the explanations and backstory to my wen xu/wei wuxian ficlet "hold me till the end" archiveofourown.org/works/35172502
the tl is a bit more stretched out and altered, i.e. it's a few years after the lectures that cloud recesses is attacked
nearly everyone was ofc 15 or 16 during the lectures, and wei wuxian falls in love with lan wangji, who refuses to acknowledge his own feelings
