Practiced Suffering

a/n: i'm in a mood

tw: mentions of gun violence and school in relation to each other; vague mention of a previously encountered situation regarding another teacher and student (though not necessarily involving affairs of any kind) reader's descretion is advised

Yan Fenglang realized very early on that the meaning of pain, the meaning of suffering, was very different here than what she remembered.

Here, pain was hurt. Here, pain meant being hit - being slapped - being stabbed. Here, pain was a tangible thing usually caused by something or someone else. Here the suffering of society only so far extended into the higher ups, the people who decided on what is to be done and how to get it done. The people who held and managed resources and held the duty of ownership.

Here, reputation was key - yet not in the way Yan Fenglang knew. There was no presence of anonymity, no concept of personas in the way that she knew. The delicate dance of society and propriety was a much less complex version to the one she knew.

For a woman born into a time where words meant more than their definitions, for a woman born into a day and age where mental fortitude is a valued strength, it almost seemed rather mundane.

"Work Hard. Play Hard."

She always felt the saying infuriating. The meaning made sense, good hard work always made for a more satisfying rest, yet in her world 'hard' could often be confused with 'suffering'. Hard meant dealing with unreasonable customers. Hard meant taking the abuse of superiors for fear of losing income and therefore safety. Hard meant struggling to decide the line between helpful and unhealthy.

Work hard play hard.

Even if she couldn't see, she needed to fire.

Even if she couldn't read, she needed to learn.

Even if she struggled to breathe, she needed to run.

She did. Even if it meant suffering.

What choice did she have? It was the way of her world, it is the way to survive. Suffering is a fact.

Until it wasn't.

In another life, Yan Fenglang cracked. In another life, Yan Fenglang would have raged to the heights of suffering and pain unlike never before seen, for this world has not yet seen a suffering so well endured. This world held no concept of the fragile mind hastily patched by platitudes of the well-meaning; this world was one of physical labor still.

Yan Fenglang's world was one of mind games and mental facilities. Yan Fenglang's world was one where a single income was calculated and split, Yan Fenglang's world was a massive test in patience and control. A constant battle of necessity vs. want to a scale beyond comprehension. Yan Fenglang knew exactly the thing to say to get something or to get out of it, she had undergone training of how to talk down the frantic and the crazed, the ones with little else left to tether their fragile sanities.

She was a teacher of her world, so she knew how to organize bunkers. She knew how to train children to hide in small spaces and not make a sound, she knew how to explain to a child how disguise their presence with the blood of another. She knew the exact words to coach a child on how to best deal with a gunshot. She knew how easy it was to never realize you had been shot in the first place.

She knew how to file a police report against a fellow professor.

She knew to backup incriminating evidence.

She went to the gym only because she needed enough strength to pull a great amount of weight with little to no issue. She knew a lot of things.

Her world was not easy, and neither was the one she found herself in. But sometimes, sometimes she was happy she was no longer where she was.

Sometimes, she was glad she died and escaped it.

Do you have any thoughts about Jiang Cheng and Ouyang Zizhen? I think JC would be a great sect leader to the younger generation, almost a mentor in how he asks clarifying questions that help them fill in the gaps of their presentations. But I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I can't lie, I don't have a lot of thoughts about OYZZ period-- he's very cute in the moments he has, and I love him as part of the juniors quartet, but he doesn't really make much of an impression on me

That said, I thing Jiang Cheng is probably a great but distant leader. I suspect he's extremely sensitive to accusations of favoritism (to anyone but Jin Ling) and takes care not to give a lot of one-on-one time to anyone, both to avoid preference and because he's just not the kind of person who's out there bonding with you and offering life lessons. I think you're absolutely right, though, that he knows how to direct his bluntness towards helping disciples improve, and is never out to humiliate or discourage anyone

when I was in grad school, there was one professor who put on this very obvious veneer of bluster and meanness-- or at least, it was obviously a veneer to me, and to some other students. other students took it at face value and were terrified of him, but the students who could see through it really liked him and got a lot out of butting heads with him. I'd imagine it's kinda the same for Jiang disciples and Jiang Cheng

#ask answered #i'm never not thinking about how he restructured the jiang sect after lotus pier burned #how he rewarded the people who helped him during the war #how he made the only sect that wasn't based around a clan!

i have the burning need to write one of those "came back wrong" fics for wwx when they find him again after the first three months in the burial mounds during the sunshot campaign but like. i need to make it REALLY bad

his body shattered when he hit the ground, and resentful energy is the only thing keeping him together. it's so agonising he's learned a way to deaden himself to the chronic pain, to the point that he can get sliced by a sword and literally not feel it, even when he's being patched up again afterwards.

he can barely eat. everything tastes like ash. the smell of meat reminds him of the carrion he was forced to consume to survive. jiang yanli starts preparing vegetarian soups for him filled with even more spice just so he can taste something.

he can't put weight on, but also isn't losing any, and he's pale with sunken cheeks and when he changes to clean himself every single joint seems like its one wrong twist away from bursting through his paper-thin skin.

wwx took in nearly all of the resentful energy in the burial mounds to keep himself alive, to hold him together. there are a thousand ghosts living under his skin, constantly screaming and chattering and whispering, not a single second of true silence. when they're packed in so close to his soul sometimes he forgets that he isn't a we, speaks in plurals and has memories and knowledge that the teenage head disciple of the yunmeng jiang should never have acquired.

that amount of resentful energy would be enough to poison anyone's mind, but only wen qing has read the studies conducted on the effects of consuming human flesh on the living. wei wuxian's brain is slowly deforming, proteins folding all wrong as the prions wrack the entire organ. he has seizures, hallucinates, unpredictable mood swings.

it's clear to literally everyone that wei wuxian is a literal dead man walking. even after the sunshot campaign is finished and he goes home to yunmeng, there is no chance of him getting better, even if they purged all the resentment from him and let his skeleton break apart again. he rescues the wen remnants and brings them back to lotus pier, but wen qing can't fix this. all his siblings and friends can do is watch as each day the wwx they know and love continues to disappear, until all thats left is a skeletal figure unable to move, periodically laughing and mumbling to himself, trapped entirely in delusion as his brain continues to destroy itself.

wwx still dies horribly. but this time he dies surrounded by his loved ones, all tied together by their love for wwx, forming strong and unbreakable bonds.

and eventually, when a young depressed boy still gives his life for revenge, wwx is given a second chance in a body that is whole and unbroken with a brain that works properly, and his siblings and lan zhan and wen qing and all the others welcome him home.

