    Summary

    Regret is often reserved for the benefit of those who have space. Space to reflect. To consider missteps in an attempt to grow. The purpose of regret is betterment.

    That’s what Jiang Cheng’s father would say to him, one of the countless times he advised Jiang Cheng to work toward self actualization, as he called it. Jiang Cheng tries not to scoff out loud, thinking back on the bullshit his father would lecture him on. All in service of betterment.

    The betterment of Jiang Cheng as a person, as a brother, as a partner, as a son, as an heir.

    To be better. To be more than what he is. To just be more.

    Because Jiang Cheng is–was–never enough for Jiang Fengmian.

    Or: Jiang Cheng’s father passes away unexpectedly, and as he plans the funeral with his family, all the trauma of his childhood feels more present than ever, destroying the tightly wound control he keeps on his emotions. It takes learning that a long held affection for Wei Wuxian and an old flame with Lan Wangji is, and always has been, reciprocated from both of them to help him through this dark and confusing time.

    Summary

    A silent plea rings in Hua Cheng's ears, a final prayer that had, against all reason, been sent to him. It had resonated with a desire with which he’s intimately familiar, one he can't quite bring himself to ignore.

    “Please don't let me leave them.”

    Or,

    Mu Qing dies, and does not rest in peace.

    Summary

    “You have no idea how long we’ve been standing here.” The new man was muffled through the thick glass window separating them. Except he wasn’t really new to Severus, the years since Severus had seen him changed his face, and broadened his shoulders. Unmistakably though, Severus Snape was making eye contact with James Potter.
    James Potter was looking at his mostly obstructed face through the curtains with zero recognition.

    OR

    The Marauders move into the house beside Severus Snape, and bring an entire fraternity with them. Severus is haunted by his past of being bullied by James, and James thinks the guy next door is hot and mysterious.
    How long can Severus live as Sebastian (The name he made up when James didn't recognize him), and how long will it take for James to chip away the cold exterior of his new neighbor and be forgiven for his past crimes?
