20 parts Complete MatureVengeful Spirit!Wei Wuxian AU.
Put simply, if you all remember the time Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning were on the way to Yanli and Zixuan's marriage, he was shot down by several Jin's, going against given orders. Wen Ning went into a rage, killing most of the Jin's BUT Zixuan lived after Wen Ning heard the spluttering of Wei Ying, Zixuan followed him too.
Wei Ying was killed, but no funeral was held, except the Wens, but they weren't allowed to bury his body as it was taken and burned; hence almost everyone, including Lan Wangji, forgot about him. The remaining Wens were killed, except Wen Yuan - who'll come in later -, Wangji found a new lover, Jiang Cheng continued his Sect Leader duties.
The only ones to remember are Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan, Wen Yuan, and surprisingly, Lan Xichen, who is rather disappointed in his younger brother, and Lan Qiren who, despite not having the greatest relationship with Wei Wuxian, had a small amount of appreciation for staying with his nephew and his expansive knowledge. He will not, however, admit to even slightly missing the boy when asked by the older nephew.
During what seems like a relatively normal day, objects go flying around and cryptic messages appear in an unidentifiable crimson liquid, scrawled and messy. How will those who forgot react, let alone those who remember?
-----
Most interactions will take place through Inquiry.
Fluff? Very little. A somewhat fatherly/brotherly bond between Wei Ying with Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen.
Angst? Most Definitely.
