Summary
Lan Wangji does not think in words. He thinks in colors. Music. Impressions. Patterns. He knows words because he has to, uses them to convey his meaning in a narrow and restricted world, but they are not his medium.
His mother was the smell of gentians, their lovely blue color, the quiet of the Jingshi. A hint of cold, now and forevermore.
His brother is the warmth of golden sunlight on deep brown wood. Soft, lilting notes. Smiling eyes.
His uncle is the smell of ink, the bare white of a brand new scroll, the articulate brushstrokes of calligraphy.
His guqin is his home. They are one and the same.
His life is peaceful. Ordered.
Or so it used to be.

Summary
Wei Ying’s voice drifts up the cliff face like smoke. “Lan Zhan.”
Lan Wangji doesn’t answer, only tightens his grip. If he held him any harder, the bones of his wrist would splinter.
“Let me go.” The look on his face is pleading. Lan Wangji can’t bear it. He does so anyway.
He doesn’t shut his eyes this time. He won’t. If Wei Ying must die this way night after night, he deserves, at the very least, a witness.
✦ ✧ ✦
On a cliff at the edge of Nightless City, Wei Wuxian let go.
At least, he tried to. Lan Wangji, plagued by strange dreams of him, suspects that things may not be so simple.

Summary
Because his heart is in a hotel room halfway around the world without him, because his sister is dead and his brother is as good as gone, because it’s beginning to look like it’ll be a month and a half until his next paying contract, because it’s winter and his hands itch and his head aches and he thinks that if he sits still for any longer he will probably die, Wei Ying decides one night that he might as well start a garden.
