If youre still taking prompts!! Someone releases the diary of the yiling patriarch to the masses, and it becomes something like a diary of anne frank equivalent. Opinions are changed.

Instead of being oblivious about his feelings, wwx knows that he likes lwj but never does anything about it bc he’s accepted that lwj will never like him back or that he’ll never be good enough to for him. (more in next ch!)

[Posted to Ao3: weariness follows, and the infinite ache] 

Necessity, they said, was the mother of invention. 

Nie Huaisang disagreed. Genius was the root of invention, and his friend had been proof of that. Necessity was the mother of revenge. Of retribution. 

Da-ge would have said justice. 

Da-ge was not here anymore. 

Nie Huaisang was all alone now, left with nothing but a role that had been meant for great men like his father and brother. 

His father, assassinated by a man so evil he’d barely been human by the end of the war.  

His brother, murdered by a monster of a different making. One they’d trusted, let into their home and treated like family. One who still smiled at Nie Huaisang and thought him too blind to see the looming, broad-shouldered shadow that stalked its killer’s steps. 

His brother’s spirit always felt closest when Jin Guangyao was near. Even death could not stop Nie Mingjue’s overprotective hovering, it seemed. Somehow that hurt worse. 

Necessity was the mother of revenge and genius the root of invention, whether that meant talismans or planning the downfall of a monster. Nie Huaisang was not a genius. 

But Wei Wuxian had been. Before his own brutal death, anyway. Even when sequestered away in a place of nightmares, he’d been constantly creating. 

Creating, and inventing, and filling dozens of notebooks with his usual disorganized ramblings. The notebooks had been seized by the Jins after the siege of the Burial Mounds. They didn’t notice when a handful went missing from their stores, snuck out of Lanling by a resentful servant with light fingers and a grudge against Jin Guangyao. He’d been easily bought off by a stranger in the city who’d never shown his face. 

“He really was a genius,” Nie Huaisang mused, flipping through one of his dead friend’s journals in the solitude of his own personal library. 

A scoff. “Demonic cultivation is demonic cultivation.” 

“Not all of it is demonic,” he argued. “Just parts of it.” 

He looked at the contents and reconsidered. “Actually, most of it is about farming and child raising and Lan Wangji. No wonder the Jins were so pissed.” Their treasure had turned out to be worthless, after all. 

This particular journal of Wei Wuxian’s had six pages straight of complaints about Wen Qing bullying him into sleeping and eating. Lan Wangji was mentioned no less than eighty seven times. There were rabbits and a child planted next to radishes and dozens of lotus roots doodled all over the pages. A few lines of writing had been lazily scratched out-- by the looks of it, Wei Wuxian had started writing all his characters upside down and backwards. It was right before the whining about Wen Qing stabbing him to make him sleep, which suddenly made a lot more sense. 

Nie Huaisang now owned eight of Wei Wuxian’s journals, relics of a young man who’d thrown his own life away for Wens, of all things. No surprise. He’d always had his own sense of justice. 

“Justice?” His brother’s voice was full of incredulous disbelief. “A-Sang, he killed thousands.” 

Nie Huaisang’s mouth twisted stubbornly. “They attacked him first,” he muttered. 

“Oh, that’s what you’re going with? ‘They started it’?” 

“Well, they did.” 

The only response was Nie Mingjue grumbling under his breath. The familiarity of it made Nie Huaisang smile, but it was the contents of the next page that made him laugh aloud. 

I don’t know why I keep wishing Lan Zhan was here. He’d hate this place. Just think: all the resentful energy everywhere, and Hanguang-Jun farming with the rest of us! Haha can you imagine? 

Ah. Trouble is, I can imagine. He was my soulmate. Or at least I thought so.

> That’s gay. 

Wen Qing!! Stop it!! Get your own journal!! 

> You left it open on top of my medicines. You are clearly at fault. 

You--!! I didn’t leave it there, I dropped it there when you STABBED ME with your damned needles!

> Don’t get all defensive just because I saw your love letters to Lan Wangji. 

LOVE LETTERS?! You are the WORST, and I can’t believe-- wait, why am I writing this when I can just come yell at you instead?

> I dare you :) 

(Don’t do it, Wei-gongzi!)

WEN NING, YOU TOO?! BETRAYAL ON ALL SIDES

“At least he had them, this time around,” Nie Huaisang said with a tired sigh. “What a terrible place to live.” 

“Stop sympathizing with the enemy.” 

“No,” Nie Huaisang said blithely. “Besides, he’s not the enemy. He’s dead.” For now.

“What do you mean, for now?” Nie Mingjue asked warily. 

