In the mood for...

Feb 20th

~*~

1. Hello, when you do the next itmf could you please rec some fics that shows wangxian’s relationship progressing? And I don’t mean like friends to lovers or rivals to lovers or whatever, I mean like the actual relationship. Like them both at the start being all shy and giving each other gifts and learning what the other likes and dislikes, and then slowly gaining confidence in their relationship (in the physical aspect but also in the emotional aspect)

Thank you !!!

🧡 Stunted, Starving Juvenility by TomatenMark (E, 762k, WangXian, WIP, Fix-it of sorts, Talisman master WWX, Not JFM Friendly, Study Arc, Getting together, Fluff and Angst, Engagement) it’s not focused on the relationship but it’s a good part of it and they get together in the second chapter and it’s SUCH A GREAT STORY

💖🔒love, in fire and blood by cicer (E, 360k, wangxian, immortal WWX, slow burn, pining, arranged marriages)

A Thousand Things by tickertape (M, 108k, wangxian, canon divergence, WWX not adopted by Jiangs, developing friendships, miscommunication, misunderstangings, nightmares, hurt/comfort, panic attacks, WWX’s fear of dogs, slow burn, cultivation world bureaucracy)

~*~

2. itmf fics that people refer wwx as lan er furan but it's m/m fics. thank uuuu.

Baby, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by TriviasFolly (E, 132k, WIP, WangXian, Modern AU, A/B/O Dynamics, Alpha LWJ, Omega WWX, Omega LSZ, Mafia, Crime, Sects are Clans, Feral WWX, Feral Omegas, Nurse WWX, Dark LWJ, Dark WWX, Possessive LWJ, feminine WWX, wwx's cannon desire to be a sugar baby/trophy wife, Breeding Kink, Mpreg) Technically it's "mxy" being called Lan furen (bc wwx is hiding out as mxy) and it doesn't happen until a little later in the fic but it does show him trying to learn the furen duties and things

~*~

3. any unrequited fics from lwj's side? not really unrequited more than works, but i just wanna see the pining.

temporarily unrequited.

not actually unrequited.

the tag search on aot doesn't really have a lot from lwj's side and even if it does, it's very minimum so i'm looking for some which are slightest bit heavy on the angst.

like lwj resigning to being his friend/enemy/stranger so he doesn't force his feels. just angst, possibly with a happy ending but also works if it isn't.

thank you so much!

When the Words Stop Coming by mrcformoso (T, 7k, WangXian, Canon Compliant, POV WWX, POV LWJ, Cloud Recesses Study Arc, Pre-Sunshot Campaign, Burial Mounds Settlement Days, Canonical Character Death, Love Confessions, Rejection, LWJ is a Panicked Gay, Temporarily Unrequited Love, Trauma, WangXian Get a Happy Ending, Angst with a Happy Ending, Sad with a Happy Ending) I'm not sure if this is what they want but When the Words Stop Coming has LWJ reject WWX at first, then when he comes back, WWX rejects LWJ (kindly, but there's still a lot of angst). Happy ending tho

For a Good Time, Call by ScarlettStorm (E, 170k, WangXian, Modern AU, Getting Together, Pining, Porn, like in the writing and also as a plot point, onlyfans au, repressed LWJ, sex worker WWX, Minor Angst, major shenanigans, Background ChengQing, background NieLan, background XuanLi, Nonbinary NHS)

you've ruined my life (by not being mine) by cicer (E, 132k, WangXian, Modern AU, Developing Relationship, Idiots in Love, Awkward Flirting, teenage romance, Shameless WWX) are both good modern AUs from LWJ’s perspective where he PINES for a good portion of the story until they work things out!

~*~

4. hi!! thanks for everything u do here!!! for the next itmf: canon divergence fics where wangxian get together early (eg, during the cloud recesses lectures, before/during the war or anytime before wwx's death) but wwx still dies (and gets resurrected) like in canon. arranged marriage, a/b/o, mpreg, all/any settings are fine!!

🧡 Like Rabbits by Setari (T, 41k, Kid fic, Canon rewrite, Mpreg, Miscarriage scare, Crack treated seriously, Hopeful ending)

~*~

5. thank you for all your hard work! any modern setting fic recs where wwx has a modern setting equivalent of the golden core transfer for jc? can be an organ donation, can be him being a scapegoat for smth jc did, can also be a golden core transfer still as long as it's in a modern cultivation setting, etc. thank you in advance :)

🧡🔒 Truth Will Out (when caught on video) - End_OTW_Racism! by KizuKatana (E, 160k, wangxian, WN & WWX & WQ, graphic depictions of violence, modern cultivation, canon divergence, YZY abuses WWX , caught on camera, partial core removal, WWX kicked out of Jiang sect, livestreamer WWX, meet ugly, dual cultivation, smut, no war, WIP) I am absolutely feral about this one and cannot recommend it enough!

I loved your fem lwj take on things. How would thibgs go if WWX was the lady? Other than ppl assuming she stood up for the Wens bcs she jad feelings for WN ( and that Yuan was hers)

Heyyy friend, I think I’ve seen a couple of girl!wwx fics floating around in ao3 so i certainly won’t be the first :P.

Also I completely misread your ask initially, I thought you were asking me what I think would happen if A-Yuan was WWX’s kid, and I was like oh?? But then I realize wait... I can make it worse.

Today, I decided that my mortal soul doesn’t matter, so here we go. Let’s see how accursed I can make this idea:

[1]

It started with Jiang Cheng. Jiang Wanyin had set out for the Burial Mount with the explicit goal of throttling speaking with Wei Wuxian, but what greeted him at the entrance of the “Demon Subduing Palace” — more of a cave than anything really — was not his martial sister, but Wen Ning. Well, what had once been Wen Ning.

Black veins ran across his pale, ashen face, down his equally ashen neck , and into the major veins beneath his clavicles covered by the collars of his black threadbare robes. Lifeless eyes, white as his skin, stared into a void the living could not see. There were talismans littering his body, and Jiang Cheng knew that when he spoke to this fierce corpse, he was not speaking to the young Wen boy, but to his mistress who controlled him with her demonic cultivation.

Wei Wuxian refused to face him. Refused him explanation. Refused him closure.

“Er-jie!” Jiang Cheng screamed into the stony expressionless face of Wen Qionglin. “If you continue to protect them, then I can’t protect you!!”

There was no response.

Suddenly, just as Jiang Cheng was about to kick and fight his way into the cave, Wen Ning thrusted out his right fist, and in his grasp was a piece of purple silk. Jiang Cheng unfolded the silk, vaguely recognizing that it had been cut from someone’s robe, and saw what was wrapped within was a slip of parchment.

割袍断义*, the paper read. Tell the world that I, Wei Wuxian, first disciple of Yunmeng Jiang has forever defected (Note: 割袍断义- to rip one's robe as a sign of repudiating a sworn brotherhood (idiom)).

With this, there was nothing left to say. Hurt and furious, Jiang Wanyin threw the piece of parchment onto the dirt ground, grinded his heel down on it, and left the Burial Mount without ever having drawn Sandu.

Inside the cave, Wen Qing held Wei Wuxian’s hand. “Why won’t you just tell him? He’s your brother; he can help you, you can —”

Wei Wuxian’s mile long stare seemed to be gazing at something — someone — very far away. Slowly, she placed her other palm over her belly, which horrifically was already starting to round out. “Nobody can help me now, Qing-jie.”

“I can,” said Wen Qing, blunt as ever. “I can make it go away, if you want.”

“No.” A droplet of tear escaped pass long lashes. “No.”

[2]

It continued with Jiang Cheng.

On a snowy night, the first winter after Wei Wuxian escaped with the Wen remnants to the Burial Mount, Jiang Cheng was rudely awakened from his slumber by a less-than-stealthy intruder breaking and entering into his bed chamber.

Zidian whipped through the air, lighting the room with her eerie violet glow, before the intruder could think to take one more step. It was a man, judging from his silhouette colliding against the wall and the pained groan he made in response. The very next second, the tail of Zidian coiled tightly around his neck and dragged him across the floor towards beneath Jiang Cheng’s waiting foot.

The Sect Master of Yunmeng Jiang summoned Sandu, ready to deliver the final strike, but just as his blade sailed towards the intruder’s chest, a pale arm jutted upwards, blocking Sandu’s descent and revealing a pale hand holding a … a...

Even in the dark, Jiang Cheng immediately recognized the mahogany comb.

“Jiang — ! Zongzhu —!” The man croaked out urgently, throat still stomped on by Jiang Cheng’s foot. It was - it was Wen Ning?!

Jiang Cheng looked him over. He was pale, yes, but his eyes appeared human. His hair was brushed and haphazardly done up in a farmer’s top knot. He was wearing farmer’s clothing too, probably more inconspicuous for travel than his Ghost General getup.

“Jiang-zongzhu! P—please!!”

No, impossible.

“Wei — Wei-guniang—”

Jiang Cheng lifted his foot and dragged Wen Ning up in a split second. “What’s wrong with Wei Wuxian?!” Wen Ning coughed and shook his head desperately. “No time to explain. My sister asked me to fetch you. Please, you have to come! Wei-guniang’s life is in danger! If you won’t come, I’ll...I’ll have to go to Gusu, and I don’t know if - if -”

Jiang Cheng followed Wen Ning.

For speed, they travelled by sword, but even so, dawn was breaking by the time they arrived. The crowd of Burial Mount’s villagers huddling anxiously outside of the Demon Subduing Palace parted for them upon their arrival. Jiang Cheng took a moment to gather himself and square his shoulders. Whatever it was; he was ready.

