3zun age reversal AU in which jgy is the eldest, lxc is… still in the middle (lmao), nmj is the youngest, and everything still hurts _(:3」∠)_
the thought of lxc finding out that his elder sworn brother basically murdered his younger sworn brother is so fucking painful to me. because in this au, he not only trusted jgy as a friend, he also admired him as his wise da-ge he once loved & looked to for guidance 🙃
also: lxc becoming nmj’s sworn brother in the hopes that he can support him thru dealing w the sabre spirit, only to slowly watch him get worse and worse until he qi deviates - and for years afterwards, blaming himself for not being able to protect his younger sworn brother like he’d promised 😭😫
It was impossible to get out of my head the fact that this really happened at some point in the novel, and you can’t change my mind. This took me only 5 hours and I’m so proud of myself