“Just some thoughts, da-ge, nothing to worry about.” He subtly tucked another journal under his cushion so it was out of sight. That one had been far more illuminating. Something for later-- for the beginning of the endgame. 

A long silence while he read, and then... “You haven’t painted anything in months.” 

“I’m too busy for those things.” 

“You love those things.” 

“I love you more.” Nie Huaisang paused, staring hard at the blurry page in front of him. “There’s no joy in anything anymore.” 

“That can’t be true.” 

“It is,” he snapped, abruptly furious. “How can I care about painting when you’re dead? How can I remember what happiness is when I’m all alone?”

“You aren’t all alone.” 

“You are dead!” Nie Huaisang screamed, flinging the journal aside and shooting to his feet. His face was wet and his breath trembling, tears burning in his throat. “You left me. You are gone, and now I have no one. Not a single soul left in this god forsaken world; no one cares about me! I’m left with no family but your sworn brothers-- one who killed you, and the other who handed him the weapon to do it!” He whirled around to throw his brush against the wall, leaving a smear of black ink. “You are dead, and I am not, and there’s nothing I can do about it except kill the man who killed you.”

Silence. And then… 

“S-Sect Leader?” A hesitant knock at the door. “Are you alright? Who are you talking to?” 

Nie Huaisang swiped his eyes clear of tears and found an empty room. His heart lurched as reality returned. As the pain and grief and despair found him again.

“Just to myself, I guess,” he said distantly, unable to tear his eyes away from the place he’d imagined his brother to be. A ghost or a memory, he didn’t know. It didn’t matter either way. His brother was gone. 

“I’m fine. Leave me.” 

“Yes, Sect Leader.” Soft footsteps leading away, and then he was left with ringing silence and a hollow room. 

“He’s gone,” Nie Huaisang repeated shakily. A reminder he needed, as much as it hurt to say aloud.  “Da-ge is dead.” 

He stared into the candle’s flame until his eyes burned. His brother was dead and he was alone. There was little he could do about it… except get revenge for his brother’s soul. 

Nie Huaisang was not a genius. He was something better, something that would make his complex plans succeed: he was Nie Mingjue’s beloved little brother, whom no one considered a threat. They would never see him coming, would never realize his role or ruthlessness until his revenge was complete. 

Jin Guangyao would die for his crimes. Nie Huaisang would make sure of it. 

He sat back down. Took a breath before digging out the most important journal, and started taking notes. Nie Huaisang plotted with meticulous care long into the night, until his eyes drifted shut against his will. He staggered to his bed, sleep-drunk and heartsore, and collapsed onto it, too numb to bother dragging the blankets up the bed. 

He was on the verge of sleep when the blankets draped gently over his body. “Thank you, da-ge,” he said sleepily, and drifted off as a hand brushed the hair from his face with utmost care.

Reflecting

What was the best way you used your time this past year? Hauling rocks and dirt around the yard. The garden was pretty magnificent this year. I put lots of infrastructure in place, raised beds, leaf mulched the pathways, planted some perennials that should fill out nicely. I grew the best green bean teepee, better than I hoped for. I like that it’ll never be a finished project. Always more things to add, and plant, and harvest, and change.

What was your single biggest time waster in your life this past year? I struggled with wasting time in the online realm. So much unthinking consumption, so easy to do. In the summer, on my days away from work, I would sometimes spend hours scrolling through various feeds, rechecking email accounts... In November I let go of my Facebook account, which gave me some respite. Actively trying to use it as a tool for inspiration, and sharing my life, not as something to spend hours refreshing to see if anything new is happening in the constant goal. Sometimes I fall short of that.

What would you try if you knew you could not fail? The idea of having some land, a small flower farm, and maybe a flower of the month club, with a ceramic partnership to make seasonal vases and floral arrangements is so appealing. Last summer I made several small arrangements from backyard flowers and foliage and gifted them to friends, but to do so on a larger scale, or to learn more about flower arranging and ceramic work is daunting. What is a skill you would like to focus on learning? I would love to get to know (and master?) my sewing machine. I have a Singer Curvy, and it is very mechanized. The thread tension has been hit or miss. I would love to be able to make my own dresses and summer pants as it gets warmer this year. There are some excellent looking patterns out there (everything in the 100 Acts of Sewing collection!) that I want to try. What was an unexpected joy this past year? Watching my sister put so much effort into her community garden plot, and seeing it thrive under her care. Best new gardener award goes to Julia, easily! All of the tomatoes (grown from seed!), and radishes and beets for you.

