when you fail so hard to convince your brother to come home (you both cried btw) that it somehow turns into agreeing to put on a show to make everyone else think he defected (you won't be able to support/protect him any longer) and you literally have to take the deepest breath possible to steady yourself as you leave him to this hell he is trying to turn into a new home (without you!!!!) to go prepare for the fake fight:

I'm a little bit insane about how in novel canon the whole xiyao ending where Jin Guangyao wants to die with Xichen, who accepts, which then makes jgy change his mind and pushes him away at the last second isn't actually explicit. A lot of adaptations chose to make it so but in the novel this is all VERY up for interpretation.
Here's what actually happens in the text: Lan xichen stabs jgy, jgy moves away from lan xichen, xichen follows him, wwx realizes jgy is about to open the coffin and calls "watch out!" to lan xichen. Jgy unseals nmj, pushes xichen away, nmj kills jgy and they are both dragged into the coffin which is sealed again.
Here's what wei wuxian, our narrator, thinks is happening: Jin Guangyao wanted to lead lan xichen to his death out of revenge for stabbing him. Lan Xichen, unaware, simply followed Jin Guangyao to try and stop him from getting away. Wei wuxian's warning came too late, but Jin Guangyao- for an unknown reason- changed his mind at the last second and pushed lan xichen out of danger before lan xichen had any idea of what was going on.
Here's what most fans as well as the teams behind several adpatations think is happening: Jin Guangyao leads Xichen to nmj's coffin to die with him, Xichen accepts, because of this acceptance, proof xichen still cares for him, Jin Guangyao pushes him out of harm's way. Wei Wuxian just doesn't get that gay people who aren't him or Lan Wangji exist.
Here's what ALSO MIGHT BE HAPPENING: Jin guangyao wants to die in a different way than he is currently dying. Maybe he's afraid of what'll happen to his body after his death like he was scared for his mother's, maybe he wants to confront nmj one last time now that there's nothing more for him to lose, maybe - if he can't take her body with him- he'd at least like his final resting place to be where he buried his mother. Lan Xichen thinks he's trying to get away and follows but Jin Guangyao, who despite everything doesn't want him to die, pushes him away. Xichen doesn't know what happened until it's already happened. What he would've wanted if he had known remains up in the air.
Or, alternatively: Jin Guangyao's reasons are as above, but unbeknowst to Wei Wuxian, Xichen DOES know what jgy is about to do and either misinterprets this as an invitation to all die together, or inidividually decides he, too, is done, and wants to join his sworn brothers in the grave. To Jin Guangyao this has nothing to do with Lan Xichen, and he still doesn't want him to die, so he pushes him away against Lan Xichen's wishes.
Every single one of these interpretations is unhinged and they are all supported by the original text. It's like a choose your own adventure of tragic gay endings.

Summary: Wei Wuxian keeps expecting Lan Zhan to go home.
Kay's comments: Very short and fluffy story where Lan Zhan stays in the Burial Mounds with Wei Ying and uses his little brother powers to get Lan Xichen to help them. Really enjoyed it. Sometimes you just need a sweet fix-it with no angst.
Excerpt: Wei Wuxian keeps expecting Lan Zhan to go home. When the first cold rain of autumn hits and the Burial Mounds gets very damp. When the first round of potatoes rot in the fields. He has somewhere to go, why won’t he leave?
Lan Zhan just stays and stays. Makes horrible bland food when it’s his turn in the kitchen. Goes down to the entrance to placidly talk down his brother. When did Lan Zhan get so calm?
pov wei wuxian, canon divergence, burial mounds settlement days, fix-it, everybody lives, happy ending, fluff, sweet, domestic fluff, getting together, marriage proposal
