It was unexpected for everyone, when Wei Ying woke up in the middle of being held to drink some water with a rug, helped by his brother.
He blinked weakly and looked up at Jiang Cheng with a relief that gave the younger boy the chills.
"Good to have you back with the living ones, dumbass," Jiang WanYin said, loud enough to be heard through the lifting fog inside Wei WuXian's brain and also be heard by the Jiang disciples that had accompanied him in the task of retrieving Wei WuXian from the cave.
Wei WuXian let go a grumble and fell back on the floor, letting a couple of moments pass by before he was startling everyone around when he sat back up in a hurry, looking almost frantic.
"'An Zhan?" He asked, his voice strained with feelings.
On cue, Lan WangJi rose from where he had been gathering his strength back attempting to meditate, and it was attempting because he was way too conflicted to accomplish that. "I am here, Wei Ying," he called back.
Wei WuXian's face brightened when he turned around to where Lan WangJi was standing, a wide smile that warmed WangJi's ears to the burning point.
"Lan Zhan!" He called again, scrambling to his feet. When he wobbled, Lan WangJi was at his side in a blink, helping him stand. Wei WuXian smiled at him again, even when Lan WangJi was giving him a stern glare. "Lan Zhan," he said again, softer, "I thought you'd leave as soon as we left that cave. I'm glad you didn't."
WangJi's glare intensified a hundred times, before he looked to the side, clearly embarrassed. Jiang WanYin was a step closer to stop his annoying brother from well, annoying the Lan Heir, when said teenager nodded, "mh."
Wei WuXian beamed.
Jiang WanYin grimaced.
"Hey, Lan Zhan?" Wei WuXian began again, his hands timidly holding onto Lan WangJi's forearm where he supported Wei WuXian so he wouldn't fall over. WangJi gave him attention with a glance, Wei WuXian took that to keep talking, "I... Wa-wangxian is a really good song."
Lan WangJi gasped audibly, letting go of Wei WuXian's arm before grabbing him again as if he couldn't decide what to do with his hand, with the information that Wei WuXian had just provided, or with Wei WuXian in general.
"What song is that?" Jiang WanYin asked, raising an eyebrow. Wei WuXian smiled at him and sighed dramatically.
"Ah, you see! It's my new favorite song ever, A-Cheng. It's so pretty... so gorgeous, so good to hear! I really... fancy it! I like it, I would like to hear it everyday. That's how much I've liked it!" He emphasized every word, squeezing Lan WangJi's forearm in the process.
Lan WangJi's head was down, as if he was staring at their feet, ears incredibly red.
"Wei Ying..." Came weakly from the boy, making Wei WuXian laughs softly.
"Ah, Lan Zhan. I'm being honest here. What do you think? Would you play it for me everyday?" He asked tilting his head to the side, in hopes of getting a look at Lan WangJi's face.
"How could he play the song for you everyday?! Don't be ridiculous, Wei WuXian!" Jiang WanYin admonished his brother.
After a beat, Lan WangJi spoke again, "Mh, ridiculous," he agreed. But he lacked the heat behind the insult, making Jiang Cheng frown further. What was wrong with these two?!
"Ah," Wei Ying noticed, "that's not a no, Lan Zhan," and he pointed it out. Lan WangJi tried to make a step back only to stumble with his own feet. Wei WuXian was there, still holding onto him and helping him to stay standing. "No need to fall for me like that! Lan Zhan!"
Jiang WanYin made a disgusted face, waiting for Lan WangJi to snap at his brother like he always did during their lessons at the Cloud Recesses, but that never came. Instead, all that could be heard in response was a weak "Wei Ying..." from the Lan Heir, and a loud laughter from Wei WuXian, who seemed entirely too happy in the ridiculous situation.
Honestly, Jiang Cheng thought, he didn't wanna know.

Fun idea:
Wei Wuxian gets his own Yunmeng Jiang disciples in disguise squads. This is because one time Jin Ling mentioned that Wei Wuxian was hurt on a night hunt and Jiang Cheng's anxiety levels hit a new peak, so he, in the fashion of people who take their hot iron on vacation, put assigned a squad of Yunmeng Jiang disciples as a protection detail.
YMJ disciple: So you want us to observe Wei Wuxian to study demonic cultivation?
JC (dead serious but also lying through his teeth): Absolutely, WWX is the foremost expert but he'll never tell us his secrets. It is of utmost important that he remain alive and well, so we can study him to ensure we are prepared for new demonic cultivation inventions.
YMJ disciple (not buying this for a second but willing to give the SL some face: Sounds legit.
-
A few months into the assignment.