What was an unexpected obstacle? Grieving the unexpected death of my mother, who I wasn’t very close to, and thought there would be time for that to change. This was the first time I've lost someone. Also, learning to unschedule my time, and leave space. Turning down offers to take on more. Our culture puts a high value on staying busy. It’s a tough mentality to let go of, that if you aren’t filling your schedule with classes or volunteer time, or other plans, then you are wasting it. I don’t feel good living that way. What were the best books you read this year? Spirit and Place, by Christopher Day Negotiating with the Dead : A Writer on Writing, by Margaret Atwood A Sense of Place : An Eastern Oregon Anthology, by LEO (Libraries of Eastern Oregon) Fool on the Hill, by Matt Ruff A Tale for the Time-Being, by Ruth Ozeki Any Ursula K. Le Guin books I could get my hands on

Who were your most valuable relationships with? My family! I am greedy for more time spent with my sister, who lives several hours away and has a full life of her own, and my dad, who lives thousands of miles away. Also my boyfriend/roommate/coworker (trifecta!) Brian, who has been a part of my life for a couple years now, and is a neat person to be around. Finally, my circle of coworkers is the most solid I’ve ever had, many of whom I spend time with outside of work, and all of whom I enjoy seeing on a regular basis. What brings you the most joy and how are you going to have more of that? Striking the right balance between time spent at home with my Brians and in my garden, and time spent socializing with folks who I love. Perhaps structuring more time with friends into my life, more weekly coffee dates and craft meet ups. I’m so reluctant to do things away from my home in the evenings, but more time spent reaching out to folks for morning and afternoon hang outs would be excellent. And spending time in my yard, working in the garden, as well as making my space in the loft just how I like it, and cooking meals in the kitchen fills me with joy. What is one change you could make to your lifestyle that would give you more peace? Shifting away from buying cheaply made, inexpensive goods, at great cost to the environment and folks’ lives, and beginning to choose to buy things that support individual makers and artists. Especially food and clothing, but not limited to those categories. Along with this, getting rid of the things I’ve been carrying around for years that I don’t look to anymore. How would you like to positively influence the life of a child this year? Be an excellent role model to Brian’s nieces. Send them letters, ask them questions, support them. Keep in touch.

What’s one thing that you could do to give yourself more peace financially? Be timely with keeping the status of my student loans updated and accurate. Pay them when I can, defer them when I can’t, and be ok with that. Start squirreling more money into my savings and stop spending it so freely on little unnecessary things that add up. Be more aware of my purchasing habits. Do some little jobs on the side and save that money.

What exercise will you like to try this year? Is this the year that I begin regularly stretching? Probably! I can feel my body beginning to take longer to recover after hard physical activity.

What types of food will you like to incorporate more in your diet? More fresh fruit and vegetables! I am a hot foods person. I don’t naturally gravitate towards salads, or cold fermented foods (I’m looking at you, kimchi & sauerkraut). My diet is mostly beans and grains and roasted vegetables. There is definite room for improvement. What body part needs more attention and loving care? My hands. These poor nails are always bitten too short (a nervous habit that I enjoy), I nicked the tip of my thumb with a sharp knife while cutting onions, and the hard skin of a garlic clove stabbed that same thumb where it bends. My feet could use some love as well. What will you be willing to try outside your comfort zone to increase your health? This year is the year that I’ll sit a Vipassana meditation course. What music or art class would you consider taking this year? The Craft Center at the University of Oregon offers beginners ceramics classes, so I signed up for one that runs just over a month. I want to make things for the household, and the garden, and for gifting. How would you like your style to be different this year? Eugene is kind to folks who embrace how they want to look. I want less man-made materials and mass produced clothing. Ideally I would spend more time thrifting natural fiber clothes, and dyeing them, as well as learning to sew my own. Where would you like to go on vacation this year? This March, Brian’s parents are coming out, and we’re all trekking up to Washington to visit the Olympic National Park rainforests. Late June and into July, Brian and I are spending a week or so camping with his family somewhere in the middle of Oregon, near Bend. How would you like to grow emotionally this year? Less bursting into tears (of rage, despair, or embarrassment), more thoughtful, straightforward articulation of how I feel and what I want.