He was wrong. None of the dozens of scenario he had agonized over on the flight here could have prepared him for what awaited him inside.

Wen Qing, pale and drenched in sweat, was near complete spiritual collapse, and without Wen Qing’s spiritual energy sustaining her, the single tenuous thread by which Wei Wuxian’s life hung on would have undoubtedly snapped under the toil and devastation her body had been put through.

There was so much blood, so, so much blood everywhere, and amidst the blood, there was a baby.

Fuck.

Jiang Cheng transfused his sister half of his total spiritual reserve over the course of a day, while an exhausted but unrelenting Wen Qing worked diligently under blood-soaked sheets.

Then at dusk, when the storm finally passed, Jiang Cheng sat at the mouth of the cave with a tiny, perfect little human — a girl, a niece! — in his arms and cursed Lan Wangji’s name.

Wen Qing was extremely clear with them: 孩子要是留在这里，养不活。

If the newborn was left to be raised at the Burial Mount, she would not live. And so, because parting was inevitable from the start, Wei Wuxian adamantly refused to hold or nurse the child. Her child.

I can’t. If I do, I won’t be able to let her go. Those dark eyes burned with more than just the delirium of her childbed fever. For once, Jiang Cheng could not find it in himself to argue.

Thus, he took his niece home and named her Jiang Yan 江曕. The name was not his doing. His foolish, misguided, stubborn sister had stroked her daughter’s soft, baby cheek and whispered it to her as a farewell gift.

Yan - to be bathed in daylight. In the end, when given a choice, Wei Wuxian still opted for her child to walk on broad sunny road.

It made Jiang Cheng wonder why, then, she would choose the dark twisted path for herself instead.

[3]

It ended with Jiang Cheng.

The truth was simple: Jiang Wanyin killed his shijie Wei Wuxian. He did. He meant to.

He killed her. But that did not mean he wanted her dead.

In one day, he had lost both of his sisters, leaving two orphans in their wake. Jiang Cheng could not ignore the cruel irony of their fate: one’s father murdered by his aunt, and other’s mother murdered by her uncle.

This was the kind of tragedy fairytales were made of, and if there were anything left in him to shed tears over it, he would. Standing amongst Nevernight’s carnage, he could not dredge up even a single drop of tear.

Jiang Cheng didn’t know how he could return home to Lotus Pier to face that cherub face, always so happy, so sweet, so utterly untainted by the world. She had her mother’s smile. Yan'er was starting to learn how to speak. Her first words were da-da.

Da-da. Die-die. Father.

He was standing beside her father now.

Lan Wangji. Devastated. Destroyed. …Deceived.

Jiang Cheng hated him so much, so fucking much that for one insane second, he thought about telling Lan Wangji the truth just to see what would happen. Maybe he would run Jiang Cheng through with his Bichen - that would be a relief now, wouldn’t it? - or maybe he would jump after Wei Wuxian.

Truly, if he knew, he would. Jump, that is. Jiang Cheng was almost entirely sure. Oh the utter melodrama that would inspire indeed!

But then...

Wei Ying birthed you a daughter, a lovely, perfect, blessed little girl, and she carried that secret to her grave. I may be damned by my actions, but you, who have done nothing for her and taken everything, why should you deserve something as sacred as the truth?

Jiang Cheng turned away.

He was acutely aware that one day Jiang Yan may very well be the literal death of him. After all — 杀母之仇不共戴天 — one cannot tolerate living under the same sky as the murderer of one’s mother.

Be that as it may, he would raise Jiang Yan well, just as he promised. Unlike his sister, he would not break his word. Jiang Yan was of Lotus Pier, of Yunmeng, like her mother and grandfather before her. That for him, was enough.

Jiang Cheng clutched Sandu and gripped Zidian. Whatever his fate, he already made peace with it, and the rest was inconsequential.

One day, he may die, but today he lives, and so as long as he lives, Jiang Yan and all of Yunmeng Jiang will be protected . So as long as he lives, they will flourish.

[...and in between]

On the streets of Yiling, Lan Wangji tilted his head inquisitively at Wei Wuxian and the little boy at her side and asked, “This child, he...”

In response, Wei Wuxian patted her chest in a self-declarative kind of way and announced, “Oh this child, I birthed him!”

He stared at her in shell-shocked silence, his mind racing with panicked thoughts of but that’s impossible — that was just once — even if — the boy is too old to be —

“怎么，蓝湛，不要我们娘儿俩了？” What, Lan Zhan, you don’t want the child and I?

“Wei— Wei Ying—”

Then of course, she had laughed, and Lan Wangji thought no more of it.

Just a joke. A silly joke.