Summary: One of the fragments of Wei Wuxian's soul, splintered during the first siege of the Burial Mounds, uses the energy released by the Yin Tiger Tally and flees backwards through time to another moment where Wei Wuxian was close to death – after the fall of Lotus Pier, at the hands of Jiang Wanyin. Knowing how his first life will end, Wei Wuxian decides to hide his survival, and leave the cultivation world behind. Kay's comments: This story left me absolutely speechless, it was just so perfect! As if someone magically knew all my favourite things and wrote them into a story. It's got genius inventor Wei Wuxian, who becomes a rogue cultivator of sorts and finds his family with the Wens! It's got actual consequences from grave injuries that aren't magically healed! It's got Wen Qing being a good leader and the best sister! It's got Lan Wangji suffering the pain of loss much sooner and therefore learning his lesson sooner and holding on tight to Wei Wuxian when they meet again! It's got the sects getting what they have coming! And it's also incredibly well-written and I literally couldn't stop myself from reading it in one sitting. Excerpt: Wei Ying is too exhausted and in too much pain to deal with the rage, fear and grief. He is already overwhelmed with those feelings from the fall of Lotus Pier. He cannot process the memory or any of his emotions now. Right now, he needs to focus on healing as much as he can. The Wen will come for them soon. His golden core opened his airways and protected them while he was unconscious. He focuses the remainder of his spiritual energy on his back; he needs to stop the bleeding. He can't stay here, but he needs to be sure he won't loose too much blood or get infected through the open, weeping gashes on his back. He meditates as Jiang Cheng's breathing evens out, having finally burned through his rage and cried himself to sleep beside the broken, bloody body of his childhood companion. Once he is sure all the bleeding stopped, he slowly rolls himself into the water of the river next to them. When Jiang Cheng wakes, it will look like Wei Wuxian moved in his sleep – drowned and carried away by the river.

On Life debts in MDZS

Recently finished watching Anle Zhuan, and holy crap, it really just sets even more into perspective how important life debts were in Chinese culture, especially in the days of dynasties. Long story short, the FL has a filial obligation to clear her family's name and exact vengeance on the ML's family - but you know what throws a wrench in her plans? The fact that the ML keeps saving her. Of course, this is a moral dilemma more easily offset by how she keeps saving him as well, but the fact that this is even worth mentioning and considered a serious quandary by the main character and her allies at one point really says something. And it got me thinking deeper about the implications of such life debts in MDZS.

In MDZS, life debts are immeasurably important. And how you honour that life debt is a measure of your character. When you owe someone a life debt, you owe them something immeasurably precious. In MDZS, MXTX knows that and shows it. She uses life debts to tie characters together and to drive the plot.

Life debts are the reason Wei Wuxian feels so duty-bound to the Jiang Sect and the Jiang family. They're the reason he's willing to lose an arm if it means no damage comes to his sect. They're the reason he tolerates being punished with methods beyond what's ever acceptable for a Head Disciple of a Sect. Because Jiang Fengmian saved him from living a life on the streets all those years ago, never mind that JFM himself owed Wei Wuxian's mother a life debt.

Life debts are the reason Wen Zhuliu is so blindly loyal to Wen Ruohan, committing countless atrocities in the name of the man who saved his life.

Life debts (and perhaps also genuine love), are why Jin Guangyao is so loyal to Lan Xichen. Because despite every other moral he eschews in his pursuit of power, he will always remember the sincere kindness Lan Xichen showed him when every other cultivator judged him for his heritage. And in the same way, we see Lan Xichen protecting him from Nie Mingjue under the excuse that Lan Xichen owes his life to Jin Guangyao.

Now let's talk about when life debts come into conflict with "filial duty".

It always irks me when people bring up family and filial duty to criticize WWX's "betrayal" of his sect, or try to undermine his judgement and actions when he protected the Wen Remnants. To me, it just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the novel and the context around the text. When people call Wei Wuxian a "troublemaker" for leaving the Jiang Sect, they're falling prey to the very prejudices and classism MXTX condemned in the novel. Yes, the Wens burned down Lotus Pier. Yes, the remaining Jiang Sect would've had an obligation to go to war and exterminate the Wens. But you know what brings this duty to avenge your sect to question - in almost every way you look at it? When someone who never even participated in the bloodshed saves your life.

So, if we want to talk about filial duty and reciprocation - Jiang Cheng - and by extension, his sect, owes Wen Qing and Wen Ning a massive life debt (and that's not even considering the GC transfer). Even if we ignore the cultural context regarding debts, that's huge. Let's take a step back and look at what Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng owe the Wens.

The initial life debt. Wen Ning saves Jiang Cheng directly from probable execution (like his parents), as well as hides Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng from the Wen soldiers in his own room. In doing this, Wen Ning has already crossed the line of treason towards his own sect. Keep in mind - Wen Ruohan is his uncle. And here he is, risking his life to save two boys - only one of whom he's actually had any meaningful interaction with.

The days after. Both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng are heavily wounded, the former from his whipping via Zidian + wounds sustained during the battle, the latter from Wen Chao's torture. In the days following, Wen Qing nurses both Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian - enemies of her clan - back to health.

The debt Jiang Cheng owes further. People need a proper send-off in order to ensure their passage to Diyu, or the Underworld - and that could only be done for JFM and YZY because WN risked his life even further to bring back the personal items (and in some adaptations, their bodies) of Jiang Cheng's parents. In simple terms, Jiang Cheng wouldn't even have Zidian if not for Wen Ning.

The golden core transfer. There are two separate components to this. The first is limited - from Jiang Cheng's perspective.

Here's what JC knows: 1. He has no core, but there is a chance he can have his core restored by Baoshan Sanren. 2. The only way Baoshan Sanren would ever agree to this is if he impersonated Wei Wuxian, the son of her beloved disciple. 3. Jiang Cheng is a sect heir; he grew up wealthy, in relative comfort. He's at the top of the food chain. Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is an orphan. He grew up being demeaned for his heritage. In truth, he inherited nothing from his parents. But what Jiang Cheng knows is that Wei Wuxian did have an inheritance: one precious thing, the location of an immortal. And then he gives that favour-his entire inheritance-to Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian, at this moment, essentially hands over everything he has left of his dead parents (who Madam Yu has slandered for his entire life) to Jiang Cheng.

