#FicRecFebruary no.2: Three Swords Bàoshān Sànrén Brings Home With Her (And One She Never Will), by HerenorThereNearnorFar
Reflections on Baoshan Sanren's life and those of her students, through the histories of their swords and how they were named. The lyricism of this fic veils the vicious regret of Baoshan Sanren's experiences with the world, and the resignation with which she lives with it. Beautiful, sharp, and absolute catnip for me.
