The spring rain has stopped, but there are no guards on the gate, as Di Feijing approaches Six Half Hall, only an old servant sweeping the steps. Blossom falls to cover them like snow, petals caught on the breeze drift like ghosts of all those who have gone.

Di Feijing has wondered how it will feel to return. The thought of it, amongst other things, keeping him awake at night of the journey back. Even now, standing on the steps, he finds he doesn't know.

( The broom clatters down the steps as Lao Li sees him, dropped in his surprise at seeing him there. )

Part 2 here

The weather clears in two days as Qi Shaoshang had thought it might, and as the morning of the second day arrives he makes ready to leave.

While Di Feijing knew the day had to come, he finds himself feeling a little lost, even rather melancholy about how things will be from now on. The lack of plans of his own, the directionlessness of it all, of a future, seemingly without purpose, feels like an increasingly heavy weight.

Not that he will admit that to anyone. Not that he will even permit them to guess.

( Although Spring is Approaching... )

Part 1 here

It takes two more days for Di Feijing to recover sufficiently to be able to stay awake long enough to do much more than eat and drink. Not that he feels well yet or even particularly well rested despite having been barely been awake. The breathlessness is easing however, and despite the initial pain and blood loss, the wound troubles him far less than his neck had when that had first been injured.

For the most part his sleep has been dreamless or at least has nothing he can remember on waking. Twice though he has woken to dreams to vivid to ignore.

The first time he hadn't woken Qi Shaoshang, whose bed is on the opposite side of the room they are sharing. Only fragments of the nightmare remained once he had startled awake, just the vague and fading impression of something with too much blood and death.

( He's seen a lot of both of those. Been the cause of it too. He doubts anyone in the Jianghu has gone through life without experiencing such dreams on occasion either. )

Something a bit different, well it's still H/C and for a Cdrama, but it's not MLC (yes I am still working on that last part of Before the Dawn) This is for Heroes (2022) and is Di Feijing canon divergent thing. I'll post it here are 3 shortish parts over the next couple of days. Then once it's done I’ll put it on ao3.

The Fei character in Di Feijing's name is the same as in Di Feisheng, but the Di character is a different one.

Di Feijing - 狄飞惊

Di Feisheng - 笛飞声

There is no shelter here, but then he has never taken the easy path. A faint, weary smile forms on Di Feijing's icy, bloody stained lips. Unable to go on, he sinks to his knees beneath the bare trees.

He'd never expected to survive his fight with Fang Yingkan. That he has managed to blind him, leaving him defenceless and wounded in this wilderness will have to be revenge enough. The vile young marquis will never harm another. He is content to let him wander in pain and fear before the ice and snow claim him.

He presses a hand against the wound in his side. There is no warm welling up of blood now - the bitter cold has stopped the bleeding. Perhaps if he'd reached safety or if someone was searching for him there might have been a slimmest chance of survival.

There is no one coming this time. It had been a miracle that Lei Sun and his wife had found him on that snowy night all those years ago.

Fate it seems cannot be outrun, not in the end.

Tired, barely feeling the cold around him, Di Feijing closes his eyes, breath slowing, barely misting in the icy air.

( Someone is shaking him, one hand on his shoulder, the other holding his hand. The voice is familiar, although in his disorientated state Di Feijing can't bring whose it is to mind. )