From Wei Wuxian's perspective, the debt is this: his close friend and heir to the Jiang Clan has no core. He believes that Jiang Cheng needs his core - as he's been displaying suicidal tendencies after losing his. However, Wen Qing has a theoretical thesis on golden core transfers. This surgery has a 50% chance of success. To the knowledge of everyone involved, Jiang Cheng consented to getting his core back by whatever means necessary. He explicitly never questioned how Baoshan Sanren would restore his golden core. Anonymous organ donors are known to be a thing, even by modern medical standards. And WWX stays awake for two nights and a day without any anesthesia as Wen Qing cuts into his body and takes something he has spent over half of his lifetime cultivating, to give to Jiang Cheng.

"He had to be awake. He had to watch the golden core connected to his spiritual pathways be peeled from his body. He had to feel the gradual suppression, sedation, settlement of his originally surging spiritual powers, all until they became a pool of dead water, unable to rise ever again."

There's definitely also a case to make about Jiang Cheng essentially sacrificing himself to lead the guards away from Wei Wuxian, but you could also argue that Wei Wuxian saved his life just a chapter earlier by dragging him away from Lotus Pier when he returned. Also, it's got nothing to do with the Wen Sibs, towards whom they both owe debts.

By this time, Wen Qing and Wen Ning have already gone above and beyond to help the Jiangs and WWX. Saving the life of the sect heir is one thing, but to perform a never-before-done borderline heretical act of surgery to restore the heir's golden core? Another thing entirely.

The moral obligation of the Jiangs and Wei Wuxian to avenge their sect by killing the Wens does come into conflict with the debts they owe the Wen siblings. But compared to slaughtering Wen Chao, and the Wen soldiers during the Sun, how far does honouring filial duty by exacting vengeance on the Wen Sect go? Wen Qing herself declares she and her brother separate from Wen Ruohan. They're healers. They don't take lives.

From every depiction in Chinese media and culture, life debts are not to be taken lightly. A life debt is meant to be honoured and repaid. It's not something any half-decent person would mention maybe briefly in a Discussion Conference and then immediately shut up about and never mention again when someone louder (*cough*NMJ) speaks up. By turning his back on Wen Qing and Wen Ning, Jiang Cheng had demonstrated a significant moral failure as well as a misunderstanding of his own sect's motto. Along with his personal reasons, Wei Wuxian has every reason to protect the Wen Remnants.

So why, people ask, is Wei Wuxian so hellbent on protecting Wen Ning, Wen Qing, and the rest of the Wen Remnants? The easiest answer: he's a good person. He's compassionate, kind-hearted, empathetic to a fault; he isn't the type of person to stand by and watch if innocents and the helpless starve or suffer. He saw and recognized that what the Jins were doing to the prisoners of war was wrong, and chose to interfere. The other answer? He owes them a debt. He owes Wen Qing and Wen Ning a debt the rest of the Jiangs don't even know about. You want to discuss it in simple terms? Wen Ning is the only reason the Jiang Sect still stands. Wen Qing is the only reason the Jiang Sect has a cultivator for a leader by the end of MDZS. She committed the equivalence of cultivation heresy to save Jiang Cheng because Wei Wuxian begged her. WWX defending her family in return is…. Really the least he could do.

I've seen people calling the Wen Remnants war criminals, even equating them to the mafia, and I can't help but think - what book were those people even reading? if you're not willing to consider the culture and values or just use basic critical thinking when consuming a piece of media - don't try to slander the actions of its characters. Anyone who read the novel and understood the intended themes would not, in good faith, condemn Wei Wuxian's decision to protect the Wen Remnants.

1. I have been looking for this fic for WEEKS!! , I read this fic many months ago, so I don't really remember it well. In this Wei Wuxian is kinda like possessed or something, it's like after his 3 months in burial mounds he comes out very changed he has become very emotionless and has become mute as in he neve ever speaks at all, he always obeys his Sect Leader (Jiang Cheng) and has over all just become a machine who listens to what his master say. Jiang Change,Jiang Yanli and Lan Wangji are very concerned and disturbed about his behaviour. There are chapters where Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng try to cheer him up or make him speak something but it never works.And as u can imagine lan Wangji is heartbroken as well

Then i don't remember how exactly but in the end they show Jiang Yanli,Jiang Cheng,Lan Wangji,Nie Huasiang, and an unconscious Wei Wuxian in the burial mounds and it shows that the burial mound spirits had bargained with wei wuxian when he was thrown in and in order to escape from the burial mounds and to protect his family Wei Wuxian had sacrificed his heart to it. But in the end he regains it and he goes back to being normal. And it's an Overall happy ending.

7. Hiii!! I am looking for a fic I read a long time ago, so I don't remember most of the details. Sorry about that. What I remember about it clearly is that WWX was never found by Jiang Fengmian or any cultivator. Many years later he becomes a minister/official of some kind for the emperor, who is not related to the cultivation world. Now comes the fuzzy part, so it may or may not be helpful for finding that fic. The emperor knows when the war breaks out and sends WWX to help settle the war, and WWX once again becomes a leading cause for the demise of Wen Sect. And obviously WWX and LWJ fall in love during that time.

8. Hi again! I'm looking for a modern AU where LZ gains friends after wy's death/disappearance.

So wy has a lot of friends, like jc jyl wq wn nhs jzx lqy etc, and by being in a relation w wy, lz also has access to them.

But once wy is gone lz thinks the link between wy's friends and lz is non-existant and starts to spiral from the loss of wy, alone.

But the friends don't let lz go, barge into lz apartment and makes a space for themselves and help lz grieve n move on from the loss of his partner.

Slowly through the years lz feels he also has friends.

Eventually wy does come back and wangxian rekindles their flame. @imstillthinkingaboutithmm

9. Hi! I’ve been searching for a fic I read a while back. It was a modern omegaverse AU (also maybe soulmates) with younger omega LWJ and older alpha WWX. They were in university (LWJ in his 1st year and WWX in his last I think). The uni had a research facility studying a/b/o dynamics, or it might have been soulmates? Anyway, Madam Yu was a professor, and she was actually good and liked WWX and was on his side. Lan Qiren was a professor as well, and I think Wen Qing worked at the clinic as a grad student. I remember one scene where Wangxian were in the clinic and they were fooling around and it was their first time, and the staff had to shoo all the doctors and researchers away (I think there was a 2 way mirror).

