A Silence Loud Enough to Burn

In the middle of the Sunshot Campaign, Wei Wuxian finds a secret, agonizing confession tucked inside Lan Wangji's blood-stained sleeve. He expects a wartime map-but finds a piece of Hanguang-jun's soul instead.

A lost letter exposes Lan Wangji's heart, while a terrible revelation exposes Wei Wuxian's empty golden core.

With the Jin sect closing in, marriage becomes their only shield. But while Lan Wangji is ready to stand against the world to protect him, Wei Wuxian is trapped by his own insecurities, feeling utterly unworthy of the man who will give up everything to stand by his side. In the shadow of the Sunshot Campaign, this is the story of two people navigating a war on the outside-and the long journey toward healing within.

Author's note...

Happy 7th anniversary to The Untamed!
To celebrate, I am finally posting my very first fanfiction. This is a Sunshot Campaign canon divergence fic that dives deep into the angst, secrets, and raw devotion between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji during the war. It will be a 30-chapter story in total, and I plan to update with 1 chapter every week!

​Quick guide for this fic:
​Italics = internal thoughts.
​Bold = Lan Wangji's written words in the letter.
​Bold & Italics = Wei Wuxian actively reading the letter words back to himself or Lan Wangji will remember his own words.

​I am dropping Chapters 1 and 2 together today to get the ball rolling, so make sure to hit "Next Chapter" at the bottom! Thank you so much for reading, and since it's my first time posting, I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