In time, he would come to realize his mistake.

~~~

[A/N]: I’m not even a little bit sorry.

Hi......if you don't mind me asking, can I ask, who are your top 5 favorite characters from MDZS? And why? And what are your top 5 (or top 3) fav moments from the novel? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks.....

Hello!! No need to apologize, I adore talking about MDZS!

My top favourite characters:

1. Wangxian: It is very unfair to make me pick between Wangxian. Wei Wuxian is everything I adore. He is funny, empathetic, mischievous and brilliant. I love how he faces everything in life, how confident he is in himself and how adorable he is in love. Lan Wangji is everything I admire. He is strong, righteous, as passionate on the inside as he is perceived as cold on the outside. His character arc is my favourite, and every version of him from the Teen LWJ to the revered Hanguang-Jun who went where the chaos is with no desire for prestige or rewards is just so good, so human. I could write a thousand verses on how he loves WWX, how WWX loves him, on how their love is so beautiful.

2. Wen Ning: Wen Ning, is without a single doubt, my favourite character after Wangxian. I love everything about him, the stuttering, fierce, protective brother that Wei Wuxian deserves. He commits treason for WWX, for the kindness WWX offered him, and the friendship and faith they both have in each other brings me to tears every single time.

3. Lan Sizhui: Lan Sizhui, Wen Yuan, the bestest boy. Who suffered so much, but was loved so deeply that even when the world wanted him dead, that love saved him. I loved A-Yuan from the very beginning, for his kindness, his diplomacy and how observant he was. Finding out everything about his past, reading the Burial Mounds arc, everything, only made me adore him all the more.

4. Jin Ling: Oh my beloved peachick. Jin Ling is someone I want to wrap up in a thousand blankets and keep safe from the scary world. I loved his growth, how he flourished under WWX's care and guidance, how by the extras, he is taking on night hunts no one else will, like Hanguang-Jun.

5. Wen Qing: When I say I stan Wen Qing, I mean I STAN Wen Qing. Brilliant, kind, and protective, I liked Wen Qing the moment we are introduced to her. Pragmatic, and yet soft-hearted, she commits high treason to protect WWX and JC, and then helps WWX with the core transfer, on someone she knows is going to come to slaughter her sect. Her last words, thank you and I'm sorry, had me sobbing.

Top Favourite Scenes

1. Rabbits Scene

Everything about this was so adorable. WWX gifting LWJ rabbits, cleverly making him accept said rabbits, LWJ breaking the rules for WWX and keeping the rabbits such that there is an entire warren of them by the time 13 years come to pass. Adorable kids with their adorable crushes. 💕

2. Dinner in the Burial Mounds after Wen Ning's Revival

The Burial Mounds arc is without a doubt something I adore very much, for the tiny place WWX carved out for the Wens, far from the world that would see them dead. I love this scene especially because WWX says he will walk the dark single path alone, but the Wens light lanterns for him, welcome him into their family, and he no longer feels that it is dark at all.

3. Trip to Yiling

WWX imagining LWJ and himself as happy as his parents were, imagining a future with LWJ, falling in love, and LWJ is so indulgent, so utterly in love, and gods... I cannot put into words how much I love this scene.

4. Confession Scene

LOVELY. STUNNING. A MASTERPIECE. The narrative? The hostage situation? Life threat? Irrelevant. WWX will confess to his HGJ dammnit and no one is going to stop him. This is a moment when both WWX and LWJ knows, for sure, that the feelings they held for the other is not simply tolerated, it is returned. The gentle love they hold for each other burns as bright in the other too, and gods... it is beautiful.

5. Dream Come True Extra

The fluff!!! They're married and in Love, your Honour!!! LWJ and WWX are so soft with each other, so utterly blissful, and they deserve it. The dates, the boat ride, a dream in cloud recesses come true, something both their young selves yearned for and yet could not have, but now they are happy and free and in love, in a way they never imagined to be as teens.

Author: Self-indulgent exploration of why WWX might have invented a spell that brought people back to life <3

----

“Ugh, life is really too annoying,” Wei Wuxian says, plopping down onto the floor of the cave, not even bothering to dry off.

It’s one of the catch phrases Wei Wuxian has seemed to have grown fond of in his new life. Like most of his other catch phrases, it annoys the fuck out of Jiang Cheng.

“Shut up,” Jiang Cheng growls. He kicks around some dry grass and twigs on the cave floor and sets it on fire. “It’s your invention that brought you back – stop complaining about it.”

Wei Wuxian rolled closer to the fire, like the big annoying kid he was. “I didn’t know it would be used to bring me back,” he says petulantly, “I wouldn’t have invented it if I knew it would be used on me.”

For some reason, Wei Wuxian’s words irk Jiang Cheng. His words rake the coals of Jiang Cheng’s anger and make it burn fiercely in his stomach. “Keep talking shit and I’ll kill you myself,” Jiang Cheng growls, Zidian sparking dangerously on his hand.

Wei Wuxian glances up at him with one eye and promptly rolls back away from Jiang Cheng. “Mercy, great Sect leader. Mercy,” he begs monotonously.

Jiang Cheng lets out a deep sigh and closes his eyes. Patience, he chants to himself. Patience. If he kills Wei Wuxian in this cave, Hanguang-jun will be upset. Jiang Cheng hasn’t even gotten married yet – there will be no successor to the Yunmeng Jiang Sect if Hanguang-jun kills him.

Patience. He needs to have patience. He will not kill Wei Wuxian. The rain will probably let up soon…

“Who were you planning on bringing back, if not yourself?” Jiang Cheng asks after a few calming breaths.

Wei Wuxian pushes up on his elbow and rests his head on his hand, looking like he doesn’t have a care in the world. Fucking annoying –

“Oh, I thought maybe I’d bring back Uncle,” he says easily. He slips a piece of dry grass between his lips and chews lazily, like he hasn’t just said something… horrible.

“Father?” Jiang Cheng asks faintly, “You invented this… for father?”

Jiang Cheng had thought that Wei Wuxian had invented that horrible array during his years in the Burial Mounds. Had thought that… well he wasn’t sure what he had thought but he had just assumed that the array had been a product of Wei Wuxian’s boredom in the cursed mountains. He hadn’t thought about why Wei Wuxian would create an array to bring back the dead – hadn’t thought about why Wei Wuxian would even think along those lines…

“Wouldn’t it have been kind of funny?” Wei Wuxian continues, thoughtlessly. Unaware of the affect his revelation is having on Jiang Cheng. “Imagine you having to call me father – well not me, I guess. My body. Wouldn’t that have been funny?”

Funny, he says, Jiang Cheng thinks faintly. He might really kill Wei Wuxian. Funny.

“Why would you want to bring back father?” Jiang Cheng asks, and he regrets it as soon as the question leaves his lips. He doesn’t want to know, actually. He doesn’t want to know how much Wei Wuxian was prepared to sacrifice for him. It’s better to live in ignorance, because if he doesn’t know, it can’t hurt him.

Wei Wuxian snorts as if Jiang Cheng just asked some funny. “Why wouldn’t I want to bring back uncle?” he asks. His face is turned to towards the fire and his eyes are closed. He looks so fucking peaceful – like he isn’t hurting Jiang Cheng with every word. But Wei Wuxian probably doesn’t know that he’s hurting Jiang Cheng – he’s never been good at knowing things like that.

“You were so young then,” Wei Wuxian says, a soft smile on his lips, “What business did you have rebuilding a sect.”

“So why didn’t you?” Jiang Cheng asks, his voice gruff with the tightness in his throat. “Why didn’t you bring father back?”

Wei Wuxian opens one eye to look at Jiang Cheng. Twirls the dry grass in his mouth nonchalantly. “Well,” he drawls, embarrassment finally appearing on his face, “at the time I thought that giving him my body might be more of a punishment than a gift.”

It’s maddening, to have such an idiotic brother, Jiang Cheng thinks desperately. How much more does he plan on hurting Jiang Cheng? How many more secrets will Jiang Cheng unknowingly walk into?

(A punishment he says - a punishment. Because he had ripped out his golden core for Jiang Cheng. Because he had crawled out of the Burial Mounds, desperate and core-less and starving because he thought he could turn the tides on a hopeless war. He hadn’t killed himself because he thought his body was a curse and he had lived in it - oh god. He had lived in it for so long and Jiang Cheng hadn’t known anything and - )

“I’m sorry,” Wei Wuxian says softly, and it enrages Jiang Cheng. What right does Wei Wuxian have to apologize to him? What is he even apologizing for? “Thinking back on it now, I should have brought uncle back – it would have made everything better.”

Jiang Cheng slams his fist down onto the floor of the cave. He can’t stand this any longer. It’s too much. “Shut up,” he says – and he hopes he doesn’t sound as desperate as he feels, “shut up, shut up.”

Wei Wuxian sits up and takes the grass out of his mouth. He looks down at his hands like a kid getting scolded. It makes the anger inside Jiang Cheng burn hotter.

“You’re such an idiot,” Jiang Cheng says lowly, anger making his hands shake, “Why are you so convinced that your sacrifice will make anything better? Do you think of yourself so highly? That your life would change anything?” It’s mean and corrosive and everything he doesn’t want to say, but… it feels good, letting the anger out. Hurting someone who hurt him.

Wei Wuxian looks up at Jiang Cheng and smiles – and it’s something small and self-deprecating and it infuriates Jiang Cheng. “Don’t be so mean,” he says, obviously aiming for humor, “Or I’m going to tattle to Jin Ling – you know he hates it when you’re mean to me.”

Jiang Cheng stands then because he can’t bear to be in the same space as Wei Wuxian any longer. “Go ahead and tattle,” he barks, and it’s humiliating because it’s so childish. Being around Wei Wuxian always seems to take him back to the snot nosed kid he was 20 years ago. “I hope you die in this cave.”

He walks out of the cave and into the pouring rain. He’ll take his chances catching his death in the rain than having the spend one more minute in that cave with Wei Wuxian.

He barely makes it 20 steps before Wei Wuxian runs up behind him.

“Jiang Cheng!” Wei Wuxian says, and he’s laughing. “I’m sorry, Jiang Cheng. Let’s go back to the cave.”

Jiang Cheng shrugs Wei Wuxian’s arm off him, but Wei Wuxian just throws himself onto Jiang Cheng again.

“Come on,” Wei Wuxian pleas, but he’s still laughing, “I’m sorry, okay? I won’t act important ever again. Promise!”