THE SPOTS  Taurus Ox $ $ $ $ Laotian  in  Capitol Hill $$$$ 1523 E Madison St Not

Rated

Yet

Movie Pairing: Camp (Prime)

“Around ten years before Pitch Perfect ruined the reputation of collegiate a cappella (riff-offs are not a thing), Anna Kendrick got her start in Camp, a film that provides a marginally more realistic look into a world I’m also quite familiar with: theatre camp. If you, too, were a drama nerd in 2003, this movie was your bible, and if you weren’t, you probably had no idea it existed. Every time this ragtag group of absolute weirdos open their mouths to sing, the sound that comes out just makes your whole soul feel good. Which is why I’d replicate that feeling with a huge spread from Taurus Ox. Just like the cast, this Laotian counter on Capitol Hill isn’t afraid to be colorful and a little bit funky, with dishes like beef jerky and sticky rice, pad Lao topped with pickled radishes and crispy chicken cracklins, and an incredible double smashburger with provolone to bring you back to your childhood summers.” - Aimee

 Dough Zone Dumpling House $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Dim Sum  in  International District $$$$ 504 5th Ave S Ste 109 8.1 /10

Movie Pairing: Vertigo (Prime)

“In Vertigo, Jimmy Stewart plays a sad, broken, and slightly creepy man, sort of like if his character from It’s A Wonderful Life lost his bank, got divorced, and decided to start over in San Francisco. This is a tough movie to summarize, but just know that it’s about a man who falls in love with a woman who looks like this one person he used to know (who thought she was possessed by her great grandmother). Sort of. I glossed over a few things. It’s a long, complicated story, and you’re going to want to continuously fill your mouth with small bites of food while you try to figure out what’s going on. Get a bunch of dumplings, wontons, pork buns, and pancake rolls from Dough Zone.” - Bryan

Ezell's Famous Chicken $ $ $ $ American ,  Southern  in  Central District $$$$ 501 23rd Ave Not

Rated

Movie Pairing: Men In Black 1, 2, & 3 (Prime)

“I don’t know how many times I’ve seen all three Men In Black movies (I refuse to acknowledge MIB International), but I never get sick of them. They’re some of the best buddy cop movies ever made, except that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones aren’t policemen really - they work for a highly-funded, yet unofficial government agency that monitors extraterrestrial life on Earth. Similarly, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve eaten Ezell’s spicy fried chicken. For me, there’s nothing better than going to town on a pound of tenders and some freshly-baked rolls while watching a Men In Black movie. Even if Will Smith neuralyzed me (which WOW what an honor!), I’m convinced I’d somehow find my way back to Ezell’s - erased memory and all.” - Carlo

 Vendemmia $ $ $ $ Pasta ,  Italian  in  Madrona $$$$ 1126 34th Ave Not

Rated

Yet

Movie Pairing: Tampopo (Youtube)

“The last movie that made me laugh - like really, really laugh, was Tampopo - a Japanese parody on the American Western. On the surface, it’s about a cook who tries to perfect her ramen recipe, but really it’s about death, sex, and food - and it’s hilarious. One chef apologizes to the pork in his bowl, another trains like Rocky to find her strength behind the ramen counter. But I live for the ‘spaghetti scene.’ To know what I’m talking about, order yourself a plate of spicy spaghetti from Vendemmia, queue up the movie, and get ready to slurp along with a table full of women who have never had spaghetti before.” - Arden

 Cafe Con Leche $ $ $ $ Sandwiches ,  Cuban  in  SoDo $$$$ 2901 1st Ave S Not

Rated

Yet

Movie Pairing: Chef (Prime)

“Surprise, surprise. A food writer recommending Chef. I understand that the ‘cool thing’ now is to groan at all 115 minutes of Hollywood actors feigning fake passion for food, but it deserves a watch because we’re all missing restaurants right now - and at least it’s not Burnt. If this movie opened my eyes to one thing (aside from spaghetti aglio e olio’s ultimate sex appeal), it’s that Cubanos are the perfect sandwich. Unfortunately, Seattle is the farthest major city from Miami in the contiguous United States. But when all you want is a classic pressed mess of ham, roasted pork, melty swiss, pickles, and yellow mustard, nothing but Cafe Con Leche will do. I like getting a side of fries and some of their cilantro-y green sauce for dipping, too - it makes for a perfect spread while watching Jon Favreau completely rip a snooty restaurant critic (that’s not me) a new one.” - Aimee

 Order delivery   Homer $ $ $ $ Mediterranean  in  Beacon Hill $$$$ 3013 Beacon Ave S 8.4 /10

Movie Pairing: Kramer vs. Kramer (Prime)

“In Kramer vs. Kramer, Dustin Hoffman’s wife (played by a 30-year-old Meryl Streep) leaves him to raise their child by himself. And, at first, he’s pretty terrible at it. Which is to say, this is a deeply relatable film. (I, personally, don’t have any children, but I imagine I’d be a pretty poor father.) During one memorable scene, Dustin Hoffman’s son tries (unsuccessfully) to eat ice cream for dinner - and that’s where Homer comes in. In addition to wine, pantry items, and takeout meals, this Beacon Hill restaurant is also selling their soft-serve to go. You need this, because A) it’s amazing (the current flavors are matcha and vegan salt roasted banana), and B) there is, most likely, no one at your house who’s going to stop you from eating soft serve for dinner.” - Bryan

