Summary: Lan Wangji had not wanted to come at all. Kay's comments: Oh, I absolutely loved the vibes of this story, it was so atmospheric! Lan Wangji gets invited to a feast in Lanling where a demonic cultivator was dragged in to be punished, as his last wish, he asked to pray and he prayed to Wei Wuxian, who promptly appeared as a freshly formed martial god and oh, I had goosebumps! And I really loved that for Wangxian. Excerpt: The air in the room chilled fast enough to make his skin pebble. The incense smoke curled, not toward the ceiling, but inward toward itself. Slow at first, then quickly. Thicker and darker, then with a grinding, squeaking noise like sand being crushed under a pestle and with some deeper, empty note like the aftermath of a scream of horror, it took form. Wei Ying. Wei WuXian. Robes black as night and decorated with blood red embroidery in shapes that made his eyes ache to behold. Blinking away tears that might have been the same reflexive action as looking at the sun, might have been the burn of that defiant, stubborn love given hope, Lan Wangji tore his eyes away from those impossible designs. Looking up, he saw Wei WuXian's hair was held back in twists and braids by jewelry made of what was unmistakably human bone. The top part of a skull was pinned to the back of his head, the straight lines of a forearm bone spearing through a twist of hair, the curve of a rib and a thousand tiny fingerbones and teeth dangling where beads and jewels would be. His face was white as snow, but radiant as the full moon, the glow extending out into a heavenly aura. A young martial god descended from heaven.
