Yeah okay he does at least have an excuse for NMJ that is kinda understandable, even if the way he went about it is horrible and unnecessary. If he'd only sooner given up on wanting his father's love, all would have been so nice for him. T_T

Yes guqin-and-flute is deriliarch on AO3, I couldn't remember their AO3 pseud because it's so removed from tumblr. XD I first read some of the snippets on tumblr and it's very enjoyable! Also, a rather unconventional pairing, which is also intriguing!