He’s such an idiot! Jiang Cheng thinks helplessly. Wei Wuxian’s never been able to read when Jiang Cheng is hurt. Never been able to understand what Jiang Cheng is saying. He’s always apologizing for the wrong things and getting the wrong message....

… but he always runs after Jiang Cheng.

No matter what Jiang Cheng says, no matter what Jiang Cheng does. The one constant with Wei Wuxian is that Wei Wuxian will run after him.

Jiang Cheng doesn’t know what he needs to say so that Wei Wuxian will understand that Jiang Cheng will run after him too. That Jiang Cheng chased Wei Wuxian’s shadow for 16 years. That Wei Wuxian’s death never made anything better – would never make anything better.

He doesn’t know what to say, so he just turns back around.

“Fine,” he barks, “but if you annoy me one more time, I’m going to roast you over the fire.”

“Yes, yes,” Wei Wuxian laughs, and it’s still strange to Jiang Cheng how quickly Wei Wuxian can fall back into laughter. “I will not be annoying at all. The least annoying, actually! Wei Definitely Not Annoying Wuxian is my new name.”

“You’re already fucking it up.”

A second chance

ScarletRuby19 over on Twitter commissioned me for a Chengxuan fic where JZX survives and comes to Lotus Pier where JC and JZX bond, first over JL and then JYL, before they fall in love. Cue some angst and doubt, over whether they are allowed this happiness before they decide that, yes. JYL would want them to be happy. Plus a little bonus at the end where WWX finds out and Madam Jin doting on JC. I hope you like it! It’s a little over 5k, so you can also read it here on AO3.

Jiang Cheng is standing in the ruins of his home and he doesn’t know where he should even start. Just yesterday he added a plate for his sister, setting it up next to their parents and just the thought makes Jiang Cheng want to curl up and die. Or maybe just sleep for a very, very long time.

Let someone else shoulder the responsibility for once.

But he doesn’t even get that, because a disciple comes running up to him. It’s always bad news when people run up to him.

“What?” Jiang Cheng snaps out before the disciple even comes to a stop, and when he does, he has to bend over to catch his breath first.

“Sect Leader, Jin Zixuan is here.”

Jiang Cheng blinks, once, twice and then a third time for good measure.

“He is what?” he finally gets out and the disciple points back to where he came from.

“He just landed, a baby strapped to his chest.”

Jin Ling, Jiang Cheng thinks, and it’s that thought that finally gets him to move.

He runs off, the disciple close behind him, and Jiang Cheng comes to a stop when his eyes fall on Jin Zixuan, like his disciple said, chalk white in his face, sweat on his brow, swaying on his feet and a baby strapped to his chest.

“You’re not dead,” is the first thing Jiang Cheng says to him and he’s met with a grimace at that.

“Wishing I were right about now,” Jin Zixuan gives back, panting heavily and when his knees give out on him, Jiang Cheng is there to catch him.

“I don’t understand,” Jiang Cheng admits, one hand under Jin Zixuan’s shoulder to support him, and one hand on Jin Ling’s head.

“Wen Ning killed you,” Jiang Cheng says once he safely guided Jin Zixuan to sit down right where he stood and Jin Zixuan lets out a snort that turns into a pained grunt.

“Wishing he did right about now,” Jin Zixuan says again with a grimace and then he sighs when Jin Ling starts to squirm in the harness. “Help me with this,” Jin Zixuan pants out, getting started on undoing the straps that hold Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng is quick to assist him.

He doesn’t mention how much Jin Zixuan’s hands shake.

What he does mention is the steadily growing patch of blood on his robe.

“What the fuck,” Jiang Cheng breathes out and then turns towards his disciple. “Get Jiang Sushan, right now.”

The disciple runs off without comment and Jiang Cheng turns back around to Jin Zixuan, just in time to have Jin Ling deposited in his arms.

“What is going on?” Jiang Cheng whispers and Jin Zixuan presses his lips together.

“I survived, if only barely. And I can’t stay at Koi Tower. I think—I think Jin Guangyao and Jin Zixun were working together. I can’t—I don’t trust him. I can’t stay there. Jin Ling shouldn’t be around him,” he pants out and Jiang Cheng looks down at the tiny baby in his arms. “My mother sent me away.”

“Why come here?” Jiang Cheng dumbly asks, but it’s all a bit too much right now.

“You’re her brother,” Jin Zixuan presses out. “You’re his uncle. Where else would I go?”

His answer takes Jiang Cheng aback, because it sounds like Jin Zixuan didn’t even consider going anywhere else, and it makes a ball of dread settle in Jiang Cheng’s stomach.

“I have nothing to offer you. Look around,” he says and points at the still slightly smoking ruins of Lotus Pier. “I have no resources, no stable home, nothing. Why come here?”

Jin Zixuan levels him with a look Jiang Cheng didn’t know he could make and repeats “You’re her sister, you’re his uncle. Where else would I go?”

Jiang Cheng opens his mouth to argue, but before he can find the words, Jin Ling lets out a discontented noise and Jiang Cheng’s attention is immediately redirected.

“I don’t know what to do,” Jin Zixuan whispers and he sounds as honest as Jiang Cheng has ever heard him. “She’s gone and I don’t know what to do.”

Jiang Cheng’s head snaps back up, just in time to watch Jin Zixuan slump back, his injury and the exhaustion clearly getting the better of him, but before Jiang Cheng has time to panic, he catches sight of Jiang Sushan rushing up to them.

“I don’t know, either,” Jiang Cheng whispers and then he makes place for the healer, Jin Ling cradled protectively to his chest.

He doesn’t have a goddamn clue what to do either.

~*~*~

Jiang Sushan forbids Jin Zixuan from standing up until the hole in his stomach has healed. The hole in his stomach. Jiang Cheng feels sick just thinking about it, and he tries very hard not to imagine how it happened.

But with Jin Zixuan forced into bedrest, Jiang Cheng spends more time in the infirmary than he ever cared to do before. But Jin Zixuan wants to see his son, and Jiang Cheng can barely stand the thought of giving the tiny baby out of his hands.

So it’s him who brings Jin Ling to Jin Zixuan on a daily basis.

“If you could just heal up already,” Jiang Cheng grumbles sometimes during the third week, because he has a home to rebuild and a Sect to establish and disciples to train, but instead he’s sitting at his late sister’s husband’s bedside, holding a baby on his knees so Jin Zixuan can reach out and let Jin Ling grab his finger. “I have better things to do than be here every goddamn day.”

“Then just leave,” Jin Zixuan snaps back, clearly as unhappy with his bedrest as Jiang Cheng is.

Plus, neither of them counted on seeing each other every goddamn day when Jin Zixuan married Jiang Yanli and for all that Jiang Yanli clearly loved him, Jiang Cheng still holds a grudge.

Jin Zixuan was an ass to his sister and he’s not sure he’ll ever forgive that.

“Fine,” Jiang Cheng presses out and makes to stand up, absolutely intending to take Jin Ling with him, but Jin Zixuan fists his hand in Jiang Cheng’s robe.

“You’ll leave him here,” he says, eyes narrowed and Jiang Cheng fights the urge to bare his teeth at him.

“Absolutely not. You’re not even allowed to hold him yet,” he gives back and he can see the fury flash over Jin Zixuan’s face.

“And whose fault is that?” he demands to know and if he’s being honest, Jiang Cheng has been itching for this fight ever since Jin Zixuan landed in Lotus Pier.

“Why don’t you tell me,” he says, voice scathing and Jin Zixuan doesn’t even hesitate for a second.

“Your fucking brother did this to me,” he hisses and now Jiang Cheng gives him a smile so sharp Jin Zixuan rears back.

“From what you told me it was your brother who did this, so if I were you, I wouldn’t go around throwing stones,” he gives back without missing a beat and Jin Zixuan goes red in the face. “Now if you would excuse me, I have to take care of your kid, because clearly you’re unable to.”

It’s a low blow, and Jiang Cheng knows it, but he can’t stop himself.

“I wasn’t supposed to do this alone,” Jin Zixuan says, and his voice sounds more watery than Jiang Cheng knows how to deal with. “Yanli was supposed to be here, too.”

“Yeah, well, she’s not, is she,” Jiang Cheng says, and even just the reminder that his sister is dead cuts him open all over again.

A very vindictive part of Jiang Cheng hopes that Jin Zixuan feels the same pain Jiang Cheng does.

“And whose fault is that?” Jin Zixuan yells suddenly at him, startling Jin Ling into crying, but neither of them care right now.

“Certainly not mine,” Jiang Cheng shoots back but Jin Zixuan doesn’t back down.

“No. It was just your brother who killed my wife. Who killed his mother,” Jin Zixuan says with a pointed look at Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng boils with rage.

“She was my sister, too,” he shouts, Jin Ling full on wailing in his arms now, and it’s only the arrival of Jiang Sushan who defuses the situation.

“What the hell,” she says and marches up to Jiang Cheng, to take Jin Ling out of his hands. “I allowed you to bring him because I thought it would help his recovery,�� she snaps and rocks Jin Ling in her arms.

“Since clearly you’re both too stupid to appreciate my gift, I’ll have to ask you to leave now, Sect Leader Jiang.”

Jiang Cheng turns burning eyes on her, but Jiang Sushan is not one to back down and Jiang Cheng knows it.

“Can I—,” Jin Zixuan asks, arm outstretched for his son but Jiang Sushan gives him the same judgemental look she gave Jiang Cheng.

“Absolutely not,” she declares and then simply storms off, Jin Ling still in her arms.

Jiang Cheng’s fingers itch without Jin Ling’s by now so familiar weight and Jin Zixuan looks like he has half a mind running after her.

But thanks to the interruption all the rage left Jiang Cheng and so he scrubs a tired hand over his face.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. If you leave that bed, she’ll find a reason to send Jin Ling to Meishan or something,” Jiang Cheng whispers without looking at Jin Zixuan who freezes in his movement.

“She wouldn’t,” he gives back but he doesn’t sound as certain as he surely would like to be.

“She would,” Jiang Cheng corrects him and then straightens up. “Just stay in this goddamn bed and heal, would you? I’m tired of doing this alone,” he tells Jin Zixuan, his eyes still carefully avoided, but he still notices the jerky nod from the other man.

It’s only then that Jiang Cheng leaves the infirmary.

~*~*~

It takes Jin Zixuan another two weeks to heal enough for Jiang Sushan to allow him out of bed. He’s still not allowed to hold Jin Ling without help, but at least he can watch him. It doesn’t give Jiang Cheng enough time to deal with his Sect’s business, but it’s better than nothing.

“I can help, you know,” Jin Zixuan says one afternoon as he watches Jin Ling and he startles Jiang Cheng enough that he messes up his letter.

“Fuck,” Jiang Cheng curses, prompting Jin Ling to let out an unhappy noise and when Jin Zixuan shoots him an accusing glare, Jiang Cheng glares right back.

