There are many sources of warmth in Xiao Jingyu's life, and three of particular significance when he is with the Chiyan Army: his uncle, the army's Marshal Lin Xie, with whom he carefully navigates the dynamics of loyal subject and honoured family; his cousin, the fiery Lin Shu, who is growing up to be his right hand faster than he is quite prepared for; and the talented man he picks from Chiyan's ranks, who becomes more to him than he ever could have imagined.

Whumptober Day 19: “I’m not as stupid as you think I am.”

Jingyu is quiet. He’s been quiet ever since the news came back about Chiyan army’s betrayal and subsequent slaughter at the hands of Xie Yu. Since the death of his uncle and cousin and aunt.

Meng Zhi is normally the type of man who likes to lighten the mood, but there’s nothing he can say now that will make this better. They both know that Lin Xie was innocent. They both know there’s nothing that can be done about it.

They’re in a-Yu’s office, where they always meet. Meng Zhi is well-used to leaping over the walls of the Eastern Palace without getting caught. In better times, they would be sat drinking tea together, or perhaps they would already have moved next door. Today, though, they’re simply standing, holding each other close, shaken by loss.

If Meng Zhi had stayed with the Chiyan Army for any longer than he had, he would be dead.

“They’re going to implicate me in this.” A-Yu says, half muffled by Meng Zhi’s shoulder.

Meng Zhi tenses up, a thousand horrors flying in front of his eyes. “A-Yu! No. I won’t let them, I’ll –”

“Zhi’er. Da-ge.” A-Yu pulls back, looking Meng Zhi straight in the eye. “You have to promise me that you won’t… that you won’t let my father think that you are somehow involved. That you won’t let him know that you’ve ever spoken to me.”

Meng Zhi stares at his lover’s fervent expression. He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t understand how a-Yu can ask him to do this. “You want me to just pretend that I don’t know you, that I think you’re guilty?”

“Yes!” A-Yu’s hands tighten on his shoulders, almost painfully. “Yes, Zhi’er. Just leave it. It’ll be alright in the end, we just can’t afford to upset him.”

Meng Zhi doesn’t get angry easily. He certainly doesn't get angry at a-Yu, his a-Yu. But now… It’ll be alright? How can it be alright? “I’m not as stupid as you think I am, a-Yu. I’m not going to hear you say everything will be alright and just believe it.”

“Zhi’er, of course it will be fine, my father –”

“Your father just had his oldest friend killed! Your father is a paranoid –”

“The Emperor.” A-Yu’s voice is cold, blank. Regal. Meng Zhi knows this tone. He doesn’t know it turned towards him.

Meng Zhi’s heart stutters. “Jingyu –”

“My royal father is the Emperor, General Meng. Or did you forget?”

“A-Yu, I said the wrong thing, please –”

“I think it would be best if you leave.” A-Yu is looking steadily over Meng Zhi’s shoulder, refusing to meet his eyes. “Perhaps you should stay away from the palace for the next few days.”

Meng Zhi doesn't want to leave. But he knows a dismissal when he hears one. “Your Highness.” He sweeps into a bow, and he doesn’t let himself look back.

He never sees Xiao Jingyu again.

Hello from your Fall in Langya partner! Saw your fic recommendation for transmigration fic and transmigrators. If a transmigration would be angsty with Xiao Jingyan because of their lost history, is the answer still the same with amnesia? How about face blindness, which character would you bless with it?

I feel like amnesia is a little less angsty, to me? I mean it depends more on how it's handled individually. But like (for the Xiao Jingyan example) the person that Mei Changsu and everyone cares about is Xiao Jingyan, not whoever might transmigrate into him. So from the outside transmigration and amnesia might look similar, but what really gets me is that the person you loved is gone completely and you might not even know it. With trope-y amnesia there's the chance that the memories can come back or a chance to make new ones, whereas with transmigration you'll be making those new memories with a different person.

All of that said, whether or not someone with amnesia considers themself to be the same person as before they got amnesia is an entirely other question that has different implications. (There was an interesting post that I reblogged recently on my main that this reminds me of. It's technically about resurrection, but I feel like it's still relevant.) My first paragraph was assuming more of a trope-y amnesia where "lost history" is the focus. A loss of self can be super angsty as well, but I feel like with loss of self I want to focus on the amnesiac and with loss of history (or transmigration) I want to focus on the loved ones, if that makes sense? It's a different flavor of angst.

TL;DR They're both angsty (and I love angst) but transmigration feels more final if you're emotionally attached to the person who was replaced imo

And now face blindness!! Another interesting question! I think I have less of a character that stands out to me as the one person that should have it, but I do have a scenario! I think it would be fun if whoever it is that has face blindness nails Mei Changsu as Xiao Shu right away bc they aren't focused on how different he looks so they can see the familiarity easier! (Which actually now that I think about it, kinda sounds exactly like what Tai Nai Nai did in canon)

And then actually I do have another answer that I think would be fun: Xiao Jingyu! Out here working hard and treating everyone with respect because he has a hard time distinguishing between them anyway, so he learned at a young age both 1) to be able to distinguish identity/rank by clothing and 2) that people are people

[jianghushenanigans]

Whumptober Day 10: "You said you'd never leave."

There’s a secret cabinet in Xiao Jingyan’s palace that holds memorial tablets for traitors. If anyone found out about it, everyone would find out about it, and Xiao Jingyan’s name would be included with theirs, and there would be no one left to honour to them.

So no one knows. Not even Lie Zhanying, who he trusts in everything but whose life he will not risk. Not even his mother, who he knows wants nothing more than for him to be alright. Not even Mei Changsu, who wants to know – who really should know – his every secret, so as best to advise him. To plot and scheme and lie for him.

No one knows.

He built it himself, in the dead of night, using what he knows of traps and weaponry to hide the mechanism to open it. He carved the tablets himself, crudely but with great care, more care than anyone showed them, back when they were still alive.

Xiao Jingyu. Lin Yueyao.

He repeats their names over and over to himself in his mind, a mantra.

Grand Princess Jinyang. Lin Xie.

The people he cannot forget. Who cannot be forgotten.

Lin Shu. Lin Shu. Lin Shu.

His mind, his heart, always catches there.

Lin Shu, xiao-Shu.

“Xiao-Shu.”

He clasps a hand over his mouth, but there is no one here to hear him. Not here, all alone in his locked room in the middle of the night, the only time he allows himself to think about them. The only time he allows himself to feel.

Lin Shu, xiao-Shu. His best friend, his everything.

“Xiao-Shu, where are you?” He’s crying. “Xiao-Shu, you said you’d never leave.”

“Xiao-Shu, come back.”

A tunnel away, Mei Changsu cannot sleep.
