    Summary

    After that Xichen puts Shuoyue away, set respectfully on one of the few bare shelves inside. He keeps Hensheng with him. A spiral of cold light around his forearm. A belt of clear water at his waist.

    Lan forms are not much use with the soft sword. Some of them can be adapted—he saw A-Yao do as much. But Xichen is long and lanky and strong. Hensheng is coiled and sharp and savage.

    It expects something of Xichen. It is waiting.

    In seclusion, Xichen picks up A-Yao's sword and slowly draws his ghost back into the world, into a body.

    Summary

    In his first life he’d been covered in scars. Skinned knees and split knuckles and nicks from his own sword, whoops, not to mention gruesome shiny ripples that had been dog teeth in his calf, and gouges across his left collarbone and thin lines from swords and knives and that one arrow from a wrestling match at one of the Meishan Yu cousin weddings when he’d accused somebody of cheating at archery, the Wen brand, and the short, thick, ugly worm of a scar straight down his center where he watched his core leave him.

    Wei Wuxian’s body had been a topography of scars. This body—this new body, the physical form that had been Mo Xuanyu’s and through a twist of really strong terrible magic was his now—only had six scars. Four from the curse. One from Jin Ling. Now this one, this stupid little scar, because he tripped into a pile of scythes.

     

    Wei Wuxian leaves Gusu and Lan Zhan, but alone out in the world without a mission, without a mystery to solve, he doesn't know what his purpose is anymore--and he needs one. So while he tries to find it, he starts recreating his old scars. Because he's good at making healthy choices.

    Summary

    A small, wry smile bends Lan Xichen’s mouth and his gaze slides away. “I have learned much about myself this past year, watching my brother suffer and unable to help him, watching you pretend your father doesn’t intend keep you collared forever. And the most salient thing I’ve learned is that when it comes down to love and death, I take after my mother.”

     
    Jin Guangyao has a problem and Lan Xichen fixes it, unexpectedly and without asking permission.

    Summary

    There are things he wishes he had not had to do these months in Nightless City, but they’d bought him the information Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue had needed. His hands were already stained. None of that makes him tremble.

    It is Baxia swinging at him again when he blinks, that arc of light, cutting the world in two.
     

    Meng Yao is having a very rough day, so Lan Xichen gives him a bath. Among other things.

    Your body is an instrument, A-Yao.
    Yes, it is. But even the Gusu Lan used their instruments to kill.