13. Hi! I’m trying to find a fic and I can’t remember the name. From what I do remember, it focuses on Lan Sizhui as WWX’s son while he was dead, with Jiang Ching repeatedly inviting him over to get to know his Jiang heritage. I don’t think he knows his other parent is WWX? LWJ doesn’t really want him to go but he eventually goes anyway and learns about his dad’s sect. @finmoryo

17. Hello, I’ve been desperately looking for a particular fic but all I really remember is one scene, where after wangxian reunion and justice being served and all (at least I think that bit has already happened by that point of the fic), it turns out that Wen Qing survived after all but had been kept prisoner. I just remember this scene of her in her cell considering her imminent death because her meals have stopped for a some time already (since JGY is no longer around to provide them or something along those lines, but she doesn’t know that) and then she hears a familiar voice outside and she calls desperately despite barely having a voice and despairs for a moment thinking no one noticed but then WWX, who very much did hear her and was wandering around Koi Tower with Lan Zhan for some reason I can’t remember, brings down the entire prison around her and rescues her. I’m fairly certain there must have been a happy ending, because that’s all I ever read. I know it’s not a lot to go on but it’s been driving me insane trying to find it. Thanks for all your wonderful work!

Wei Wuxian is a sword.

He was raised to be one, after all. Raised as a sword for the sect heir to wield. To protect the sect. He is a sword, and the sword of a cultivator is a respected, spiritual thing. It’s important, but it still is a tool to be used.

When Lotus Pier burns, Yu Ziyuan ordered him to protect Jiang Cheng with his life. He is a sword honed to protect, and he grew up seeing himself that way. So he protects, and protects, and protects, taking hits for those he was made for.

(Little does he know, Jiang Cheng also takes the hits for him. He can’t know. That would break him faster than any external pressure)

He is reforged in the burial mounds. He was broken, left powerless, and thrown for dead in a place no one leaves. But the inferno reforges the parts together. Different, but there, and with a point of brittleness at the seam where he was once whole but no longer is.

During the Sunshot Campaign, he is again a sword. A wicked blade, cursed and jagged. He is feared for what he does, what he is, but respected because for now, he’s a sword in their hands. Wielded expertly, this is a sword that shapes the win of the Sunshot Campaign. But he took hit after hit, rattling his core. He would never expose the cracks, wanting to be of use, forged to be of use, but the cracks are forming.

After, they are afraid. The sword that was used so effectively and brutally during the war is now a threat to the peace. So with hit after hit, they try to take it down, or take it to them. Wei Wuxian is no longer a celebrated war hero, but a threat to everyone’s safety. They push and push and push, and he already has cracks running through him, carefully hidden.

And then he breaks.

And when a sword breaks, the shards fly everywhere. It can hurt both enemies and friends. They can hurt the hand that wields it, the people it protected, everyone. So when Wei Wuxian broke, everyone got hurt. It was messy and scary and painful and deadly.

Wei Wuxian is a sword, and when a sword breaks and is no longer of use, you melt it down and start over.

You know how we see the Junior Quartet and we think "oh the little babies they're so silly and cute" and "protecc the children"?

Yeah. Angst and spoilers under the cut:

Friendly reminder that wwx and his generation were the same age as the Junior Quartet during the start of the Sunshot Campagin.

For perspective:

Wwx was around the same age as post-timeskip Sizhui when lotus pier burned. When he gave up his core. When he was captured and tortured by the Wens. When he was thrown into the Burial Mounds. When he cultivated a new path. When he returned changed.

Wwx, lwj, their whole generation.

They were children, too.

MDZS fanfic ideas I have that most likely won't go anywhere and are mainly just titles atp

@fandom-trash-goblin ‼️

Wish You Were Sober (Chengxian but not necessarily outright)

Post Sunshot when Wei Wuxian is going out drinking everyday

Jiang Cheng being pissed about that (rightfully so, Jesus Christ)

They still love each other but it's hard when you're a sect leader and your SiC is dodging his responsibility's and by extension YOU

Jiang Cheng feels

Jiang Fengmian bashing

idk really I just felt like sharing

Modern AU Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling road trip

The end of the Summer holidays

And they have to get from Yunmeng to Lanling but Jin Ling's flight has been cancelled so Jiang Cheng has to drive him there

All types of shenanigans, for example:

Car breaks down

There's a storm so they have to stop for the night in this shifty ass motel

Jin Ling's awful (in Jiang Cheng's opinion) music

Jiang Cheng's awful (in Jin Ling's opinion) music

There isn't really anything dramatic or overly emotional about this

Just a bit of a laugh

Jiang Fengmian bashing (idk how but I will fucking get it in there idc)

Zhao Zhuliu/Wen Zhuliu is actually Jiang Cheng's real father AU (thank the Lord he looks like his mother)

Major Jiang Fengmian bashing obvs <3

pretty ooc except for Wen Zhuliu who doesn't really have a personality to mischaracterise

Wen Zhuliu being a bit #suspicious when Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian pull up for the Wen indoctrination

Just cause. how can anyone Like That be Jiang Fengmian's son??????

Anyways they're in the cave and Wen Zhuliu refuses to fight Jiang Cheng because by then he's worked out that the boy's birthday is like... suspiciously 9 months away from the last time he and Yu Ziyuan were last Together™

And bby is just like nope

not doing that today

Anyways burning of Lotus Pier and it all goes down the same

EXCEPT

Wen Zhuliu doesn't have anything to do with the death of Yu Ziyuan (if anything he's holding them all back)

Instead of taking his core, Wen Zhuliu takes that child out of Lotus Pier and straight to Wen Qing and renounces the Wen name, going back to Zhao Zhuliu (independent King, we love to see it)

Basically pledges pledges allegiance to Jiang Cheng and kinda follows him around like a guard dog for the entirety of Sunshot

OR

Wen Zhuliu doesn't make the connection of Jiang Cheng potentially being his son until he's got his hand in his chest and is melting Jiang Cheng's golden core

In this AU there'll be some weird thing where you have parts of your parents in your core I don't really wanna explain it

"Jiang Cheng’s golden core was strong for a seventeen year old and was filled with unbridled potential that only the son of the Violet Spider could hold or hope to live up to"

"It spills all over his fingers then onto the floor and he lets it, staring transfixed as his son’s livelihood falls through his fingers"

Basically, Wen Zhuliu gives up his core for Jiang Cheng via Wen Qing and surgery instead of Wei Wuxian and everything else plays out the same minus the demonic cultivation

Jiang Cheng still kills Wen Zhuliu however when he searches his robes he finds a letter addressed "Jiang Wanyin"

Edge of Seventeen (Jiang Cheng Sect Leader succession during Sunshot, potentially Zhancheng 👀)

Pretty much just a character study of Jiang Cheng

Set during the 3-6 months that Wei Wuxian was in the burial mounds

Lan Wangji being there when Wei Wuxian wasn't...

Not a fully fledged idea yet

Jiang Fengmian bashing <3

MDZS Fanon Peeve: WWX and JWY Reconciliation (🤢🤮)

Warnings: Opinionated and probably biased JC bashing. Some cursing. Read at your discretion.