 DeLaurenti Food & Wine $ $ $ $ Pizza ,  Cafe/Bakery ,  Italian  in  Downtown ,  Pike Place Market $$$$ 1435 1st Ave Not

Movie Pairing: Goodfellas (Netflix)

“The best part of Goodfellas (besides when Joe Pesci starts yelling at people) is the prison scene. We’ve got Paulie slicing garlic with a razor blade, Vinnie throwing too many onions in the sauce, and Henry coming in with a bag of the good stuff - bread, peppers and onions, salami, prosciutto, cheese, and red wine. Placing a DeLaurenti order feels like the equivalent of Henry bribing the guards to let him smuggle in a bunch of Italian specialties, except you don’t need to participate in organized crime to get the goods - all you need to do is go to their website. You can even get their charcuterie plates, cheeses, tons of pantry staples, and wine delivered on the same day, which is a luxury even those wiseguys don’t have.” - Carlo

 Deru Market $ $ $ $ American ,  Pizza ,  Sandwiches  in  Kirkland $$$$ 723 9th Ave Ste D 8.5 /10

Movie Pairing: Maltilda (Prime)

“We all remember the first time we watched this Roald Dahl adaptation and wished desperately for psychokinetic abilities - and even more desperately for Miss Honey to be our teacher. But the most iconic moment has to be when Trunchbull forces Bruce to eat an entire chocolate cake that’s the size of a manhole cover. Call me crazy for saying this, but even though that scene is meant to ruin chocolate cake, it kinda makes me want a big slice of it. Is that bad? Deru’s version with layers of salted peanut butter frosting is just as decadent as you’d imagine frail old Cookie’s creation would be in real life. Order a big piece (along with some wood-fired pizzas and rosemary pecorino fries), and enjoy some of Danny DeVito’s best work. And because it’s impossible not to also associate Matilda with baby carrots flying around, you better add Deru’s incredible farm salad with roasted carrots, feta, herbs, and pepitas.” - Aimee

Korean Bamboo $$$$ 2236 3rd Ave

Movie Pairing: Enter the Dragon (Prime)

“Back in the 90s, when VHS was still a thing, I used to go to Blockbuster and rent Bruce Lee movies. Sorry, that was misleading. My father would rent them for me. I was far too young to use money or negotiate the rental of films featuring excessive violence. Anyway, Enter The Dragon was always a favorite, and we’d pretty much always eat some Korean food before we watched it, because, um, we’re Korean. So while you watch Bruce Lee travel to an island fortress and participate in a deadly martial arts tournament, it’s important to me that you order from Korean Bamboo in Belltown. My sister and I eat there every time I’m home, and I strongly suggest their bulgogi, tofu soup, and jajangmyeon. (I live in New York now, by the way.)” - Bryan

 Un Bien $ $ $ $ Sandwiches ,  Caribbean  in  Ballard $$$$ 6226 Seaview Ave NW 8.8 /10

Movie Pairing: Bad Education (HBO)

“I don’t know about you, but I could watch Alison Janney read a phone book. But in the case of Bad Education, we get to watch her siphon off $11 million from the Long Island public school system, and feed Hugh Jackman a sandwich on some high school bleachers. Stream it on HBO, order a roast pork sandwich from Un Bien, and feed your quarantine buddy the perfect synergy of bread-crunch, juicy meat, and aioli while this true story of the largest public school embezzlement in history unfolds.” - Arden

 Ristorante Machiavelli $ $ $ $ Pasta ,  Italian  in  Capitol Hill $$$$ 1215 Pine St Not

Rated

Yet

Movie Pairing: Hitch (Netflix)

“If you can tell anything about me by my captions in this guide, it’s that I’m super Italian and really like Will Smith movies. Which is why Machiavelli and Hitch are both guilty pleasures for me. Hitch is basically your everyday rom-com, and it’s no The Pursuit Of Happiness, but dammit, I love watching Will Smith sing Earth, Wind & Fire as he’s drinking cough syrup like a juice box. Similarly, even though Machiavelli’s carbonara includes bacon, garlic, and chiles (which my extremely Italian family would disapprove of), it’s still a delicious plate of pasta you can get for under $20. I would happily order this pasta for takeout any day of the week - even if doing so would get me uninvited from my Uncle Gino’s yearly Feast of the Seven Fishes.” - Carlo
