Get into danmei for cute gay people, stay as your forced to watch every part of your favorite characters life fall apart knowing that no matter what you wish you already know the ending, no matter how heartbeaking because this has already happened and you are simply being told the horrible past.
Summary: Lan Sizhui knows his parents are happy, but he wants to fix things so they never had to suffer. Against his better judgement, he goes back in time, though he isn't sure if things will turn out the way he expected.
Kay's comments: Oh, I really liked this short time-travel story! Sizhui travels back in time because he wants Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian to live a happier life, because they deserve only the best. It's got a bit of an open ending that I actually really enjoyed and I loved the subtle changes Sizhui made.
Excerpt: He followed his baba silently as he roamed, doing his best to stay out of sight, but eventually, he was caught. He lost sight of Wei Ying and suddenly he was backed against a tree.
"Who are you and why do you keep following me?!"
Sizhui threw his hands up, "I swear! I mean no harm!"
"If you mean no harm, than I expect you to tell me who you are and what you want."
"My name is... my name is Lan Sizhui. Birth name... Wen Yuan."
"...what?" He looked at him in confusion.
With an unsure expression, Sizhui explained everything to Wei Wuxian, unsure if he'd believe him or not.