As much as I despise JWY he was a perfectly written character. As perfect as you can write an unhinged insecure megalomaniac underneath the facade of a political leader with their flaws(a lot of flaws).

But lets talk about the ending where people think JWY has changed for the better. Enough change that despite the unlikelihood there is a possibility for reconciliation which is to say none on my part. Which also infuriates me when browsing for fics.

One encounter can definitely change someone's perspective but that doesn't change every aspect of their world view. Especially someone late in their life and as set in their ways is as JWY.

Sure the Golden Core reveal and encounter with JGY might have JWY rethinking of his treatment of WWX during his first life.

But what about his anger about the burning of Lotus Pier, his sister's death, his distaste for LWJ and WWX's relationship? Don't tell me his entire world view just flipped just because he recognized WWX leaving the sect was as his fault? Don't tell me he learned to be a better uncle to JRL because he realized he was a terrible guardian and role model? No one shall dare tell me that JWY stopped being homophobic after the book. Would he actually be a better person just because he learned that the origin of the core he received was falsified?

That encounter had no repentance to the 13 years of hunting "demonic cultivators".

That scene had no realizations about how badly he messed up JRL. In fact he even uses JRL as an excuse to further attack WWX stating the JRL was parentless because of him. JWY literally pushes and shouts at JRL everytime he tries to help.

If this is being a good uncle, then JGY was a f***ing saint to JRL.

What we got out of it was him still feeling that WWX was the cause of the Massacre and the catalyst for his sister's death and how he betrayed him for the Wens. And how shitty he treated his own nephew who was just worried about his health. Oh and his inferiority complex the size of the Pacific.

He spits all that gasoline to set fire to already charred wood.

WWX: Take it as my repayment to the Jiang Family

JWY: Repayment, to my father, my mother, my sister?

WWX: Forget it it's all in the past, let's not mention it again.

He still had the f***ing gall to ask more from WWX as if those people were still alive and that his Golden Core and sufferings weren't enough. As if WWX needs to do more to recompense for the abysmal treatment he received in Lotus Pier. At least WWX has enough emotional maturity for the entirety of the story.

Boohoo. Spare me the tears. That was probably the most unsympathetic and pathetic waterworks I have seen to date.

All he learned was to leave WWX alone. Because nothing good comes out of trying to take what was never owed. a debt that was already paid.

So yeah. There's no changing angry toxic grapes so late in life. We get sh**** wine from fermenting wrongly from the start.

Just because they've agreed to forget doesn't mean they will ever forgive. What JWY became and what his part in the demise of the Wen Remnants is unforgivable to WWX. And to JWY, WWX's 'betrayal'(I laugh at JC stans in my head) is unforgivable to him.

Don't ever mention any possibilities of a WWX and JWY reconciliation to me. That tag should burn.

Ideas/Headcanons about a Yiling Patriarch!Jiang Wanyin Roleswap AU

Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan can't marry, because Jiang Yanli becomes Sect Leader of Yunmeng Jiang when her brother is persumed dead after the burning of Lotus Pier and can't marry out of the Sect. And the Jin won't let their one legitimate heir marry out, obviously.

Lan Shizhui is instead named Jiang Qiumeng ( roughly "dreams of autumm", a very embarassing name, more fit of a sword then a child, also from the same poem as "Wanyin") -> Wei Wuxian named him, obviously. He is very bad at naming children (and swords and animals and...).

Jiang Yanli lives and is Sect Leader of Lotus Pier.

Xuanyu had a sword that he named "Zhen" ("needle" -> because when he was at coi tower other disciples told him he should stick to needlework rather than swordplay, so he decided to be petty when he got a sword)

Jiang Wanyin's demonic cultivation was pretty much a demonic version of the sword path as compared to canon Wei Wuxian's focus on demonic musical cultivation. It has some similarities to the Nie's method, but his "sword spirits" need to murder humans rather than resentful creatures. He had his sword with him in the burrial mounds because his core was crushed when he was thrown in and Wen Chao thought it would be fun to give him a weapon he couldn't use just to ramp up his despair.

He called his undead suporters by actually calling rather than playing music. (Imagine him just standing in a field of corpses and yelling "Wake up, lazy bastards!")

He helps the Wen Remnants only because he remembers Wen Ning, who cleaned his wounds and forced him to eat during their journey from Lotus Pier to Yiling, all while muttering quiet apologies for his family's actions. When he runs into Wen Qing after the war he first fights her and intends to kill her, until she screams about Wen Ning being missing. Then he agrees to help her find him and chucks some medicine at her head while he stalks off to get them horses.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Ynali want to help the Wen Remnants too, but can't because of the Sect they have to run and their already precarious standing in polite society. If the other sects turn against them they don't stand a chance, even with the Yiling Patriarch on their side.

Yunmeng Jiang does not participate in planning the burial mound siege. They sent only one representative to the actual event: Wei Wuxian who is secretely tasked with damage control. But he is only one man - he can't save more than an old lady and a little boy. (Jiang Yuan grows up with a Granny, a Shibo, a Aunt Jiang and an A'Ling.)

After his resurrection Jiang Wanyin finds a dog skeleton by the side of the road. He revives it and names it "Huaguan" ("flowercrown").

The novel is not a romantic comedy, but solely a murder mystery/gothic horror-esque story.

No love story, only sibling and family feels.

During sunshot Lan Wangji tried very hard to help Jiang Wanyin return to orthodox cultivation because Wei Ying cared about the guy's health. Jiang Wanyin blew up at him for being a righteous prick.

[thisisallthehattersfault]

Yes yes body horror and Becoming The Monster as in Losing Oneself and the grotesqueries of transgression, of ill-fitting skin stretched too-tight over bones that feel like they don’t belong to you anymore — but what about body horror as metamorphoses? What about Becoming The Monster as in Embracing The Shadow? What about Wen Ning who has never felt more himself when he was alive than he does now that he’s dead?

He is a MASTERPIECE, the greatest work of the greatest demonic cultivator of all time! His life was characterized by fear and uncertainty and loneliness and it was only in death that he learned how strong he really was, how capable, how resilient. If he had been the Ghost General during the war, or right after it, would the Dafan Wen have still died?

