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!!

once again, i am thinking about how they're literally the funniest people alive:
in the face of serious situations, what do they have? JOKES
bbc merlin - 03x06 The Changeling
only just about a singular braincell between them and it's mostly used for comedy (not that i'm complaining)

...I was on guarantee, this wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise, though, was getting her at 23 pity! First 10 pull, bay-beee~
So I decided to try my luck on her weapon. You know. Like a chump. Because now I had some pulls in reserve.
68 pity later, and I am a FOOL.
I should have known-- I should have known. I always get bows!! orz
Okay, okay. I can redeem this, I thought. I don't have Lyney. Heck, my only pyro archer is Amber! I can try for Lyney!
...I don't know what I expected, but I'm all out of primos now.

!!! Thank you for the clarification! I never really understood what happened, although to be fair back then I wasn't ready to hear anything other than whether it would be okay or not.
Gosh that really does explain a lot of things back then!