“He’s too young to pick up on this,” Jiang Cheng says as he checks if there’s a way to save the letter.

There is not. He’ll have to start over.

“One day he won’t be,” Jin Zixuan reasons and he reaches out as if he wants to pick Jin Ling up.

“Oh no, you don’t,” Jiang Cheng hisses under his breath and intercepts his movement, taking Jin Ling into his own arms.

“Jiang Wanyin!” Jin Zixuan snaps and Jiang Cheng glares at him over the top of Jin Ling’s very soft baby hair.

“If you pick him up, you’ll rip something and then we’re back at square one, so don’t even think about it.”

“He is my son,” Jin Zixuan presses out and Jiang Cheng shrugs.

“Then maybe hurry up with the healing, so you can hold him, too. It certainly would be a great help,” Jiang Cheng snarks and then clicks his tongue when his eyes fall on the ruined letter.

“I can help,” Jin Zixuan says again, following Jiang Cheng’s gaze and Jiang Cheng bristles.

“I am perfectly capable of writing my own letters, thank you very much.”

“You’re so—,” Jin Zixuan says and then clearly can’t find the right words because he closes his mouth with a click. “Fine. Put him back down again, so you can finish your damn letter.”

“Ah, language,” Jiang Cheng reminds him, rather smug, and he almost has to smile when Jin Zixuan shoots him a glare.

Almost.

~*~*~

When Jin Ling starts running around, Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan have long fallen into a routine. Jin Zixuan was right when he said he could help—he was trained as an heir, too, after all—and Jiang Cheng is loathe to admit that it removes a great weight from his shoulders to pass the less important matters off to Jin Zixuan.

They don’t talk a lot, even after all this time, since too many topics are off limits. They don’t talk about Wei Wuxian or Jin Guangyao at all, and mentions of Jiang Yanli still make both of them bitter and snappish, even though they are getting better at it.

It’s still safest to talk about Jin Ling, so they mostly spend their time doing that.

Even though Jiang Cheng finds himself wishing they could talk about Jiang Yanli more often.

Jin Zixuan is one of the last living people who held his sister dear, and Jiang Cheng itches with the need to find out what details Jin Zixuan remembers about her.

Jiang Cheng is afraid he’s forgetting too much lately, everything getting buried under work and more work.

“My sister told me I would hate this,” Jiang Cheng says apropos of nothing one day, when Jin Zixuan’s gaze follows Jin Ling down the pier.

They have secured this particular pier—erected a barrier so that Jin Ling couldn’t fall into the water even if they looked away for a second—and so Jin Zixuan doesn’t hesitate to snap his head around to him.

“What?” he asks, voice breathless and Jiang Cheng already regrets opening his mouth.

But the thought that maybe his memory of Jiang Yanli would be matched with one from Jin Zixuan gets him to talk again.

“She always said I’m a doer,” Jiang Cheng says, and keeps his eyes on the pile of letters on the table. “That I was meant to train the disciples and lead them on night-hunts. That I wasn’t made for the bureaucracy of leading a Sect.”

“She was right,” Jin Zixuan says with a scoff, though it’s not as sharp as it could be. “You’re doing a piss-poor job at this.”

“Language,” Jiang Cheng mildly reminds Jin Zixuan and he has to press his lips together when the predictable offended huff comes.

It was quite the surprise to realize that Jin Zixuan cursed almost as much as Jiang Cheng did, and by now Jin Ling starts to babble. One of them will slip up sooner or later, and Jiang Cheng is determined to have it be Jin Zixuan.

He thinks it would greatly amuse him, to see Jin Zixuan flush in outrage and embarrassment.

“You think you could do it better?” Jiang Cheng challenges him and Jin Zixuan sighs.

“I don’t—I don’t know,” he finally admits and Jiang Cheng’s gaze snaps towards him.

He didn’t expect Jin Zixuan to admit that he doesn’t know, that he isn’t sure of his capabilities.

“My father—he never let me do much. Shoved the minor matters off to me, but that was before Jin Guangyao came to Koi Tower. Afterwards, not so much. I guess between the two of us, you’re the only one with real experience.”

“Oh,” Jiang Cheng says, because sometimes he forgets that it wasn’t only his family that was fucked up.

“Oh,” Jin Ling parrots after Jiang Cheng and it’s enough warning for Jin Zixuan to brace for the impact of the toddler.

“You just make sure to repeat the harmless stuff,” Jin Zixuan tells his son as he hoists him into his lap, where Jin Ling settles quite contently.

An ugly spike of jealousy goes through Jiang Cheng, but he shoves it aside. Jin Ling is Jin Zixuan’s son. He’s just the uncle. Of course Jin Ling would be more comfortable with Jin Zixuan.

But then Jin Ling makes grabby hands at Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan shuffles closer with a roll of his eyes.

“I do not understand the fascination with your bell,” Jin Zixuan grumbles under his breath but he watches fondly as Jin Ling excitedly grabs for it.

“I do not understand the fascination with you,” Jiang Cheng shoots back, his eyes already back on his letter, but he still hears the outraged noise Jin Zixuan makes.

Instead of retaliating, like Jiang Cheng expected, Jin Zixuan falls silent and it’s a long time before he speaks again.

“Yanli always said that we needed to find a capable and trustworthy right hand for Jin Ling,” he finally whispers and Jiang Cheng stiffens. “I think she was preparing for the possibility that Jin Ling would turn out like you, too,” Jin Zixuan goes on, and normally Jiang Cheng would be offended at his choice of words, but Jin Zixuan’s voice is soft and Jiang Yanli never thought anything wrong with Jiang Cheng.

“I see,” Jiang Cheng whispers and then busies himself with the letter again.

He doesn’t move away when Jin Zixuan’s knee brushes his.

~*~*~

Jiang Cheng is contemplating drowning himself in the waters of Lotus Pier when Jin Ling runs up to him.

“Baba!” he yells excitedly and Jiang Cheng’s heart stumbles with that by now so familiar and dreaded mix of emotions.

They have tried to tell Jin Ling that he should address Jiang Cheng as ‘jiujiu’ and not ‘baba’ but it never seems to stick with Jin Ling and at least Jin Zixuan seems to have given up on it.

Jiang Cheng refuses to acknowledge how that makes him feel, but sometimes, it’s all he can do, drowning in how much he might want this.

It’s not right, and Jiang Cheng knows it.

“A-Ling,” he greets Jin Ling when he crashes into his legs and peers up at him, excitement shining out of his eyes. “What is it?”

“A-die said I could start training with the sword soon!” Jin Ling’s voice is still too loud, too excited, but Jiang Cheng smiles down at him.

“Oh, did he?” he asks, even though he already knows it.

For all that Jin Zixuan is Jin Ling’s father, they have fallen into the habit of making decisions together. It’s a dangerous territory, like Jiang Cheng’s heart likes to remind him.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Jin Ling babbles, and Jiang Cheng knows Jin Ling is getting too big for this now, but he still bows down to pick him up and settle him at his hip.

“But I’m not allowed to use Suihua yet,” Jin Ling then adds with a sad little tilt of his mouth and rests his head on Jiang Cheng’s shoulder. “A-die says I’m still too small for that.”

“And he’s right,” Jiang Cheng says and flicks Jin Ling’s nose. “Plus Suihua is too sharp for practice. You don’t want to cut yourself, do you?”

“No, baba,” Jin Ling agrees immediately, because for all that he tries to play tough—even at his tender age of five—Jin Ling cries easily.

Not to mention that neither Jin Zixuan nor Jiang Cheng like to see him hurt.

Jiang Cheng turns away from the water, thoughts of drowning himself and his stupid feelings forgotten, and when his eyes fall on Jin Zixuan he turns his head slightly away from Jin Ling on instinct.

It’s also a good reason not to focus on how his heart skips a beat.

“A-die!” Jin Ling predictably yells and throws himself out of Jiang Cheng’s arms, straight into Jin Zixuan’s, secure in the knowledge that neither will let him fall.

Jiang Cheng maintains his grip on Jin Ling until he’s sure that Jin Zixuan has him, but he sharply turns his head away when Jin Zixuan’s hands linger on his own longer than is strictly necessary.

Jiang Cheng’s mouth gives an unhappy twist when he reminds himself yet again that Jin Zixuan is his dead sister’s husband, but it does nothing to calm these feelings inside of him.

“Did you tell your baba already?” Jin Zixuan asks Jin Ling, but his eyes don’t leave Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng has to turn around when the look becomes too much.

“I did,” Jin Ling nods. “He says Suihua is too sharp for me, so I won’t use it yet,” he then tacks on and Jin Zixuan chuckles.

“Didn’t I tell you the same? Why do you only listen when it’s your baba saying that?” Jin Zixuan wants to know and Jiang Cheng can’t take it anymore.

“Zixuan!” he snaps and he only remembers himself when Jin Ling stares at him with watery eyes.

“A-Ling, why don’t you go to your room, I found you a training sword,” Jin Zixuan says as he puts Jin Ling down and Jin Ling runs off just as excitedly as he ran up to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng’s outburst clearly already forgotten.

Jiang Cheng stares after him, not out of worry because he knows Jin Ling is safe in Lotus Pier, but to avoid Jin Zixuan’s look.

He can feel his eyes on him and Jiang Cheng doesn’t know if he’s strong enough to take it.

“Why are you still objecting to being called baba?” Jin Zixuan wants to know as he steps up to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng tenses.

“I’m his jiujiu,” he gives back, even though there’s a sharp pain in his chest at the possibility of being addressed as such from Jin Ling.

“No, you’re not,” Jin Zixuan softly says and then turns Jiang Cheng around with a firm hand to his shoulder.

Jiang Cheng can’t meet his eyes, but when his gaze falls to Jin Zixuan’s lips instead he jerks his head away from that sight too.

He’s still trying to forget that night, the one where they both got drunk, the night where Jiang Cheng allowed Jin Zixuan to lean in and kiss him, and it’s so much harder than it should be. But Jin Zixuan isn’t his to touch or to kiss and Jiang Cheng hates himself a little bit for the fact that he wasn’t strong enough to push him away.

That he kissed him back instead.

“Wanyin,” Jin Zixuan whispers, and Jiang Cheng jerks with the familiarity in that name.

“Don’t,” he presses out and tries to take a step away from Jin Zixuan, but he follows him.

“Tell me why,” Jin Zixuan says, matching Jiang Cheng step for step, relentless in his movements, until Jiang Cheng is pressed against the railing of the pier.

“You’re my sister’s husband,” Jiang Cheng bites out, the words so ingrained in him already, because he has to remind himself of that several times a day.

“I’m a widower,” Jin Zixuan says, and he sounds exactly as pained by that as he should, before he shakes his head. “And the mourning period is over.”

