    Summary

    “If only one could root one’s self in here among the grass and stones and do something worth doing” —Gaudy Night, Dorothy L. Sayers

     

    "So, what sort of inquiry takes four people to conduct?" Wen Qing asked, when they were seated.

     

    To her surprise, the others looked to Jiang Cheng, who met her gaze for the first time. He looked sharper than she remembered, as if grief and his change in station had honed his edges.

     

    "The others are here as witnesses. I'm here with a proposal." He took a deep breath and carefully clasped his hands on the table between them.

     

    In the aftermath of the Sunshot Campaign, Jiang Cheng offers the Wens another choice.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian attempts to Set Right What Once Went Wrong by sending his consciousness back in time; in true Wei Wuxian fashion his inventions work, but with some very unintended consequences.

    1. *yakety sax arrangement for guqin and xiao* - the casting of the spell itself, played for laughs. Wei Wuxian POV, some XuanLi, more WangXian. Complete.
    2. second verse, same as the first - Less cracky and more serious, explores the fallout of the characters being displaced in time and a number of dead people being alive again. Varying POV, multiple ships. Complete.
    3. coda: an independent passage, at the end of a composition, to bring it to a satisfactory close - checking back in with the original Wei Wuxian, wondering what exactly went wrong with his beautiful spell. Complete.

    now I greet you from the other side
    of sorrow and despair
    with a love so vast and shattered
    it will meet you everywhere
