crashing into Lan Wangji.
“Sorry,” the man said in a rush and ran inside.
Lan Wangji was going to leave until he heard
“Sorry,” the man said in a rush and ran inside.
Lan Wangji was going to leave until he heard
a sniffle. Turning back, the man who had almost collided with him was holding Wen Yuan. The boy had silent tears on his cheeks and Lan Wangji felt awful.
He had no reason to but Lan Wangji couldn’t pull himself to look away or leave. Just watching the interaction, hoping for
He had no reason to but Lan Wangji couldn’t pull himself to look away or leave. Just watching the interaction, hoping for
a moment to apologize. Until the man turned to look at him, a few feet separating them. His hair in a long pony tail, black feathered cascading down his back. Face unmistakable.
“Wei Ying?” Lan Wangji whispered.
The sound of his name had a semblance of recognition cross his
“Wei Ying?” Lan Wangji whispered.
The sound of his name had a semblance of recognition cross his
ex-husbands face. A second later it turned to pure rage. He pushed Wen Yuan behind him and stomped to Lan Wangji.
“How dare you be rude to my son! You made him cry. His first job! Are you really such a shitty person now that you’d berate a teenager!”
“Baba no!” Wen Yuan was
“How dare you be rude to my son! You made him cry. His first job! Are you really such a shitty person now that you’d berate a teenager!”
“Baba no!” Wen Yuan was
pulling Wei Ying back. “Not him. The person he was eating with.”
The anger that had fueled Wei Ying melted and in its place was pain. “Oh. Your date then?”
Lan Wangji nodded then spoke quickly. “A failed blind date. First one since…” he didn’t need to fill in the rest.

Since the day Wei Ying ripped out his heart.
“I shouldn’t have stayed, your partner must be waiting for you both. I’m glad to see you’ve been well.” Lan Wangji said and meant it.
“I’m not with anyone.”

Maybe they are no longer together? He clearly moved on from Lan Wangji.

“Would you like to sit with me for a bit? I’m waiting till he’s off work to take him home but
if you’re not too busy.”
Lan Wangji had two choices here. One that could change the rest of his life and another that could keep him on the same miserable path.
He pulled out a chair and sat, gesturing for Wei Ying to do the same.

Wei Wuxian sat on top of the building and waited. Nothing specific, he was just staring. Looking. Wishing and hoping and praying that he’d be noticed again.

abandonment.

Things had gotten too risky and when Lan Zhan’s life was threatened, it was an easy choice to leave. Wei Wuxian would rather live in a world where Lan Zhan exists even if they could never be together.
The absolute rage and hell fire that would rise from the
depths of this world if Lan Zhan had been taken from him. Ha, Wei Wuxian let go of that thought.
Even in 13 years, Lan Zhan had only become more stunning with age. Wei Wuxian on the other hand hadn’t changed at all.
Thus the curses of immortality he supposed.

“Yo,” he said
over his shoulder. Not bothering to look back, knowing very well his brother was there. And about to yell at him.
“This is creepy.” Jiang Cheng sat next to him. “You still do this after 13 years?”
Wei Wuxian huffed. “No. It’s not like that. I’m just making sure he’s okay.”
“This is creepy.” Jiang Cheng sat next to him. “You still do this after 13 years?”

Jiang Cheng shook his head. “You show up at his jobs, you have ward protections over his house and his family’s house. You might as well paint a target on his back and say open season.”
Wei Wuxian bit the inside of his cheek even as his hand twitched for his dagger.

opened and closed with agitation no doubt Jiang Cheng could pick up on it.

the fact that you’re letting the person you’re sworn to protect walk around freely. I-“
Wei Wuxian had one hand at his brothers throat. Squeezing hard enough for the average person to have been dead immediately. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, neither of them were average.

reading while he ate. He’s so pretty. Even without being fated anyone would agree that Lan Zhan is pretty.

The fact that demons have a fated mate to begin with is just a sick joke to begin with. For one, to knowingly be with a demon would condemn their mate. Sure they gain immortality and heal quicker and get some of the same abilities but their lives are tied to that

For two, demons are possessive jealous and selfish creatures. They can’t walk away from something they want. Jiang Cheng was right, Wei

So now he watches over Lan Zhan. Makes sure his (ex) husband is safe and no other supernaturals come sniffing around for what isn’t theirs.

An unrealized angel is rare, but not unheard of. At some point, they are told or figure it out one way or another. Lan Zhan just never did.
It wasn’t until he left that Wei Wuxian learned /why/ that was. Only to solidify the reason he had to stay away.

‘Not all demons are bad. Not all angels are good.’
Words from his past ringing louder than ever. His mothers voice, fading.

So why had his husband divorced him? Because Wei Ying was a demon. The best way to protect one’s
mate was to mark them as such. They became durable or whatever else Wei Ying had said. So much was being said Lan Wangji thought his head would spin. But the basic understanding was this -
To mark a mate you have to go into hell. Lan Wangji is an angel so he doesn’t /need/ the
To mark a mate you have to go into hell. Lan Wangji is an angel so he doesn’t /need/ the
mark for immortality purposes however there are ways to kill immortals or injure them enough so they couldn’t be put back together again. The mark would link them, if he was ever in danger Wei Ying would know immediately…
But angels can’t go into hell. To do so would be a call
But angels can’t go into hell. To do so would be a call
for Heaven and hell to clash (basically the apocalypse). Which Lan Wangji thought was rather dramatic until his brother gave him that same guilty look again.
He’d known. When Wei Ying and him started dating, at their wedding, at their divorce… Lan Xichen had known all of this.
He’d known. When Wei Ying and him started dating, at their wedding, at their divorce… Lan Xichen had known all of this.
“If this issue is just that I can’t be marked why can’t we just… do that?” Lan Wangji was trying to find a work around. A way for him to finally have Wei Ying back.
Even with everything, if there was a chance.

… let’s just say there is a punishment for the loser and it ends with their species no longer existing.” Wei Ying shuddered. “And that’s not something you can hide from or control Lan Zhan. It’s more like poof, gone.”
Oh. Well then, regardless that would only buy them /some/
Oh. Well then, regardless that would only buy them /some/
time together. No matter what they would be drawn to do it. Wei Ying had kept them apart hurting himself hurting them both, for Lan Wangji’s own fathers errors.

“What exactly was the curse?”
This time when his brother looked at him, there were tears in his eyes. “To only
love once is the nature of an angel but the punishment for what our father did was that we will never be able to keep the person we love.”

When being
tucked into bed, Lan Wangji’s mother would sweep his hair off his face and tell him stories of fantasy beings. Not all of them were fantasy. She’d said ‘don’t ever make a deal and if you do listen very closely to what you are agreeing to’.

“The time frame differs each time but he will die.” His brothers voice wavers at the end. The knowing or rather, unknowing of the person you love dying over and over and over again.

Lan Wangji felt sick. Stuck. In a cycle of wall after wall blocking him from just existing