“That doesn’t change anything,” Jiang Cheng gives back and startles when Jin Zixuan puts his hand on his arm.

Not really holding onto him, but seeking contact nonetheless and Jiang Cheng is helpless against it. He sways into the contact, a move Jin Zixuan clearly notices because a small smile grazes his lips.

Jiang Cheng itches to kiss it off.

“Doesn’t it?” Jin Zixuan asks and Jiang Cheng raises his head as he pushes his shoulders back.

“No,” he bites out but Jin Zixuan doesn’t let go of him.

“Do you really think Yanli would begrudge us this? Do you really think she wouldn’t want us to be happy?” he asks and Jiang Cheng jerks with his words.

“Who says you make me happy?” he shoots back and his stomach falls when pain flashes over Jin Zixuan’s face.

He hesitates for a moment, but when Jiang Cheng doesn’t move or say anything else, he slowly pulls back.

And Jiang Cheng, he can’t let that happen.

His hands shoot up on instinct, fisting in Jin Zixuan’s robes, which are more purple than gold at this point, and he stops Jin Zixuan in his movement.

Jiang Cheng can’t quite meet Jin Zixuan’s eyes, but he has wondered the same lately. If Jiang Yanli would really be mad at them for finding happiness again. For finding happiness with each other.

Jiang Cheng can’t be sure, but he likes to think that she would want this for them. That she would be happy. And if Jin Zixuan thinks the same—

Before Jiang Cheng can overthink this, he leans forward, pressing his lips to Jin Zixuan’s, who meets him without hesitation.

Jiang Cheng was drunk the last—only—time they did this, but he isn’t now. Now, he gets to enjoy this.

“You make me very happy, Wanyin,” Jin Zixuan mumbles against his lips when they finally part, and Jiang Cheng wonders when Jin Zixuan turned into the more brave, into the more suave of the two of them, but then he tilts his head again and all thoughts flee his head.

Jin Zixuan makes him very happy, too.

~*~*~

Jiang Cheng hasn’t even entered their rooms completely yet when Jin Zixuan slams a letter down on the table.

“My father died,” Jin Zixuan announces and the good mood leaves Jiang Cheng just as quickly as his stomach drops to the floor.

They didn’t even get two years, is all Jiang Cheng can think, as he sinks to the floor opposite of Jin Zixuan.

“I see,” Jiang Cheng whispers, and pushes the letter away from him.

He can guess what it says. Jin Zixuan is the heir after all.

He will leave, and he will take Jin Ling with him, and he might as well reach into Jiang Cheng’s chest and take his heart, too. It’s not like there will be much left of it, after all.

“You don’t,” Jin Zixuan says with a little shake of his head, and then leans over the table to drag Jiang Cheng into a biting kiss.

Jiang Cheng imagines this is what goodbye tastes like and he has to blink furiously so that the tears won’t cloud his gaze.

“I’m not going back,” Jin Zixuan says when they finally part and Jiang Cheng’s breath hitches at that, his hands coming up to frame Jin Zixuan’s face.

“Do not lie to me, only to leave in the end,” he demands, but Jin Zixuan shakes his head and then presses a kiss to Jiang Cheng’s palm for good measure too.

“I’m not,” he reassures him. “Did you forget that my mother likes you? Maybe even more than I do,” Jin Zixuan teases him, and it’s familiar enough to bring a small smile to Jiang Cheng’s face. “She’s going to be acting Sect Leader,” Jin Zixuan tells him as he leans close again to brush his nose against Jiang Cheng’s cheek. “And she wants us to marry.”

Jiang Cheng freezes in surprise at those words.

“She what?” he dumbly asks, because this is something Jiang Cheng never allowed himself to think of, to hope for.

Jin Zixuan wore red once already, and surely Jiang Cheng couldn’t get so lucky as to see him in it again.

“The date is set,” Jin Zixuan says with a shrug. “She doesn’t give us much choice. Really, it was more a statement of facts than her voicing a wish. You know she adores you, I wonder how you can still have doubts about that.”

“Zixuan,” Jiang Cheng says, because he doesn’t appreciate it if Jin Zixuan is just joking around right now.

“If you would have read the letter you knew,” Jin Zixuan says, his amusement clear in his voice and Jiang Cheng can’t help himself, he simply has to lean in and capture Jin Zixuan’s lips again.

His fiance’s lips, if Jin Zixuan is speaking the truth.

“Jin Ling is going to love this,” Jiang Cheng says when they part and Jin Zixuan makes an unhappy face at him.

“I would prefer it if you loved it,” he pouts and Jiang Cheng gives him a brilliant smile.

“Isn’t it enough that I love you?” he asks and when Jin Zixuan splutters like he always does when Jiang Cheng so freely expresses his affection, Jiang Cheng knows that they will be alright.

More than that even.

~*~*~

Wei Wuxian has to admit that he kind of enjoys showing the little brat just what his talismans can do. It’s fun to see him on the floor and struggling to get free.

“You just wait until my a-die and baba show up,” the brat says, once he exhausted himself and Wei Wuxian frowns at that.

“Your a-die and baba?” he parrots but before the brat can answer him, there’s a rustling in the underbrush next to them and Wei Wuxian takes a cautious step back.

“Jin Ling,” a new voice says and Wei Wuxian watches as the sour face on the brat’s face is overtaken with a smile.

Wait a minute, Jin Ling? Jin Rulan? Could it really be, Wei Wuxian wonders, but then Jin Zixuan is already stepping forwards and it’s really him.

Even though Wei Wuxian has to do a double take when he sees him dressed in all purple.

“Jin Zixuan?” Wei Wuxian blurts out, and then—because he can’t help himself—he adds, “Didn’t Wen Ning kill you?”

As soon as the words leave his mouth he slaps a hand over his mouth, but it’s already too late and the damage is done, Wei Wuxian can see that in the narrowing of Jin Zixuan’s eyes.

“Wei Wuxian?” he asks, suspicion clear in his voice and Wei Wuxian winces.

To think that he would blow his cover this soon.

“Haha, in the flesh,” he says with a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his head, and he totally doesn’t squirm under Jin Zixuan’s searching gaze.

“Not quite in the flesh, huh,” Jin Zixuan mumbles and then destroys the talisman on Jin Ling’s back. “You know, I didn’t appreciate it when your Ghost General put a hole through my stomach,” Jin Zixuan then says conversationally and before Wei Wuxian can say anything to that, purple lightning fills the forest.

Wei Wuxian shivers, phantom pains already running down his back, and he takes a step back.

“You know, I didn’t appreciate it either when your Ghost General put a hole through my husband’s stomach,” a new voice says and when Jiang Cheng steps up next to Jin Zixuan Wei Wuxian’s mind goes blank.

He blinks in confusion several times, but the picture still doesn’t make any more sense than before.

“I think you broke him,” Jin Zixuan whispers to Jiang Cheng who gives Jin Zixuan a sweet smile—and that is something Wei Wuxian can’t even begin to process—and then he holds his hand out for Jin Ling.

“A-Ling, come here,” Jiang Cheng says and Jin Ling is up and next to Jiang Cheng in an instant.

“A-die and baba?” Wei Wuxian whispers, his mind still reeling with the new revelations, and he’s almost relieved when someone else interrupts the scene.

“Zixuan, are you angering my A-Cheng again?” a woman’s voice suddenly calls out and Wei Wuxian can do nothing but stare in helpless confusion as Jin Zixuan groans while Jin Ling snickers.

“A-niang, seriously, you could think Wanyin is your son,” Jin Zixuan complaints just as Madam Jin comes to a halt next to them.

“Thankfully he is now,” Madam Jin gives back with a smile as she pats Jiang Cheng’s cheek, and Wei Wuxian has to watch as his brother just lets it happen.

Without blushing even, which means this must be a regular occurrence.

“It’s not him who made me angry,” Jiang Cheng reassures her and Madam Jin’s eyes fall on Wei Wuxian.

“Oh?” she says and Wei Wuxian falls into a sloppy bow.

“Madam Jin,” he greets her only to startle when Zidian crackles again.

“That’s Sect Leader Jin to you,” Jiang Cheng snaps, just as Jin Ling chuckles.

“What. The fuck,” Wei Wuxian whispers and when three voices snap “Language” at him, he wonders just what the hell he stumbled into this time.

Family by Quiet_crash

G | Lan Zhan/Wei Ying | Multi-chapter: 47.1k | Notes: (unfinished), time travel, fix-it fic,

Summary:

The truth of the matter was that when it came to taking care of people and their problems, both he and Wei Ying were of one mind. However, whereas Lan Wangji was taught to care for himself as much as other people, Wei Ying, from early age, was taught that him having needs was burdensome. He disregarded his own pain with frightening ease and offered up evey part of himself for others to use with no reservation.

Thus, Lan Wangji made sure that his husband's needs were never overlooked, his hurts never unadressed.

So it was that when they purified an ancient temple and its goddess benevolently offered them each a wish in return, Wei Ying asked for his family: for Jiang Cheng to never have lost his parents and his core, for Jiang Yanli to never have lost her husband and her own life because of him; Lan Zhan asked for Wei Ying.

M | Lan Zhan/Wei Ying | One-Shot: 7.3k | Notes: Canon-divergent, Yiling Patriach, Sunshot campaign, angst, happy ending, character study, getting together

Summary:

A confrontation after a tense war meeting, and kisses stolen on a bridge in the dark.

Lan Wangji had long since accepted the fact that he had no sense when it came to Wei Wuxian. His vision always narrowed down to one singular point, and everything else was secondary, including the rules of his own clan.

He’d come to terms with that knowledge months ago, when he broke the rules Lan by being outside the Cloud Recesses at night, playing Inquiry for the upteenth time in the hope of an answer.

The long road home by dea_liberty

M | Lan Zhan/Wei Ying | One-Shot: 9.1k | Notes: Post-canon, family, happy ending, feelings, marriage, angst, 13 years

In the aftermath of everything, they weave their way through the past and the present, and towards the future they'll make together.

Finally, Lan Wangji finds his way home.

Summary:

The members of the Lan Clan have never been particularly well-known for their good judgement when it comes to matters of the heart.

Looking at You Always, All Ways by Keysmashed

PG | Lan Zhan/Wei Ying | Multi-Chapter: 29.1k | Notes: Canon-divergent, time travel, fix-it fic, fluff, angst, happy ending, LWJ POV

Summary:

Lan Wangji thought it was just a dream but the pain of being pierced in the chest by his own sword, by his own self whose appearance was taller and older was too real. The ground under his feet disappeared and he fell, and fell, and continued falling until a voice he thought he would never hear again broke his fall and suddenly, he was no longer falling. It was the voice he had so dearly missed.

Wei Ying's voice.

----A Time Travel Fix-It where Lan Wangji goes back in time to his first fateful encounter with Wei Wuxian for a chance to rewrite history.