I just want Wen Ning to settle into the whole being undead thing and decide that he’s pretty okay with it actually! There’s so little left for him to fear, and the few things he does find actively unpleasant are all things that Wei Gongzi can probably fix if he takes some time to work on it. Wen Ning doesn’t like asking people for things, most certainly not for his own sake, but at the same time… Wei Wuxian, as an inventor, would want to know how his master work is faring, right? He’s never completely satisfied with anything he makes, always tweaking and tinkering, and he does keep Asking of Wen Ning needs anything, so…

I dunno where I’m really going with this but I think it’d be interesting to explore an AU where maybe Wen Ning gets to be lowkey kind of excited that he’s now an unkillable hyperbadass literally powered by all the rage he suppressed for so many years AND he gets to have that while also maintaining his cognizance and his genuine desire to help other people. Wen Qing shielded him from as much as she could but the results of that were Wen Ning feeling like he was quietly suffocating under the weight of his sister’s controlling brand of overprotectiveness — he loves her and appreciates everything she did for him but god was she good at making him feel small and helpless — and it didn’t even work because life under Wen Rohan was such constant stress that by the time Lotus Pier was burned Wen Ning was damn near numb to it. Now? Wen Ning only answers to one master. A master who Knows How To Utilize Him. A master who respects and cares for him as a person without trying to smother him! Wen Ning takes quiet pride in his existence as Wei Wuxian’s magnum opus and consequently in his ability to actually function as his General (personal bodyguard, second in command, right hand man!) he is the living (kinda) embodiment of both his family’s drive to survive and protect each other and his master’s brilliance and ingenuity.

I just think it would be cool! I just think it would be cool.

#wen ning #wen qionglin #the ghost general #mdzs #the untamed #ningxian #kinda if you squint #if I did an au like this #I’d want it to be a Wei sect au maybe #or otherwise one where the dafan wen survive #because I do think the circumstances surrounding the whole Becoming A Zombie thing #would have a big impact on his reaction to Becoming A Zombie #which is understandable! #but I love him and I want him to feel safe and happy in his own body #and while yeah you could do that by just like #Not having him be turned into a sentient fierce corpse #what if instead you did that specifically by turning him into a sentient fierce corpse #some teeth yearn for ripping!! #canines growing sharp out of black dog gums #Wen Ning has been been swallowing down the urge to tear people apart with his bare hands for years #now those hands are strong and marble-pale and capped with elegant little claws #and really who is he to look a gift horse in the mouth?

[thatswhatsushesaid]

you transmigrated into the body of wrh during active sunshot. what is your next move?

preen like a peacock in front of the mirror

after that i suppose my choices will vary dramatically based on where in the campaign i’ve landed. pre- or post-burning of the cloud recesses? have i commanded my minions to sack lotus pier yet? are my stupid idiot sons still alive or have they met with their respective grisly ends? (this matters since it informs how absolutely batshit insane i am.)

i strongly suspect that i will remain doomed for war crimes no matter what my next steps are, because wrh obliterated all faith and trust the jianghu might’ve had in him long before the sunshot campaign begins.

at least i look pretty tho. 👀

Shen Yuan after transmigrating into Wen Chao:

Sneaks past the OOC limitations to give Lan Wangji medicine for his leg. "We can't have others thinking the illustrious Wen sect mistreats its guests!"

Unlocks OOC function after completing a random night hunt during the Wen sect indoctrination.

Manages to charm Wen Zhuliu, Jin Zixuan, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and Jiang Cheng during the rest of the indoctrination.

Is still locked into quest: "Lake of fire, burning flowers: Destruction of Lotus Pier" and "Death of a man, birth of the Patriarch: Cast Wei Wuxian Into the Burial Mounds."

Airplane helps him out, having transmigrated into Su She, that two-faced scum Lan disciple.

[lemonlushff]

“Come to Lotus Pier,” the last letter had said. “It’s beautiful in the summer - you can’t beat the views! And the water, Lan Zhan! It's so nice! I'd love to show you around! What do you think?” Lan Wangji thought he wanted to come. Had wanted to for years…So this time, he said yes. He tucked the letter into his robes, kept it near his heart, and smiled internally all the way to Lotus Pier. 

Lan Wangji had been in love with Wei Wuxian for years now. If he could think properly, he would have been able to name the exact number of days, minutes, hours, seconds...But as it were, he was too captivated by a shimmering drop of water kissing the base of Wei Wuxian's nipple to think properly.

What he could (vaguely, mind you) remember were the countless letters they had exchanged over the years. How they had slowly become more flirtatious in nature - or so he hoped. How this hadn't been the first time Wei Wuxian had asked him to come. Wei Wuxian had begged countless times for Lan Wangji to visit until he finally, excitedly, said yes this time.

How every time he saw Wei Wuxian in person at a conference or briefly during a night hunt, his heart would yearn for just a few more minutes. Just a few more seconds with that radiant smile - that effervescent laughter. He was always struck by how Wei Wuxian looked even more beautiful than the last time Lan Wangji had seen him. How he had slowly changed from a thin wiry boy into the broad-shouldered, muscular man splayed out on the bridge before him.

He had known Wei Wuxian had changed over the years - of course he had. It was hard not to notice - it would be akin to ignoring the sun's shine...and in the moments he found himself alone, surrounded by the comforting blanket of darkness...Lan Wangji had allowed himself to imagine. He imagined all the ways Wei Wuxian had changed. What he would look like now, beneath the many layers of fabric and robes. He allowed himself to think of taught muscle rippling under tan skin. Heated whispers and breathless exclamations as he indulged himself and gave into his desires.

Lan Wangji frequently found himself returning to a favorite scenario where this time, his brother had sent HIM to the cold spring, only to find Wei Wuxian nude within. This was not much different, only it had been JC who had set Lan Wangji upon Wei Wuxian...And Lan Wangji was at a loss as to what to do. He had never dreamed of a real situation wherein he would be looking at Wei Wuxian like this. He had perhaps hoped that one day, maybe...Especially given the flirtatious tone their correspondence had taken over the last year...But this...This was perhaps more than Lan Wangji knew how to handle.

Wei Wuxian released a long, slow breath and moved the hand not pillowed under his wet hair to rest limply across his abdomen. Lan Wangji found himself following the movement with rapt attention...and noticed something that made his hot ears burn bright red.

Wei Wuxian was hard.

Beneath the thin, white pants he wore, Wei Wuxian was hard, and Lan Wangji couldn't look away. Everything was telling him to look away. To turn around and come back later. Their tour through the Yunmeng market could wait. They could have lunch together another time. He needed to...To—

—Wei Wuxian's hand moved further down, his fingertips brushing over his navel, inching towards the band of his pants. Lan Wangji had restraint like no other. He was a disciple of the Gusu Lan. He could recite their rules as easily as he could breathe.

