***

The library burns first, the forest quick to follow.
Long after he has fled the mountain Lan Xichen thinks he can still smell the smoke.

-

Someone inside started a cooking fire.
The smoke waves goodbye to Wen Qing and her brother as they start down the long road to Lanling.

-

Xue Yang is a blunt instrument, brutal in its efficiency.
As the air fills with smoke and screams, Jin Guangyao finds satisfaction in new beginnings.

-

Smoke stands starkly against the darkening sky, dancing to the tune of a familiar song.
Humming softly under his breath, Wei Wuxian follows it home.
