    Summary

    This wasn’t supposed to happen.
    He did not mean to do this, never meant for this to happen; he only ever meant to question Xue Yang, delay him, give A-Qing a head start. And now Shuanghua is buried deep within Xue Yang’s sternum, where it has caused enough damage that his life-blood is now running hot down the cold steel blade, past the guard and over Xiao Xingchen’s fingers.
    “Xue Yang-” He barely recognises his own voice saying the name; a demand, a plea, a breath in the wind. “Xue Yang, you-”

    - - -

    When the confrontation with Xue Yang doesn't go according to plan, Xiao Xingchen finds himself faced with an impossible choice - to heal his sworn enemy, or to let his friend and companion of three years die. Tormented by guilt and regret, as well as the rambled confessions of a fever-ridden Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen slowly begins to piece together the truth of his life in Yi City, and tries to find a way forward.

    Summary

    When he turns back around, Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan are both walking away, Song Lan’s hand on Xiao Xingchen’s back again.

    It makes something violent and manic and red surge in Xue Yang’s chest. He wants to cut his fucking fingers off, pictures doing it right here, right now in the fucking parking lot. Maybe he’d make Song Lan eat them after.

    Maybe he’d make Xiao Xingchen.

    The only people looking at him now are doing so suspiciously, from across the parking lot. No one comes close to him, so Xue Yang lights a Newport and then texts Jin Guangyao.

     

    You know a Xiao Xingchen

     

    He only has to wait a few minutes for Jin Guangyao to text him back. I am aware of him. Why do you ask?

    Xue Yang puffs his cigarette and watches Xiao Xingchen climb into Song Lan’s car. Sorta thinking I’d like to ruin his life

    Summary

    Xiao Xingchen met his future boyfriend in an alley by a dumpster, semi-conscious and covered in blood.

    Xue Yang crashes into Xiao Xingchen's life with all the subtlety of a meteor and changes everything just as fast. And sometimes it almost feels like he's done this before.

    Maybe it's a do-over. Or maybe history is just repeating itself.

    Summary

    No fish or foul could appeal to Xingchen’s cravings, no four-legged mammal. Only one thing had satisfied Xingchen in months.

    What if Wei Wuxian had performed Empathy on Xue Yang's arm? Would he still view things the same if he saw the world through the "Devil's" eyes?