As Wei Wuxian's hand dipped past the band of soaked fabric clinging to his skin, Lan Wangji forgot how to do both.

As if drawn forward by an invisible string, he took a step forward. The ability to speak - to say something - ANYTHING - was completely lost to him. He was utterly captivated "Lan Zhaaan..." Lan Wangji's world began to spin as he found himself falling sideways into the pond below.

The water was shocking and clarifying. It helped shake him out of the trance that had overcome him. He shouldn't be here. Wei Wuxian didn't know that he had been sent here, despite making plans the day prior. He had clearly forgotten. Become distracted. He could have snuck away before, but now...There was no way Wei Wuxian hadn't heard him. There was no way he didn't know he was no longer alone. Lan Wangji hoped he could grow gills. Perhaps become a jiāorén and swim far away from here. In this small, enclosed, inescapable pond.

A pond Wei Wuxian had now jumped into, and was pulling him up by the shoulders in.

Lan Wangji unthinkingly glanced down Wei Wuxian's body and coughed. Wei Wuxian's pants now hung perilously low thanks to the water and his movement - it was only by the will of some greater being that he remained clothed. If one could callthis clothed.

His pants were nearly transparent now, and while they had hid very little before, they hid practically nothing now.

Curse him.

Curse him and his lack of restraint where Wei Wuxian was concerned. He would be plagued by this for years. Both in his nightmares and his fantasies.

"Lan Zhan...Lan Zhan! Are you alright? Aiyo...Did you swallow a lot of water? Here, come sit on the bridge! Catch your breath!"

Didn't Wei Wuxian know that this was impossible with the way he looked? He wanted to push Wei Wuxian down against the bridge and—

"—There, that's better now, hm?" Wei Wuxian smiled brightly, sitting beside him, taking hold of the arm closest to him and rubbing Lan Wangji’s back. The heat of Wei Wuxian's body radiated through Lan Wangji's robes and scorched his skin. "Mm," Lan Wangji agreed, unable to bring himself to meet Wei Wuxian's eye.

"Are you alright, Lan Zhan?"

"Mm," he repeated.

"Ah! Good...I was worried, you know.." Wei Wuxian continued, an air of something unknown - something dangerous coming over him. It prickled at the back of Lan Wangji's neck. "It's very unlike the great Hanguang Jun to fall into the water for no reason...Perhaps," Wei Wuxian mused, "he saw something distracting?"

Lan Wangji felt panic well up in his chest.

Mercy...Would Wei Wuxian show him no mercy? After all they had been through together during their night hunts? The many clan co—

"—Perhaps," Wei Wuxian continued unrelentingly, "he saw something he liked?"

He knew. Wei Wuxianknew …but of course he did. How could he not? There would be no redemption. There would be nothing he could do to—

—Wei Wuxian reached out and cupped his face, turning it towards his own, forcing Lan Wangji to meet his eye. "Perhaps, he even saw something I wanted him to see? And heard something I wanted him to hear?"

Lan Wangji's lips parted, his eyes widening in shock as he looked for a trace of insincerity, but there was nothing there. All Lan Wangji found was open earnest hope.

"Wei Ying..." Lan Wangji breathed, the name shaky as he dared to hope himself.

"Ah Lan Zhan...Lan Zhan I thought you knew...I thought I had been clear in our letters," Wei Ying smiled, somehow still hopeful. "I've been waiting for you to make a move for so long...And then, when you accepted my invitation, I thought that maybe you liked me how I like you..."

It was here that Lan Wangji's world became fuzzy. He only understood short, clipped phrases from Wei Wuxian's rambling. Phrases like "tried to get you to see me" and "in love with you" and "hopped you felt the same" and "want you to be mine" and "last thing I could think to do".

All Lan Wangji could understand was that it had been premeditated. All of it. Wei Wuxian had served himself up on a platter like a feast for Lan Wangji's taking -intentionally - and Lan Wangji was a starving man. Wei Wuxian was saying yes. Please. I want you. And Lan Wangji wasn't going to say no.

Lan Wangji hurled himself forward, catching Wei Wuxian's mouth as Lan Wangji pushed him back onto the bridge. Wei Wuxian's body tensed at first from the surprise, then began to melt as his leg came up to wrap around Lan Wangji's waist, holding him in place.

Wei Wuxian sighed into the kiss, his fingers weaving through Lan Wangji's wet hair, and pulled him closer like he wanted Lan Wangji to melt into his body. Like he wanted to take Lan Wangji inside. Lan Wangji moaned into the kiss at the thought, trailing his lips along Wei Wuxian's jaw as he began to harden.

"Lan Zhaaaan," Wei Wuxian moaned as Lan Wangji scraped his teeth along the skin behind his ear. "Lan Zhan, please...Be gentle with your poor, fragile Wei Ying!" Your. He was rather fond of the sound of that.

Wei Wuxian was his...and he wanted everyone to know that. He took great pleasure in marking up the soft column of Wei Wuxian's neck - sinking his teeth into the tender skin of his throat, just above the knot. He enjoyed soothing the aggrieved skin with his tongue, only to do it again...

...And he especially delighted in the sounds Wei Wuxian made as he went. The little whining keens for more. The breathy gasps when Lan Wangji mouthed at his nipples, pulling one between his lips and toying with the other with his fingers.

The babbling pleads for him to be gentle with him when Lan Wangji pinched them, despite Wei Wuxian's hips thrusting upwards, seeking out some sort of friction to soothe the ache in his cock. Before, this could have been enough. It would have been sufficient.

Now, he wanted more. He wanted all of Wei Wuxian. He wanted his cock.

Unwrapping Wei Wuxian from his wet pants was like unwrapping a gift. He already could see...but it was somehow different. The water had hid little...but the view was still obstructed all the same. Baring Wei Wuxian completely was...

Better than anything he could have dreamed.

Lan Wangji didn't indulge in his wants often, but he did this time - allowing himself to pause and savor the reality of this moment. The lovely visage of Wei Wuxian, red chested and wet and panting as his equally red and wet cock eagerly jumped and twitched for attention.

There was only one word that came to mind when looking at Wei Wuxian like this:

Beautiful.

He wanted to remember this for the rest of his life...and the sounds that escaped Wei Wuxian as he took him into his mouth - slowly at first, to adjust to his large girth, then faster. Harder.

He hollowed his cheeks, and circled the head of Wei Wuxian's cock. Worked him until Wei Wuxian was pulling tightly at his hair.

"Lan Zhan...Ah...Lan Zhan...Close..."

That wouldn't do.

He wanted Wei Wuxian to come inside him.

