Summary: Lan Huan is looking for his mother and brother. He cannot find them. Kay's comments: I really love this canon-divergence story! Madam Lan lives and on one day, the guards outside her house are distracted, she takes the chance and rusn away from the Cloud Recesses with Lan Wangji. Years down the line, Wei Wuxian meets Lan Wangji, who's a mysterious rogue cultivator, and of course immediately hits it of with him and gives him the chance to meet with his brother again. Really cute, but also really sad on Lan Xichen's front. Excerpt: “A-Huan could you do me a favour?” Lan Huan nodded eagerly, always happy to help. Her expression seemed even weirder now, but he didn’t comment on it. She stood up and went over to a drawer, taking something from it before returning to him with an almost-smile. She handed him something that looked like a letter. “Will you go out to the person guarding the door and explain to him that I want this to be delivered to the sect leader as soon as possible. Tell him it is very important,” Lan Huan nodded along, “also maybe you could ask about the other disciple? The one that got hurt? Just to make sure he is okay.” “Yes, a-niang,” he said, beaming up at her when his reply brought a smile to her face. “Good boy. Remember; a-niang loves you very, very much. Sometimes, however, decisions that are hard must be made, which I am sure you will understand when you are older. But I do love you, so, so much a-Huan.” “A-Huan loves you too, a-niang!” “I know,” she smiled, but her eyes didn’t look happy, “will you hug your brother before you go. I am sure he will miss you.” “Don’t worry, a-Zhan, I will be right back,” he said, tip-toing to reach his brother even though his mother was bending down so he could reach him. He hugged him tightly – or as tight as he dared, because a-Zhan was very, very small – before giving him a small kiss on his forehead like he had seen a-niang do many times.
