Summary
Since the tender age of 9, Jiang Cheng has been convinced there is something growing within his chest.
He fancies it might be a rose bush, full of thorns that poke his lungs everytime his father praises Wei Wuxian while his mother compares his lacking skills to his adopted brother and his sister dotes on the older boy, first and foremost. Or maybe it's a cactus, one that parches his throat dry with a hacking cough when all his friends favor the cooler Jiang sibling and dismiss his minuscule insecurities. But sometimes he contemplates if it's poison ivy wrapping tightly around his esophagus, causing uncomfortable irritation when his childhood crush, flawless Lan Xichen doesn't notice him the way Jiang Cheng notices everything about the older boy.
He might not be certain what it is, but all he knows is that he is growing something so magnificent and indescribable.
And it hurts.
Yet no one believes him when he mentions the pain, when somedays the basic skill of breathing doesn't come easy. He catches the eye rolls, hears the scoffs, fumes at the blatant teasing, and clams up at the scolding he receives for his "exaggeration".
Though perhaps his imagination wasn't too far off the mark.

Summary
Sometimes, when things get to being a little too much, when the restless lightning in his bones stings in his marrows, when the dark clouds in his head whisper too loudly, Jiang Cheng goes to the water. Things are… better, in ways, now that he knows that his br - that Wei Wuxian is still alive, but war and violence leaves scars deeper than skin and bone and muscle, and sometimes, the prickling phantom pain is too much for a man to bear.
So Jiang Cheng goes to the water.

Jiang Cheng's unhealthy coping mechanisms do not involve hugging. Wen Ning intends to fix that.

Or: the 'before's and the 'after's that break two lives into pieces.
At eleven, Jiang Cheng attempts to deal with his isolation from his family, and what that entails.
At nine, Lan Xichen finds out what it means to be an older brother.
Note: The fic title is from the Kodaline song 'High Hopes' (not Panic! At The Disco, unfortunately). -

Summary
“Oh calm down,” said Jiang Cheng. “They're only waking nightmares. They pass. I've had them since the war. They're always worse when the lotus are blooming.”
Wei Wuxian swallowed. Since the war. Since the fall of Lotus Pier, where everyone they knew had been butchered and their bodies left lying among the lotus flowers for the birds to feast on.
He had nightmares about that time too.
