No Me Without You (One Flesh, One End), by WraithCaterpillar
Summary:
Wei Wuxian is a servant of Lotus Hold, in the Ninth House, the smallest and most backwater planet of the Nine Houses. His life is pretty bleak (largely due to the Reverend Mother Lady Yu), although he usually keeps up his cheerful disposition. Then he meets Lan Wangji, and eventually, his life gets a lot better. But before it gets better, there will be an unimpressed Lan Qiren, homoerotic dueling, mutual pining, a really gross monster, clandestine vows, and skeletons — so many skeletons, both the kind made out of bones and the kind made out of secrets.
Pull quote:
Lan Wangji took a deep breath. "Wei Ying. I have come to pledge myself to you as your cavalier, if you will have me." His gaze bored into Wei Wuxian's soul (metaphorically, but it felt surprisingly similar to the one time he had accidentally undergone soul siphoning), and then Lan Wangji clenched his right hand into a fist and pressed it to his chest. "One flesh, one end."
"Oh, fuck," whispered Wei Wuxian.

Screenshot of beginning notes from the fic:
Content Warnings:
1. Reference to and nightmare/memory of past suicide
2. Childhood trauma discussion / flashbacks and panic attacks
3. General body horror / corpse desecration (consistent with the necromantic magic in Locked Tomb canon)
Familiarity with the Locked Tomb series is not required. The end notes of this chapter have a short glossary of terms.
This is for the TopXian Reverse Big Bang - I was lucky enough to be matched with my first choice of art, which was done by the talented DizziDreams - she also writes! The artwork is embedded in chapter 4, but here is her post with the art. It is not spoilery for the story. Please go shower her with praise! (If there is no link yet that means we are still coordinating our posting.)
Many thanks to my beta reader, Toshokanin for the thoughtful feedback, advice, and support! You are marvelous.
This is my first fic in this fandom — after having been fannishly dormant for more than a decade, it was both fun and painful to remember how to do this.
My fic for the #TopXian RBB is up!