Hyperprosexia

by malkinmalkout

E, 192k, wangxian

Summary: As a Sentinel Wei Wuxian is constantly scrutinized by the cultivation world. He usually doesn’t mind but when Lan Wangji labels him as a threat Wei Wuxian is pushed into proving he’s more than his designation in order to befriend his unwanted rival.

As Guide Lan Wangji needs to be in constant control to ensure that other people’s emotions do not overwhelm him and to keep his own emotions from influencing others. This control is challenged when he meets Wei Wuxian, who seems to break down every one of Lan Wangji’s barriers.

My comments: Aaahh, I love this so much. It's the first Sentinel crossover I've seen in this fandom, and it's perfect. Wwx is two-sense Sentinel, which is good, because Sentinels have a habit of going Feral if they crack more than that. Of course, a third starts while he's a student at Cloud Recesses, and surprisingly, the icy jade lwj helps him instead of reporting him. (Unbeknownst to wwx, lwj is a Guide, but has hidden it all his life because they don't let Guide's become cultivators. But he learned a few tricks from his mother before she died, so.) Wwx and lwj get along surprisingly well, to the point where lwj comes to Lotus Pier to visit for a while... and visit the orphanage that wwx is sponsoring for street kids (they're all so cute, and wangxian get to practice being fantastic dads).

Story touches on canon here and there, enough that the Wens are a threat... but prevented from burning Cloud Recesses and destroying Lotus Pier by wwx and lwj and wwx's incredibly powerful talisman inventions. (He gets a Mastery in that, too, which is lovely.) Wwx loses his core and falls in the Burial Mounds, so has to cultivate with resentful energy. Author has done great world-building with yin-qi and yang-qi and how Sentinels and Guides use their different versions and how wwx comes up with a unique idea to use his to stop from going Feral when all five senses are alight.

Excerpts below are less an encapsulation of the story than there are just little funny bits that caught my eye:

Also, Author's end notes and recaps of the previous chapter always crack me up. Every time.

Excerpt 1: “Lan Zhan this is why I’m your only friend. Be nice,” Wei Wuxian orders, not willing to let the slight pass even though Lan Wangji is doing him a massive favour. “Wen Ning isn’t like the rest of the Wens. I thought we agreed not to be so quick to judge.”

Guilty at being called out for his bad behaviour Lan Wangji’s eyes turn down and away, his version of a contrite grimace. In apology he bows at Wen Ning, murmuring his customary greeting.

With surprising strength Wen Ning quickly bows back as to not seem impolite, easily dislodging Wei Wuxian’s hold.

“There. Now we can all be friends,” Wei Wuxian announces, clapping Wen Ning on the back and ignoring the skeptical look Lan Wangji shoots him along with Wen Ning’s badly hidden disbelief.

Jiang Cheng adds his own contribution by blandly asking, “are you this stupid on purpose or is it just a natural gift?”

Wei Wuxian can’t believe he has surrounded himself with pessimistic introverts.

Excerpt 2: [Madam Yu's] anger over the disparities between Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng cannot really be made anymore, since Wei Wuxian turned out to be a coreless cut-sleeve demonic cultivator with six-senses and an adopted Wen child, while Jiang Cheng is a powerful and respected Jiang Sect Leader that successfully led his sect through war.

Sentinels & Guides, sentinel wei wuxian, guide lan wangji, empath lan wangji, slow burn, rivals to lovers, fluff, humor, hurt/comfort, angst, students at cloud recesses, alternating POV, flirting, crushes, emotional repression, ust, shameless wei wuxian, genius wei wuxian, talismans, telepathy, telepathic landscape, mental bond, telepathic sex, marriage, orphanage, mental bond landscape, burial mounds, resentful energy, golden core, loss of golden core, feral wei wuxian, accidental baby acquisition, everybody lives nobody dies, fix-it, @malkinmalkout

This is not quite as sad as it should, I think, but let's share just in case..

---

JFM loved his wife. He really did. And YZY knew it and reciprocated. She was still the fierce Violent Spider and he was still the calm and patient, quite docile, Sect Leader Jiang. They lived well and happy, as happy as they could be.

JFM had a sworn brother, his right hand and servant WCZ. This man had a wife he loved as well. They both were JFM's best friends. But everything was well. YZY wasn't jealous at all because she knew her husband loved her and to think that WCZ and CSSR could love anyone but each other was ridiculous. Same as JFM loving anyone but YZY. So everything was well. They were important for her husband and she could appreciate both friends's personalities. Calm, kind servant WCZ, loud, warm rough cultivator CSSR. Everything was fine.

When WWX was born, he was born as a servant. When he was raised, he was raised to serve, just as his father had been. He was a good kid, he was a good servant. JFM was kind enough and loved WCZ enough to never discourage his children's friendship with WWX. It was ok, he himself had took his own personal servant as his sworn brother and everything was fine. He was hoping that WWX would become the same for JC, after all. If there was someone he would trust his son with was the son of his best friend.

WWX had a loving family. His mother was loud and obnoxious and his father was proper and kind. He was loved, he truly was. And he loved them in kind.

CSSR was a free soul, tho. She had accepted to stay on LP for the born of her son but WWX was already old enough to walk on his own so she decided it was time for her to go. To travel. To meet the world and night-hunt around and help ppl.

WCZ knew this day would come. He knew his wife, he knew she couldn't stay on a single place for too long. She would feel caged otherwise and a free bird like her should never had their wings cut. She was made for the open skies.

But WZC had responsibilities, he was a Sect Leader's right hand, second in command. He couldn't just leave like that. So they made a deal, because they loved each other very much, so she could go explore the world for a few months and then come back to his husband and son's side, at least for a bit. Just so she could see WWX grow. Just so she could reunite with his husband and hug him and made him laugh. So everything was fine.

Tiny itty WWX would wait on the docks besides his father the day his mother was set to arrive, already old enough to try to be still and proper, as his servant status demanded, but still too young to hardly manage it, almost vibrating out of his skin at the mere thought he was gonna see his mother again that day, fidgeting anstily and giggling from time to time, always breaking property and running to the boat and onto his mother's strong embrace as soon as she was on sight. Everything was fine.

JC sometimes made him company in the waiting, specially when they got a bit older and JC could leave the main house more freely. He would feel a bit jealous at how carefree WWX can be and how loving and affectionate his mother was. He wanted his own parents to be as doting and caring as them, but a noble's property and status stop them to show excessive affection as much as they indeed loved him. But it was fine, CSSR was amazing and affectionate enough for both of them. She was funny and strong and amazing and would tell silly jokes she would loudly laugh at even if some weren't funny at all, and she could kill a bunch of monsters all on her own and she would sneak snacks and bring them trinkets and tokens and stories of her adventures, so it's ok. Some ppl are just that way. JC is lucky to have all he has in life.

So WWX is still young and he's waiting on the docks because his mother's last letter said she was arriving home as soon as her night-hunt was over which meant just two to three days and it was time now! And so he waited. All day long, until his father went to fetch him telling him that maybe tomorrow was the day and he had duties now. WWX waited the next day as well, duties be damned. But his mother didn't arrive. "Maybe she got delayed again," his father tells him. "She will probably arrive before her letter telling us as such as it always happens," because it's true, it's not the first time it happens. Everything is fine.

The next day she doesn't arrive. Nor the next one. Nor the next after that. Now even WCZ is worried. JFM approves of a search party leaded by his own right man. He would even go himself if his Sect Leader duties didn't call on him so near an important conference.

"I'll come back soon" WCZ tells his son. "With your mother in tow. I promise." WWX believes him. He has no reason to not do so anyway.

And so he waits. Days and nights. Waiting for her parents's boat to show itself on the horizon, to reach the dock and hug him, and kiss him, and almost crush his ribs with how strong CSSR's hugs are.

And so he waits and waits and waits until he can't wait anymore because he has "duties" and training and studies, like all of that mattered more than his parents arriving to him. So, as easily as breathing air, nothing was ok and anything was fine.

Part of me wants WCZ to be back with only a red ribbon, a bit torn, still bloody, to gift his son as the last token he would ever have of her mother. And another part of me just wants WWX to wait for parents that will never come back to him.

What I know for sure is that JC stopped wishing his parents were like WWX's.

Too bad Lotus Pier burned.

I have no other preference in terms of canon, modern, etc. I also don’t care about who tops or bottoms (if that’s an element of the fic). Thank you so much in advance~ ☺️

~*~

10. For the next itmf i was wondering if there was any fics mentioned wwxs trauma from being homeless in yiling as a kid, specifically food issues or dealing with creeps not just his fear of dogs thanks for the help!

~*~

11. Are there any fics which focus on Wei Wuxian rebuilding his core? Fics which focus on him meditating, fighting, cultivating to go from weak back to strong? Likewise fics which show the difficulties and struggles he faces while his core is still weak, such as being cold, weak, or needing to eat. (secondary question: would this kind of fic generally be included in the “golden core fix it” tag?)

Step Into The Stream by julomaiboulomai (G, 7k, LQR & WWX, wangxian, post-canon, outsider pov, 5+1, reconciliation, WWX living in Cloud Recesses, LQR pov, gusu lan rules) touches a bit of that in the background and I find it lovely

~*~

12. heeeeeeyy for the next itmf I’d like some mind reading or sharing thoughts or sharing feelings or that kind of thing with wangxian. I was thinking of something maybe funny like lwj and wwx just having a silent conversation while everyone else wonders why they’re staring like that at the other, but something more serious is welcome too!

14. Good day! I hope you’re having a great time. So ahmm, can you recommend me fics where one character (like wwx or jwy) reincarnated/isekai in a novel they read and then became the side/main/outsider character in that novel?