YMJ disciple A (distressed) about WWX: He totally knows!
YMJ disciple B: He knows nothing.
YMJ disciple C: I've been a random rogue cultivator, a helpful villager and then a conveniently wandering monk on the same night hunt. That man can't remember faces for shit.

Inter-Sect Politics for the Absolute Beginner by Elpie (Horribibble)

Inter-Sect Politics for the Absolute Beginner
by Elpie (Horribibble) (@elpiething)
M, 3k, Wangxian
Summary: Today, with a formal missive from Koi Tower in hand and Zonghui staring at him with open concern, Nie Mingjue throws his head back and laughs and knows that no request will ever bring him such joy: Sect Leader Jin Guangshan has been brutally assaulted and, due to a conflict of interest, the Jin sect begs the assistance of the Honorable Sect Leader Nie Mingjue in the search for justice. - Wei Ying was raised in a brothel in Yunping, and Sect Leader Jin is having a very bad day. Kay's comments: Incredibly funny! Had me grinning the entire time. AU where Meng Shi was the one who found Wei Ying and took him in, offering him a home in the brothel. So, he grew up alongside Meng Yao and one day, when Jin Guangshan visits the brothel, Wei Ying is not going to stand by and look as his adopted family gets mistreated. Rest in pieces, Jin Guangshan's nuts. Excerpt: Without missing a beat, the young man laden in silks and ornaments and the almost tangible love of every courtesan in the room laden upon him like so much armor looks Sect Leader Jin dead in the eye and says, “A shitty lover, an angry drunk, but most of all an asshole.” Personally, Mingjue could not have asked for more. Except, perhaps, to borrow one of Huaisang’s fans to hide his face. “Young master,” Lan Xichen speaks up, ever the voice of gentle reason. “This is perhaps not the best defense…” For a moment, the youth stills, blinking at the elder jade, surprised by the sound of genuine concern. But then he takes a deep breath and plants his hands on his hips, clearly not having any of it. “It’s the truth.” He levels his gaze, once more, upon the gilded pervert. “You’ve got twenty kids at least, including A-Yao, so I know you know how a brothel works. You’re not new. If you’re coming into our houses to be a rotten bastard, you should just leave.” The only other man among the courtesans glaring death upon Jin Guangshan, has the spine to call, “Ying’er.” But Nie Mingjue suspects very little has ever deterred this man, least of all being called little baby.
pov wei wuxian, pov nie mingjue, canon divergence, canon era, wei wuxian isn't adopted by the jiangs, non-yunmeng wei wuxian, courtesan wei wuxian, brothels, bamf wei wuxian, jin guangshan being an asshole, justice, families of choice, crack treated seriously, humor, different first meeting

Absolutely obsessed with the idea of Jiang Cheng, in the wake of the Jiang Sect's massacre, just massively overdoing it with the defensive measures in Lotus Pier:
It was bad enough when they were first rebuilding, but in the nearly two decades that followed every single time Jiang Cheng had a nightmare about his family dying and/or Lotus Pier burning down, he would immediately get up and start working on the defensive arrays, or the evacuation plans, or so on...
People think of the Impure Realm as an impenetrable fortress, but after Lotus Pier burnt down and was rebuilt? No other sect could stand a chance against Jiang Cheng's obsessive paranoia.
Lotus Pier has everything from defensive arrays, to evacuation plans and saferooms, to secret codes and signals known only to the disciples, to hidden underground and underwater tunnels, to booby traps, barriers, poison gas, etc etc etc...
Never again will Lotus Pier be sieged—not if Jiang Cheng has anything to say about it.

Can we like. Stop projecting modern day western class discussions into mdzs. Or better yet stop talking about class altogether since so many of you are clearly ill prepared for it.
I love mdzs for how complicated and different it is from what I'm used to and seeing all of that get whittled down into the same old tired money/power = bad when it is so much more than that. It's a completely different system and culture. Western capitalist critiques isn't going to cut it people.

Au where Lan Qiren finds out about Wei WuXian's missing golden core by accident and takes his side.
............
Lan Qiren had been hiding after being chased out of his own home by the Wen. One of the disciples had leaded him to this town in the middle of the mountains of Yiling to keep him safe, but he spended his days sunken in worry, knowing that until news of any advances against the Wens came, he would have to stay put. He was not in his best moment, so one day, disguised, he went out to the town hoping he would catch anything about the war in the markets.
Instead, he caught sight of the most unruly disciple he ever had, and he approached him instantly.
