Summary
Sprawled on his porch was a bare figure of a man.
A pair of white wings spread across the porch, feathers glowing faintly under the moonlight. A radiant halo was suspended above his head, shining in the darkness of the night.
Red eyes – confused and unfocused – blinked up at him, seeing the world for the very first time.
The one where the Gun Devil never killed the Hayakawa family, Aki lives an ordinary life of a university student and an exemplary elder brother until he finds the Angel Devil respawn on his porch

Summary
“I’ve lived here my whole life, too, you know? But I know of the sky and the sea, of the sun and the moon. I bet you would have loved them.”
Something in Dazai's chest squeezed. It was so strange to think that the things he always took for granted, that were just there, must be a miracle to the creature trapped in the darkness.
“There are the stars in the sky, too. When it’s dark.” He allowed his hand to unfurl, and the boy watched it in wonder, his cold fingers tracing the lines on Dazai’s palms, as if studying them, committing them to memory. Then, this absurd creature placed his own hand against him, as if comparing.
“I would like to show them to you one day,” he said quietly.
Dazai didn’t believe he could, didn’t know if they would ever see the stars, or both rot here forever.
Or — Dazai finds a kindred soul in the tortured eyes of a boy stitched together into a semblance of a human being.

The Ruby in the Rough by stiltonbasket

Summary
Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.
“They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”
This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.
In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

The Nice, Broad Road: Why Wei Wuxian Isn’t A Self-Sacrificial Idiot by songofthesky
Fandoms: 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
10 May 2024
Tags
Summary
A series of metas about why Wei Wuxian isn’t, in fact, overly self-sacrificial* or an idiot — because being willing to put oneself in necessary danger to protect others isn’t the same as always throwing yourself in front of the sword (or the Wen iron — we’ll analyse that). Covering:
1. The reason behind Wei Wuxian’s actions which put him in danger, and why they don’t stem from a place of insecurity;
2. Wei Wuxian’s thought process in a situation where others are in danger, and how this alongside his intelligence and capability allows him to act in his preferred manner in such a situation; and,
3. How Wei Wuxian doesn’t reject help, and how he doesn’t consider himself as unworthy of it.
*Here referring to someone who consistently puts themselves in grave danger to help others, often as a first instinct, which often comes from a place of low self-worth and/or low self-esteem.

Wei Wuxian and Narrative Agency by songofthesky
Fandoms: 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
05 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
An exploration on how MDZS’ narrative treats Wei Wuxian’s agency, and how despite all the tragic events in his life, this tragedy does not define him. Covering:
1. How the omission of periods where Wei Wuxian has little agency creates the impression that agency is important to his character (and how that impression is supported by text), and how the tragedy in his life enhances rather than diminishes that agency;
2. Wei Wuxian’s own attitude towards tragedy in his life, and how it’s a choice to not let tragedy define him (featuring an exploration of Jin Guangyao and Jiang Cheng as his foils); and,
3. How what’s shown and omitted is influenced by this attitude Wei Wuxian holds.
Here, narrative agency will be considered the ability of a character to meaningfully influence the story they’re in.

Summary
Despite what Jiang Wanyin and his Sect had done, despite everything, baba never once cursed them as they did the Yiling Patriarch's name. Mourn as baba did for Sizhui's family, for the family that had become baba's own in all but name, never once did he look upon the cultivation world in vengeance. Instead, every breath, every shred of life in baba's failing body had been dedicated to keeping Sizhui safe, fed and loved, as if the slightest speck of grudge towards the world would have tainted his own boundless love towards Sizhui.
But Sizhui is alone in the world now, and he is not his baba - No one else is like baba, and Sizhui supposes that was what had sealed his father's fate, in a world where one is demanded to serve mere ideas of righteousness and honor rather than the people.
And so upon seeing the purple robes amidst the crowd, Wei Sizhui decides that perhaps it would not hurt to start his path of vengeance a little closer to home.