scroll on for a godtier thread about yunmeng bros

courtesy of @themackenziemachine

(1) This is going to get long & rambly, dont mind me. So.. WWX loves perfumes & scents. Every time they end up at a market he ends up at a perfumer's stall smelling everything until his nose is burning like some sort of crazed kid at a Yankee Candle & making whoever's with him do the same. ("Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan! You have to smell this one it's my favorite!" "Mn. Wei Ying has many favorites") Somehow he's still surprised when LWJ gives him a small vial of fancy indulgent scent for his birthday.

(2) LWJ is so bummed when he doesn't ever wear it. But he takes it everywhere and tells him smelling it makes him less lonely when they have to be apart so it cant have been that bad a gift. LSZ probably tries the same sometime with similar results. (He's decided that they should celebrate the anniversary of LWJ's visit to the burial mounds every year and gets his fathers' gifts accordingly.

(3) He's also been the victim of one of WWX's perfume shop sprees so it seemed like a good idea.) He takes it a little more to heart and probably complains to his friends though.Which is where JL comes in because, as in most stories like this, he's the common thread that can make the connection no one else will. He doesn't think much of it that first time, just scoffs that WWX is so wierd it's no wonder he'd be impossible to buy gifts for.

(4) (And immediately sets to thinking about what his da jui might like because like any good Jin one of his primary love languages is gifts but that's a different story) It doesn't actually click until the next major cultivation conference. JC leaves the opening banquet as early as is polite stirring up the usual gossip about how unsociable he is and it's no wonder he hasn't married.

(5) WWX finds JL before he can start a fight at the first major event he's hosting as sect leader and shoves a bottle and a packet of herbs into his hands. "For your uncle's headache. One cup of the medicine now, and one when he wakes up in the morning. The herbs can be brewed into a tea to settle his stomach." JL is too shocked to remember he was about to go start trouble but before he can ask how WWX knew he's already bounding across the room to hang off LWJ's arm and pester the other guests.

(6 oop hit my anon limit but idc) (Because what could he have said if he'd stayed to be asked. That of course he knew, JC is his baby brother? That it should have been obvious to anyone with eyes? That between the crowds and everyone wearing their best (strongest) perfumes & the stress of wanting everything to be perfect for JL he's surprised he lasted as long as he did? Certainly not that if it had been up to him he would have dragged JC out of there an hour ago when his eye started twitching.)

(7) Later that week when they have a free evening the juniors take off for the Lanling markets with WWX (who's totally there to supervise) and LWJ (actually supervising). It's such a relief to be away from the politics of it all & everyone is having a great time. When WWX waves them over to the perfume stall LSZ & LJY (who know better) suddenly become very interested in the merits of several silk coin purses in the stall across the way leaving JL to go see what he wants.

(8) Less patient than his husband or son it only takes four bottles before JL snaps that he'll buy him whichever one he wants if he'll just stop before he (JL) burns his nose off. WWX laughs and tells him that he doesn't wear strong scents anyway. And between the Gusu medicine from earlier and a vaguely familiar look that comes over his face when he says it it clicks for JL who can't help shoving him and calling him an idiot.

(9)"What? What? What did I do?" And he looks so genuinely confused and slightly wounded that JL has to roll his eyes and relent. He stands and stares at him so long and hard that WWX smile flickers and he starts to fidget before telling him, "You know, juijui never let anyone at Lotus Pier get a dog." And with that revelation he turns on his heel and walks (doesn't run and /certainly/ doesn't at all flee) off to find his friends so he doesn't have to see his uncle's look of shock and confusion.

#OKAY THIS KILLED MY HEART #BROTHERS QUIETLY CARING FOR EACH OTHER #LIKE 24/7 #JC'S WELLBEING IS A CONSTANT PRIORITY FOR WWX #AND VICE VERSA #CAN you tell i love this #god #jc never let anyone at lotus pier get a dog #and the medicine...#imma cri #yunmeng bros #also submissions are open now so if anyone wants to make one go for it

About Jiang Fengmian

(I feel like giving my unnecessary opinion on JFM today)

So here’s the thing, I’m really puzzled about the absolute hatred the fandom bears for Jiang Fengmian?

In my opinion he’s got a few, minor character flaws, that everyone then blew out of proportion. Everyone seems to hate how terrible of a father he is to Jiang Cheng, and sure, he’s not perfect at all, and led Jiang Cheng to believe he didn’t like him, because of the difference between how he treated Wei Wuxian, and how he treated Jiang Cheng. But I feel there are several things that we fail to take into account when thinking about that.

The reasons why I personally think Jiang Fengmian did not favor Wei Wuxian over Jiang Cheng:

1. as said in the drama (or in the book at least), WWX is someone else’s kid, while Jiang Cheng is raised with expectations, becoming the clan leader. He’s harsher on him because of that. This is an explanation WWX says out loud himself, but I get that he’s not necessarily always right, so I understand if people took it as an unreliable one. However,

2. WWX was his friends’ son, and

3. when Jiang Fengmian took WWX in, he had spent several years living in the street, starving, and fighting wild dogs for food. No wonder JFM was especially gentle, lenient with him! Wouldn’t you be? I personally understand why he would be a bit more gentler with a kid he just took away from a miserable life than with his son who was always sheltered.

4. Madam Yu is a major bitch to WWX and continuously made sure he never felt welcome in the family. In the face of that, I imagine JFM would have tried to counterbalance that, if it makes sense.

5. One of the major examples of the difference of treatment we see happens when WWX barely just woke up from the Xuanwu cave thing. JC had saved WWX yes, but WWX had slaughtered a monster with LWJ - and he was still not in good shape, still in bed - and JC loses his temper on him for no apparent reason.

6. I don’t know if we can entirely trust JC’s point of view. Most of the issue at hand is JC’s continued envy and jealousy towards WWX, and not all of it is relies on Jiang Fengmian. It’s also because WWX is gifted, and it’s also because (I’m so sorry I love him but) he blows it all out of proportion himself. For example, I definitely understand why he was so sad and angry upon having to be separated from his dogs, and he saw it as a sign that WWX was taking priority over him in the household - instead of it being so that the other kid could even feel welcome.

7. So... this isn’t a point in favor of JFM (quite the opposite actually) as much as a point to serve my opinion that he doesn’t favor WWX over JC. But - the last time he sees his children, in the boat, just before the Lotus Cove burns, he comforts Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng, wipes away their tears... And then tells Wei Wuxian to take care of them. When it really mattered, he didn’t even actually treat him as one of his own children! You can’t tell me he doesn’t love JC, that he favors WWX.

Yes, JFM was in love with Cangse Sanren and it fucks up his marriage with Madam Yu and the way both of them interact with their kids, but to me there is a lot more to it, and I am quite puzzled about how the fandom turned him into a caricature of terrible, neglecting father towards JC (even though he’s doing so infinitely much better than most of the other fathers in the shows but that’s,, another problem entirely - I’ll admit the bar isn’t high)

#the untamed #cql #jiang fengmian #jiang cheng #I actually like jiang fengmian ok the few times we see him he seems to be a gentle dude #he's just really chill #he values his daughter's opinion in her own marriage which I'll admit again the bar isn't high but considering the state of the misogyny i #in the universe it takes place #you know what I mean #he didn't do right by his wife though but that was a problem caused and suffered by both of them #I do value everyone's opinion #you can come at me with a rebuttal and all just please don't be rude I'm soft #my untamed posts

9. Hi mods; thanks for all you do! For the next "in the mood for": I'm looking for fics where Jiang Yanli decides "FREE BROTHER" and takes on a big sister role for someone (e.g. Jin Guangyao, Mo Xuanyu, Nie Huaisang, etc.), and they become as ride or die for her as WWX/JC.

10. For the next ITMF (or ficfinder?), fics bringing up the increasingly pointy and lethal looking hair thingies that LZ wears, going into late/post canon era... @mreisse

For 10, I did mean the hair ornaments. Just anything that mentions how elaborate and beautiful they are, WWX helping with (or even wearing some) would be extra wonderful...

re:10, can they clarify what they mean? lan zhan wears a guan; as do other members of the gentry. the actor wang yibo isnt as tall as wei yings actor which is why his headpeices are on the taller side, it was meant to add height. does the requestor want fics that mention this the guan? if so in what context? like Wei ying helping him take his hair down?

But it's WangXianChen do i don't know if the requestor is comfortable with it

11. Hi! Hi! I hope I’m doing this right. Can you recommend me some fics where LWJ fell out of love to wwx? I don’t mind if it is because of a curse, memory loss, or whatever. Thank you so much

12. Hey! Hope everything's good! I have two requests if that's fine. No pressure though! I don't mind either way since they're both connected/similar to each other.

I just want to ask if you have fanfic recommendations where LZ ignores (or blatantly hates) WY until WY just stops and now LZ misses all of it and he has to *somehow* grovel? Or anything about groveling, really! It would be nice if LZ doesn't like WY because he makes him feel things but he hurts WY in the process.

And also, this is kinda similar to the first one but do you have fics where LZ misunderstands WY? The same process of groveling because I'm really in the mood for that lol. @nichiraeth

and here comes the summertime by ribena (M, 72k, WangXian, Modern AU, College/University, Academia, this is set in America, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, Slice of Life, Humor, Light Angst, Falling In Love, Found Family) it is so hard for me to find fics where lan zhan, after being mean/misunderstanding Wei ying, actually grovels? these are my 'enemies to lovers' wangxian bookmarks where I think the reader might be satisfied with lan zhans actions to make up for his snippiness😬