"Wei WuXian!" He murmured, knowing well where they stood, once he was close enough. The younger turned around in momentary panic, but when he recognized his master, he stood up. Lan Qiren observed him cautious, Wei WuXian seemed almost ill, barely could stand straight. He was the shadow of the disciple he had meet at Cloud recesses. Aiding him to stand by the arm, Lan Qiren couldn't help but feel his pulse. Whether he was ill or not he would know! What he didn't expect was to find that second pulse that indicated the presence of a golden core. It only took Lan Qiren a minute.
His core is gone.
"Master Lan, no..." The voice was hoarse, tired and coated in pain, gray eyes filled with tears.
"What happened?" He wished to know, not letting go of his elbow, to keep him standing. Sorrow also invaded the younger face, but he looked away.
"Not here. Not safe..." the broken boy spoke, trying to lead the older to a closer inn, but Lan Qiren decided otherwise at the sight of Wen soldiers at some distance.
He grasped the boy from behind his waist hurriedly, and helped him walk back to his hiding place, always keeping an eye on their backs. Wei WuXian has not well, he knew the moment the boy's legs tangled when he tried to walk. He was powerless and could barely stand. He didn't seemed to have eaten anything proper in a long time, too.
............
"So you gave it to Jiang WanYin." It was not a question. But nonetheless, Wei WuXian noded slowly, hearing a sigh from Lan Qiren in response.
Food had been served for him, a warm bath that had revealed his ugly scar under his sternum, almost infected due to poor care. But he couldn't do better while waiting in the streets. A Lan disciple took care of that too, and they borrowed him clean robes. He felt... like he haven't since a long time ago.
He had recited the course of events from an absent perspective, how they had ran from Lotud Pier, even if Jiang Cheng was as reluctant as himself, and how pained they were when everything happened. "It didn't felt real, sir. It still doesn't." He had said before taking a sip of tea. The fires, the smell of familiar blood mixed with the water from the piers. He was the one to blame for all that, he said too. And Lan Qiren almost broke his cup when he put it down.
"You're not the one that provoked that, Wei WuXian. The Wens would have done it under any other excuse, as they did when they destroyed Cloud recesses too." The sorrow was almost tangible in the air, both had terrible memories from the past month, both were in the same boat.
"... Lan Zhan..." He started, not sure how to phrase his words, but concearned enough to try. Lan Qiren flinched at this, but complied with an answer.
"WangJi is... he is hurt. But he will be well. I'm sure." It was not that he didn't trust his nephew, but that he knew what the Wens were capable of. Wei WuXian tried to stand back on his feets at this.
"Then we have to--"
"We have to stay put. Wei WuXian, sit." He ordered. "I understand your urgency, and I share your concerns, but there is little we can do to help in our conditions." He tried to be sensitive about the missing golden core of the younger, even if he had confessed that it had been his doing and his choice, it didn't meant that it had been without any regrets and consequences.
Unsurprisingly, Wei Ying complies. He too knows that he's bond to whatever Lan Qiren decides to do or say. He makes it easier for them, staying put and hidden.
The next morning, Lan Qiren informs him that they are due to depart to other location, since the Wen are too close, and they can't risk being discovered. So he writes a letter for Jiang Cheng and Lan Qiren assures him that it will find the Jiang heir. Strangely enough, Lan Qiren was reminding him of his Jiang Uncle, but Wei WuXian attributed that to the mere fact of being on the run during so long, and that he was the same age his younger nephew was, so maybe the old Lan found in him something familiar, too.
That was not the case, but Wei Ying could only think that was the reason when Lan Qiren words started being somehow softer towards him as the days passed by.
Wei Ying, always on guard, saved the caravan of Lans a couple of times from colliding with the Wen soldiers on the road. Each time, he was sure that Lan Qiren wouldn't listen to him, but the older Lan proved him wrong both times.
Wei Ying felt useless, but Lan Qiren was nothing but a good guide and patient with him, encouraging the younger to train and meditate all he could, insisting that he had just as many possibilities of growing out a second golden core as Wen Qing had of doing the surgery successfully. And Wei Ying wanted to believe that so hard, that he did as his Lan Xiansheng indicated.
After all, the Lan Sect was widely known for their training for growing and strengthen golden cores, above others.
Of course that Wei Ying had better days, where he would rise at five and meditate along the other Lan disciples. But just as well he had worse ones, where Lan Qiren sat at his bedside with his guquin, playing music for the mind.
Wei WuXian felt pressured under the growing shadow of the ongoing war, scared that if something happened, he would be useless and only be a rock on the way, not only of his own family, but also for who had taken him under his wings to give him protection.
