Summary: "Sooo pretty" doesn’t really do it justice: it's the most beautiful human being he's ever seen. The jade-like pale skin. The cheekbones. The lips. The eyes, oh heavens, those eyes, and the insane waist-long hair.
Wei Ying has studied art for a while now, but really, it all pales in comparison.
In which Lan Zhan is a patient, Wei Ying is a volunteer, and there is some falling in love.
My comments: This is so sweet/bittersweet. Wwx is a volunteer on the oncology ward in a children's hospital where, it turns out, he was a patient previously. Lan Wangji is a new patient who immediately catches his eye, but it's slow going for a while, since he doesn't appear welcome and wwx has enough experience to understand that lwj is probably overwhelmed, exhausted and feeling very shitty, so he doesn't push. But he works on Lan Xichen instead, and shamelessly uses the power of A-Yuan's cuteness to get an in. (A-Yuan is battling a cancer of his own, as well.)
Of course, it eventually works, and wwx and lwj grow closer and navigate the trails and small joys of fighting for their lives.
It is slowly revealed ***SPOILER*** that wwx also had a grueling bout with cancer (actually, they still won't commit to saying he'll live into his 20s) that left him with two prosthetic legs.
Happy ending, w satisfying epilogue.
ETA: Author keeps adding little one-shots, Chs 12-14. My fav is Ch. 12, from Madam Yu’s POV.
modern au, hospitals, teenage drama, slow burn, hurt/comfort, fluff, cancer, sickfic, amputee wei wuxian, madam yu is a good mom, feels, family feels, brotherly feels, chemotherapy, regular therapy, cancer patient lan wangji, wheelchair, little A-Yuan, prosthetic legs, getting together, first kiss, that’s it, they’re only 16, and very very sick, so no hanky panky, until the epilogues, happy ending
(You may wish to REBLOG as a signal boost for this author if you like – or think others might like – this story.)
