Harrow spent the entirety of GtN being like "I need to protect the tomb, I need to revive my house, the ninth house is all that matters." She even threatened to kill Gideon if she embarrassed her.
And then the second, the very second, she found out what being a lyctor meant, when she found out that the cost of everything she wanted was Gideon's life, she said "no." Gideon was more important.
In the end, all her threats were empty. It was always going to be Gideon.
Thinking about A'Yuan, who was so little and scared but couldn't/wouldn't cry when Wei Wuxian took him from the camp. Thinking about that same boy later on getting lost in the streets of yiling and crying, because this time he knows this time he has someone to call for, someone who will come to get him. Thinking about how it's mentioned in text that Wei Wuxian often played and looked after him. Thinking about how much love and care and attention he must have been given to have such a transformation. Regardless of whatever else happened to the settlement, a little boy was able to find his voice and smile again. And he was able to grow into such an upstanding young man with good friends. Once again, Lan Shizui is the best testament as to why what Wei Wuxian did was the right thing.
“For hours on end, he’d talked to his father (…) and he told him of Kate, and how she’d freed his soul, and how he loved her so damn much. It was, Anthony realized, what his father had always wanted for him.”

forced marriage/friends to enemies to lovers au with megumi x reader because you're a kamo with a (relatively high) amount of cursed energy. you're sick of the Political Bullshit of the clans so you run off to jujutsu tech, telling only gojo about your reasoning. this happens a year before yuuji and nobara come into the picture, so you and megumi become best friends. except [redacted] happens and now you two hate your guts. oh, but your shitty family!! finds a way to marry you off to the naoya zenin!! but the contract states it has to be a zenin, not naoya zenin so gojo essentially legally marries you and megumi together.
but with angst because once upon a time reader did dream of this and now it feels like a nightmare because she's still in love with megumi but he hates her except, well, he doesn't actually.
(guys i'm so tired i have a test tmrw but of course Now is the time where i finally have some good fucking ideas i hate it here)
