<blockquote>Jin Ling hadn’t thought to keep track of Wei Wuxian. Clearly that had been a mistake.</blockquote> ➤ jin ling centric. I love him.

<blockquote>In his defense—not that he needs one, of course, because he’s done nothing wrong, technically, for the most part, but if he did he’d have this one ready, just in case—Jingyi started it. Jin Ling comes up with a foolproof plan to repair his uncles' relationship. Unfortunately, his uncles can be very, very stupid.</blockquote>

➤ Series starts from the premise of Wen Qing living, and then wanders through a whole bunch of different characters. I forgot to note down anything of note about this series when I read it, but I enjoyed it. ➤ Series consists of: cranes flying west amidst the storms emerging with an unbridled heart their eyes remain clear when autumn leaves fall teach these young ones life and death's joy and grief

<blockquote>Jiang Cheng takes a few deep breaths and tries to put his life back together. This is easier said than done. Notes: As I said recently on my blog: get into a show for the gay angst, come out of it with the sibling angst, aka this is kind of the fic I came out of the series most wanting to write. Because I have, wouldn't you know it, a lot of feelings. Specifically about complicated sibling relationships and trying to fix the things you kinda broke and don't really know how to put back together, especially when you're not always sure what you even want, really, and also everyone is traumatized. So this is what happened when I took a swan dive into that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jin Ling had begun to suspect years ago that there were parts of his family history that had been crossed out; long streaks of black where Wei Wuxian had been. The truth is more like whole books being brought up from their hiding places again. Or: Jin Ling tries to figure out what family means, now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>As always, he arrives with no forewarning. One second, Lan Sizhui and the others are struggling against the hordes of resentful spirits created by some villagers’ accidental disruption of an ancient burial ground—far more spirits than had been initially reported, far more than they had been prepared for—and the next, he’s there, striding fearlessly into the mix, the sound of Chenqing piercing the air. / Or: A meditation on family and the merits of communication, courtesy of Lan Sizhui.</blockquote> ➤ mostly gen about sizhui and jin ling and wwx being faaaaaamily
