Life is Filled with Angst

Burial Mounds

Author's Note: Brain, at 2 a.m: Let's write about WWX's complicated relationship with Burial Mounds and his potential response to when the "anniversary" of his death comes up.

Me: Shut up brain! Let me sleep!.... But that is a good idea

With that being said, I'm going to be writing about 100-200 words of drabbles whenever I get inspiration which is just pure angst. I'm warning you now.

"When I woke up again after thirteen years, I wanted nothing more than to come back here," Wei Wuxian admits softly, looking at the remnants of the burnt houses with fond yet sad eyes.

"The three months I spent here trapped was.. horrifying."

The Yiling Patriarch shuddered, arms curling around himself as he valiantly tried to block the memories. But it was not use. Talking about the past always brought this back.

"But then, I spent 2 years here with the Wen Remnants... and suddenly Burial Mounds became synonymous with... safety. It became... home."

Here, Wei Wuxian smiled wryly as if the irony was not lost on him.

"I.. Burial Mounds is.. both my home and worst nightmare."

Red gleaming eyes met 4 surprised ones and the junior quartet couldn't help but freeze on the spot. Wei Ying smiled, touched at how considerate his juniors were. So kind of them to not wear their sect colors. Wei Wuxian truly doesn't know how he would have reacted to it if they did.  [Terribly.]

After all, it was the 14th anniversary of the Burial Mounds Invasion this year. A year of tragedy for Wei Wuxian.

Author's Note: 1) I'm still not over how 'okay' WWX was once he was resurrected, like dude, come on, at least show some sadness. [On this note, I think that the Untamed did a much better job at showing WWX's distress and avoidance to his past]

2) WWX probably didn't get much time to mourn for what happened and so, when he would settle down, he would get to think of everything. He also probably wouldn't like the reminders of the 4 great sects leading the siege, so...

3) The juniors are absolutely adorable

P.S. No-one can convince me otherwise that WWX didn't develop Stockholm Syndrome, in this case, with Burial Mounds.
P.S.S. Feel free to request anything angsty(ish) in the comments or on my Tumblr and I'll write them out!
