Admin: AO3 Collections Now Open

[ranalore]

I have created a Chenqing_100 collection on AO3. Each week's prompt will be a new subcollection, to keep things organized. The subcollections will remain open, since I know not everyone uploads their work as soon as they post it to DW or Twitter. Please note that you can only add a work to the relevant subcollection, not to the parent Chenqing_100 collection itself.

Please let me know if you run into any issues. This is the first collection I've created, so there may be bugs to work out.

Family letters are worth ten thousand pieces: Dead Letters

[ranalore]

Title: Dead Letters
Author: Rana Eros
Word Count: 100
Character: Wei Wuxian
Rating: Teen and Up, referenced genocide, suicidal ideation, dark imagery, the Burial Mounds basically
Summary: Wei Wuxian gives the Burial Mounds all that he has. But not what he's lost.
Author's Notes: Betaed by Eliza.

~~~~

There are things Wei Wuxian doesn't write here. Scratching in the dirt, or drawing in blood on stone—the only ink and paper he has—he writes in bleak code. Home becomes vengeance. Sect becomes blood. He never names his ghosts, not in this open grave. He buries thoughts of the living.

Instead, he perfects talismans to make the Wen pay, where sorry becomes death. Once he has avenged Yunmeng Jiang, once he's made amends, he hopes the ghosts can finally rest.

Maybe he'll rest, too.