His brain, just as it always had been, was restless with ideas and inventions, pushed way further from the line of "being okay" by his impatience and the clear signs thay his golden core wasn't... he would have liked to say improved, but the golden core was gone. It wasn't there. And it wasn't coming back! That was the problem. So he did with it what he could do to cope, try and be useful.
"You're plain idiotic, child. I cannot allow such thing!" Lan Qiren put his cup down as he spoke, Wei Ying huffed and insisted.
"Wen Chao has been hunting me and Jiang Cheng since the fall of Lotus Pier! It's not idiotic! It's strategy!" He complained.
Lan Qiren glared at him, but considered all the cards on the table. This idiotic child had killed the Tortoise of Slaughter, along with his own nephew, but he had come up with the plan. WangJi had told him the exact events of that day, right before the attack to their home. He had rescued Jiang Cheng from under the noses of the Wen Soldiers and Wen Chao, and had always shown great mind for strategies and inventions. Of course, he hadn't done it alone, but Lan Qiren didn't need to know that.
He wouldn't want to, but the reality was that Wei Ying's plan was not bad at all. It was just idiotic.
Wei Ying seemed to read his contempt, because he spoke again, "I just have to give a little walk around the town, show myself a bit, and I'm sure that rumors will do the trick to lure them there!"
"That could possibly work, but the danger is still there. For you above all of my disciples." Lan Qiren states, soft but stern.
"Lan Xiansheng... I am well aware of that, but I cannot possibly stay safe while everyone else is putting their lives on the line. This is our war too. I want to be of use, regardless of the risks..." he pleaded, taking a step back and ready to kneel for his words.
A hand stopped him from doing so, heaving a sigh, "Let's go over this again, will you? Exactly what town do you have in mind for this?"
And like that, the planning began. Wei WuXian told his teacher the entire plan again, and Lan Qiren spotted the weaker parts of it so that they could strengthen them and minimize the possibility of the Wen having the upper hand.
With the two, a bright mind and an experienced one, their modest caravan of cultivators lured Wen Chao to an abandoned town at the base of a mountain, and trapped them there with wards set by Lan Qiren. They had no way to send for help, nor for food or any other thing, so it was only a matter of days until their proud chins fell to the floor to pledge for their actions in exchange for water and plain rice.
This, Lan Qiren frowned upon. Using starvation as a form of coaxing the enemy... it didn't sit well with him. But Wei WuXian reminded him that given the chance, the Wen would have had them chained and tortured. Wei Ying only had to mention the state in which Lan Zhan had arrived to the indoctrination to make Lan Qiren's statements waver. In the end, they would feed them, after all. They just needed to weaken their wills and bodies enough to take them as prisoners. It was cruel, but efficient, and wasn't in the darkest side of the things done in wartime.
"Righteousness will only get us so far, sadly, Xiansheng. But a war is a war, and the information that they have can save thousands," Wei WuXian had argued, a dark face that made Lan Qiren sigh and agree.
Once the reinforcements they had sent for to Qinghe arrived, they transported their prisoners back to the Unclean realm, where Wei WuXian finally reunited with his martial siblings, and unsurprisingly, Lan Quiren's own younger nephew, who's face had lighten up like he'd finally seen the sun shining again.
At the beginning, Lan Qiren thought he finally could hand back the responsability of carrying Wei WuXian around to his new Sect Leader, the old man found that instead of hugs and a warm reception, Wei WuXian was mostly frowned upon and unfairly treated.
Mostly, it was the Jin contingent that worded harsh complains to the boy, abusing of the fact that Wei WuXian could not longer bear his sword, and then became a matter of who his parents had been.
Lan Qiren remained quiet for the first half of it all, awaiting for the Jiang Sect Leader to shut down those cruel statements, since his head disciple was more than capable independently of the presence of a golden core, or from which womb he'd been born. But as the sneers and off handed comments started to truly bear down Wei WuXian, and the Sect Leader remained quiet, Lan Qiren had had enough.
Everyone inside the war tent came to a halt, respecting the Lan elder with careful eyes. Lan Qiren walked out, calling Wei Ying to follow him, and patted the boy's shoulder when he complied quietly.
Unrestrained as he was, Wei WuXian was a wonderful young man. Smart like no other, resourceful and bright. Always upright and held his good values too. Even if he'd been though so many painful things that would have cracked even the most perfect cultivators, Wei WuXian still considered others before his own well-being. And in the few months they'd been traveling together, Lan Qiren had learned that he would not put himself first unless he was told to.
So it wasn't hard for Lan Qiren to offer him a helping hand.
"Wei Ying, come back to Gusu once everything is over. I will host you, teach you, and find a way to restore your core, or cultivate a new one."