Lan Wangji pulled off Wei Wuxian, ignoring his desperate cry and searching hands. Wei Wuxian wasn't going to get his way. Lan Wangji tugged off his ribbon and quickly tied Wei Wuxians hands above his head, delighting in the way his bruised and red mouth puckered into an outraged "O" before relaxing as Lan Wangji stripped.

His movements were slow and methodological as he delighted in the attention Wei Wuxian gave him - his eyes glued to every movement Lan Wangji's fingers made. Words of nonsensical encouragement tumbled from Wei Wuxian's lips, as the first layer fell wetly to the bridge.

Then the next.

Then the next.

Until he was completely bare. He enjoyed standing before Wei Wuxian, nude, watching his eyes widen as Wei Wuxian looked up and down his body - visibly swallowing when his gaze landed on his cock.

Lan Wangji internally smirked, pleased that he had been judged and found highly desirable.

Lan Wangji reached into the qiankun pouch he removed from his robes and plucked a bottle of oil from within. Holding Wei Wuxian's eye, he poured it over his fingers and sank to his knees above Wei Wuxian, bracketing his hips.

Then, still holding Wei Wuxian's gaze, he reached behind himself and circled his puckered hole.

It was a feeling Lan Wangji was familiar with by now, but despite this familiarity, Wei Wuxian's eyes on him made it feel new. Exciting. Slowly, he sunk one finger within - Wei Wuxian's moan making him shiver in delight. Then a second finger.

By the time he had reached a third finger, he was panting - his knees trembling. He likely needed more but…he couldn't take it anymore. Reaching behind himself, he slicked Wei Wuxian's cock before sinking down onto him. The sound Wei Wuxian released was positively animalistic. Lan Wangji loved it.

He loved the feeling of Wei Wuxian filling him. Stretching him to the fullest - nearly to the point of breaking. And then. He began to move.

He lost track of time as he rode him, allowing the pleasure of Wei Wuxian - the man he loved more than anything else in this world - filling him to inch him closer and closer to completion.

Wei Wuxian moved with him as best he could - firmly planting his feet to the rough, wooden bridge. He thrust up in time with Lan Wangji's movements, angling himself so he slid against a sensitive place within and soon he could feel the telltale tightening within his balls.

"Wei Ying..." he moaned, leaning forward to gain better leverage as he road Wei Wuxian's cock. "Close?" Wei Wuxian blinked up at him through bleary eyes - confusion was written across his face as if he were trying to see through the hot pleasure coursing through his veins. Lan Wangji could understand.

He felt like he was burning alive. He felt like every place Wei Wuxian touched him was a live wire. Like the bound hand on his hip was scorching his overly sensitive flesh as Wei Wuxian's nails bit into his skin.

"Close?" Lan Wangji repeated, his words coming out in a hot puff of air as he panted above Wei Wuxian. It was becoming too hard to think. Focus. He was so...

"Yes," Wei Wuxian moaned.

"Then come for me," Lan Wangji demanded, and he watched in fascination as Wei Wuxian did.

He watched Wei Wuxian’s face twist in pleasure. The tendons in his neck strain as he threw his head back. His whole body tensed as his cum flooded up into Lan Wangji...And Lan Wangji allowed himself to tip over the edge at the sensation.

His world whited out, and his ears began to ring. He stopped breathing as his body tensed up as he painted Wei Wuxian's abdomen white with thick ropes of his cum - some landing where that enviable, shimmering water drop had been before.

When the waves of pleasure subsided, he cracked his eyes open - unsure when they had closed - and found his head cushioned on the warm skin of Wei Wuxian's firm pectoral. He tilted his head up and took in the pleased, blissed-out expression on his face.

Wei Wuxian's fingers found their way through Lan Wangji's hair despite the binding, and Lan Wangji allowed himself to be held there, basking in the warmth of Wei Wuxian's attention.

"You know, I'm glad that worked," Wei Wuxian said after a moment, interrupting the pleasant peace that had washed over them.

"Mm?" Lan Wangji pressed, tilting his head up so his chin dug into Wei Wuxian's chest.

"Yeah. I wasn't really sure. I mean I'd hoped. But I didn't think it would work that well..."

"Wei Ying..." Lan Wangji smiled tenderly, pressing a kiss to his skin where he could reach.

"Only a fool would have said no. I have been called many things before, but a fool has not been one of them."

"...What about husband?"

Lan Wangji pushed himself off Wei Wuxian and took in the bright red flush of his cheeks as he also sat up, fingers tightly woven together and wrists still bound in his ribbon.

"Y-you don't have to say yes...It wasn't even really a good proposa—"

"—Yes." Lans do not interrupt. He felt it prudent to break this rule, just this once.

Wei Wuxian blinked owlishly at him.

"...Yes?"

"Mm. We should dress and inform people of our engagement. How do you feel about a summer wedding?"

"It's summer now! You want to wait a whole year?"

"No. I wish to wed now."

"I...Wha...We can't get married now!" Wei Wuxian sputtered.

"I don't see why not - why put off till tomorrow that which can be done today?"

An amused smile broke out across Wei Wuxian's face as he pulled Lan Wangji closer. "You really want to do this?"

"Mm," he nodded, delighting in Wei Wuxian's tender kiss. "I love Wei Ying. I do not wish to wait to call him my husband."

"Lan Zhaaaaaan..." Wei Wuxian whined, curling up into Lan Wangji's neck. "You're going to kill me with all of this talk. I'll perish before we can even wed!"

"Then we better hurry, before my future husband passes," Lan Wangji decided, standing from the dock and throwing Wei Wuxian over his shoulder. Abandoning their clothes, Lan Wangji began quickly walking back from Wei Wuxian's private pond towards his rooms, delighting in Wei Wuxian's squeal.

Lan Wangji was very glad he had finally accepted Wei Wuxian's invitation to Lotus Pier.

He had been right.

The views were unbeatable.

12. Hi! I was just wondering if you have any good, longer fluff pieces. They can have plot, but in general everyone is happy and no one gets hurt (unless it’s jgs). I know canon makes it a bit more difficult, but if you have any recs, that would be great! I’m just looking for fluff, humor, and plot

13. Hi! I am looking for canon-divergent fics where people think WWX dies but he actually doesn’t? I then want a big reveal when people realize he is still alive/never actually died. Thank you so much!

ahhh I just sent in an itmf ask about WWX dying but not really? I meant to specify that I want him to be "dead" for a long period of time, not just a brief gimmick. Long enough that people mourn him or move on, and then he comes back years later like in canon. Thanks, and sorry for not putting this in the first ask!
