    Summary

    Wei Ying usually comes over late. Well. Wei Ying usually comes over late for this.

    They don't really talk about it. Oh, Wei Ying talks--he talks ceaselessly while in bed: murmurs of approval, breathless requests, exhaled appreciations. But they never talk about why.

    Or, Lan Zhan goes along with things until something happens that forces him to make a choice.

    Summary

    Da-ge would have been the first to tell everyone in the hall that not everyone is from so genteel a family to afford a soul-calming ceremony. Not everyone is born the same way.

    Not everyone leaves the same way, either.

    Summary

    “We’re in this together, you know,” Wei Wuxian says. “You’re dead. I used to be dead. We're both tolerated and incredibly unwelcome here. We both annoy the same people, as far as I can tell. I’ve built relationships on less. Let’s work this out.”

    But again, there’s no response.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji always says the same thing when they’re preparing to leave Gusu: “If you want to stop anywhere, tell me.”

    “Hm?” Wei Wuxian always says, still surprised by the suggestion. He is, after all, only a marginally more acceptable dinner guest than he used to be. “Where would we stop?”

    Yet every time they travel, the number of unexpected detours only increases.

    (Or: seven nights on the road.)
