imagine being the two most legendary martial artists in the jianghu who fought each other at sea in a massive battle and disappeared from the world, and ten years later in hiding when you find each other again everyone is predicting that history will repeat itself, but actually you two are just arguing in the woods about each other's current lifestyle choices while radiating the biggest tired bitchy divorcee energy. alexa play no children by the mountain goats

here's the thing about li xiangyi: the one person who broke him was shan gudao. that man died and his whole sense of self, his worldview, his will to live, all vanished with him. he threw away his beliefs, his leadership, his peace treaty, his comrades, his friendship, his health, his life, he burned his whole life down for revenge. he woke up as a ghost and walked the next ten years as a person without heart or soul. he only briefly regained the will to live when he understood shan gudao left behind a son. li xiangyi broke so many heart, li lianhua was sincerely and deeply loved, and it still didn't matter compared to the loss of shan gudao. a ratty disgusting man. a man who wanted him dead. a man who didn't deserve one second of li xiangyi's time. a man who tried to ruin his life. so what i am really saying is that "The Tortured Poets Department" is about li lianhua's one-sided ten year obsession with shan gudao

MLC Amnesia Fic (What's Sealed Away)
It was one thing to know what his qi felt like in his meridians–although he didn’t know what his neili was called, only that it had a name–and to know that, if he started running his sword forms, his arms and legs would guide him where his mind couldn’t. Muscle memory felt familiar. Reliable. But this? This free-floating knowledge, not connected with any event, any memory, any movement or motion? Just facts appearing in his mind? Assertions he was supposed to accept unquestioningly as truth? With no memory of how he learned them? Nothing to prove their validity?
He clenched his hand around his dao’s scabbard. There had to be a better way than this.
NOTES:
I had a ton of feels about the differences between DFS and a-Fei, different types of memory and what is and isn’t lost in the sheer mindfuckery that is amnesia (very loosely inspired by my own experiences with amnesia), and a desire to explain some of the weird behaviors in the amnesia arc (why a-Fei spends so much time away from everyone else in the Mountains Red arc–-which LLH justifies with a lie about a-Fei sleeping instead, why LLH never tells FDB that it’s dangerous and painful for a-Fei to get his memories back, etc.), and thus this fic was born.
TW/CW: amnesia, body horror (finding the mind control bug), panic attack (to skip the panic attack, stop at “he pressed his shaking hands against the sheets” and start again at “His pulse finally started to slow.”)
Thanks to @momosandlemonsoda for being an amazing beta reader!!

* family time being with or without your siblings if you have them, or just forced time with your parents. Scheduled out being like Monday you do this together, Tuesday you do this, etc. You have one maybe two free nights a week. If you don't want to participate that's too bad. You don't get to say no without it becoming a thing. Like forced bonding time. Regardless of whether or not it was enjoyable, was it mandated?
Reblog for a bigger sample size if you can, I'm deeply curious

the thing about gay bdsm dynamics is they will make explicit what is implicit in normative cisheterosexual dynamics and then those complicit in cisheterosexuality will act all scandalized about seeing themselves in the funhouse mirror

Someone has to leave first.
It is always him.
It will always be him.
(Wouldn't it be nice, to be the one to walk away? To say, I'm done. I am my own person. I exist apart from you.)
(You try. It's an ache like pressing on a bruise.)
(You could exist apart from him.)
(You don't want to.)
(At least if you watch his shadow fade into the distance, you can see the path you must take to follow him again.)
(At least, if you watch him go, you won't feel the turning of your own back, a betrayal of yourself just as much as of him.)
Someone has to leave first.
It is always him.
You will always let it be him.
