There's got to be a way to bring back Wen Ning's consciousness, Wei Wuxian knows, and if he can't do it himself, then maybe Lan Wangji can help. Unfortunately for Lan Wangji and his suffering heart, he would do nearly anything for Wei Wuxian. Wen Ning did not get a say, because that's the root of the whole problem.
This fic was inspired by wayofcloudbrain’s tweet here, and the title is from real_ghost’s tweet in the same conversation.
The finished piece is a gift to deadbeatrefrain, with much love and appreciation for all our conversations about writing and inflicting awful things on our favourite characters. I thought this was going to be a tiny little mood-piece, but it just kept growing and has ended up with its own particular form, which is hopefully not without its charms!
